"Savinah! Gising na anak, we're moving, puyat kasi ng puyat kaya di makabangon"
Yes, ganyan agad bungad ko pag-gising. Si mommy-ng nasigaw!
"We're moving na anak! Your breakfast is ready!"
That's dad naman, he's really grumpy but he can be really soft.
"Savinah oh my gulay! Malalate tayo sa flight! Mama miya ija!"
She's my lola, very girly and always stressed about simple things!
"Asaan ang susi ng kotse?!"
Well... That's my lolo na laging stressed din. And alagang-alaga sa kotse nya!
And hi, it's me Savinah De Leon. Who they call "Savi". 7 year old currently, and I have been questioning my gender lately because I haven't really got a "crush" they say or whatsoever but yes, I just don't feel really interested into boys. I am my parents's "Unica Ija" which means only daughter or only child. And our situation right now is now very pleasant. Now I'm here bawling my eyes out in our car because we're moving into a new country. And basically adopting a 7 year old girl. So no more "Unica Ija"! I'm sure my parents just want to make me feel less lonely since my brother to-be past away though he was still in my mother's stomach. Pero it's okay, I'm sure he's happy up there.
During our flight, tinanong bigla ako ni mommy about my soon to-be sister.
"Anak, I want you to get along with your sister ha, you may not be sisters by blood, but you will be by heart. Tandaan mo yan. And I want you to pick her name."
I nodded and fell asleep during the next few hours. You might be curious kung saan kami mag-momove. We basically lived in "Rome, Italy" life was pretty quiet there. Pero, my dad saw a post na nagsasabing
"31 girls and 26 boys, up for adoption. They are one of the victims in the war between "Ukraine" and "Russia" they all have different ethnicity. They are from a school in "Ukraine", please do help them and shower them with love"
So here we are now, papuntang "Switzerland" Di ko pa sure kung saan don pero yun ang naalala kong sinabi ni mommy. Dito kasi nakatayo yung adoption center. At i-pipick up nalang namin yung "Australian" kong kapatid. Di ko alam kung yon ba yung mapupunta samin pero sabi ni lola ang babait daw ng mga "Australians"
Fast forward, we're now here in our new home. Di sya kamukha ng dati naming moderno-ng bahay na colorless. Ang pretty ng house na'to. Ang vibrant ng colors. And super laki! Ang daming kwarto- And ang daming c.r! May malaking kusina.. May lake pa! Pwede akong magpicni-
"Ija! Baka mahulog ka sa ilog ay nako! Lalakad na daw tayo, kukunin na sister mo!"
Nagising bigla ako sa boses ni lola.
"Heto na po la!"
