The Peters

went directly to the dining room and there naabutan ko sila nakaupo na sa table while waiting sa breakfast at sa akin narin.

I greeted my parents goodmorning sabay kiss sa kanilang cheeks, ginulo ko ang buhok ng 15 year old brother ko na si Nathan at niyakap ang kakambal nitong si Nathalie.

Mom is busy looking sa isang magazine na kami ang front page. We are the family entitled "The Successors" habang sumisimsim ng kanyang tea, she is one of the toughest business analyst dito sa Pilipinas, kayang kaya niyang itama ang mga mali sa mga business proposals at alam niya kung paano ito mag wowork. I admire her a lot because despite of being the boss in her field, still she managed to be a mother of this family. Kaya niya parin kaming alagaan, she is very certain in time management. She is Felicity Cindy Willows Peters, my mom.

Dad is busy reading the newspaper while drinking his coffee, probably all about business. As far as I've checked we are still on the same spot as the top 5 most successful family in the Philippines. Napansin kong naka white longsleeves si dad with blue tie at naka prepare ang kanyang coat sa living room, I can sense na may meeting siyang dadaluhan. Well my dad is the ceo of Export Corp habang hinihintay ang pag turn over ng pwesto sa akin. Export Corp is one of the most successful businesses here in the Philippines, dahil si dad ay isang extraordinary businessman he managed to be the ceo of 3 different companies, sabi pa niya para tig iisa-isa kami mag kapatid.

Export Corp na isang exportation company at sikat ito sa buong mundo dahil sa quality ng mga produkto na dala ng Export Corp at ang iba't ibang marketing strategies na kayang ioffer sa mga mamimili.

Sumunod naman ang Prestige Suites na isang 5-star hotel worldwide, it offers the best type of services, with the best type of rooms, with different cuisines all over the world, at nag ooffer ng iba't ibang accommodations, maybe that what makes it different among all hotels.

And we have, Lines well ito naman ay more likely sa mga high-end technologies, this business is somewhat futuristic, kaya nilang mag invent ng gadgets, software, everything related to technology.

Well if we have the most amazing mom, we also have the most amazing dad. He managed to get these degrees and excelled these fields. He is very hardworking. He is Philip Voltaire Anders Peters, my dad.

Napatingin naman ako sa kambal kong kapatid, una kong napansin ang blank facial expression ni Nathan while reading his book habang naka headphones. Studious talaga siya, in  a way na hindi mo mahahalatang 15 years old pa lang siya, kasi kung kumilos at magsalita siya parang twice of his age na. He doesn't speak too much, ayaw niya yong nonsense, nag sasalita lang siya kung kinakailangan. Even though cold siya but he is the most thoughtful para na siyang kuya dito sa bahay. He is very sweet to us, especially sa kakambal niyang si Nathalie. Iniingatan niya ang mga taong/bagay na mahalagag sa kaniya. Nathaniel James Peters, my brother.

And napansin ko ang busangot na mukha ng kakambal ni Nathan na si Nathalie habang nakatingin sa wide pad niya, isa ito sa mga nainvent ng company parang Ipad pero pwedeng maging laptop at marami itong better and upgraded features. Napansin kong she is working with another design, she is the artist of this family, she is into colors, paintings, and many more about arts. She is the exact opposite of Nathaniel, dahil napaka expressive niya as a person. In a way kung hindi niya ito gusto, you can already see it in her face at dagdagan mo pa ng pagiging honest niya. She is a bitch but the sweetest bitch I know, kasi naman she knew when to stop, to control herself. She doesn't go overboard and she knew how to make her criticisms lighter and di masyadong harsh. She hates studying but still able to get an A+ grades in school. Kirsten Nathalie Peters, my sister.

Despite our hectic schedules, we still have a quality time with each other gaya na lamang ng breakfasts, weekends, and special occasions. That is the number one rule in this household. "No one is ever busy when it comes to your family."

I am really happy that we are raised properly by our parents, despite of being wealthy. They never let us achieve the things we wanted to without hard work and perseverance.

Kahit pa we are one of the most successful family in the Philippines, hindi nila pinapalaki ang ulo namin. They raised us with the Filipino parenting, gave importance to the different virtues and values in life that we should have. And last but definitely not the least, they put us closer to God.

And with that sense, I can say. I am proud to be part of this Family. I am proud to be Peters.
