I wake up and I remember what happen to me in the Mall. Am i alive? Did God give me a chance to live? I scan my surroundings and it is not familiar to me.

Where am i? Nasa hospital ba ako? But i don't feel hurt in my body. I raised my hand and i was so confused. What happen to my hand? Why is it so small? What happen to me?

Did my soul transfer to someone's body just like a Manga that i read?

Why am i crying? Gosh nagugutom ako. Jesus! Why am i crying? I can't stop but to cry! I am hungry!

"Aww.. cho cho cho~. " i saw my father's face in front of me. Papa.... you are alive? I really wanted to cry though this baby in my body is crying right now.

"Aww... gutom na baby ko?" Binuhat ako ni papa at pinainom ng gatas.

Just like how Papa always tell me a story about how he takes care of me while i was a baby. Yeah.... instead na si Mama yung nag aalaga sa akin, si papa yung parati akong pinapakain, nililigo at pinapatulog. My mom's body was weak kaya si papa yung nag aalaga sa akin. Though pag gising ni mama ay nilalambing niya ako.

I never though that i found myself being a 'baby me'. As i turn 3 yaers old sinasabi ni Mama na nagmama yung utak ko sakanila. Well my Dad and Mom is really intelligent. But i can't remember being intelligent in Highschool... nah! I was soooooooooo fck up when i was in highschool. I always remember that because that's the years where malayo layo yung self ko sa Parents ko.

It's my first Day sa Grade 1 ngayon at hinatid ako ni Mama sa school. I remember this public school, ofcourse! This is where my Bad memories starts.

"Magandang Araw sainyo mga Bata" -my teacher introduce her self.

Our teacher gave us some Activities and because I am an adult in a child's body, ofcourse i can easily answer all of this.

"Wow levi, very good" puri ng teacher sakin. May kinuha siya sa table ko.

"Oh ayan, may tatlong star ka kasi na perfect mo lahat" she smiled at me. I smile at her too. Wew. Thank you God for giving me this chance i will surely be good.

"Uy ako pala si Gerald ito yung kapatid ko si Kate" pakilala ng gwapong bata sa akin.

"Ako si levi" i smiled at him. I remember this guy! Siya yung half filipino ko ma classmate nuon sa Grade 1. I have some fun memories about this guy pero yung ibang memories ko sa Grade 1 ay nakalimutan ko na. But i remember my Mom wants me to take a private tutor sa school noon. I bet that will happen.

"Bye levi! Laro ulit tayo bukas nandito ma si Mama" kumaway sila sa akin habang nakita kong sinalubong sila ng Mama nila.

"Levi nandito na Mama mo"- ani ng guro ko.

I smiled as i saw my mom.

"Hi ma'am. Magandang hapon po" bati ng guro ko kay mama. Binati din ito ni mama.

"Baka gusto mo na magpa Tutor si Levi every Saturday. May mga advance class na siya niyan. Alam mo ba na sobrang talino nitong batang ito" pagk-kwento nito kay mama. I almost laughed nung pinuri niya ako. I sigh, teacher kung alam mo lang na 22 years old nako magugulat ka talaga.

My mom agreed to my teacher. Sabi ko na nga ba, mauulit to. I sigh.

"Kumusta yung school mo anak? May natutunan ka ba?" - malambing na tanong ni mama habang naglalakad kami palabas sa skuwelahan.

"Yes mama naka 3 star po ako" i smiled at mahigpit na hinawakan ang kanyang kamay.

"Kain na kayo nagluto ako ng sinigang" bungad ni paoa sa bahay. Gosh lord! Salamat talaga at matitikaman ko ulit ang masarap na luto ni papa.

"Marami rami yung kain mo nak ah! Paborito mo ba ito?" Tanong ni papa sa akin.

"Opo papa!" Masigla kong sabi. Feel na feel ko na talaga yung pagiging bata ko ngayon.

"Papa turuan mo akong magluto" lambing na  sabi ko sa kanya.

"Pag laki mo anak tuturuan kitang magluto" he smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"Kumusta nga pala yung pag-aaral mo?" Ngiti na sabi ni papa. Nilinga ko naman si mama at nakita kong  nakangiti ito.

"Perfect po ako sa activity namin papa. Tas naka three star ako" proud ko na sabi sa kanya. I smiled as i realize that this memory right now will neber be forgotten. I will always be thankful to God because of this chance that he gave me.

My Grade 1 life is nothing much to be excited of. Malapit na din akong mag Grade 2 and this week will be our final exam i guess kasi next week yung recognition namin.

"Do your best in exam anak ok?, i know you can do it. Always pray and ask God for help" mama kissed my forehead and say Goodbye to me.

Usually pag Grade 1 ka you cannot stand without your mother watching you, but because i am an adult in a child's body of course di ako iiyak. Pero i can't remember na umiyak ako noon dahil iniwan ako ni mama.
Well i was independent when i was in Grade 3, ako na nga yung sumasakay ng Jeep patungo sa school. 30 minutes din biyahe nun kasi nag lipat kami ng bahay that time instead na malapit sa school yung bahay namin noon eh naisipan nila mama na sa Bahay malapit sa Pamilya nila Mama at Papa kami titira.

"Wow perfect ka ulit sa exam anak! Ang talino mo talaga" puri ni Papa sa akin.  I just smiled.

"Jason! Tara tumbang preso tayo!" Bati ko sa pinsan ko na si Jason.

"Sige. Sabihan mo sila gwen at quirobim" ani nito. Naghananao naman siya ng Lata at nilinis ito habang nagmamadali akong tawagin sila gwen.

I always remember gwen, quirobim and Jason in my past life. Isa din sila sa mga taong nag tagal sa akin. I smiled. Ah... How i wish i can take video of this happening.

"Congrats anak! Honor ka"

"Galing galing mo talaga"

After the recognition ay pumunta kami sa isang fastfood to celebrate my success.

"I hope that you will always be humble anak, always be humble ok?" My dad and Mom reminded me. I smiled as i nod. I enjoy myself eating some burger and chicken.

This is the beginning of my Journey and I know that you are watching me and guding me. I love you.
