Familia Lacanienta

         

           Family is God’s greatest gift to us so for me, it is the most important thing in the world. I thank God so much for giving me a wonderful family. I am so proud to be a Lacanienta! Not because the surname is unique and rare but because my family makes me feel special. So now, I would like to introduce to you the rarest jewel that I have in my life and that is my family.

(drum rolls)

              Introducing…. Ferdinand Lacanienta. This is my loving father. He has a handsome face with a very strong nose, which I really like. Most of the time, he’s away for a business but we never forget to get in touch to each other. He calls every night, he even calls in the middle of his work just to say hi, and I love you. He’s a very devoted husband to my mom and a loving father to his four daughters. Even though, he’s a busy man, he tries to the best of his ability to make time for us. He’s also supporting his parents up to present. My dad really loves dogs so we have four cute dogs at home although he got asthma from them. He plays the guitar. My dad also loves to jog and he’s kind of obsess with it. Running is just his favorite sport. Every night after his work (if my dad is in Iloilo), he jogs at sports complex with my mom. He also likes to tell jokes which is, by the way, really funny but now I can’t seem to remember them. Oh boy, I’m so bad. Hehehe!

        

             Introducing….Ma. Elena Lacanienta, my dearest mother. She likes to be called, “Maying” because she has a lot of cats when she was young. So her yaya nicknamed her, “Maying” because of the meow sound. My mom is very supportive. I remember dancing ballet in front of a big crowd that almost gave me a heart attack but when I saw my mom’s lovable face, I was encouraged to do my best and it was a success. That night, after the show I sent her a small letter saying, “I did the dance for you.” I remember her teary eyes. That beautiful day happened on mother’s day.  I also adore my mom’s cooking so I always tell her to take a culinary course when we get back to Manila.

        

Introducing….Pauline Lacanienta, the eldest. She is 16 and a senior in Assumption. She’s very intelligent and very serious in her studies. I am 99.9% sure she has Einstein’s brain. Really. I tell you I have never seen her flunk her grades. EVER. I really think she'll be very successful in life. She plays the piano and attends piano lessons every Saturday. She is a bookworm, a nutella-lover and of course, a music lover. She also likes f-a-s-h-i-o-n.

       

         Introducing…..Celine Lacanienta, the second-born daughter of my parents. She is 14 and is currently studying in Assumption. She’s sweet and very friendly. I adore her big, black eyes because mine is kind of Korean, they say and hers is classic like Audrey Hepburn's eyes. She plays violin. She’s also a bookworm. What she reads, is mostly classic. She’s a Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte’s fan. Her favorite book is Jane Eyre, which was written by Charlotte Bronte. She is pretty good at writing stories and dreams to see her own stories published someday. One of her dreams is to be an author, of course.

         

        Introducing…Regine Lacanienta, my youngest sister. She is 11 years old. She is good at singing. She likes to draw especially anime. She is very playful. She is mean to me sometimes. She also likes to tell jokes and plays the guitar like my father.

(drum roll ends)

          

          I love my family. Our bond is so strong that not even one can ever break the bond that we have. We will always be together...forever. No matter what we will experince, we will always be the Familia Lacanienta and no one can ever change that. EVER.
