A lurid glare under the Stars: The Beginning

U might wonder where I got this title for my blog. Well, I got it from the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Though, I didn't enjoy the novel at all, this particular line captured my attention.. a lurid glare under the star..though what it might really mean in the novel doesn't have any connection on why i like it..
Well, I wonder where i should begin introducing my life to all of you. I guess I should begin at my birth, since I believe that life really starts at age 0, u can't just throw away several parts of your life by saying that life begins at age 20 or so on so forth...
I was born in a small family, we only comprise of 4, but since we are so close to our relatives, i have never felt that my family is small. Im the youngest daughter of my parents...who at first thought that they would be having a baby boy...kind of funny right?
We are just a typical Filipino family, living in accordance of our means and values. But nevertheless, I can say that somehow we are happy, though there are times that we don't admit it in ourselves.Since I was a kid, my parents ventured ito different small businesses, and I'm quite used to them right now. I believe that somehow, my family livelihood helped me to realize certain realities of living.
My childhood is quite boring, I guess.. I never really had the chance to play taguan and agawan base with our neighbors.. I don't know why, it just turned out that way..
To be continued....
