Who am I really... #unfiltered

      

      Sabi nila, "Mama knows best." Yeah, you read it right. I disturbed & asked my favorite person which is my mom - to write my positive & negative traits from early childhood to young adulthood. Sabi ko pa sa kanya "Yung totoo lang at walang echos!". So lets see kung ano ba yung pinagsasabi ng Nanay ko sa akin at kung pasok ba sa mga pinagsasabi ko sa 'Getting to know MI' na ginawa ko. 😐

Early - Middle Childhood

1. When Maybel was still a baby, she's not a crying baby, always smiling & giggling if someone makes her laugh.
2. Pinaggigilan dahil cute
3. Tahimik na bata
4. Umiiyak kapag inaasar o inaaway siya
5. Mahilig maglaro kahit mag-isa niya lang.
6. Marunong nang mag-ayos at maglinis ng bahay pati magbuhat ng gamit.
7. Gusto niya organized lahat ng mga gamit tulad ng mga tsinelas, nakahilera iyan.

Adolescence - Young Adulthood

1. Mahiyain 
2. Like Mama, she also has uncontrollable laughter and bedroom is her comfort zone.
3. Hindi paakar (Aalis lang ng bahay kapag uutusan o may importanteng lakad.)
4. Organized sa mga gamit.
5. Binibilang muna ang mga lalabahang damit niya.
6. Hindi mapili sa pagkain.
7. Trustworthy
8. Caring
9. Generous
10. Humble
11. Secretive (Iisipin muna kung dapat ba sabihin o hindi.)
12. Sweet
13. Mahilig sa mga surprises 
14. Mahilig siya manood ng mga nakakatawa
15. Manlilibre siya kapag may sapat siyang pera.
16. Pinapahalagahan niya kahit napakaliit na bagay kapag may binigay ka sa kanya.
17. Kapag naggrocery o namalengke kami, gusto niya siya ang magbubuhat ng pinamili.
18. Appreciative in everything 
19. She makes me laugh by sharing some funny jokes, memes or stories.
20. Friendly but too selective sa mga taong nakakahalubilo niya.
21. Hindi mapili sa damit na isusuot. Sometimes, she will ask me kung okay ba yung suot niya o hindi.
22. She could tolerate criticism from other people but deep inside, she would take it personally, overthink & got overemotional.
23. When she is curious something, she will go to me like...

           Maybel: Ma, pwede magtanong?

           Mama: Ano 'yon? (feeling nervous because sometimes I cannot give her an exact answer that she wants to hear.)

    24. When she wants to talk to me while I am watching TV, she will pause it for a while.

    25. Ayaw niyang ipalinis at ipaayos yung kwarto niya. Gusto niya siya lang.

    26. Laging nagdadoubt sa sarili.

    27. Being lazy & stubborn sometimes when she's not in the mood to listen.

    28. Being mischievous when she's in the good mood such as acting like a kid or playing prank.

    29. Too talkative (Yung inaantok ka na pero siya gusto niya pa makipagkwentuhan.)

    30. Nagdideactivate ng social medias niya especially Facebook & Messenger kaya minsan hindi siya macontact.

Why 'La Vida de Chabelita'? 🤔

Naikwento ni Mama sa akin na kapag nagpupunta raw kami sa bahay ng Parents' house ni Papa at nakikita ako ni Lola Maura nung maliit pa lang ako ay tawag sa akin 'Chabelita'.

Favorite raw kasi panoorin ni Lola yung Mexican telenovela na "Gotita de Amor" at parang ako raw yung bata na Chabelita na pangalan. 

Sa totoo lang, nalaman ko lang din iyon 2 years ago kaya ginamit ko na rin yung 'Chabelita' at para na rin pahalagahan yung nagiisang memory ko sa Lola ko kahit hindi ko pa talaga siya nakabonding dahil super duper liit ko pa noon. Si Mama lang ang nagkukwento sa akin. 

Bagay din naman sa akin, di ba? 

Chubby + Isabela + Maldita = CHABELITA HAHAHAHAHA 🤣 Pero baka maniwala kayo na 'Maldita' talaga ako. Minsan lang. 😂

Bakit Spanish yung blog name? May lahi o dugo ba kayo na Spanish?

Hm your honor, hindi ko na po maalala. 😐

HAHAHA JK. Wala naman. Trip ko lang po. At saka pakiramdam ko noon gusto ko matutong magSpanish. I even don't know why? Pero Basics pa lang ang alam ko. Si Papa talaga ang medyo marunong magSpanish. 

La Vida de Chabelita means "Chabelita's Life" 💜

Bakit Blog at hindi Vlog dahil iyon na ang uso ngayon?

Awkward kasi ako humarap sa camera. Hindi rin ako ganun kaconfident. Isa sa mga kaartehan ko kapag sarili ko na ang usapan.You know what I mean. Not pretty to see. At saka mas gusto kong sinusulat yung stories, thoughts at feelings ko kaysa magsalita at least pwede pa iedit, di ba?

Bukod sa pagiging clumsy, minsan nagiging careless din ako sa words ko. Yung hindi mo naman intensyon sabihin pero iyon ang lumabas sa bibig mo. 

Isa pa, ang nakapaginspire sa akin na magblog ay si Maine but of course, with my own content.

Hindi lang dahil nainspire ako pero gusto ko rin magblog because you don't know what the future holds so here's my few reasons:

• To leave something in this world that created by me and my loved ones would always remember me.

• To understand myself more and to look back on how I changed for the better, healthier & stronger person. 

• For people who's interested to get to know me deeply.

• To inspire & motivate others from my simple yet meaningful entries & stories of my life.

Iyon lang naman. 😊
