June 1,2002, 7 in the morning, I arrived at Woodward Hall, Silliman University campus. I took my things out from Edith Carson Hall and transferred it to Woodward Hall. I went to Siaton in the afternoon to visit my relatives. I stayed there for 2 days and 2 nights. I was so excited to meet my new roommates because this will be my first time to be a big sis. And I can't imagine myself being one. At first, I thought that dealing with them will be a difficult thing. But I soon realized that kindness is all I have to show to win their heart. That's why it was never difficult for me.

     June 2 - Sheena Mae, the baby in the room, arrived with all her baggage and girlie stuffs. I was in Siaton that day that is why I wasn't there by the time she arrived. She came early because high school classes started at June 3.

     June 3 - I went back to Dumaguete to have my enrollment. after 3 days of stay in Dumaguete, I went back to Siaton again.

     June 5 - Joy arrived from the island of chocolates... BOHOL!

     June 8 - Pingping and Diding arrived. Fresh from the land of pineapples, BUKIDNON!

     June 9 - Frau-frau arrived on this day. A few minutes later, I also arrived from Siaton.

     And this was how we became one family

     I am their Ate Mommy. My eldest child is Fraulein G. Burlat. Next to her are triplets.. Joy Marie Java, Phoebe Jumalon and Menargie del Socorro. And the youngest is Sheena Pike. Maybe you're wondering why they have different family names. It's not because they have different dads. It's because they came from different tribes.

     Just look at their pictures and you'll be the one to decide which tribe they belong.
