My Life

Let me start my Blog with my personal introduction. By the way im not an English expert and i may also write some of my blogs in tag-lish meaning tagalog and english. You can call me Chelony , thats not my real name but im using it since i was in highschool , i guess i strated using that in 1995.

Chelony comes from Chel supposed to be Che but my Auntie called me that way and Looney , from the looney tunes because im fond of it when i was young. So I created Chelony as my pen name, thats my first Idea, but fortunately i used that name in my paintings, my business and radio station as Dj Chelony in Radio Natin 105.3 FM and in Da Best 98.5FM , but acctually i worked in the radio station 3 times the second one was with the different management which I used the name of Dj June because i was Born on June 23. Basically this Blog is all about my life, Art, Events, Community and anything under the sun.

I was born and raised in Lipa City Batangas Philippines , my mother grown up in Rosario Batangas but she actually born in Samar Leyte during my grandparents vacation , she has a little percent of Spanish blood, while my father was really a pure Batangueno. I am the eldest of 11 but my 10th sibling died at 2 1/2 years old due to her heart illness. I can say that we are a happy typical Filipino Family in spite having a hard life in a small community called San Jose. My father is a farmer that time in their own land with lots of animals in the backyard and my mother is a dressmaker , so they are helping together to raise us all , by the way when i was small sometimes my mother dont buy me a dress shes just making it and we are getting are food from the crops that my father and grandparents planted. We lived in a very simple way but my parents are creative and hardworking people and I inherit it i guess.

My father loves to sing and play guitar , thats why all of us loves music and even all of us have no golden voice , we really love to sing especially when there is a power interruption, thats our bonding moments with our father. My mother loves art, even shes not good in drawing , when i was young shes the one helping me with my arts project in my early days in Elementary school.

I can say that , more of the kids grown being creative, resourceful,loving,with respect to others and flexible. Our parents teach us to be a down to earth people and not harm others.

Our life is actually ok , we had small businesses like garments, belt making, bag making , backyard piggery, chickens, bakery , lomi haus, but all of those doesnt work because my parents need to raise us 11,i felt sad of our situation , the happiness became sadness and fighting sometimes because lack of food and material things and everything that is why I told myself i need to do something, I need to help my parents as the eldest , even i love arts and i want to finished college, i set them aside. So I chose to stop in schooling when i was in first year college, I chose to work for them. One great decision I've made even i dont finished college, I can say that maybe I am better than those people who finished their degree didnt used it atleast I can say that I am more experienced that those people and luckier because I really enjoyed the Adventure of my life and I really explored, learned from good and bad experiences of my life.
