Hello guys! I am Ian, I'm from Philippines. I am here to share my story to you guys. I hope you guys like it!

September 9 1988, a boy was born in Mindanao(the southern part of the Philippines). The father has to go back to Manila in a few, to go back to his family, because his wife doesn't know that he impregnated another woman in Mindanao. He also saw that the boy wasn't growing the way he wanted to be. The next day, the boy was taken away from his mother and brought to his father's sister in Manila so someone would take care of him.

After 5 more years, the boy didn't knew anything about his real identity for his eyesight came out late by the age of 2.
His father visits him every month but never stays long. He thinks his aunt is his grandma, and he even doesn't know about any mother in his life.
III
At the age of 7, he was introduced to his father's family, and the next year he started living in his father's house. Unfortunately, he and his stepmother didn't had a very healthy relationship at all. But, who can ever blame the woman? She was a very loyal wife to the man, and now another woman's son is living in her house.

Eventually, the mystery of his life was revealed to him by his dad. And as expected, the revelation caused the boy to start failing his grades, rebelled on his parents, and craved for great attention. He was also dearly desperate to see his real mother.

As the years passed by, he continued hate everything, including himself, thinking that he was a total failure in life, even in the very beginning. He was suicidal on several occasions. He was even brought to both a psychological institute and a psychiatrist.

2007, his father informed him that his real mom just died of cancer. This was really a painful experience, because the boy, me... I never experienced my mother, not even once.
RIP Ms Armilla Undug
Today... I am starting to love myself more. The people that couldn't accept me for who I am, I don't care... Only I and God himself can judge Ian, no one else.
For everything that I am now, I would like to thank everyone(that includes even my enemies...) that had been a part of my life, without you... there would be no reason that I would start to love myself, nor others. *bows*
