I Was Raised By


I was raised by

Sinigang eating

Filipino cooking

Leche flan so good you want to lay

down and die with it

“Don’t get more than what you can eat”

Kind of Family

 

Some peach-skinned

Nature loving, neat freak

"Keep everything clean

and go natural"

Sorta Mom

 

Some black-haired

Mocha brown, penny-wise

"Work hard but

work smart as well

Sorta Dad

 

Some thin-bodied

Creamy white, pale skin

Hide and seeking

Hopscotch playing

Simple wearin

"Keep it simple and

Go for the basic"

Type of Sisters

 

Some rosy-cheeked

Chinita eyes, straight haired

Sarcasm answering

Criticizing

"Don't ask a stupid question

If you don't want a sarcastic answer"

Kind of Sisters

 

Some concert going

Rave dancing

Say it loud

You only live once

Tiësto listening

Sort of cousins

 

Some family oriented

Beach hopping

Outgoing

World traveling

"Go out and make an

unforgettable day"

Type of royalty

 

I was raised by

My Family
