Tapsilog

I'm 29 now, turning 30 tomorrow, yet I still remember that one morning when my mom cooked tapsilog and prepared rice, egg, cucumber, and tapa only for two people.

We are three siblings and I'm the youngest. I know I'm not the favorite. I knew exactly that time that it was meant for my brother and sister. Feel ko ang babaw na everytime I think about it naiiyak ako and nasasaktan.
There was also one time I wanted to celebrate my birthday, kaso pagod si mama at ayaw magluto, so I asked my cousin to cook spaghetti for me and asked for money from my papa so I could buy a cake for myself. Hahaha I still remember how funny it was buying my own cake I was 12 or 13 that time.

I'm okay now, di ko lang maiwasang maiyak kapag naaalala ko. I hope future parents, or parents now, na never niyo iparamdam sa mga anak niyo ang favoritism, kasi dadalhin nila yan hanggang pagtanda. Yon lang gusto ko lang mailabas to baka kahit papaano kapag nalala ko, di na maiyak hahaha
