LALAWIGAN NG PAMPANGA, PHILIPPINES

PAMPANGA, PILIPINAS

My uncle passed away when I was young. I didn't grow up having a good relationship with my parents. So, He was my safe haven.

I remember it was my first time stealing and I stole a Yan Yan. We'd always pick up groceries in Jersey and drive to New York to visit my uncle because being an illegal immigrant money was tight. Our routine was to go to church, get groceries and drive to my uncles and we'd all have a big dinner. Me and my sister would always trade the little animal shape Yan Yans and I felt really quilty for biting their heads off. My favorite was the koala with chocolate.
