Life of Being a Tita (Aunt) at a Young Age
At the young age of four, I am already a Tita. Believe me when I say there are benefits and somewhat disadvantages of being an auntie at a young age. I have 22 pamangkins (nieces and nephews). Two are now married. I am already a Granny (lola). My oldest pamangkin has a baby girl so that made me a Lola. Lol. J I am the youngest child, a spoiled one. I have whims and all but, as I grow up, I realized I have to change. I know my mistakes mga Ate, so do not pressure me and ask me why I do not want to settle down. I am single and free, so let us leave it like that. When I was in 4th Grade at Ibn Siena Integrated School Foundation (ISISF), I lost my elder sister. She was 14, a teenager and in Junior high school at Senator Ninoy Aquino College Foundation (SNACF). She was my childhood best friend, we were inseparable but when she hits puberty and enter high school I was with my ‘ka-edad’ na mga pamangkins. She died of an asthma attack. I was a straight A pupil. I can say that I am always in the sanctuary of books and always writing. I have been a writer all my life. I used to pretend I was teaching my pamangkins. (Rayray and Princess). I always baby sit. I know how to change diapers, make a milk, made babies burp and I sing the songs. My pamangkins have ‘yaya’ and their mom and dad are busy doing business. I was a child of business-minded couple. My dad was a police officer and while he was on service he travels the world, trading. My mom was orphan at a young age yet she was the smartest and strongest woman I know. I am always proud of her tenacity and ability to make money.
Twenty two (22) pamangkins. Ma Shaa Allah.

So, tell me. What more could you look for? They always saw me with lots of CASH in my wallet even if I only have 20 pesos. HAHAHA J What are the benefits? Ang dami kong kakampi if may mang-aaway sakin. Pero minsan dahil sanay na silang bigyan ng pera kada utos mo may bayad. Kainis. Sometimes they bully me, "Tita Aina, amaiko kawingn ka na escort ako." , "Mala i tamok si Tita Aina". "200 na gilubaan akn so cellphone ka."
They are afraid of me though, but sometimes they fight back because they think they know everything. *sighs* Dear babies, I have been your babysitters. You're still a kid to me.
But I love them anyway. They provide happiness and laughter in my life. <3
