Pinasok ako ni Mama sa drawing class sa Greenhills. 

Pinasok din niya ako sa computer class sa SM. The computer shop was called Compucenter. From what I remember, I was too young to learn the computer lessons, but I got accepted anyway. Favorite part ko yung instructor: lagi niya akong nililibre maglaro ng games. Yung pinagaralan ko mahirap para sa akin, pero attend lang ako—good learning experience. 

Alala ko rin: nakasabay ko magaral si Dexter, yung anak ni Doris, kumare ni Mama at ninang ni Jovert. Puro games lang ang gusto niya.

Si Delia ang kumuha ng picture na nasa kaliwa (getting ready ako for computer class).

Mama never pressured me to do well in school or get "straight As." All she would ever say is "try your best." When I did poorly in math class, she would tell me mahirap yung math and she wasn't good at it either when she was a kid.

I remember at the beginning of each school year, she would take us shopping for back-to-school stuff. Later on, once I was in high school, she would get Jen to go with me, but Mama would always foot the bill. 

When I started at UBC, Mama bought me the messenger bag pictured on the right.

Even while I was in university, Mama kept giving me money to buy school supplies. She even continued to give me a monthly allowance and money for haircuts up until the month before I started my first real job at 24.
