My name is Marinnele de Ocampo. I am 17 years old and I am turning 18 this coming September 20. I was born in Malabon City, Manila but currently living in 1314 Lotus St. , Villa Luisa Homes, San Agustin III, Dasmarinas City, Cavite. My parents’ names are Raul and Elma de Ocampo. My dad is a seaman while my mom is housewife. I have two brothers, and two sisters as well. We are seven in our family. I started studying in Villa Luisa Learning Center when I was on preschool.
The school was just right next to our street and was too convenient for me. Anyways, I didn’t graduated with any award which probably means being near to your school will somehow affect your desire to participate in school (lol). When I was on elementary, my school, Dasmarinas Elementary School, was just 5-7 minutes away from our house (when you ride a tricycle). It is a public school and sure is big and lots of students are enrolled there.
Well, I graduated there with that “huwaran” award, which I don’t think is necessary since I was just a happy-go-lucky kid back then. Moving on, when I was in high school, I enrolled again to a public school where my Kuya is studying, Congressional National High School. In my first day as a high school student, what I first saw is the tarpaulins of students who graduated with honors that year. It was big and all I felt is that I wanted myself to have one and I promised myself that I will work for that. You will harvest what you sow,” this line has been justified by myself after a long hard work and graduating with honors (this part’s a bit brag, but at least read it hahahaah). I am now studying in Technological University on the Philippines- Manila, taking up Bachelor of Technology- Major in Civil Engineering Technology. Almost everyone’s telling me that this part’s going to be hell but I’d like to take it as a challenge for me to grow, learn, and be a better person. I am a very simple person with simple dreams, simple joys.
I am in love with the rain, for it creates sound that is relaxing and I always feel like it can draw you far distant from things you want to be away from. I also love green. Its color is relaxing, and any shade of this color reflects different/unique relaxing mood. I also felt that ‘kilig’ everytime I see a family together. I feel like they are giving me more reason to love other people and also respect my parents for their unconditional love and sacrifices for us. I don’t like good-for-nothing dramas/ nega people/ sardines/ color red.
I love carbonara (especially from e-meal). I do dance rather that singing. My favorite song is Yellow by Coldplay. I have much likes/dislikes but I might take forever typing down each. I don’t really know how to end this, but let me just tell you (anyone who will read this), that I am now living in life full of love, hope and strength because of God, my family and friends and all. There might be some difficulties with some things, but I truly believe that everything works for good.
