Miss Tapia

I was a high school scholar for four years. My tuition and other miscellaneous fees were all shouldered by the Barcelisa Scholarship Program. Added bonus: I need not wait on long lines for enrollment. My Tita was an English teacher on that same school Talk about influence.

Mommy Zellie was one of the dreaded English teachers. Maybe it was because of her thin yet tall built, and the glasses that she wears; that the students call her Miss Tapia ((a character played by Mely Tagasa on TVJ’s sitcom entitled “Iskul Bukol”)) behind her back. Mommy was not only known as Miss Tapia look-a-like. She was also known to fight for the things which she believe is right.

She is very supportive to our family. My Mom always learn new cooking recipe from her and dad often receive the older-sister advices from her. Even though she is not that well-off financially, her benevolence doesn’t fail especially on special occasions.

Mommy Zel.. I love you and I’ll pray for you Get well soon.
