My Tuli Experience

One hot Sunday afternoon on May 23, my mom announced that my cousins Totoy and Harry were already circumcised. Totoy and Harry are my closest friends. Our age gap is only months and years. I thought if Totoy is younger than me and can endure the pain, then I could too. So I told my dad that I too shall do “it” the next day. When my dad heard it, he said “good ok”. I said it, so that when we go back to Bicol, I won’t be teased by Totoy and Harry. I was excited after I heard The news, but my excitement wore out when it was time to sleep because the next 15 hours, it’s OUCH TIME!!!
The next day we went to a hospital near SM Bicutan , and my mom told the nurse that I will be circumcised. The doctor came in the check-up room and checked my winky. When he saw it, he said it’s going to be more expensive because the outer skin is still attached to the tip of my winky, but I could still be circumcised. The doctor led us to the Emergency room. I saw the nurse prepare the tools that would be used during the circumcision. When I lay down on the small bed, I said to myself ”This is the last day of me being a little boy”. The first strike of the needle, I felt the unendurable pain. I called my parents to hold my hand. I calmed down when it was time to sew the wound. I felt the suture traveling through the wound as I wept. I was relieved when it was finished. It lasted 1 hour even though the doctor said it would only last for 20 minutes. It was successful though there was blood. I found out there was blood because of the doctor’s gloves. My dad paid the cashier 1,750 pesos for the circumcision. I thanked the doctor and my parents for the comfort.
I thank God for making it successful. I am confident that my cousins won’t tease me. When I and my family return to Bicol and I meet my cousins, I’m sure we will have a lot to talk about sharing our own Tuli Experiences.

Adventure with My Mom and My Brother



One day, my mom, my brother,and I went for a field trip. At first we were planning to go to Toa Payoh to return the books we borrowed to the library. First, we rode a bus and we thought that the driver is bringing us to Toa Payoh Mall.The driver took us back to Paya Lebar station instead of Toa Payoh Mall. We lost 2.56 Singapore dollars. We got down at Paya Lebar station and we just took the MRT. In the train, my mom and I kept talking about the bus driver that cheated us.
We reached Toa Payoh and we ate lunch at Burger King. We went to the library and we returned the books that we borrowed from Geylang library. We searched for CD's and we found books for my exam on March 27. After we finished going to the library,we rode the MRT going to Siemei.
My mom and I got to Siemei fast since the speed of the train was fast.We went down to the mall at Siemei and we bought Naruto collectibles. I bought stickers and a One Piece ez-link sticker.I was planning to buy Jonin shoes, but they didn't have any. We didn't see anything exciting at the first floor of the mall at Siemei, we went to the second floor but still we didn't see anything. I was getting hungry and thirsty after all the walk. Since we didn't get to see enough collectibles,we planned to go to Tampines and buy some Naruto collectibles.
We went to Tampines and we went to the mall near Tampines station. We went to the fourth floor and we found an anime shop named Urban Shop. I saw a shuriken that costs $3.95 Singapore dollars. I know it costs me an arm and a leg but I want it so badly. I bought it and lost $3.95Singapore dollars. I got hungry and my mom said that we would eat dinner at Kopitiam. We ordered food at a stall named "Filipino Cuisine". After eating dinner, we went home happily at Ciruit road and played with our newly bought toys. THE END

My Adventure with my Mom

I had a great time with my Mom when we had an adventure from Kallang, to Tanjong Pagar, to Tampines, and to Pasir Ris. First we went to Kallang to ask the officer on the third floor, if we could extend our stay in Singapore. The officer cautiosly said "No". My Mom understood it that we couldn't extend our stay in Singapore . We went down to the SMRT station for our next stop, Tanjong Pagar.
My Mom and I got to Tanjong Pagar at lunch time. My Mom bought us some Filipino food called "Bulalo". The bulalo was very yummy, I thanked my Mom for buying us that delicous bulalo. Since we didn't see anything interesting at Tanjong Pagar besides the mall in the Amara, we planned to go to Tampines. We went to the SMRT station to go to Tampines.
It was about five minutes to 12 until we reached the station of Tampines. I noticed a mall beside the station, I said to my Mom,"Hey Ma, there's a mall beside this station. Let's check it out." My Mom agreed and said,"Let's see if there's meat in their market ." My Mom and I went inside. We went to a department store and my Mom bought herself a jewelry that costs 10 dollars. We went up the mall to the third floor and I saw a comic shop. I went to the comicshop with my Mom and I saw an original kunai knife and a shuriken but it costs me an arm and a leg, the kunai knife costs 3. 75 dollars while the shuriken costs 4 dollars. Since it was expensive, we just went straight to Pasir Ris.
When we reached Pasir Ris station, a mall is at the side of the station too. My Mom and I went inside the mall. I also found a comic shop at the third floor too. We went in the comic shop and in the comic shop, I saw a kunai knife that costs 2.50 dollars only. I didn't see a shuriken in the comic shop. After buying two of the kunai knifes, we went straight to Circiut road and I slept like a baby that walked one kilometer in one day. THE END
