MY HERO...

We only see superheroes at movies, comics, or television. Fictional.

And I bet, we all have a silent dream of becoming one.

Super powers, fighting crime, saving people. It was all a cycle; So common. Yet it never failed to entertain us.

We ought to want what we don't have. Their estranged abilities lures our curiosity, envy, and awe. 

And let's face it, you guys thought that superheroes are not real.

Tell me to grow-up but I do believe in superheroes. 

And to give you proof, i'll tell you the story that made my belief stay that way throughout these years of my existence.


April 13,1971 in a hospital in Manila where the battle cries of women giving birth are heard, a human baby girl named Maria Glenda P. Rosanes was born. She was the offspring of  Corazon P. Rosanes who was that of an educated pharmacist and Rellie Rosanes, a well-known mechanical engineer and owner of the only pharamacy built in the small town of Ternate. Little does this baby girl know her legacy. Nor did everyone. 

As a child, she was described as cheerful, bright, and charming by many. She never ended a day without affecting people who surrounds her with happiness. Many obstacles have come her way as time passes by but she fought through it and overcame it. Not until one day...

When sparks flew all over the place, it feels like something was up in the atmosphere, and a slow-mo phase of motion was set... the time when she met her future husband named Arnel L. Gutierrez.

To get the adventure going, let's say that my hero's love life wasn't that immediate and mutual.
My hero, is popular at their town (ternate) in her time because of her traits. She is confident ,witty ,patient and she has a sweet and heart warming smile which attracted many people her age.  She also wants to be free and enjoy life which opposes Arnel's status. He was not-so-popular and is often misunderstood because of his great skills. In which this proves that he is the REALLY the exact polar opposite of my mother. He is very timid and shy but he is a man of action and ambition. He wants everything in place as he planned it to be. 

Arnel was the first the first one who fell into the likes of my hero. It was love at first sight. Just like a fantasy; impossible. There was no assurance of him staying. But he has a thing that stands out from the others...his unbelievable persistence and willingness. Surprisingly, their relationship was more like a bud of rose that slowly sprouts and blossoms into something...wonderful. After 14 years of courtship, he made Maria Glenda say yes. Maybe opposites really attract after all. Of course being a hero doesn't always mean that you're always happy... there came this new obstacle...a new stage... it was parenthood.

Long after Glenda and Arnel was married. This beautiful baby was born and her name was Agnes Gwyneth R. Gutierrez (which is basically me). My mother struggled through those years, finding out the best things to comfort me as possible. To simply give me the best in which she never failed. Whenever I scrunch up my face when I get bruises and scars my mom comes to the rescue and made me feel alot better. She loves to see my smile, not my demise. She was always there right by my side and puts me first even than herself. She's too generous, kind, loving, and funny. It's a little cliche' to say but, she is the best mother for me. The best hero. Ready to sacrifice everything just for my good welfare.
