As I go over my hard copy portfolio, documents piled up. From birth certificate to death certificate. Chillax peeps, I can't post blog if I'm dead right. It was from my father. I didn't get my daughter's certificate. I don't feel any good with all those papers I saw. I have my birth certificate and it spelled my name Amy Kate Cruz Espiritu while Papa said to the midwife that my name should be spelled as Aimee Kate Cruz Espiritu this name was given to me by my godmother. Siena College of Taytay accepted me to enroll to their school using Aimee from kinder to grade 2. And on my 3rd grade I transferred to DaySpring Academy and graduated there bearing Aimee. I also graduated at Mapua Institute of Technology (high school) in Sta.Cruz Manila using Aimee. Then came to college level. They didn't allow me to enter on my first level using Aimee regardless that I graduated from high school to their school. I got affidavit of change name document. Still they didn't accept, their reason was if I will go abroad, I have no choice but to use Amy. If that will happen embassy won't accept affidavit of change name. I told them I won't go abroad just please allow me to use Aimee. My Mama said let them be. So I had no choice. To sum it up from kindergarten to high school my diploma spelled my name is Aimee Kate C. Espiritu while my college diploma spelled Amy Kate C. Espiritu.
I have Social Security System, Pag Ibig, Taxpayer Identification Number, Philhealth, Barangay Clearance, Police Clearance, Cedulas, National Bureau of Investigation Clearance, Student License(expired), etc. Marriage Certificate down to Certificate of No Marriage. What I love the most is B boy's baby document, birth certificate of Ayel and some of her baby documents.
We have a lot of documents to witness the story of our lives but the most important of them are the ones that was never told, was never written, was never recorded, and was never documented because it was embedded in our heart. Because our heart is the witness to all the heartaches and happiness we ever felt every second, every minute, every hour and every day of our life. Although sometimes our heart forget how it felt but it reminds our mind how it was. The good thing about it is all the things that happened in our lives was healed and will be healed in time. As they say time can heal all wounds. If your heart is writing a sad story as of the moment, don't worry time can forget about it.
