Jullianne Marj Balaod

Davao City

I'm Jullianne Marj M. Balaod, my friends call me " July " . 18 years of age.

My beginning as a legally recognized individual occurred on July 1, 1995 in Lying Inn, an inn that still exists in the downtown Davao City. Of course I can't consciously remember anything from the first two or three years of my life after birth. But facts are available as my parents and relatives told me how I behave when i was a baby.

My father, originally named Agripino C. Balaod Jr., but called Jun, was a Civil Engineer and had come to Saudi Arabia to work as a foreman for a company there till now. He was a Civil Engineer and consequently had not been in actual front lines of his course. He was originally from Bolton, Davao City and had obtained his B.S. degree in civil engineering from the Univeristy of Mindanao.

My mother, originally Marilou M. Balaod, but called Malou, was born in Davao City. She had studied at Matina National High School and graduated before her marriage.

I have two brothers, namely, Jenno Mark and Jesse Marc. And I have one sister, Janna Marie.

Life to me means friends and family who you can trust and who trusts you. I am pretty much on the happy side of life, but like all teens I do I have my "daysof." That means I do have some sad days or depressed days. I have a few friends here that sort of look out for me and when I am having a bad day, I have someone here at school to talk to. I make my school days go by thinking of either the next hour or what I will do when I get home or on the weekend. I'm not seeing anyone now, really!
