THE DRAMA SHOW presents a story about a child who is not the biological creation of her mom. One day, the mother cleans the side table and when she opens the drawer to dust off the frames and the photo albums, she finds a letter. The letter says that the daughter has found that she is adopted.
What if I were adopted?
I would probably GOOGLE my parents' names--wait, that is what actress-model Angelica Panganiban did. I would probably, like, ask my adopted parents about the history of the adoption. Scary scene, eh? Just imagine the dialogue: "Pa, unsay mga ngalan sa akong tinuod na mama og papa?" (ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS: "Dad, what are the names of my real mother and father?").
All day, I would just busy myself of ,like, piecing out the puzzle bits about my obscure and delicate past: mom's age when she conceived me as well as my dad's; their respective provenance; be awed by their family trees and so-called "love story slash giving me away story."
Adopted but loved and enlightened and... with healthy closure. Then I would resume my papaya eating time! Facebooking everyone. And sleep.
