    Sorry, I missed the 80s, because I was born on September 3, 1990 in Manila the Philippines, but I listened to the music about We Didn't Start the Fire performed by Billy Joel which was released in 1989.
    Before 2020, all of my relatives from Catanduanes and Quezon were arriving at home in Manila while we are speaking in Filipino.
    On December 24, 2015, that was Christmas Eve of 2015, the day before the Christmas Day of 2015, my aunt Tita Socorro and cousins Ate Marianne with my cousin's husband Kuya Rein, Kuya Igan, Ate Rose Ann with my cousin's husband Kuya Jan Jan, Jayson and Sonny with my nephew Jandy and my niece Mara arrived at home.
    On December 30, 2019, the day before the New Year's Eve of 2019, my aunt Tita Socorro and cousins Ate Marianne with my cousin's husband Kuya Rein, Kuya Igan with my aunt's daughter-in-law Ate Quenny, Ate Rose Ann with my cousin's husband Kuya Jan Jan, Jayson and Sonny with my nephews Jandy and Sam Roland and my nieces Mara, Jazzi, Lara and Jea arrived at home.
    On December 23, 2021, two days before the Christmas Day of 2021, my cousins, Ate Bebeng, Ate Marianne, Kuya Igan with my aunt's daughter-in-law Ate Quenny, Jayson and Sonny and my nephews Jandy and Sam Roland and my nieces Mara, Jazzi, Lara and Jea arrived at home, but my aunt, Tita Socorro didn't arrive at home in Manila due to COVID-19 pandemic.
    On December 30, 2022, the day before the New Year's Eve of 2022, my aunt, Tita Socorro, my cousins, Ate Bebeng, Ate Marianne, Kuya Igan with my aunt's daughter-in-law Ate Quenny, Jayson and Sonny and my nephews Jandy and Sam Roland and my nieces Mara, Lara and Jea arrived at home in Manila from Pandan, Catanduanes and General Nakar, Quezon are currently residing in Sampaloc city district, the capital city Manila and Navotas.
    On December 31, 2022, New Year's Eve of 2022, my cousins Ate Rose Ann together with my cousin's husband Kuya Jan Jan and my nephew Jandy and my niece Jazzi arrived at home and I would discover my own artificial cards combining fake and true in 2023.
    On January 21, 2023, my aunt, Tita Socorro, my cousins, Ate Bebeng, Ate Marianne, Jayson and Sonny and my nephews Jandy and Baby Reign and my nieces Mara, Jazzi, Lara and Jea arrived at home for my niece's birthday when Jazzi turned 7.
    In March 2023, we took our vacation in the province of Catanduanes because my mother's remains in Pandan Cemetery, we didn't find the song by using the Video 5 Videoke Sound System at my aunt's house and the other one at my uncle's house at Barangay Pandan del Norte and the other at Ate Lourdes' house within Tito Erning's territory at Salvacion, Pandan, Catanduanes. During our family reunion in April 2023, I didn't register to perform OPM songs and others. We went to the beach located at Barangay Oga, Pandan, Catanduanes to walk and run then swim. We went to my uncle's new house at St. John Village, Virac, Catanduanes to meet my brother, but I didn't find the song We Didn't Start the Fire performed by Billy Joel on RUclips together with my uncle Tito Romeo with my uncle's wife Tita Josie and cousins Ringring, RJ, Baby Om and Yani. After three months of our vacation in Catanduanes, we went back to Manila in June 2023, because my sister missed us.
    The last two months of 2023, I discovered artificial cards combining fake and true.
    On December 30, 2023, the day before the New Year's Eve of 2023, my aunt, Tita Socorro, my cousins, Ate Bebeng, Ate Marianne, Ate Rose Ann, Jayson and Sonny and my nephews Jandy and Baby Reign and my nieces Mara, Jazzi, Lara, Jea and Baby Jari arrived at home in Manila from Pandan, Catanduanes and General Nakar, Quezon are currently residing in Sampaloc, Manila and Navotas, but my father's sister Tita Sonia didn't arrive at home in Manila because she is one of the members of Jehovah's Witnesses, she has medical problems.
    I played with my relatives then I turned on that television to find four of my favorite TV channels, others are not and my sister asked me to wait for pizza delivery from Greenwich Pizza Vista Mall Las Piñas.
    I discovered artificial cards combining fake and true then I discovered 198 flags and I found selected companies listed at the Philippine Stock Exchange such as ABS-CBN Corporation with the 1963, 1967, 1986 and 1996 logos, SM Investments with the 2009 logo and SM Prime Holdings with the 2009 logo.
    Images of James Lindenburg, Antonio Quirino, Eugenio Lopez Sr., Fernando Lopez, Eugenio Lopez Jr. and Henry Sy.
    Before 2020, in Metro Manila, studios at ABS-CBN Compound such as ABS-CBN Corporation's radio stations DZMM-AM and DWRR-FM and television stations DWWX-TV and DWAC-TV and DWWX-TV DTV 16, there were 24 SM Supermalls branches, 3 SM Store branches, SM Supermarket branches, SM Hypermarket branches, Savemore Market branches under SM Markets were built, the past station ID's of ABS-CBN and 198 flags; under United Nations; 193 member states, 2 observer states, 3 recognized states, 54 dependencies and territories and 9 unrecognized states and other competitors of the United Nations and I took noise barrage.
