My Crib

MJ TENCHAVEZ


I was born on the first of July 1987 Year of the Rabbit. Grew up in a small town of Davao City, living with a simple life together with my Aunt and my grand parents.

I was only 6 months old then when I lived out of my parents loving arms. I am the eldest of the family. I have 2 lovely sisters and 3 hardheaded wise handsome brothers. Unfortunately I didn't grew up together with them. I grew up like the Only brat child in the presence of my Santa Claus like Grand Parents. They provided me everything I ever needed. I could always get whatever I want. love,attention and toys just like a typical kid's loved to have.
My Family (My Sister Kate is Unfortunately not here)

My first bestfriend was my Grand father, he was my caring protector and my strict disciplinarian. I could still remember those times when I couldn't live without him, It always scares the hell out of me whenever he's out of my sight. I was his brat Princess.


When I was small, he always gave me anything I wanted. He's like a Genie in the bottle who grants me all my wishes. He also gave me a lot of chances whenever I commit mistakes but when I get those chances finished. I'm DEAD!dila ray walay labud. haha. That's one of the scariest minute of my life when I found him mad at me and guess what? Kay sipat man ko, pirmi ra jud ko PAKA! hehe. then after he hit me, he would come sweetly along and asked flat-out corny, downright mushy questions such as: "hmm, KINSAY NABUNALAN? KAY NGANONG NABUNALAN? UNYA MUUSAB PA?" lol. those are the words from him that made me a better person. He was the first person who made me understand what is right or wrong.


His kisses is my pain reliever whenever I feel something aching, his music was my melody during my sleepless nights. he's not just my mentor in ABCD's but also my mentor who teaches me how to share my toys, to love my friends and even my enemies and to give respect to the elders and that's required. ^__^

Those are the qualities and lessons I could never forget about him.

As I grew up,I met a lot of failures in life, it might be devastating but in returned I've learned a lot from them. 

Amidst of my imperfection, God has given me a gifted creative hands, I am skilled in drawing and anything about art. I can turn rubbish into a masterpiece, I write a song and play music.I Appreciate arts in photography and film.

During my Childhood, I wanted to become a Pilot. That's my wildest dream as a kid.I used to collect Airplanes, I had fallen in loved with them. they are the apple of my eyes during those days.


When I graduated in High School, I decide to take Aeronautics and be a Pilot just like my dream. I was so excited when I took an exam in MATS College and luckily passed the written examination but then it tore me into pieces when they told me that I was disqualified due to my height. shocks! My jaw dropped when I've heard the insane silly reason why I couldn't go on Aeronautics.





I was only "5 Flat then when the passing height was 5'2. awtzz..dos nalang unta!urggg.. that was my first frustration, I was really disparate.  bata paku gusto na jud nku mahimong piloto miski piloto lang sa eroplano na ga spray sa sagingan. hahaha. so bad, I was not gifted with height. mag piloto nalang jud ko sa LUBI ani. (lol) :p That was not really meant for me.

Three months had passed before I fixed my mind after my horrible brain storming and I decided to took up Bachelor of Arts Mass Communication. In the middle of my course I had discovered my passion into the arts of film making I had directed two experimental Indi Films during my college "I guess this one was now really meant for me". I love what I am doing. 






Deep in our hearts we each have an intense desire to be loved. yet just as deeply, we know no one else really understand us, and that we are separated from those around us by differences we dont fully comprehend. the "Family man" we long to share and belong to does not exist. we are just a bunch of desperate, lonely orphans. we would give anything to know how to be lovable.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

I live life just the way I could make it. Simple and colorful. My greatest teacher was my mistakes. (It makes me human) love for me is what makes the world go around. and to love is the most wonderful feeling you can ever experience. The hardest battle for me is when u fight with yourself.  I am me, we share the basic thing in life--we can think..I am imperfect just like everyone else.. 

Philosophy :  

The greatest thing I've learned in life...is that I still have a lot to learn!! ;~))

Live the life you want to live, be the person you want them to remember, make decisions, make mistakes. And if you fall, at least you tried...
