Merci

I don't know where and how to start this speech showing my fullest gratitude for each and everyone, so before anything else... THANKS TO ALL OF YOU for being too retentive to remember my birthday.

Cant believe I reached 20. Few years ago, some doctors said I only have little remaining months and I will be a "teenangel" soon. So they were wrong, if I die tonight... my age is 20 and not a teen anymore. Very honored and thankful to God for giving the greatest gift I could ever have. Thank You... all glory goes to You.

Of course no birthday bash without my family. It was all their effort! My sisters planned and organized, brothers set the bill. Mom for preparation and Dad for surprises. Cousins for entertainment. Most of all, my ever dearest grandparents made it all possible. They made the "time", as if 14th of December is a holiday. I really could not ask for more.

And a party could not be a party without all of you. Thanks for coming and I hope you guys enjoyed, if not... let me now, not going to invite you next time. =)

Cool guys from Sutton, thanks for bringing your noise and made the entire party alive. Matt and Co. including all the people from accounting class A. THANK YOU! May all of you pass the course. Haha. See ya in Univ.

Faculty, staffs and employees... thanks for the wonderful remarks. Will miss ya!

Colleagues from France, je suis très heureux de vous voir. Merci du plus profond de mon coeur. Au revoir!

All the people from Britain. Thank you. Do I need to mention all? Just a huge thanks for everyone in and outside of the office.

My friends from LA... Shane, Debby, Marcus and John T. also those who were not here last night, it's okay. I miss you all. Still looking forward to grab some chance to get in touch again. Thank you.

Sa lahat din ng dumayo pa dito, para namang napaka-importante kong tao. SALAMAT sa mga kaibigan kong Pinoy. Mabuhay! Kapag nakikita ko kayo, lalo lang akong nalulungkot. Haha. Pero maraming salamat talaga.

Sa mga hindi naman nakapunta, okay lang... hindi rin naman ako makapunta diyan eh. Haha. Fair enough. Greetings from your hearts did it all. Salamat.

Blog post from Beb, thank you... You did that on paint, I did the tree on doodle... so you see the difference? Your drawing looked much better but in reality, I can draw best. :P Haha. Thank you... that was so sweet and of course, I still love you too. =)

Thanks everyone. Merci du plus profond de mon coeur.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

See you again next time. TOAST!

Re: Super Sisters

There's an error on my last post, Super Sisters. I mistakenly typed "here" instead of "hear." Haha. I was totally out of my mind that time... I was answering auditing problems while posting, so didn't notice. Yex just called to inform me about the simple error who only needs common sense of a reader. Obviously, I don't own a phone... he called ate R's number and laladidada, he told the whole story.

He even gave my url to her and tadaaahhh... I saw my sister reading that post. And surprise!!!!! she cried. Touched, perhaps.

After an hour, she texted ate Ian to inform and say what's up with my one and only outlet. So there you go... ate Ian called at home and blabber blabber.

"Anong drama naman meron sa blog mo? Yan pala yung nakikita kong pinagkakaabalahan mo."
Speechless.
"Oi! bakit hindi ka nagsasalita diyan?"
Speechless. Say hi to my severe shyness syndrome.
"Haha. nahihiya ka no? nahihiya ka sa kalokohan mo... 'wag ka ng maarte. I love you too, bro. yikee... sweet ko talaga."

Finally I answered "wwwrrrr stop it! I'm not asking for a feedback."
"ang arte mo! but seriously, you didn't fail as a brother. proud kaya ako sa 'yo... yihee iiyak na 'ko nito. haha..."
Speechless again.

"honestly na-touch ako, kami ni Reich... naiyak nga si Reich eh."
"saw her"
"really? oh tignan mo, ganun ka namin ka love..." she stopped for a while.

"hey! why did you stop?"
No reply
"you're crying too.... aren't you? kayo tong maarte! sige na tama na... babye na nga."

"No." she answered "wag mo ibaba, kokotongan kita..." her voice's shaking "naiiyak ako eh bakit ba? eh totoo naman kasi eh, hindi ka naman nag-fail no. you really don't have to say sorry... *cry cry* "


I was so speechless. I waited for her words.

" *sigh* sige na, sorry... sorry talaga kung feeling mo failure ka that's so absurd for someone like you. sige na, babye na."

Then I answered " 'wag ka na umiyak. babye!"

*phone shuts*

Super Sisters

I thought it's just an ordinary occurrence to have a sister or a girl in the family except for the mom since I have two sisters, I don't really think that there is something special... so what? My buddy, Jeremy used to envy me for having two sisters for they were all boys. He keeps on saying "how I wish we have one" so I inured to oppose "there's nothing really good for having one. They will just ask you for everything out of their businesses."

True enough. They will not leave you without saying a word.

Sometimes they will ask if you want something or anything you need. I don't know if that was just their strategy so that we could talk for them to know some tiny chismis about what's new to me, regarding girls in particular. At first, it was so irritating to the extent of locking my door whenever I hear their footsteps and hit my music player to the full volume intended not to hear them.

Talking to my sisters isn't one of my habits and for me it's not really healthy- not a big help. I always thought they wouldn't understand because they're also a girl, they'll just remain on girls' side. I'm not saying that my brothers were such a big help... well maybe, for giving me such amount... so I can go anywhere and have fun, why not a big help?

But for something that's so deep and you can't burst it to anyone because you think/know that they'll just look at you and say "it's ok, all is fine" that's the time you need your sister/s.

I've never thought how lucky I am to have my two little noisy angels since last December incident. Now I pretty much understand Jeremy for envying me. Before, I was so thankful to have them for the helps, now... I really couldn't ask for more. I cannot envisage that this time would come and it feels so comfortable to see them around... eavesdropping- whenever I have calls, peeking- when I'm in front of my lappy, dialing my friends' digits (since I don't have cp) if it's 10:00 pm and I'm still outside not informing them.

You see, I thought the only woman that would care for me like that, unconditionally is my mom... so now I stand corrected.

Last time, I had to stay at the office 'til 11:00 pm due to mmmaaannnyyy unfinished works so I didn't bother to call at home for I'm in a safe place. The result?

Matt received 2 phone calls from Ate I, Ate R.
Pau received 3 phone calls from Mom, Ate R, Ate I.
MJ received 4 phone calls from Mom, Ate R, Ate R again, Ate I.

All with the same questions.... "are you with him?"

Fortunately, the three of them knew where to find me. I got mom's call and then after 3 minutes, Ate I's call and another 3 minutes for Ate R's call. Mom reminded me to take a break and rest and she could ask Brav to help me but I insisted. Just a normal conversation for mom but these two perky sisters of mine were so oa.

Ate Reich's on the line...

Ate R: hey it's too late... you still have plenty of time tomorrow. Go home now.
Me: As soon as I'm done
Ate R: just continue that tomorrow and go home now, please? I beg you.
Me: alright.
Ate R: I'll wait for you, babye!

Ate Ian's on the line...

Ate I: what time is it?
Me: 11:20
Ate I: bravo! anong feeling mo nasa pinas ka na? umuwi ka na!
Me: i'll just fin---
Ate I: uwi na sabi eh gugulpihin kita kapag hindi ka pa umuwi, ngayon na.
Me: you're so violent, ok in 30 mins.
Ate I: kokotongan kita Geo ah, sinabing ngayon na.
Me: sige na, sige na
Ate I: anong sige na, sige na... hanggat di mo sinasabing uuwi ka na, hindi ko 'to ibababa.
Me: uuwi na 'ko.
*phone shuts*


So I did go home. I'm afraid to both of them because I don't want to see them angry especially Ate Ian. She's soooo like kuya Rob. Female version of kuya Rob's attitude. You think nothing happened because of her over silent mouth and you cannot hear any sermons. But her silence will kill you and it takes a lot of time to reconcile. So no to indecisiveness, I packed up and drove fast.


I still have many things to share but this post is long enough for saying...
I LOVE MY SISTERS A LOT.

..and sorry for failing as a good brother sometimes.
