SISTER FROM THE SAME MISTER

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my super gorgeous and lovely sister from the same mister...

Mae Laurence :)

It's her birthday today! Would you believe she's already 23??? Haha. Mas babyface pa siya kesa akin.

Let me share to you things about my sizzy...

I couldn't be more blessed to have a sister like her. She's one of my first playmates. Childhood was memorable and happy because she's part of it. I remember we used to imagine na si Richard at Lucy parents niya and sa akin si Zsa-Zsa at si Dolphy. She's pink, I am yellow. She's the doctor, I am the nurse. And I remember mas takot pa ako sa Ate ko kesa sa nanay namin because she was always the "disciplinarian". Isang tiger eye niya lang, takot na ako. It was really fun growing up with her. (But come to think of it, we really didn't grow up.)

We like the same things, songs, blogs, and even people to talk about. Haha. She's the jolliest and most sanguine person I know. She's always a happy and funny thought. She never runs out of jokes na always havey. (Minsan nga mga punchline ko, galing sa kanya). Whenever we are under a family crisis, she always remain positive and never the worrier type. She turns things into comical instead and just make us laugh. She's strong and always ready to take her position as the "Ate" especially after our Daddy died.

But what I really look up to her is her ability with people and how she maintains friendship with them. I remember once naglalakad kami sa mall, she was back after a job stint from Butuan, and she bumped into four people all of whom she hugged and shared a laugh with. 

To you Ate Mae (hoy bakla...haha)... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Thank you for everything. I miss you so much. All our chikka and skemfet.

I love you. 

We love you.

Enjoy your day.Nan.

12 GOING ON 20

I turned 20 yesterday! Haha. 

I remember my cousin told me once that: "Birthdays are for the too young and for the too old. If you're in between, don't make too much fuss out of it." So, I celebrated simply. Mom and I lighted candles at the church. Afterwards, we bought flowers for Lolo Lino (maternal grandfather) at the cemetery since we share the same birthday. Then, we had a simple late lunch with family. By night time, I treated my lovely friends dinner at a cute fancy cafe (pictured above). Thanks to my sister and brother for being my sponsor! Haha.

In a cheesy and corny side of life, I'd just like to share this touching birthday message from my highschool bestfriend: (Sa mga nangangailangan ng speech pang debut or birthday diyan, you can copy paste this. Haha)

"Tummy, happy happy 20th birthday. There's nothing really much more to say about you and our friendship because time and distance have defined it for us. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being Tweet. And now that you're 20, I pray to God to give you wisdom that you may be the wisest in all your decisions, and that if you fail, you'd still be wise enough to know where you should be heading. 

May life's experiences sharpen and nurture you to the fullest. I'm forever right here beside you. It's 'beside' because I'll walk with you in all of your endeavors. I love you. Please send Tita (your mom) my regards. Tell her I thank her for bringing you into this world and that I salute her for raising you into a such kind-hearted person. God bless you and our friendship.  (*Insert cheesy stuffs here*)"

NOTE: My nickname is "Tweetums" (don't even ask) that's why it's addressed for "Tummy" ;)

Birthday outfit post soon!
