Not Because SHE asked

It’s not her birthday. But maybe it’s because her new profile picture is the first one I saw in my news feed. (:D) It’s not because SHE asked me to do this (SHE no longer wants me to) yet I chose to do this.

SHE said that SHE didn’t want promises made to be broken. And people said a gift that has been asked spoils the act of giving. However, I say, the promise (of making a blog about her) is not broken (just delayed for a while by the one who made it :D) and in a few minutes (or hours) it would be fulfilled. And I say, a gift that is chosen to be given when no longer asked is a splendid, heart-felt gift.

The SHE and her I’m talking about, I can define with the best 10 snippets that I have known about HER after almost 2 years of being her favorite sister. :DD (I don’t know the risk I’m taking as I tell the world this truth, but the truth, I believe, will set our other sisters free!)

10. FOR HER TO BE FEATURED IN A “WORST OUTFIT” ARTICLE IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY.

            SHE is the fashion guru in class, the best costume department head that any play production could ever have and the head-turner “fashionista” wherever she goes. I’m still waiting for her fashion blog and I think I’ll be one of her numerous readers in the future. J           

9. SHE COULD LOOK INTIMADATING BUT I’LL TELL YOU THE CONTRARY

            Truth be told, I was intimidated the first time I met her. Maybe it was my “fragile personality” that made me feel that way, or it’s really everyone’s first impression about her. But ladies and gentlemen readers, I tell you, SHE is far from intimidating. SHE doesn’t brag when SHE has millions of reasons to. SHE doesn’t make one feel inferior when SHE is really larger, grander than the usual down-to-earth, easy-to-be-with friend that we know SHE is.

8.  TALK ABOUT OUR SIMILARITIES:

            I am ecstatic that I suddenly realized we have a lot of things in common!

LEARNING STYLE: SHE is a visual learner and sometimes field-dependent (but not even half of my field dependency I think)

REFLECTIVE: We are battling for the MOST REFLECTIVE AWARD in class. One way SHE proves herself worthy of the award is when she finishes last in an exam, or when SHE internalizes her report.

RARELY RECITES IN CLASS: Of the 40 hands inside the classroom, ours are the two pairs that are rarely raised.

RESERVED TYPE: I can tell that SHE is the reserved-type whenever we’re outside or with people we don’t know. SHE would be quiet and be annoyed with our classmates if they’re making loud noise.  And I think SHE also reserves her most serious and intimate talks to people closest to her heart.

BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE: We are sisters, we look like each other because we’re both God’s beautiful masterpiece.

           

7. TALK ABOUT OUR DIFFERENCES:

MY EVERYDAY DIALOGUE IS “Ate bigyan/hawaan mo naman ako ng kasipagan mo!” Sometimes I think I am industrious and responsible but whenever I hear what SHE has accomplished, it makes me think again.

K-POP ENTHUSIAST: SHE loves Korean artists, movies, tv shows, songs, food and all other Korean stuff probably. I will not forget that instance SHE told me that it occurred once that SHE only had Korean songs in her phone.

KIND OF TECHY SAVVY: This is related to her being a K-POP fan. I can say that SHE is kind of techy savvy since SHE is the ultimate torrent download supplier of her co-K-POP enthusiast and believe it or not, my wife (it’s a long story), Debie, whose demand SHE could not outrun.

            CHOLERIC AND OUTSPOKEN: When it’s natural for me to follow, SHE’s a born leader. When it’s hard for me to express things, SHE has the strength and prowess to directly and clearly speak her mind.

6. CAPITAL S-H-E

            SHE is probably one of those who are unconsciously building the feminism beliefs in me. I used capital S-H-E to emphasize her strength and independence as a woman, a daughter, an Ate and a friend. SHE seldom cries, but then, I think those are the times that I would rather want to be seldom.

5. I LOVE IT WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT HER FAMILY

            I really love hearing stories about her Mama and Papa and about her sisters who seem to be her BFFs. The beautiful family SHE has makes me think that fairy tale families are still possible even up to now.

4. AWAY FROM THE CAPITAL S-H-E

            Paulo Coehlo wrote in “The Alchemist”: “I’m a woman of the desert… But above all, I’m a woman.” And SHE too has a kryptonite. I think these are the people closest to her heart like friends, family or XY chromosomal creatures like… the code name in one of her status updates?! :DD

3. HER LOVE FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY, MG, and FRIENDSSSSSS

            I admire her so much for her generosity, care, thoughtfulness and LOOOVE for the people SHE treasures. SHE treats them like those with her own blood and it made me think that blood isn’t always thicker than water.

2. HER LOVE FOR GOD

            One of my cherished moments with her are those times when SHE talks to me about her conversations with and prayers to God. Usually SHE would have these lines: “sabi ko kay Lord..” or “sabi ko Looooooorrrrrdd” And I’m happy to hear and not only see about her love for Him. Happier even, for her new Bible, which was given to her by her sister last December as a birthday gift.

1. MY ATE LISA

            SHE doesn’t want me to call her Ate LISABEL or worse LISABEL alone. She is ATE LISA, my Ate Lisa. She’s my favorite Ate and I’m her favorite sister (though we told this to every other sister we have! Haha!) This MY ATE LISA from the perspective of her younger sister Abbie.

This is one of my favorite pictures of her :)

P.S.

I hope I killed you with the sweet words I wrote here. But wait, there’s more: I LOVE YOU ATE! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! *KISS* *HUG* :DDD

Proud to be the Fashion Queen's Sister :)
