~ SOMETIMES WE STRIVE SO HARD FOR PERFECTION THAT

WE FORGET THAT IMPERFECTION IS HAPPINESS

우리 가족 Paasa-Sasam

My family???

Well, actually we love each other though we don’t show it , we know deep in our hearts that we love each other.(palag?!)

My dad’s dentist and my mom’s a midwife. My half brother’s an army. My brother’s a nurse-slash-med student and my sister’s a ..alright I don’t know. Basta she’s working at red cross and she’s studying at UP for her masters. Cool eh? Naaah..

PAPA,APPA,BABA(jimmy)

He’s so annoying and corny and irritating and funny and cool .

He’s sooooo strict.

Everytime he’s drunk,he keeps on talking and talking and talking and talking.

He gets angry easily.

Don’t forget the baby-treatment.(though I love it---SOMETIMES)

FARTS

I will never miss those funny moments we spent together and those times when he takes my side and not my kuya’s..(evil laugh insert here)

Well, how do I show I love him? By saying “I love you” as often as I could and doing what he wants me to do.

A child that doesn’t follow her parents is a bad child ---- got that from him!

MAMA,UMMA,MOER (alice)

NO PICS..she doesn’t like taking pics..

She’ so hard headed.

She favors my brother always. Like duh.

When she’s angry, no one or nothing can stop her mouth.

I will miss her advices and those sufferings she did during those horrible moments . And her tears when she’s watching a sad drama. And her cries which represents her suffering and pains( that I rarely saw )

Well, helping her out is my method of letting her know that she means the whole world to me. Saying I love her is my daily routine so I guess there’s no need for me to deny it.

“Your happiness is where your heart is “ and “ Your dad does his best for your best” ---- got that from her.

ATE,UNNI,SIS (aiza)

She gets angry easily.(like father like sister like me)

When I was young ,she bits me everywhere.

She calls me while doing her thing in the CR.( Even reads)

She’s corny. Well, at least better than me.

I ‘ll miss everything! When she was still living with us, she always has something for me every time she comes home. She’s like my mom and helps me with my assignments and takes care of me – always. And protects me from my brother’s wrath!

Before we end a call, I always tell her how much I love and miss her and I do all the chores and I clean my room – since she’s a clean freak.

KUYA,OPPA,BRU (hahaha) (ian)

He’s soooooooooooo annoying!!!

He keeps on asking what’s the latest news!!!

He’s moody. PMS

He enjoys seeing me suffer and he loves our dog more than me. Yeah right.

I will miss the times when he’ll calls out my name every time he arrives. And the way he pleads! And the way he calls me jobabs (joke). And those story telling! And the way he answers a phone call from his girlfriend and those “pa-cute” moments.

I hug him. I do! And I follow all he’s instructions from making sure that our maid cooks veggies to allowing no one to sleep in his bed while he’s away. Now I’ll ask you, isn’t that an act of love??

Another 1!!!my kuya..gets?

Well, we’re not that close but I can’t stop my self from giggling every time I remember the time when he said that I should not be involved with any boy-girl relationship. Wondering why? Its because I never ever expected him to say those words to me. He’s not in the country right now and we never saw each other in person but yes , I love him.

I hate them, then I love them. I guess that’s what family is. ahahaha!!!

Lemme share a quote………

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.”  ~Jane Howard

P.S:::: Hate your family folks but love them more.!
