Little Big Brother, Little Big Sister

My little brother's arriving on Friday.

Oh. Wait. Did I just say little? He towers over me now, even when I'm in high heels. I can still remember the times when he was just a wimpy little crybaby I watched over and played with. I remember being called to the kindergarten room the day he... Ooops. I almost slipped. That's a top secret. He'll kill me if I publish embarrassing stories. :p

Oh, I just remembered something. This happened when he was in kindergarten, I think.

Papa: Unsa imo kuhaon nga kurso ig dako nimo, dong?
Excel: Kanang naa sa bangko, pa.
Papa: Aw. Manager? Maayo na xa.
Excel: Di pa. Kanang magtindog sa pultahan.

Hahahahahahahhaha. That's my little brother. While kids his age were dreaming of becoming Superman and Power Rangers someday, he dreamed of becoming a Security Guard. At least he's realistic.

I guess it's safe to say he has outgrown his childhood dream since he's taking up Respiratory Therapy. And if he doesn't get tired of studying, he might even go into Medicine later on.

My little sister, who also happens to be a few inches taller than I am, will be taking the Nursing Licensure Exam in a few more weeks. When we were little, I remember her telling mama she's going to be a nurse by day and a bus driver at night. Hahahahha. And in addition to becoming a bus driver, she was thinking of converting her bus to a mini-carenderia at the same time. Talk about ingenuity!

She'll achieve half her dream very soon. I wonder if she'll push through with the bus driver career. She's thinking of taking up Culinary or Interior Designing though so maybe the bus driving thing will have to come later.

Our childhood days are over. We're all growing up. The days of fighting over toys and the "pan" mama brings home after work are memories now. *sigh*

Oh, wait. Not really. We still fight over food a lot. And we fight over the internet. And household chores. And every little thing we can think of fighting over.

It may not be obvious, but we're actually pretty close to each other. Yes, we fight a lot. But that's because we love each other. (Eeeew) I think. Hahahahha.

And now I'm going to stop being sentimental over my siblings. Because my brother and I will be roommates in a few more days and that means we'll be squabbling on a daily basis. And when we move into our new house around October, my sister will move in with us and that means the beginning of World War III.

Can hardly wait. This is going to be so much fun.
