Dancing Like We're 22
(Happy birthday, Ate Renee!)

| Hi Ach! Couple DP :) |
First of all, I'm sorry it took days before I was able to write this. Blame the mosquito who bit me, causing dengue to ruin the week. I couldn't even touch the laptop, but I'm feeling better now. My platelets are overflowing and therefore, I can now write this.
Belated Happy Birthday, Ach! Honestly, I've planned to write a blog about you weeks before your birthday but then, like I said, I got attacked by mosquitoes. :( But even before that, I was thinking what I'd write since you're basically one of the most complicated persons I've met (alam mo yan). I've known you for years now and I never expected I'd be present for your 22nd birthday party (gah, tunders).
When my mom told me that she planned on transferring me under your care, I was like: "Her? Really? But she's so...stiff." I mean, you were the last of the Ngan siblings to actually say 'Hi' to me and you rarely smiled so you could say I wasn't exactly thrilled to transfer. But I did anyway cause God said thou shall obey they parents.
So, I transferred. Then I found out that there was just four of us (You, Me, Kiana and Doc). I still can't forget that time you made me walk from your house all the way to the farthest Charbroiled restaurant and you kept insisting, "Malapit lang yun, siobe." And I'm like: "0_0." You know the rest of the story na, ach: I stayed, I transferred dgroups. I still can't forget that look on your face when I transferred back to my old dgroup during Trip. It haunts me till now.
But if I recount our whole history, it would take three more blog entries, so I'mma stop here. (BTW, while I type, UDD's Oo is playing so... haha!)
Thanks for everything Ach! You've been a big part of my life ever since I transferred back to your dgroup. If I were asked to list down women who reflect the girl described in Proverbs 31, I would sincerely write your name. You're not yet there but you're halfway. I've never met anyone who can keep their composure and automatically remind themselves of the right thing to do. Your presence of mind is admirable- I wish I could have it too. You know how emotional I can be. :)
You're like the big sister I never had. Thanks for letting me call you 'Atch' and for calling me 'Siobe' because it gives me the Chinese siblings feel, which I love. I can say that you're legitly like a big sister to me because we've had our share of ups and downs. You were there when I was at my best and you were also there when I was at my worst. We've had our disagreements and I regret becoming overemotional during such moments. Salamat sa pag-restrain :) Thanks for inspiring me to lead, too! God used you to show me the ways of discipleship. Who I am now as a dgroup leader, may part ka din! :D
Thanks for all the prayers and the advises you give. I take them seriously, promise! Thank you also for trusting me with your secrets and your stories. I enjoy hearing about your experiences a lot because I find your reactions them amusing and cute. Although there are times I find myself rolling my eyes or saying 'Aww, Ach naman kasi,' I'm still amused and don't worry, I care pa din! :) Sa sobrang care ko, I always have to make myself short in pictures lalo na pag katabi kita!
Now that you're 22, I pray that you'll keep on enjoying what you do. I know that academics can be a killer but just remind yourself it'll be worth it in the end. You'll be a vet in no time. And I'm sure that God will reward you according to your efforts. Just keep your eyes on Him. Say no to distractions! Di ka naman namin uunahan, Ach =) Don't lose hope on the love life thing. Not now lang but I really believe you'll get married someday! I support because I believe you're not meant for blessed singleness! <3 Namimiss ko tuloy yung betting days.... (sigh). Kaya ipa-giba mo na yung mansion na yun, kasi you won't be living in it.
Thank you for being you, Ach. Although you and I don't see eye to eye on some things, I really am glad that you're here in my life. Hope to share many more laughter, tears and stories with you. Sana, flower girl ako sa kasal mo ha? Please don't forget! I pray that you will grow deeper in your relationship with God and that you will reach the Proverbs 31 woman someday.
Lastly, I don't care when you tell me you're not pretty. You're a beautiful woman inside and out, don't you forget about that. Don't let any man or woman tell you otherwise.
I love you, Ach! Belated happy birthday! Just keep on dancing cause you're 22 (okay, wag ka na lang sumayaw. Baka ma-windang kami. Hihi)
Love,
Siobe
