Earlier, my sister called to confirm our location of celebration. Unfortunately, my younger brother didn`t want to go out because he said his body hurts due to playing sports the other day. After several convincing, he decided to just go out. It`s always nice to have bonding moments outside our home. We were supposed to go to Kamay Kainan, an eat-all-you-can place but we all decided to just go to the good old Max`s Restaurant.
My older sister, Kathleen "Athle", has been a good role model for me and my younger brother. She supported us in many ways. We miss and love her. Today`s celebration is not only a commemoration of the wonderful gift God has presented us, but also the celebration of my sister`s beautiful years with us.
Surprisingly, the package she sent us arrived today. It contained our basic necessities.
Earlier, my brother also convinced me to buy the Ferrero Rocher chocolates because he had a throwback moment then I mentioned that there was a buy 1 take 1 sale for this. I didn`t want to buy it because I don`t think I needed it but we ended up buying it because my brother was feeling sentimental since he defended that it has been a long time since we ate Ferrero Rocher. But for good times` sake, I let him buy the chocolates. We got a good deal though since it was only Php 565 for both boxes.
Also, as I was looking through photo albums, I recognized a familiar handwriting. It was an old penmanship of mine when I was a young child. And it has a very childlike description of a missing photo. It says "More teddy bears, More toys, More Fun, smile". It was so nice every time some seemingly insignificant thing becomes so precious because of the memories that fills the empty spaces in the capacity to remember the older days. The moments I had before as a child was represented by this simple remembrance.

This day`s full of blessings. Despite small disagreements and misunderstandings with my family, we still managed to get along well. Although this day`s more unusual than most of my days. I`m happy because I was able to spend time with my family. It was also a great day because my sister was able to complete another year. I am very grateful to have a sister like her.
Everyday`s full of events we might not have foreseen, but the important thing is we make the most out of every thing in our lives. Live, laugh and love. Life`s beautiful when you see it that way.
