Gutom

Everyday after school, my Kuya goes off to his part time job. I always ask him if he can still do his assignments and study for his exams since he's already in Gr. 12. Soon, my dear Kuya will be graduating from high school. I asked him if he is excited that his high school days will be over and he will be moving on with his education. He told me that the reason he's working at his part time job every after school (and on weekends), is because he's saving the money he earns for us to spend in the Philippines. "Gusto ko mag enjoy tayo duon! Promise ko sayo hindi masasayang ang trip natin this time!", was what my Kuya said. With our cousin getting married this coming summer, things will be really exciting! I asked my Kuya if we are going to go to the Philippines after I graduate from high school. He told me, "syempre naman! All grown up na ang princess namin nyan eh!" I can't believe I have a sibling that's this sweet. Even though, I get pissed off at him at times when he's bugging me, I know he's done it out of lambing. I love my Kuya. He's almost like a second dad to me. Haha. Just kidding. He's more like a best friend that lives with me at home.

I remember one time when I got home tired from a basketball practice. It was around 8 pm so I started on my homework. I didn't even realize that I fell asleep until I woke up around 6 am. I panicked because I haven't finished my homework. When I looked on the desk, I didn't find it there. So, I looked in my bag and I found it. It was just shocking that my homework was finished and I recognized the writing. My Kuya did my homework for me! I immediately went to his room and woke him up with a hug. I said, "Thank you, Kuya!" "Nakatulog ka na kasi eh. Ayokong zero ka sa assignment nyo." That made my day.

I really don't have a Kuya. Or in this case, any siblings. I've been longing for a Kuya, but that's too impossible since I'm the first born. It would be really awesome if I had one. All I can do is imagine, right? I'm still blessed with Kuyas though! I have a lot of older boy cousins and I call them Kuya. In our family, I am the princess. I've always wondered why. The only explanation I could come up with is because I'm an only child in both of my parents' sides. But then, I found out that I have a Kuya cousin that's also an only child. So there's no definite explanation of why I am special to my family, except I just am.

This came about because I miss my cousins so much and I can't wait to see them again. We'll have so much fun together. We always do.

I got to have pictures with them when I get there. =)


The window was tinted I guess that's how the colour was produced as such.

Meg, Me, and Mon. This was the day I found out my Grandpa had passed away. I miss you Lolo.
