Happy Birthday Ate!

Women treat long-time friends like sisters.  And I’m just lucky that I have a sister that I know will be my friend for a lifetime. Either she loves me eternally or she’s just unfortunate that we came from the same womb. Haha.

I have two older sisters – Melody and Alexis. Yes, our Dad is really good when it comes to giving baby names. And its my Ate Kokie ( her cutie nickname)’s birthday today. She’s far from us – in the burning desert and we miss her already

Alexis..one of the most beautiful names in the world. Just like her.

She is the epitome of a “sister”.  I owe everything to her (and the rest of the family). She sent me to college and adopted me in Japan – I can’t find other words to say it but she is the best. Even if she “traumatized” my childhood with endless teasing to everyday hair pulling dramas. But it’s part of her being “Little Ms Riding Hood”, her childhood favorite. Even then, she is jolly and yeah, she loves me even back then.

She’s the one with the quirkiest pose along with  Jessie J‘s bangs. haha!

Back then she is that loving girl..I’m the one in pink with my ate hugging me. But look at that mischievous smirk! haha. Yeah, she was just taking a break from her favorite childhood pastime- making me cry.

Then she became my “Belle” when we started liking things from Irish boybands to local boys during teenage years though it is just sad that I started to look like her ate. haha!

Motherhood made us closer and it made her more beautiful. When she became a wife, she simply radiates.

Two Snowwhites for her and two curly  dwarves for me. hahahaaha!!

Her lovely family..

Happy birthday sister dearest..I love you! mwah!
