She Meets Life

I'd like to add that today was my sisters 36th birthday. waow!!! can you believe it? yes of course you can but i can't. She's the oldest and i'm the youngest. we are 15yrs apart. I love all my sisters to death. Since being the youngest, each sister touched me and continues to astonish me in many ways i can't explain.  Therefore i'd like to take my time to appreciate her (since it's her bday) amazing qualities. Being the eldest of the family, my sister was always burdened with taking care of her younger bros and sisters. She had it the hardest out of all of us. *sigh* She was always worried about her younger bros and sis. The small amount of allowance she got was spent on kitchen supplies or food. She never put herself first; it was always us. She was like our second mother. She bathed us, fed us, dressed us, taught us and more while my mother was out in the field working her ass off to afford all the amenities and luxuries in our life (it wasn't a...

third day into writing a blog and my excitement and anxiety slowy begins to fade. Is it because I have too much to say and somehow i can't find the ways to express my feelings...or is it because i don't have much going on in my life? I'll let you (my fellow readers) decide. Last night I got excited because I found out my roommate has a blog too. She became one of my, wait, my only follower or my fellow reader (as I like to call it).  It's not like I'm only writing to strangers, I have a little bit of stable feeling when I know who my readers are. So..going back to what i had said from my first blog post (Julie and Julia), the purpose of me starting a blog was to accomplish or referring to my title, finish what I start. In a way, I'm afraid to expose my goals because i have a tendency to break them if i don't keep'em to myself. so i guess this concludes the fact that i won't state my goals. i mean if you think about it, i did state that t...

Day two/last day in Santa Cruz I'm here to visit my sister but the "real" (whatever that is) purpose is to, not in a spy-way, investigate an "issue" that I've been dealing with for a while now. Every family has issues/dramas and if it's not dealt with....then things become artificial. What do I mean by that? Things like: avoiding each other, pretending to be happy, so on and so forth.. Anyways, since I am pretty close to my sister, I was able to bring myself the courage to "open up." Thankfully, I didn't get out hand and start bawling like a baby..I handled it very maturely (at least I think i did). After having some-what long conversation with sis and bro-in law about the "issue" I feel as if we've, metaphorically speaking, peeled our way to the next level of sister to sister relationship. This is in a good way, of course. As we slowly get to know each other more, we peel away the pungent and strong smell and make our way tow...

Earlier today I watched, with my spontaneous older sister, Julie and Julia at Santa Cruz. IF you guys haven't seen the movie or read the novel (based on true story FYI), go see it or read it. Anyway, you're probably thinking what does that movie have anything to do with blogging...well, the reason I started this blog was because of that movie. For those of you that is curious about the synopsis, here's a peek (but for those who'd rather watch it or read w/o any idea of the plot...i recommend you don't read this) : Julia Childs, a charming yet witty married woman, moves to Europe (Versaille to be exact) with her husband due to his work. Because she doesn't do much and is sort of "lost" except going wherever her husband goes, she comes up with an idea to make use of herself by taking cooking lessons. From there, her adventure begins. As for Julie (who's living in the present 2002), she admires and loves all of Juila's work. Julie decides t...
