OMIGOSH!!! my mom actually told my brother about me having a tattoo!! and he said he's totally fine with it!! SWEET, SWEET LIFE!!! i admit i was a tad worried about how he'd react since he's really into his religion and stuff, but he's still really open minded and i'm glad about that. the last thing i need is to have a brother constantly trying to convert me into becoming a mormon or preaching at the dinner table. but he's GREAT!!!

ok, since i've dedicated a whole post to my bro, i'm gonna do one now for my sis. my sis is just 2 years older than me, but when we were younger, we were inseparable. everywhere my sister, i'll be sure to go. i'd even copy everything she does or eats. i learned to love mcd's cheeseburger because that's what she ordered everytime we eat there and i'll always, ALWAYS order the same thing. when we were young, us kids were really poor cuz we didn't have any pocket money then. so on special occasions, we'd make handmade cards for our parents. bro would make all these really creative cards with very meaningful, and sometimes hilarious messages written inside. me? i'd just copy whatever my sister did, every single detail. so when my parents each received their cards, there'd be duplicates in the stack and it's no mystery who was the copy cat. so, a few years later, my sister started copyrighting her designs and i was forced to design my own. though they were really cheesy ( i was still a little kid after all, give me a break), my mom said they were the best that i've ever done. aww...that's so nice of my mom, though she was supposed to say that to cheer me up, not make me miserable by stating how ugly it looked, which in reality, they were.

also, when my brother was busy reading, or listening to classical music while swaying his hands around like a conductor, or just hanging with his friends (he's 7 years older), my sister and i would have our own games to occupy ourselves. OUR games are nothing like the games we played with my brother, which were violent and usually ends with either one of us girls crying. when my brother was around, we'd be playing superman where we'd be jumping off the double decker beds with a blanket tied around our necks like a cape, or armour man, where my brother would wrap himself in a thin mattress and squash us with his huge body, or we'd wrestle. but when he's not around, our games are simple, pleasant and fun. we'd play teacher-teacher (no prize for guessing who the teacher is), or balloonminton( hitting a balloon around like badminton) or messing around with my mothers' makeup (we got in a lot of trouble for that but we never stopped).

i'm really gullible and would fall for anything. i really believed it when my kindergarten friend told me she lived in a jungle, or when my primary one friend said that you can make milk with pencil sharpenings, or the time when one of my friends said she took part in a competition where the person who could stare at the sun the longest wins. everyone flipping knows it's not possible to even look at the sun cuz it would damage your eyes, but not me!!! so, my sister totally knew how stupid i was. she'd hide herself really well and would not come out for at least 20 minutes. i'd be shouting for her but she wouldn't appear. when she did, she'd tell me she was a witch and she went through a portal to another universe and attended a witches meeting. she'd do this twice a week just for fun. come to think of it, who's the stupid one here? imagine going through all that, just to fool an ignorant little kid. but it doesn't stop there. my mom bought some new sofas and when the plastic wrappers were removed, there were still some left on the bottom of the sofa. when you peek underneath it, you could see shadows that look like little people. that's what my sister told me what is was, little people. and she'll say that they would come out at night and have parties and sometimes, my sister would join them. i actually believed her and even begged her to take me with her the next time she went. OH MY GAWD!!!!!
