Day 1 - Letter for your Bestfriend

Dear Joyce Lyn,

You were always annoyed when i call you "bebe" and when i endlessly tickle your tummy. You always hate it. but you keep on laughing hard. :) Sometimes we fight a lot. over shallow reasons like food and take-turns on the computer table. but we do have marvelous memories particularly on books, sleeping on the same bed with your feet on my face, sight-seeing, bear hugs and infinite teases.

You are the best sister i never had. We have this 10-year age gap,I'm 23, you're 13. but you have a mind, more mature than a 20-year-old woman. You are unbelievably smart. We can talk about anything. and i always felt bad, when someone at your school, insecurely bullies you. but you are a fighter. You stand up for what's right. :)

I remember when you were 9, you told me that when you grow up, you want to be "me".. because you love the way i am. the simple "ate".. I was touched to the point that i can always relive that moment.

We're together for 12 years. the day you were born, and up to the day that you were busy fixing your things because you will now have a new slate with your parents in Laguna.. You know what, i cried for days. I dread the idea of not having a little sister at home. The one who amuses me with her witty ideas and quotable quotes. The one i am sharing my music and books with. The one who become my blood sister. Although we're just cousins, i know, we are connected. We are connected by love. Love of a sister.

This letter is supposed to be for a bestfriend, but after sorting the ideas and memories i had with my lovely friends, I'm strucked by the idea to chose you. Because you've been with me always. sharing the happiness and even the loneliest times with each other.

Jojoy, we may not see each other always. I can get to see you for only holidays, but remember, that i am missing you always.. and ate loves you so much.. You will always be my little baby. :) I LOVE YOU! :D
