my brother

(oops! sorry for the obscene gesture. i tried to blur it out but i guess it still shows. :/)

i have a funny relationship with my brother. he used to be my bestfriend when we were young, even though i never told him this. i used to bully him and tower over him. but over the years, things changed when he grew up, stronger and bigger (but i remained the taller one) and became the bully instead. so then i became the one who would be shoved to the wall and do his bidding. i hated his guts and attitude problem and constant swearing. he hated my obsession with academia and perfection and my indiscriminate spending. but we shared many things in common- music, fashion, books and the works. as we became more preoccupied with our separate lives, we drifted apart. the only time we got to really talk was late at night, before we closed our eyes and succumbed to sleep. i remember how hurt i was when he came to the airport late to see me off, i remember how i made him suffer 5 stitches on his forehead when we were kids. still, despite all the fights that we've had. i can safely say that there is no love lost. my brother is the one person who knows me inside out, knows about the skeletons in my closet and knows all my flaws and imperfections. i'd never really thought about how much i missed him until today. when we had a longlong talk over the phone about shiznits and general exam woes. it's weird that he sounds polite over the phone, that he did not once boast about his achievements, that he did not attempt to put me down. maybe my brother has changed. for the better i suppose! i'm really proud of my brother and i don't mean to sound like some braggart but my brother isn't just some himbo macho canoeist. he's part of this scholar program in school and knows how to appreciate books like The Alchemist. he also has a great voice and sings relatively well and is SUPER FUNNY. (ok do i already sound like a groupie? heh :]) i mean, if this gay guy in his class thinks he's cute, all the above i've said has to be true, right? :p

nothing like some sisterly love. HOR? :)


i downloaded some songs on my brother's recommendations! i love it when i have new groovy tunes to put on repeat mode. :]
