How I wish we grew up together. You can teach me a few things, you know. I wonder how I would be like if you actually existed. I can't imagine the fights we'll have. It would have been cool to have someone to watch NBA with. It could have been your job to protect the younger sisters. You know, I tried my best on that department, I was so good, people assumed I was a lesbian. hahaha (some of them still do until now.)
Imagine the things we could have talked about. I know it would be mostly about girls and you would have teased me no end whenever I like a guy. I could have been your fashion consultant and you could have been mine.
I can imagine me getting jealous of your girlfriend who gets all your attention and I would make schemes for you to notice me. She, in turn, would try to get my vote. I would receive bribes from her and she would bring me shopping maybe.
Don't get me wrong, I love being the eldest among the siblings and have the responsibility of taking care of the younger ones but everytime I see a picture of a girl with a really sweet kuya (Landry Fields), I can't help but be jealous.

What could it have felt like to be taken care of instead of being the one caring for? How would I have felt if my voice is not the most influential in the house? What kind of sibling rivalry could we have had? Would you look like dad or mom? Are you good in math and spelling? Are you athletic? Could you have taught me to play basketball and boxing? One thing's for sure though, you are a goofball. It runs in the family.
I will never know the answer to those questions because really, there's none. But you know what, God has been so good to me, He never let a season pass without sending me a kuya/brother figure. They've all been kind and sweet to me that the 'being taken care of' aspect is usually filled.
Anyway, I'm proud to say that I am a fairly good ate and kuya at the same time. Calling tough decisions a lot of times and shopping with them siblings. That is the way it's supposed to be. Who knows, maybe I'll find them a really good kuya someday *wink wink*.
Loving you in my dreams,
Yam :)
