got a surprise no-occasion gift from sis: a 3g wifi kindle! i was actually anticipating for a package that i bought online, but upon seeing a rectangular box, i was definitely confused. when i retrieved the beautiful black reading device from the box, i was even more amazed. how many more venture capitalists would want to invest in buying my wish list stuff? apparently now that i am single, it's my dearest sister. (it used to be han who would be striving to get me things that i loved despite my not asking for them)
the funniest thing of all was the sweet little message she gave along with the kindle: "sis, just some random days. you've wanted this item for such a long time. there's still time for you to download books you'd want to read. enjoy! :)" i could feel my face heating up and ready for the outburst of tears. such a nice little girl. despite my constant nagging and pushiness, she loves me just the way i am and is so thoughtful to even spend her meagre pocket money on something that would cost her 4 months of rent. as i am experimenting with my future favorite electronic device, i definitely don't regret getting it recently. sure, it doesn't have the color technology yet, but i don't think i'd be needing that except for reading magazines. love the sample book chapters. as soon as i am done reading my paperback books, i shall start downloading e-books.
i am truly proud of little sister. sure, she has a shortcoming of being too agreeable to others, up to a point in which people can take advantage of her. but our sisterhood is never that complex. i'm the more controlling between the two and always want things according to my plan (a.k.a self-centered?). she normally takes my opinions highly and my short temperedness lightly with a grain of salt. that way, i don't throw more tantrum if i'm not being listened to. sister, being more indecisive, would turn to me for life-changing decisions. due to my common sense and assertiveness, she'd find comfort in choosing the better option and is no longer being tormented by choices. i have to say that we do have excellent dynamics as sisters and partners.
now that she'll be starting her working days during summer all through december 2011, i am even more excited for her. it's a new life in which she has to exercise discipline in getting up early, cooking for her lunch box, and realizing that her knowledge will bring impact to society, not just pseudo-solutions for what-if dummy scenarios. i really wish her the best. we may not make it to yellowstone due to her new job, but i am sure we can work something out.
again, thanks sis for the kindle and for teaching me lessons of life throughout the 20 years i've known you.
