Lavender day

cards

I’m so surprised to know that my closest cousin managed to keep ALL the things I gave/shared with her since we were young. I think she was still in college when I took my first unofficial job. For the record, before I dove to my current field, I decided to make a “sidetrip”. That’s by working in a totally unrelated industry.

During the sidetrip, I’ve been part of the group who was editing/reviewing these cards and involved myself up to printing. Who would have thought I once explored this side. Afterwhich, my true calling came. Lol.

I’m the one whose  feet are up.

I love this cousin of mine. She’s one in a million. Imagine, when I had my major heartache, I was confiding to her from night until early in the morning. And when I finished, I asked, “Ano sa tingin mo? Anong masasabi mo?” I got the best response ever, “Hmmm, tulog na tayo.” Heehee. What does that mean? My heart needed a break.

Happy birthday!

    Sigh. I miss the days of receiving lovely cards like these. The last greeting card I received must’ve been on my high school graduation.

    “Tulog na tayo” – that’s coming from a pragmatic person, I reckon.

    Makikibati rin – “Happy Birthday R”!!! : )

    nothing beats having a friend as close as your cousin. also, i’m still the type of person who loves to receive handwritten cards…to hell with e-cards…lol.

    I always get envious with people who are friends with their cousins. I have tons all over but never really got to know any body.

    What a sweet post. You are both too cute as kids.

    You’re so lucky to have a cousin who’s close to you (and who listens to your heartaches up until the wee hours of the morning hehe!). ang cute ng photo of the two of you – you should keep it and cherish the memories. :-)
