Living one day at a time

I was alone in my room last night when my sister came over to have some serious conversation with me. She usually does that when she wants something from me. So when I asked what she wants, she asked me if she can borrow money from me because her allowance is not enough to buy her friend some wedding party gifts. I was kinda surprised because her friend whose the same age with her, still studying as well is getting married. I mean they are too young. But of course I can not question their decision. I can only hope that they are doing the right thing. You know, there are people who get marry in a young age and still manage to do things successfully anyway.

My sister’s 19th birthday was last Tuesday. She is living in the city because she is studying there, but she comes home on weekends when she is not busy. Since it’s her birthday was on Tuesday, she was with us last weekend for her advance birthday celebration. When dad told me about his surprise for my sister, the Acer Aspire she had wanted to own, I thought of a plan surprising her. A few days before weekend, we already told her that her birthday celebration will not be that grand when she turned 18. Only few of her friends will be invited and we will cook dinner at home. So, it looked like she had a simple celebration. The surprise came on Tuesday, my dad shipped his gift through the one day shipping service. My sister was so surprised when she had her gift. She immediately called us up thanking. It was really fun. We are all glad she liked the surprise.

Every time I go home to the country side, I would see to it that my loved ones are free so that I can spend time with them. I have been working and living in the city for quite sometime and aside from the holidays, I can go back home every four months and stay there for a week. This weekend is my sister’s eighteenth birthday and I bought some unique gifts for her that she can use now that she has become into a lady. I bet she will love the make up kit and the beauty products. But most of all I am excited to see my parents and be with them for a week.
