sibling rivalry

[mood | | hungry]

[music | stay by cueshe]

i just finish reading Meg Cabot's All American Girl..it was simply great and funny! even though the plot was sort of common.. you know the geekunpopulargirl-turnedout-popularandcool.. i know its pretty childish of me engaging to such books but i can't help it..i just love reading them plus i'm a huge fun of meg cabot eversince..hehe

i can relate to the novel coz it tackles the problem i've been facing every waking moment of my life.. SIBLING RIVALRY.. i guess everybody experience this..well of course except for the "onlys"..

unfortunately, i'm the eldest in the family..so all responsibilities are handed down to me as expected..i've got no complains though for i'm already used to it..what i don't like is the fact that my parents tend to expect too much from me..like i'm supposed to be always good,respectful responsible, giving and the list goes on..in short, a role model for my younger siblings..the perfect vision of an "ate"..but the problem is i'm not perfect..not even close to it..i'm moody, hot tempered and well, i hate admitting this but i'm a nagger sometimes...i have shortcomings too you know and i can't get over them in an instant..

in our case, all three of us (me, my sis and bro) are in the midst of our teenage years.. it's very difficult to deal with issues concerning conflicting personalities..petty arguments can grow bigger and would often lead to never ending quarrels..

i have no problem with my sister coz she's the best sister i can ever have in the world..she's my adviser, fashion critic, partner in crime, ego booster and crying shoulder.. we have a LOT of things in common..specially in terms of music and fashion..it's funny really coz our similarities are often the reason why we fight..

on the other hand my younger brother ( being the youngest and the only boy) is a certified brat! i mean..hay..since we were kids he's constantly been a pain in the ass..he's the only person who can annoy me and worn my patience into its thinnest level..

8. He is so "kuripot".. ( in the real sense of the word)
7. He acts like he's older than me..( ordering and bossing me around)
6. He often gets what he wants..(talking about favoritism..)
5. He has this habit of annoying me for no particular reason.( he just love to see my nose flaring with anger)
4. He's immature and childish..
3. He is very demanding..
2. He's insensitive..
1. He blackmails me..( and i totally hate this..argh!)

6 Reasons Why I Love Him

6. He's my brother
5. He protects me..(from perverts on the street)
4. He is very honest and frank on what he feels..
3. My opinion matters to him..(in choosing and buying stuffs..)
2. I can drag him anywhere (hehe)
1. He don't defy my purpose as an "ate".. ( coz he seeks for my advice and discusses his problems w/ me..)


so hate is greater than love huh..hehe..the hate part are just little issues compared to love..i'm stuck with him so i have to deal with those things..and to be really honest..our fights won't even last for 24 hours..lols.. i'm not holding any grudges or what..(i'm not capable of doing that..hehe!) ..it's just plain normal habitual fights common to every family..
