A Birthday Present

She is someone I could never forget. She is someone whom I could be myself the most. One out of a thousand of my friends know much about me, and she is that one in a million. She cares a lot about me. She cares about my food, studies, my life, my friends and my family too. She never leaves me with my stomach empty. Could you just imagine how many pounds you would gain when you are always with her? Fortunately, my body is not that elastic.

Everyone thinks she is the man. But only a few of us knows what she really wanted in spite of her very open personality. Because of her open personality, everyone would willingly open up to her and feel secure with her but only a few understands the real Anne. They think they know too much of her, but no, they still never tried understanding her. There is more of her than her super friendly and approachable attitude. Both of us are being compared to each other on who is the more boyish between us but everyone would still say that she is more lady-like than I because of her heart. If she has the “pusong mammon”, I would have the “pusong bato”. Sounds tough.

I don’t know what has gotten into us that allowed us to be together. We never knew. It started on June 29, 2004. It was Juna’s birthday again, coincidentally; when she grabbed half the pack of that toblerone and ran away with it together with me. Partners in crime, are we not? We talked over delicate things while munching on that creamy, chocolatey chocolate bars. We never knew that food would be the start of everything and our world would revolve around food.

She is kind of weird in her choice of food. Here are her likes and dislikes. She:

Never eats something with ketchup
Always pour water on her rice not minding the temperature of the water. She could tolerate water temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.
Really likes Butterbean cookies that cost half of my life.
Prefers Sprite over Coca Cola
Never eats ngo hiong
Likes KFC Fun Shots
Never eats rats! (that would be weird if I would eat such)
Likes Cool Air
Would never leave home without breakfast (seems I am the weird one here because I always skip breakfast)
Never goes to a stargazing activity without Piknik
Waaaaaaaah! I cannot think of any particular weird thing about her anymore because there are too many of them!

Anyway, I love her for being the weird one to me. Weird in a sense that only both of us know. Our ideas on certain things may not go together but most of the time, we are on the same side. Music is one of the things where our minds seldom meet. She prefers R n B while I like alternative and rock better. But of course there are some songs that connect us both. We are of different religions but despite that we still are together. I guess the only key to this is respect.
Happy Birthday! This is my final blog. This is supposed to be posted on March 30, 2007.
