HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ATE!
It's my sister Gwen's birthday today! *confetti* She turns 23!
Her officemates call her "Kimchi" because everyone says she looks like Kim Chu (that Pinoy Big Brother Teen girl). HAHA!

We are close because we are friends. We are friends because we are sisters. We are sisters because God made us that way and the relationship we have won't change regardless of how old we grow.

In high school, we did not get along with each other because were the complete opposites but because we shared the same room, we had countless bonding moments. Think Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield from the Sweet Valley series. But now we're on the same wavelength-- we open the door for each other whenever one of us comes home late, we go out, we share clothes (this did not work in high school because I was stick thin), we fight (oh yeah, fights can get pretty dramatic but we make up as soon as we both cool off), and we turn to each other when we need help (financially or otherwise hehe!). She's an awesome big sister and through the years she has grown up a lot. She was always the mature one and I, the bratty youngest girl in the family. She's compassionate towards other people and once you get to know her, you'll love the Gwen Astrid we all love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU and WE'RE ALL PROUD OF YOU!
