Even if I were reborn, I wouldn’t trade them

Just got back from Batangas, where my sisters (and Princess Wendy) almost had to literally drag me. My sisters planned a weekend getaway there, just us three sisters  (and Princess Wendy, of course, since she is more like a sister to them than a niece). I love going away…but this was an exception: I did not want to go. Huh? ME? One thing, I had already gone to the resort we were going to a couple of times (nothing new), and second, surprising as it may sound for those who know me…tinatamad ako! They cheesiily gave me so may benefits: “makakarelax ka dun!” “maganda dun diba?” “snorkeling tayo!” “Ate, bonding time natin to!” (Ok, that one got me…having a kuya is great, but bonds among sisters are different). I tried to get out of it at the latter days last week:

Me: Wala akong pera!

Sister 1: Libre ka namin…Wala ka na gagastusin.

Me: Tinatamad ako.

Sister 2: Wala ka naman gagawin…di ka naman magdri-drive, dika magpre-prepare. Uupo ka lang dun!

Me [to Sister 2]: Kunin mo book 4 ng vampires para sumama ako [I actually gave this reason because I knew this would entail much effort on her part, and I was almost sure she would crack on this one. And,  because we would be leaving Friday,  I gave this condition on Thursday night, leaving her with no time!]

The next day, Friday, right on the nick of time, the book was there!

Aahhh….Thank God for sisters!
