my other half


kyle!!!

living a thousand miles away from her makes my life dull, full of longing, to be home and be with this girl. i worry a lot about her, whether she is doing fine with all the necessities of life, if she is coping well with all the stress of living alone in the city.
we have been together, inseparable, for a straight 20+ years. we grew up throwing tantrums aimed at each other, displaying the funniest and darndest faces we could make, laughed and cried at all the men-are-jerks issues in life, had fallen in love, out of love and in love again and again, and had been there for each other through all these years. sometimes we forget to say how much we mean to each other yet we try to say it every moment we get the chance to do so.
and now, leaving her alone in the cold rainy days of manila makes me worry a lot. she has been used to me being around, to us being together. i am so unsure whether she can get things done by herself... but looking ahead at what this temporary separation can mean for her, i guess this is a test. i wish i could be there to comfort her when things go wrong, but i know that for all the things that will come her way while i am not around, she will need sometime alone to reflect on life and realize how strong she can be even if 'ate' is not around.
the road is rough and crooked. but i know she can see things through.
she is strong.
just like ate. :-)
i love you, sis! i miss u a lot. ate will be home soon. :-)
