I’m so surprised to know that my closest cousin managed to keep ALL the things I gave/shared with her since we were young. I think she was still in college when I took my first unofficial job. For the record, before I dove to my current field, I decided to make a “sidetrip”. That’s by working in a totally unrelated industry.
During the sidetrip, I’ve been part of the group who was editing/reviewing these cards and involved myself up to printing. Who would have thought I once explored this side. Afterwhich, my true calling came. Lol.
I’m the one whose feet are up.
I love this cousin of mine. She’s one in a million. Imagine, when I had my major heartache, I was confiding to her from night until early in the morning. And when I finished, I asked, “Ano sa tingin mo? Anong masasabi mo?” I got the best response ever, “Hmmm, tulog na tayo.” Heehee. What does that mean? My heart needed a break.
Happy birthday!

Sigh. I miss the days of receiving lovely cards like these. The last greeting card I received must’ve been on my high school graduation.

“Tulog na tayo” – that’s coming from a pragmatic person, I reckon.
Makikibati rin – “Happy Birthday R”!!! : )
