Friendship is one of the most beautiful things in life. It’s not just about having fun together or talking every day. It’s about being there for each other, even when life gets busy or hard. Some friendships are easy when everything is going well. But real friendship gets tested. It’s tested by distance, by silence, and by time. And the ones that survive these quiet tests are truly special. Sometimes, we move to new cities or take different paths. We don’t see our friends as often as we used to. But true friendship doesn’t depend on being close every day. It’s about feeling close, even when we’re far apart. One message, one memory, or one call can remind us how strong the bond still is. Life also brings silence. We don’t always have time to talk. We get busy. But silence doesn’t always mean distance. With true friends, even after long gaps, we can pick up right where we left off. There’s no pressure to explain — just an unspoken understanding that we’re still here for each other. T...
Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood
I love them. I hate them. I love
them. I hate them. These are thoughts only a person with a sister understands,
or in my case a bunch of sisters!
Do you have a sister? Me, I have
five!
Let me tell you something about
me. I am the youngest of 7 siblings. We are 6 girls and a boy. Being the
youngest of the siblings I can tell you that the youngest is not always the
spoiled and favourite one.
Flash back 30 years ago, circa
1980s during my childhood days, I was the one who was always ask to buy this
and to do that. In short, I was the default errand boy or in my case errand
girl. I was obedient to my elder sisters (for sure my sisters will object and
say “Really?”), they may disagree, but I did what I knew was right.
It’s true that you can choose
your friends but not your family. My sisters are my true friends and my worst
enemies I have ever had but I love them so much despite our differences and I
won’t trade them for anything in this world.
When we were kids, I was the
clumsiest, “lampa” among all the Cezar girls. I was always the one who got many
wounds and kept on getting hurt. My sisters were always there to help me up and
treat my wounds. But before they would treat my wounds, they would first scare
the hell out of me by saying something would come out my wounds and because
they were elder, I was stupid to believe in whatever they were telling me. But
my sisters are always there for me! They were my pillars whenever a storm came
into my life. I knew I can face any trials I will encounter because I have them
at my back. I’m not afraid because I know, come hell or high waters they will
always be there.
My sisters were really strict
with me! Even stricter than my mother. It’s like living with so many mothers
inside the house. But because of that, I grew up being a mature and responsible
person. I knew how to discipline myself whenever necessary. They were the best
role model any sister could ask for.
My sisters are the strongest
group of women I know. I grew up watching them.
I’ve seen their struggles, I’ve seen them in pain and I’ve seen them in
their lowest points. For all the hardships that had happened to them, I
witnessed how they have managed to get up, recover and move on with their
lives. They were the reason why I was a strong woman growing up. They were the
one who thought me how to stand up on my own two feet. I am the woman I am now
because of them.
These are some things that a
person with a sister would understand:
1. Missing clothes
2. You have craziest nickname for
each other.
3. What you own, everyone owns
4. You will always have company
5. There is always the “Blame
Game”
6. Fights get physical
7. Growing up was a competition
8. There is definitely hierarchy
in age
9. You promise not to talk to
them forever when you had a fight, an hour later you are already sharing an ice
cream
10. You automatically have a best
friend for eternity
11. You have this unbreakable bond with your sisters forever!
11. You have this unbreakable bond with your sisters forever!
