Loving D

There's a sister I know, whom I think must be one of the smartest people in the whole wide world. I know she must have a stash of letters following her name, but I can count the number of times on one hand that she has talked about her degrees. So it wasn't a surprise when I found out that she moved to Hong Kong, because the number one consulting company of the world recruited her, and merely 2 years after joining the company, she was already promoted to manager.

Now this sister is definitely a type-A girl, but she handles whatever the stress the world throws at her with much grace. Although we don't get to see each other too often, since her job has her all over the world, but every time we do see each other, we can just pick up wherever we left off last. I'm so thankful for her. :)

Today is this dear sister's birthday, and I felt like an email, or a regular ecard wouldn't do the trick (she's been put on a really tough client), so I put together a picture of us on the beach, as an encouragement to her to keep steadfast, and stay hopeful!

Sending love via snail mail

I was on gchat with a good friend the other day, and we were having a great conversation pouring our hearts out to each other. Towards the end of the conversation, I asked her, "btw, how was your birthday? (which just passed about 3 days ago)" To which she replied, "It was great! But how come you didn't even wish me a happy birthday?" I know she wasn't saying that out of contempt, but rather asking out of curiosity. Oddly, I did remember her birthday; in fact, I made sure I sent her an ecard! Well, I guess as good and as convenient as technology can be, it still fails us sometimes...

So, to make up for it, I sent her a birthday card via snail mail, because I figured that she won't be expecting it, so it'll be a nice surprise! Besides, why do you need a reason to tell someone that they're special to you and dearly loved by Jesus?

Yoyo!

It was one of my best friend's birthday yesterday, but unfortunately, all I was able to get around to do was bbm her. How horrible. I had wanted to send her an ecard, but couldn't find one that was nice. Then, I found this snazzy program from Simlebox that lets you create your own! So that's just what I did! I hope she likes it (and approves of the pictures. :P) Next time, I'll try to get the premium edition and add either Lady Gaga's Paparazzi, or Bon Jovi's I'll Be There for You in it; those were our summer songs!
