Geli

A baby girl…little bit shy at first but once you have found her tickle button she will never stop amazing you and I assure this…you can never get enough of her. With all her friends she is a darling, for me she is a sweetheart. But my baby sister is not a baby anymore…sad to say. No drooling anymore when she sleeps on my lap on our way home from school. No more powder necklaces when she sweats from playing with her classmates. No more runny nose in the morning. No more sleeping by the morning table while unconsciously chewing her breakfast. No more kitten fights with me. She is past all these baby things. She has grown to a charming pretty lady that everybody loves.

Her Words...
You may think only the ambassadors are tactful and diplomatic. Not so true. This girl knows how to say how awful I look in a way that it would even sound as an inspiring talk to try some new funky outfit. She may be cruel sometimes, you cannot take that away from sisters…plain honesty…but still she tries not to hurt anybody…or at least minimize if impossible…with her words. She may be harsh if that’s the last way she can resort to. She knows her words and how to execute it, that I guarantee.

But admiring her way of dealing with people is a common thing, I think, amongst those who are with her everyday and sees how she talks to everyone whether it be deep or shallow acquaintances, friends, family or even to the puppies!

Her Ways...
She just has this instinct in understanding the needs of other people. She is like a fairy to which you pray at night and make your wishes come true…not that magical but still unbelievable. She has this charm that makes everything work out right. A charm that keeps everything modest even in the most chaotic situations of life.

Her Passion...
You may call her crazy, workaholic or any word similar, it does not matter. She has a passion for work and that’s what’s important. She does not only know what she is doing, she is an expert! And the catch is, she is STILL willing to learn. She is not that I-KNOW-IT-ALL employee and would raise her brow if somebody gives her a suggestion for improvement. She is courteous and humble enough to accept that she is just human that still has, like anyone else, a big part of herself not perfect. She acknowledges the experience and wits of other people as well…she knows they are good at it too just like how she always attains to be.

She
But most of all…She is she and she is great at it.

Geli too…
Despite all the strength and capabilities she has shown to me and to everybody else, I still see her as my sweet little baby sister, who herself, needs understanding, love, and a lot of care. And I don’t deprive her of that.
