I don't really know what's the difference between being sweet and being thoughtful. What I do know is that it would be nice if you were atleast one of those two. Thinking about these things, I wondered if I qualified for either one, and so I took a trip down thoughtfulness lane to reminisce some of my sweet feats this year:
Both my sister and I can play the guitar but for this song it was just me strumming. Partly because only one guitar in the house was in tune and partly because I was the one who knew the chords to Miley Cyrus' I Learned From You. We made it for our dad last Father's Day. To save some of our grace just this once, I would like to blame the bad quality of our phone's recorder and not our voices :D . We had to cut the song short because we meant it to be a ring tone. We changed dad's ring tone to our recorded song and called him in his cell at about 5am so that our awesomely angelic voice would be the one to wake him up. He loved it.
For my mom and sister, I made these big stars out of paper. I've been so obsessed with paper stars lately that I decided to build one that's a little bit unique, not the usual tiny ones in different colors found in bottles. I put together used bond papers that have one side clean and taped them together to make a very long strip then proceeded with folding them into a pentagon then popping it up into a star. I also hid a letter before the folding process which I knew they were going to find because said star obsession ran through the girls in the family at the same time. I made my sister cry and my mom clingy afterwards. :”>
I don't know if you know this, but I really like drawing. I'm no good, I just like it. I was out-of-school then so I had less reason to go to school and greet this close friend of mine a happy 18th birthday... And so I just made her a sketch of herself, supposedly. I hope she liked it. I just posted it online, in her Facebook page so that she can't throw it out in case she got grossed out by it and didn't have the guts to tell me so. Hahaha
A classmate of mine unfortunately had to leave the university. I don't want to go into detail of what happened since it's sad and it's really not my story to tell. I didn't know what to give a guy and so I just made the most of my star obsession and folded him a bunch o stars with inspiring quotes in them- some from basketball players, some from presidents, and some from How I Met Your Mother. I really wish it made him smile even just a little because leaving your friends is always sad at first and partly because my hands hurt from all the folding. Kidding aside, I see so much potential in him, so much that I envy him sometimes for it, it's unfortunate he didn't get to show all of it to the school. Oh well, God always has a plan.
I made my high school tropa a song, which is slightly embarrassing because for the most part of my high school life, I had been just the dancer and the volleyball player. No one pegged me for the singer type and I get that. I just got all sentimental when I happened to brush through some of our class pictures. It all came flooding to me- our memories, our petty fights, the people we loved and the food we shared. Oh yes, the food. We really had something special. Now that we're in college, all that just seems so distant now and I'm beginning to think that that's starting to feel normal for all of us and I can't let it be.
I have always been a fan of handwritten letters. With today's technology, no hand will ever get tired writing a copy pasted love letter. I decided to write one of my bestfriends a letter or letters. I wrote 19 of them in accordance to her age. I had a theme for each letter, like for example one letter was about boys, the other about parents, one about our elementary days, etc. She's in Bicol so I had to mail the letters really early for it to arrive on or before her birthday. I think I spent P200 on stationaries and another P200 for stamps. It was all worth it until I found out it she never got it.
After obsessing on stars, I made my way to paper flowers. My mom showed me how to make them years ago but then I forgot all about it and so I had to learn it again. I planned to give a dozen of these to my female classmates on Valentines but then, I don't know, schoolwork piled up and the dance competition was the same week as the heart's day and so all that plan down the drain. I guess I'll just do it again maybe before school's over.
My sister and I made simple paper banners and put them in our heads for our little brother's birthday. It says happy birthday and some stuff to tease the little chowder. I forgot to take a picture of myself but here's a snapshot of my sister.
