DEAR ALLIANA,

Alliana, sistah. Ya'know, I miss you so much. After four years of staying here at US, my mind didn't forget our moments as sisters, and also with our family, with Mom and Dad. Though I'm always okay here with lights and sounds, I be comfortable if I'm with you.

I want to share something. By my strength and trust to God, I'm one of the candidates for Magna CumLaude here at the university. Hindi ko alam that makakamit ko rin yun, though I'm a shy type person, but a naughty one with my friends. I didn't expect to myself na nahahantong ako sa ganito. This expresses how really grateful I am.

Tutal last year ko na to sa college and only a thesis ko na lang ang kailangan bago grumaduate, I've decided to stay at our home for five to six months, or until my thesis has finish. I wished to celebrate Christmas with you at the Philippines, that will be fun.

Sana nga mangyari, awa ng Diyos.

Love you Sis!

Ate Aiza ;)

Ang ganda ng bungad sakin ngayong pagkagising ko, a very surprising Ate's letter. May nakita kase akong sulat sa tabi ng unan ko. Akala ko nung una note, o di kaya love letter. Oo nga, love letter mula kay Ate na nasa States. Last year naman na niya ng pag-aaral doon ng Psychology kaya buti naman, naisipan pa niyang dito simulan ang thesis niya. Note: She will arrive here on the next days, and I'm so excited, like I just can't hide it.

Napaisip ako sa sarili ko habang nakahiga pa, anong bonding moments naman with my ate ang gagawin namin, ano kaya? Tss, over excited na naman ako.

Terminal ng NAIA.

Nasa loob kami ng terminal, naghihintay sa arrival ni ate. Kami lang dito ni Mama kase si Papa may urgent meeting kasama ang kanyang mga kliyente, tutal Christamas season na ngayon kaya andaming gagawin.

While waiting, liningon ko ang sarili ko sa paligid. Marami palang tao ngayon dito, maybe others, like us, are waiting for their loved ones too. Napansin kong may mga fabsigns silang dala saying 'welcome back, kuya' or 'we miss you tatay.' Nakaka-heartwelming naman. At ako lang ang may bitbit nun samin.

Ilang saglit lang, napansin ko ang mga pasahero ng bagong lapag na eroplano. Maybe this is now ate's arrival. Sabay na ang taas ng mga fansigns ng ilang nandito, and also mine too.

Where's ate? Inikot ko ang paningin ko para hanapin siya. And a lady with blue blouse and black jeans carrying a cart full of lugagges. Maybe siya na si ate, but her shades made me more bother. I suddenly shocked when that girl walked to us nearer. She stopped infront of us and said, "Mama, Ally? Kayo na yan?"

Wait, is she my sister? Later on, she pulled out her shades then a familliar face comes out. Ate, ikaw na ba yan, for real?

"Aiza, ikaw na ba yan?" intruged Mama.

"Opo Ma, porke pumuti lang po ako after 4 years, grabe naman kayo," sagot ni girl.

"So ate ikaw na nga yan?" pagtataka ko.

"Oo nga, Alaiza Margarette Rosales Gonzaga. And yes, I'm home."

After some laughs, hugs, kisses, then we're on our way home. Ate was on the front seat, with Mama who drives the car. Ako naman, malamang nasa likod, busy na naglalaro sa cell phone.
