As our eldest brother, I know I should look up to him in a lot of ways. A lot of ways..

However, it ends up we need to kinda support him or at least, tignan siya lalo na sa age niya.. It's quite sad but, he's still our big brother.

He quite inspired in my cultural preferences. Gaya na lang ng japan culture! Nasama ako lagi niyan sa greenhills just to buy newtype magazines. hehe saka yun hilig ko sa anime, nihonggo, anything bout japan, sa kanya ako nahawa. haha hmmm some of 80's new wave interest came from him kasi naman, he has mobile works and used to play vinyl, doing remixes and listening to 89.1dmz.. Kaya ayun, nahawa ako. hehe

Ah, yeah kahit sa anime, eh he can really draw, lalo na sa shirt.. Bayaran lang yun shirt at pintura. hehe Movies! I still remember his VHS collection, lalo na yun galing siya US, tapos naguwi siya, yun na. I admit, ako tagasira ng player niya.. Paano ba naman, pag wala siya, siyempre pag may mga R flicks or hentai, eh alam na gagawin sa VHS player.. fast forward na! haha Pag nasira or nakain yun ribbon, tahimik na lang. Bwahaha Sorry bro... 

But thanks to him, I was able to watch the greatest films, like Star Wars, Godfather, Indiana Jones and other classics. Now, ako naman tagahanap ng mga trip niya. hehe

Those were the things that he kinda inspire me or to get my preferences ah one more thing, playing computer games! Sikat kami noon kasi may Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sega Saturn, tapos Ps one, PS2, then yun na. Plus some handheld consoles pa. Pwede nga kami magkaroon ng game museum because of these games. hehe

Don't forget yun mga collection niya ng mga figures, of anime characters.. Like Gundam, Chun Li and other characters. I tried that before pero, wala talaga ako talent, lalo pag coloring part na. hehe 

Yeah, that's why despite his stature today, I still love him. Even with his temperal attitude towards others kahit parents ha, pagdating sa kin.. Di siya ganun. Geez... hehe Weird but ok lang. Although, paglaki ko he become very distant from me kasi from endeavors eh pagnakita naman kami, we talk like kids, what's the new thing, computers, gadgets, downloads and other stuff.

Kaya sana, kahit ganun siya today, lalo advice ni Dad na intindihin na lang siya even siya eh na hirap din. hehe hay, even other siblings cannot help him.. Gerro even doesn't want to see him. Like I said earlier, may attitude kasi that really won't work with other people. 

Well, for now ah I hope and pray na he can have an opportunity to work as a productive person. Lalo na now may Aljune na siya and be a good father to him. I know it will be hard to change his ways, pero I pray na if he thinks these changes are not for him, at least for Aljune na lang. For his future na din. I still believe in him, and it's not too late for him to make steps toward success. Even everybody seems lost hope in him.

Bro thanks sa lahat at sana one day, if everything eh easy na lang... Play all day! hahahaha

Bro, thanks for giving me interest at least to overcome boredom or sadness.. =)

The reason I don't smoke was because of him. =) Very graphic yun nakita ko dati like he's in sick, spitting blood dati especially nung teenage years pa siya.. I saw that and said to myself because of that graphic effect of smoking which na tinigil niya din eh di talaga ako magyoyosi. I still stand that decree until this moment. No regrets about it and kahit peer pressure na matindi coming from work or other people, no way I'm going to smoke. 

But other than that, siyempre idol ko naman si Kuya in other ways. Like his built, addict sa pagpapalaki ng katawan even he still feels maliit pa daw. He's well built already. Another, if there's a great example of coming back in life eh kahit di naman siya tapos ng college, mas malaki pa kinkita niya sa min magkakapatid! hehe It's all due to hard work, smarts and preseverance. Sipag at tiyaga talaga in layman's terms. Even sa dami ng experiences niya from different companies eh or different ventures na pagdaanan niya eh he end up sa kanyang long standing business. Cellphone business. How many times na ako nayaya niya? Around 3 na, pero in the end eh nagsama naman kami for some time, 3 years. I know it's a worthwhile business relationship with him eh ganun talaga, iba yun trip ko saka nagkamali lang ako ng diskarte for the 4th year of running the biz. At nagkataon pa nawala ang great job na gusto ko pa naman. Alat na talaga. 

Saka bilib din ako sa tibay ng loob ni Kuya, with all the misfortunes and losses, he's still standing and doing the same strategy all over again. He just don't quit kasi siyempre inspired to do a living not only for himself but also for his family. =) Kaya talagang I can't rebutt in some things kasi well, he's doing it for his family. I can give him advice all day but he's still the one will decide what's good for his family. Marami ako natutunan sa kanya, from sales, dealings with customers at siyempre sa mga tao mo. Diskarte sa negosyo, financing na din and dealing with suppliers, at san mo hahanapin ang suppliers din, at paano din ang working relationship with them. Ika nga niya, sa negosyo lahat ng aspeto malasin ka na o bad shot na, wag lang ang relationship with your suppliers. Tama nga siya, aba kung bad shot ka sa kasyoso mo o supplier mo, aba wala ka ibebenta. hehe 

Despite some troubles lalo na this year for him, I know he will do a lot for the good decisions for the upcoming times. Sana he can handle the finances well for his family needs at the business needs na din. I know he has a strong faith dahil lourdesian at never questioned God for everything bad happen to him. Kahit kinukulit niya ko magexcercise aba, don't worry tol, I just need some funds at equipment, may video na ko ready, magiging fit na din ako. Wait and see. hehe

Tol, kahit malayo agwat ng edad natin eh nagpapasalamat pa din ako na ginabay mo ko sa buhay. Kahit di mo naman ako nagpapagsabihan like other brothers do, looking over your younger brother, alam ko naman ang reason eh. Lalo na may pamilya ka na, as I always see you naman, I don't need some advices na or sermon siguro. I can handle myself and due to the events that happened to you. Pains and joys that you've experienced and luckily, surviving these hard times. I hope one day, you'll understand that it's really better to live in separate ways. It's not I don't love you or like living here together, but it's better for your family. Peace na din at walang titingin talaga sayo, lalo na si Mommy. hehe

I hope and pray always na magkaayos na kayo, alam mo na kung sino sila. hehe At I pray for the success ang longevity of your business and I hope it will grow kung di naman same venture, other profitable venture. You can always approach me for some help, wag lang siguro talaga sa pera. hehe Sorry tol na din kung I failed you before, lalo na sa mga magkasama tayo sa shop. Kung ano yun nasabi mo sa kin, ok lang yun, di naman ako galit or whatever, tapos na yun. It helped me a lot, at sana coming from you din. 

Continue praying to God at yes, just come close to him and di lang bagay na physical na bibigay niya sayo. The one you really need, peace of mind. Pray everyday and do good na din sa ibang tao, kahit simple tulong sa iba, malaking bagay na yun for him. Jesus will guide you all the way and yes, Holy Spirit will give you strength and wisdom that you need each day. =)

Lourdesian ka at you need to be strong to your faith, hope and love. hehe I always pray naman to Prong na he'll guide you and sila Ate Jen at Jeleane. Speaking about them, aba dont' worry. I love Ate Jen like my Ate at lalo na ang una kong pamangkin si Jeleane, I'll see what I can do to help her in the studies.. I hope jeez iba na ang HS ngayon, sakit sa ulo. hehe At siyempre guiding her as she grows old. 

I don't know if I was able to really come close to you, but what I feel for these past years..

I did come close to you, Kuya Alpro! I'm really proud of you! =)

Very ironic, sana iba na lang pangalan mo, pero sabagay yun Al panalo eh. Pati sa chicks dati nung HS! hahaha Joke
