When a star shines bright – Assessing my Mimi
Stars start small… By being a small cloud of heat, and it expands, burns hydrogen, and turns into enormous sizes. Indeed, they are works of wonders. I know a person that does not only likes stars, but puts it as her philosophy. And I think that would be my cousin…
She started things the usual way… Playing around. While her brother and I are busy finishing Megaman sequels, she was busy playing with her neighbors. And I tell you, for me that time, she does not quite exist. Years come along, and so far, she is trying to make herself busy in her ballet classes.
When she stepped into her initial high school years, she is having a hard time on something that makes her feel bored – reading. But her frustration and conviction to achieve transmuted her weakness into one of her greatest strengths. And that initiative just transformed her into someone else.
Well, her beauty is something that is very obvious. Now that it is combined with her radical intellect, it is a force to reckon with. A thing that makes her friends like her more, and makes her enemies hate her more – No wonder that she is getting hate sites.
Her energy is the factor that puts her beauty and brains to almost-perfect synchronization.
Well, it would be a shame to think that I’ve only started to really discover and learn of her at her high school years. I’ve been doing sleep-overs, but i never expected that these things can happen. As her “overprotective” cousin, it is my job to protect her from external factors, especially the things that make her go astray – but to tell you quite frankly, it doesn’t make sense…
Intellect – she is NOT your ordinary girl – that’s for sure. Yes, she does the usual stuff, but she has the “expansion pack”. Nowadays, my overprotective nature is no longer needed – its like I already know the next thing that she would do; hence, I do not have to worry at all.
Guts – I really thought that she was the stereotyped metro girl that only wants gimmick, gimmick and more gimmick. But hey, she is in a different caliber. She now has a different outlook in life, especially since she was quite a bookworm lately. And I got to say, she does have the “Lee Factor”.
Looks – WTF?? Do we really need to discuss this? Suitor volume is a thing that I’m worried about AT ALL. Besides, it will be hard to crack this dude (even if you can pull that off, you WILL go through me! bwahahahahaha!! )
Now after all this mumbo-jumbo, why do I still worry about my Mimi? Well, beats me…
As far as I know, when Mimi tells me her prob, that means she can’t take it anymore. So if ever it would be about a “boylet”, consider the person DEAD (just joking! ^^). Her college days are quite hectic for her, since she wants to prove something. Just go for it, Mimi. At this kind of situation, I would like to thank her – cuz now, I do not need to worry more about her, but to worry about the person that I almost forgot.. Myself…
Maybe its just the fear…
A day before her debut, I slept over at my cousin’s crib. Pong’s slow PC was giving a hard time thinking of how to make it faster. But actually, I want to share Mimi a story…
Back at my high school days, I stumbled to a girl that I really liked. almost flawless in all factors. And for me to have numerous chances to mingle with her, it was a blessing – I don’t care if it’s just coincidence, just let the good times roll! We would have like an average talk time of about 4-5 hours over the phone, going out almost twice a month (even if I was low in funds, she was a practical girl, so no probs or hassles at all). And to think that went on for about 2 years. for me , it was one of the best times of my life. And to think of it, she has the same aura as my Mimi today.
Going to our college days, she took HRM at a university in Manila. Even though we’re having a hard time, we still manage to see each other. I was enjoying college that time, and in the process, I was starting to lose communication with her. Until one day…
I left my phone at home, and the Girl at her OJT location, was getting bored. She tried to call me at my say hi. By older bro picked up the phone, and thought it was someone else, so he played rude to her. When I came home, I saw her text, telling me that my bro acted rude to her. I told her that I’m sorry (in behalf of my bro). It was the last time that I got a word from her.
Months passed, and I’m not getting a word from her. I tried to call or text her at both her landline and cellphone, but it was either she’s at school or not answering it. Getting quite pissed, I just went on with my college life. But there were days that I would really miss her.
Since I know most her friends, I was hearing rumors that she now has a BF (WTF?!?). It was hard accepting it, but in the end, it was fine for me. But as months pass by, I’m hearing rumors that she was doing “unlikely things” – and to sum it up, she does it with her BF. I was kinda confident that it was not true. The fact that I’ve known her for years, I know that she was not that kind of a person. But the last rumor was a low blow – she was preggy, as they say. For me, it was good as a slap in the face. I did ignored it, thinking that she will never do that.
But everything crumbled last year…
It was my friend’s dad’s funeral. I was there with the other peeps, doing the usual stuff. Then from afar, I saw a familiar face – carrying a baby. My heart started pumping hard. She came near me and my friend, saying “Hi Guys! By the way, this is my baby”. At the time, I realized that she word “shocked” is true. My other friend was only capable of reacting after 5 seconds. “A sick joke”, a statement that was imprinted into my mind. Until moments later, I was able to talk to her mother, and she told me the old story. The usual story of what happens when college girls go astray. And from what I’ve heard, she wasn’t able to finish her college.
My mind got distorted for months. I was thinking of what went wrong. Then I remember the “phone call” incident. If only I was not preoccupied that time, I was able to turn the tables. It was my fault. You may think that it’s not, but for me it is, since I was learning on how to love her.
“Even a bright star may explode all of a sudden, causing a supernova”…
I know and aware that I’m over-reacting, thinking that this will never happen to my Mimi. But if that DOES happen, I’ll be damned. You may get mad at me for doing this, but I just wanna make sure. You do not need to under stand – just trust me…
Mimi, goodluck to life… *mwah!*
