Knowing Myself Through Others

Sometimes, in my search to understand myself better, i look at my family and try to find how similar i am to them.

I somewhat look like my first and second brother but not much like my third. Having bumped into my first bro at Powerbooks on a weekday lunch and him telling me about the nice vampire novels that dreamspinner_ is already reading tells me that we both like books. He's my most studious brother after all. He also has leadership / management / deepack chopra / south beach diet books on his shelves. Cool. I got his pocket book of quotations when he moved out of our old house. Oh, he's also the one one who took MBA at DLSU, but unlike him, i haven't landed the dean's list in grad school.. and not even in college where he was given the Jose Rizal award in DLSU.. his course was Mgt major in Financial Institutions! Not for me :p

My second brother, based on my observation and other people's, has a lot of similarity with my dad. They like taking risks, they pamper the females in their lives a lot and they're generous when there's something to give hehe. I'm really lucky coz this is my brother who's still okay with bringing me to makati and back home even if his office is only in ortigas (10 -15 mins away from our house). :) He also gives me nice bday presents and always asks me my top 3 choices for my bday :) He bought his daughter a little puppy :) Oh and i think he's the one who kept speaking to me in English when i was little.. he also took Communications as one of his majors when he was in college :) Vet med was also one of them! :) I like animals (doggggs) hehehe

My third brother, on the other hand, is the practical, thrifty, handyman, and comedian in the family. I played with him a lot when I was little.. Family Computer, S-NES.. he taught me how to play Top Gear 2! He also likes to sing with matching funny moves - I do the moves in my room only..alone! He's also computer savvy.. he taught me how to use the computer back in grade school - hello Wordstar and Windows 3.1! He likes doing puzzles too :)

Wala lang... for me, it's nice to know these things coz i look up to my brothers. They've been there, done that and I'm just still on my way. I hope I can get to where they are eventually!
