Kriska

You call me 'Morgans', which is 'Lady Morgana', the cruel bitch taking care of Princess Sarah and her friends in an orphanage (the cartoons where Sarah always holds a basket of patatas). Well, some truths need to be said, and what better way than to coin me a nickname from a character who has no heart. ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜†

You move at a glacial pace, sometimes I imagine you being hit by a tractor ๐Ÿšœsomewhere, which by the way, also moves at the same glacial pace. When you eat๐Ÿด, by the time the spoon with rice reaches your mouth, I would have already chewed & gulped my rice, with a piece of meat to boot. Your bath ๐Ÿ›takes a minimum of thirty minutes, for a quick shower๐Ÿšฟ. The normal bath is about plus one hour, with water splashed all over the bathroom like it rained ☔️in there. Another hour, you need that to put your make-up on, ๐Ÿ’„powder over your nape, lotion on your legs, foot spray before putting on shoes.๐Ÿ‘ŸAll told, you need about three hours ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•“to get ready for work or just simple coffee ☕️with me on a sunday afternoon. That includes the part when you need to stare into space, and scratch whatever it is you feel you need to scratch even if not itchy. 

You love pink, ๐ŸŽ€ribbons, shimmering stuff. Your blouses must reveal something part of bare skin. Your skirts are always mini, (Coco Chanel would have shot you dead if she'd seen you, the designer loathed mini skirts.) to reveal your thin, chicken-like legs๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“. Your hair was recently done in  brown, and the stylist ✂️must have thought your eyebrows are part of your hair, because they, too are brown? 

You speak in an accent so overly American, when I hear you talk, ๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ˜ทI want to slap you. Then I remember your work requires you to speak that way, so, I resist the urge. In the same breath, however, when you are in a Linda Blaire mood (nasaniban, in other words), the American accent is replaced with the stern, sharp Ilocano, that anyone who would hear you would weep. I hope people see you asleep ๐Ÿ’คin a moving vehicle, with your head hanging all the way back (not even sideways) and your mouth open, where perhaps a gang of mosquitoes ๐Ÿœwould love to hang around while waiting for you to wake up. That sight would surely balance out the English with a twang and the Ilocano with the whip. 

But despite all these adorable facets of who you are, your heart is in the right place. You are kind, pretty inside and out; of course, you take after me. ๐Ÿ˜‚ You have embraced the humility in all that you have learned, gone through, and tread life now with the best of you. I admire that you have let it all up to Him, who is so good, ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’“sometimes I feel we all are not worthy. Yet you have deeply believed that only He knows the the plans for you, and that these are for the best. ❤️๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ❤️

I am proud of how you lived your life as independent as you possibly could. Despite the disappointments, I will be here still, if and when you need me. And I promise you that when you are broken again, you have me to help you pick up the pieces. I will make you whole again, and again, and again, so that one day soon, you will be ready to receive the happiness you truly deserve. ๐Ÿ’•

Happy Birthday Kring. ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’ซ✨๐Ÿ˜˜
