My baby sister rules!

As you guys from CPE evenings already know, Adriana is my sister, my dear lovely baby sister; and I’ve decided to make this post as up close and personal as possible … actually I am writing straight to my sister! (If the dear reader is still interested feel free to snoop a bit!)

Adri, first of all, let me remind you that this is the first time in our lives we are in the same class. We’ve studied in the same schools, took the same courses but never as classmates. So it’s a new experience for both of us and it is absolutely lovely to spend our Friday nights together (of course we could have decided to go out, have some beers and chat, but coming to CPE classes is a bigger pleasure because I know we are going to meet, chat, laugh, gossip and even if we don’t have some beers after, it’s ok!).

Adri, taking the same course with you wouldn’t cross my mind less than a year ago. Life is complicated and sometimes we chip in too much to make it even messier! The only reason we are here today is because I love you and I wouldn’t allow anything or anyone in this galaxy to tear us apart! I know we spent a long time a bit distant but it seems to me it was a thousand years ago. I feel as if I had never lost touch with you as if we had always been together like we are today!

Adri, I admire your personality and your sense of humor amuses me. The way you face life’s challenges is positive and brave. You enjoy the small joys of life like no one else. The best coxinha in the world, the coolest glass of Coke are exciting and delightful. All the amount of energy you spend keeping the whole world updated about your birthday’s countdown! It is so cute! It is totally cute!

Let me explain for the ones who don’t know you that well … Adriana spends around 30 days of the year (starting August 12^th) in the pursue of a personal tradition ... a daily countdown to her birthday! Yes, dear folks she reminds everyone (family, friends, boyfriend, and who else is around) that its only 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, … days left to her birthday!

So 09/11 is not a world day of grief, it is just the day before her birthday, which is and will forever be the most important event of the month. Let’s face it! Bin Laden tried to get some attention, but Adriana will never give up!

Be sure that for the ones that love you, September will always be all about you!

Happy birthday tomorrow!

Love always

Eli
