My older brother, Tim, is a man of many talents. He's a musician: he plays the guitars, piano, percussions, and the koto, among other things. He's an athlete: he swims, he plays soccer, volleyball, and he can sports climb. He's an artist, a photographer... and he can be a complete clown.

I remember my first year in college. Whenever I went home on the weekends, he never fails to go to my room and bug me. Like, he would crack the corniest jokes, he would whip out his newest clown act, and he would dance around like an idiot. Or he would just lie down on my bed, pretending to be asleep, so that I won't be able to take a rest, myself. Kuya Tim isn't really an emotional, verbally expressive guy, but I know that this is his way of saying that he missed me. It was nice.

Every year on September 4th, I declare that he's my twin. That is, until his birthday on the 17th. That's tomorrow. The day when he gets promoted back to being my older brother. Hehe.

Tim is one of the coolest guys I know, and I'm really blessed to have him... even if he bugs me all the time.
