Post SibShop Happiness :)
If I could tell the whole world, one great thing about having a sibling with special needs, it's that I always feel that our family was chosen by God to have a member with special needs because He knows we can take care of him.

So today, Bridges, my brother Matt's school, organized a Sibling Support Workshop (SibShop). What they did was they had different sessions for different age groups. Omg ang tanda ko na. In my age group, only 4 of us were still studying! So anyway, my other siblings were in different age groups and they had more "fun" activities such as story telling, song making, painting, games etc. But because we were older, we had more serious discussions. I super learned a lot! Interacting with people my age, who have the experience of having a sibling with special needs was refreshing. It's not something that I can do everyday. It was nice hearing their insights and experiences. With my brother Matt kasi, everyday is a very happy day! :) He's so cute and adorable, he can communicate with us.. he's just very friendly and bibbo! So I thought like all families of special children experience this kind of joy. But I was wrong. Some members of the group I was in, weren't close to their special siblings. :( Sad. :( As in di kasi nila masyado naiintindihan and masyado busy para intindihin. And then we discussed about who will take care of our siblings when our parents are gone. Swerte kami, 6 kami magkakapatid. I've never really thought about families who only have 2 children. Automatic, yung hindi special child yung mag-aalaga dapat. I got to talk with people in this situation. Also, it was nice to hear that some of the people in my group really believed that their siblings could be independent, with their own jobs and own happy place in life someday. One even had a kuya who was employed in a company for four years now. :) Bastaaaa. I now have a back up plan! If all else fails, I'd be happy to get a job in Bridges, kahit assistant lang ng teachers. Super okay nung school. Super okay nung workshop okay! Di ako makaget over. Basta mas lalo ko lang mamahalin si Matt. At mas lalo ko nakikita kung gaano siya kalaking blessing sa family namin. :) I love Matt supeeeeeeer!!!
Intense, sobrang mahal ko si Matt. :) So please understand me, if I get emotional when you make "autistic", "retarded" or "mongoloid" jokes. :( Di funny swear. :(
Ayun lang what a happy day lalala. Tapos si Jay pa lalala. ♥ Haha! Anddd congratulations to the Sisfire 7 team for the grand launch! :) Sayang I had to leave earlyyyy.
Theere, goodnight people. :D
