Bata, bata, paano ka ginawa?

That line may sound innocent. Maybe funny or simply dumb stupid.

But in our office, I used to call one of my officemate that name. Bata. Bata. Bata. Of course, she doesn't like me calling her by that name. It's quite annoying, she said. But I guessed, she's now used to hear from me calling her 'Bata'. Only she would roll her eyes, sometimes.

I'm quite tall and she's petite. When we're together, I look like her elder sister. Sometimes, she would go ahead when we're walking or would not stand beside me. But it's not only our vertical limit that has obvious difference among the two of us. We are different in quite so many ways.

I always silently wish I have her quiet patience and steadfast perseverance. I also admire her financial ability to manage her money. She could easily gather up millions with her persistent attitude to live a simple lifestyle and to spend on her so called 'important things'. Although, most of us we're irritated for her being KJ sometimes (because she would refuse to hang out with us on some occasions), but we silently admire her firm conviction not to be lure with worldly adventures.

What surprised us most was her amazing point of views in life and unimaginable imagination, we never expect from someone like her. She is far mature than her diminutive form. Ren, you have my high respects. It is my pleasure to work with you, and hope our friendship would last our lifetime.

I wish on my oncoming birthday, I would grow wiser in mind, in money, in love and in life. I may not be as patient as you, or as thrifty as you, or as mature as you, but at least I would still have you there as a friend.

I chose you Ren, as my first subject on my first blog because someone told me to start with little things.
