Semana Three

I observe and observe my sister. I notice when she's nervous, when she's mad, and when she's happy. When she's nervous, her hands fiddle together and her eyes get so big, they look like they'll pop out of her eye sockets and if it's because she's with a certain someone, she'll try to play it cool and then just awkwardly laughs at everything. When she's mad, it's like she's someone else, she doesn't think of what she says and does. She's a very angry person sometimes and she thinks resolving things will be by yelling. She gets mad at the whole world when someone has angered her; someone ruins her day and she's pissed at everyone else that comes her way. When she's happy, she's smiling, laughing, getting along with everyone. When she's happy is when she will actually do something for me, but I still expect nothing.

My sister is the only one with light brown eyes in our intermediate family. Very few of the outside family members have this eye color, and I really wanted to know if her eye color has any meaning. According to listoactive.com, they say people with brown eyes are confident. My sister has the confidence that I admire dearly. I've never heard her talk down on herself or say that she doesn't like this or that about herself. She has flaws and she knows, but she embraces them and that has made me admire that trait of my sister. She needs confidence to survive middle school, high school and life in general. She's only 12 years old and she has showed me confidence more than anyone has. Even our mom has said that she's the cutest one out of all three of us (My older sister, this sister and I), bugs the heck out of me, but hey my sister is kind of cute. Haha. 

I took her to play basketball the other day, I suck, but I wanted to see her play. Her passion interests me. If she screws up a throw, she'll keep trying until she gets it right. She's so focused, the look she has in her eyes when she's getting ready to throw that 3 pointer, is a look of determination. She feels so proud of herself when she gets the shot. She congratulates herself, she's her own motivator and dang, it's awesome to say that that's my sister! 

Week Numero Dos

     Throughout the week, I have observed my sister. My sister seems to have different personalities with different people and actually I cannot blame her for that because I am the same way. I'm sure others are as well.
     In front of her friends, she tries to make fun of me to make them laugh, I just laugh at her for being so ridiculous. At times, when she's around my parents, she tries too hard to act like the she's good child. My older sister and I call her "The Little Devil" of the house. She may seem cute but looks can fool you. BIG TIME. I see the way she's with her friends and when she's with me, and she doesn't try as hard with me as she does with them. She wants everyone to like her but she won't seem like she's better than you and I like that most about her, too.
    My sister is my best friend, but she's still my sister. I love her too death but our relationship is kind of funny. Anyone who is around us long enough says we're crazy sisters, but we just say that no one will ever understand us, we don't even understand it ourselves. If I ask her to do something for me, I always expect her to say no, I know she loves me, but she is lazy and will not do it for me unless she's feeling good and nice that day.
    On October 11th, 2014, she invited me out to Starbucks and I was completely taken back, so much that I thought she was just joking but, she was being serious. I got my Vanilla Bean Latte with Hazelnut and she got her Mocha Frap with chocolate syrup that day; It was a really good day if you ask me.
    Today, we got into a fight because I had forgotten her keys, ID and land yard for school in my older sister's car. I got angry and told her she could walk to school, she put her pride in the way and actually walked to school, I honestly didn't believe she would. I noticed that when she's mad at you, she will have the biggest pride and since she was so mad at me, she wouldn't even pick up her phone after I tried calling her to see where she was at.
     When I got home from school this afternoon, she apologized and she even made me a bagel and later on, a cucumber with chili and salt. I forgave her but I bet anything that she asked for forgiveness just so she wouldn't have to walk to school!

Week One

     Observing my sister has been more interesting than I thought. I found out new things about her that I never took the time to notice.
     I noticed that my sister tries a little too hard to impress. She goes to school and everything has to be perfect on her. I wonder why, especially since she wears uniforms to school.  I drop her off at school every morning and she will not get out of the car until she sees a friend she knows. She would "die of embarressment" if she was seen as a loner. When I come home, she is watching The Secret Life Of The American Teenager and/or she's always on her phone, Facebooking, texting, and just socializing. She even makes fun of me when I say that I have no friends and in things like that I wish she would understand that not everyone is going to be her "friend."
     My sister has a really outgoing personality and she is upfront. I dislike and like it.  I dislike that she is upfront because she will tell me anything directly, and taking the truth can be hard sometimes but I like it because at least someone is being honest with me and she is my bestfriend.
     My sister is growing up and I always imagined her to be that little sister of mine in elementary school. Sadly, she will continue growing, whether I like it or not. I wish she wouldn't, but I know i'll always be her big sister (even though, she's pretty much taller than me) and I will always be here for her.  She's my little basketball player.
