We have more similar interests than we know.
For one, we both love anime. So that day, while I was watching Naruto, my brother asked me which episode am I watching. Then he passed me the latest episode which he downloaded.
We ended up discussing Naruto, and apparently he's been following up on Naruto's manga. And he told me that a lot of people died already! Like Jiraiya... AND KAKASHI!!!!! *bursts out crying*
Anyway, I'm going out of point.. The point is, we have another similar interest - exercise! So when I reached home yesterday and changed into my jogging attire - just in case I backed out on myself last minute - my brother asked me about my jogging route. We spent a few minutes discussing, and he said he's going to change too. MY BROTHER IS GOING JOGGING WITH ME!!!! woohoo!!! That's a first, but I don't think I can catch up to his speed. He's a marathon finisher for many years already la; I'm no match for him in terms of speed or stamina.
He was nice though - jogged at my speed until the last stretch, where he told me he'll meet me at the end. We even saw a lady jogging in slippers, and he turned to me and uttered his disbelief. haha.. It was a good experience.
It's like, I never expected myself to be able to do something alongside my brother. All along, it's like he's this unattainable lead where I'm trying to match up. A little like living in his shadow. But now, I see myself not as his little sister anymore. Not an equal yet, but almost there. =)
And it's definitely a good feeling. I can connect to my brother better now, I think. hee..
=)
