"Partners In Crime"

Ann G and Babyrose G (aka Saling and Asyang)

Biologically, I am the youngest among the siblings. But, technically, it's really my cousin, more like my little sister, Babyrose or Rose Cubelo Gatpolintan, who is the youngest sis. She is the daughter of Evangeline Cubelo(Auntie Nene) and Raul Gatpolintan(the late Uncle Langlang). Babyrose was born without knowing her Dad. Auntie Nene was pregnant with Babyrose when her husband, Uncle Langlang passed away. So, when Babyrose was born she automatically became everybody's baby in the family. Everyone was her Mama(Mama Rina, Mama Ruth, Mama Ramie, Mama Eden, Mama Tess, and of course her Mama Nene). Everyone was her Papa(Papa Roger, Papa Quintin, Papa Onyot, Papa Pepe, Papa Hector). Babyrose is everybody's baby in the family. All are concerned about her. All are watching her. And, to everybody's delight, she has grown into a very fine and responsible young lady. She has not failed the family and she continues to make us all proud.

Babyrose is my sis and partner in crime. We both know each other a little too well though. Hehehe. . . We both know what is going on inside our crazy heads and beautiful hearts. Sometimes we still get in each others' nerves but at the end of the day, we both know that we'll always have each other. We are sisters and "partners in crime" for life.
