Who is your Super ONE and why?

There’s this Globe promo contest that let’s you choose one person to be your Super One. That is, you can call and text (not at the same time, mind you. It’s not only hard to do, it’s also pointless) anytime you want for as long and as many times as you want. It’s a great feature and all but I have to say, that’s a tough call.

Having to choose one among your plethora of friends and family you can turn into your inseparable mobile phone soulmate is just not something you can do as easily as blinking. In my case, I’d probably be able to learn how to lobotomize someone before I can confidently say that there’s only one person worthy to be my super one. (Note the sutble difference between “super one” and “Super One” in the article.)

I mean, there’s my dad.

Now he’s a good candidate to be my super one. One, he’s a super dad and two, he’s a big source of *ahem* income *ahem*. He’s really cool and always calls me to ask how I’m doing with work and stuff. Aside from choosing my super dad to be my super one, he’s also a great Super One because think about it, being able to call and ask for money anytime you want would be great.

Then there’s my mom.

She’s going to be a fantastic super one ’cause she she watches a lot of lifestyle shows and reads a lot of magazines about home and comforts and stuff. She’s super since you can ask her help about anything. Even if I pride myself in saying that I know a lot of stuff, I still have a lot to learn, like how and where to store cooked pasta or how to remove a weird stain or how to get rid of roaches. She’s also a great Super One because having the helping super mom a text away would be priceless.

There’s also my sister.

She’s a fantastic candidate since she picks up after me when I get lazy. I mean, I like doing chores when I’m in the mood and I am good at it too but sometimes I am just too lethargic to even bother folding up my clothes before sending it to the laundry. She’s super at cleaning up messes I won’t even consider touching with a ten foot pole. She’s going to be a great super one as well as a Super One because I get lethargic a lot. XP

Then there’s my brother.

We’ve never been really close when we were young but now that we’re older, we seem to have a connection. He’s currently the one left at (provincial) home with my parents. He’s the one who’s “taking care” of them… you know what I mean. Anyway, he’s a fantastic brother and a great Super One so that I can check up on not only him but also my parents.

Then there’s my dog. Oh wait… no, not him. He’s super and all but you’ve got to meet him to appreciate. LOL.

There’s also my friends.

They are great. Fantastic. Super. Each one knowledgable in his/her own field. Some are funny, some are unfortunately not. Some are spenders and some are se… wait… let’s go with “trifty”. Some are wise and some are just learning. They all have a reason to become my super one’s as well as Super One’s but I bet they’d pesk me with questions why I chose one over the other so might as well put them in the list of “not-so-wise-choices” together with my dog. XD

But then among your friends, there’s bound to be best friends. The friend who’ve been with you longer, the friend who you have been with through the best and the worst of each other’s lives, the friend who you can always call on for help and in turn you will help when they need it. I have a friend like that and I pick him as my Super One.

He’s Chairell Winston C. Almendras.

Most know him as Winston and in the online world as Batang Yagit but I call him, Tei. I don’t know if it’s the correct term or what but I’ve read somewhere that it means younger brother in Japanese. Ever since we met in 2005, he’s always been my younger brother (one I bestowed that I will take care of other than my actual younger brother). We currently live at the same place and I could not imagine a better housemate. If I’m low on cash, he’s ready to lend some. If I’m sick he’s more than willing to do my share of the chores. Because of him, I’m now more sociable than I was and I have a lot of friends in Manila now. I choose him as my super one because he is SUPER. You can ask anyone and they’ll say the same thing. I also choose him as my super one since having to be able to call or text the friend that you can always count on is just super. Why, you say, even above my family and the friends who will undoubtedly create a riot because I choose someone else over them will I choose him? Well, family is great and I’d never trade them for anyone else but in this time in my life, the closer proximity of Winston is a whole lot helpful (and it will be even more so when I choose him as my Super One). He’s also the more “generous” among my friends (ahem ahem… friends… there’s a subtle hit there… you know… about the quote generosity unquote part…), not only with financial needs but also his time. So there, my super one and Super One is Tei. =)
