Kris Aquino sent her elder sister Ballsy flour flower arrangements on the eve of her 66th birth anniversary.

But Kris said that her sister asked her if she was dying because she sent her four flower arrangements.

Aside from the flowers arrangements, Kris said that she has another gift for her ate which she refused to reveal. Ballsy turns 66 on Aug. 18.

On Instagram, Kris said Ballsy is her favorite sister, although she loves all her sisters.

"I love all my sisters, BUT my Ate and i have a hard to explain bond, siguro because for me, she keeps my mom’s memory alive- sya yung parati kong kakampi, everyday no fail she checks on me, instinctively knows when something is not quite right, and i feel i can (and i do) tell her everything because sure ako she’ll try her best to still understand and continue to LOVE me regardless of my imperfections," wrote Kris on Instagram.

Kris said since her brother former President Noynoy Aquino died, she valued her family even more.

Her full post on Instagram:

"My Ate asked me if she was dying, that’s why the HAPPY 66th BIRTHDAY flowers i sent were so over the top? Bago kayo totally ma weird sa ‘min, people who know my Ate & me intimately are used to the fact na we can discuss our deaths matter of factly - siguro coping mechanism na lang namin.(Tomorrow August 18 is her actual birthday.) And she asked why 4 arrangements? Was it because there were now 4 of us?

"I sent her another gift that shall remain private between us, i am posting the flowers because i had ordered them from my supplier and they arrived Saturday. Sheryl, owner of @59.flowercafe kept them refrigerated and fresh para mahatid this afternoon before curfew. i am so grateful because i gave such specific instructions about the emotions i wanted the flowers to express and Zach and the team achieved them so creatively.

"The sudden death of our brother profoundly changed me- it made me VALUE my FAMILY even more.

"I love all my sisters, BUT my Ate and i have a hard to explain bond, siguro because for me SHE keeps my mom’s memory alive- sya yung parati kong kakampi, everyday no fail she checks on me, instinctively knows when something is not quite right, and i feel i can (and i do) tell her EVERYTHING because SURE ako she’ll try her best to still understand and continue to LOVE me regardless of my imperfections.

"So to the world’s BEST ATE- i love you with all my heart and on a day i really didn’t want you to feel sad (even though i know we all still are) i’m glad i made you feel just how much you are #LOVED."
