Dear “Dude”,
First of all, I would like to greet you a pleasant day (nakunaman! Haha). I hope you’re happy upon reading this blog entry of mine.
We’ve been good friends since high school. We had negative impression towards each other, but our friendship proved that “First Impression doesn’t really last.” It doesn’t even give a damn! :p
We became best friends when we were spending our days studying and having fun inside III-Curie with our school uniform on. We were teasing each other and helping each other especially during competitions and in our projects. You were like my “podcast” since you listen patiently with my rants and my stories.
When I was super down and tired (November 2003 – During Papa’s Brain Operation), I did not attend my classes for almost a week. Yes, I was weak because I can’t afford seeing my dad suffer. That was the most painful event that happened in my life.. more painful than seeing him die. My mom, my grandparents and I suffered seeing our padre de pamilya suffer that much. I was super down.. Kumbaga sa cp lowbat ako but then you made me smile when you sent a letter saying you don’t want to see me cry and suffer to much; that I am a wonderful person to experience such thing. You did not only make me smile, even my family was happy especially my mom and dad. You are also one of the few persons who loved my brother despite of his kakulitan and tantrums.
When my dad died, you were apologetic that you can’t come in the funeral and I do understand. Your prayers and constant text to me is enough for me to know that you care about “Tito Jojo”.
When my mom left to work abroad, you did listen to my stories. When I was heartbroken (tangina talaga haha), you were there to cheer me up. When I failed in my tasks, you helped me out.
I guess now is my time to let you feel special
I know Valentine’s Day is not a happy day for you, since two of your most beloved family members are about to leave the country. I know you’ve been crying and thinking so hard and the bad thing there is I can’t even comfort you this time.
I would like to let you know that I am writing this entry to make you realize that there are some things in life that we can’t control: time, weather, feelings etc. You are 19 going 20. You are no longer a teenager. You have to stand on your own. Yes, your mom and ate might leave you for now, but you have to think that your sister has her own dreams to fulfill and your mom wants to explore other places. I know your dad is not beside you as of this time, but your older brother is. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Your friends are here.. especially your pretty bestfriend (ahem haha).
I know you’ve achieved much in your academic life and we are proud of you.. we really do! But then you have to remember that school is not everything. You also have to explore. Have fun.. socialize! (look who’s talking haha). I know you’re still single up to this day (look who’s talking na naman haha Dear Mica ata dapat ito lol) but I believe that someday, your prince charming will come. Just make sure that you won’t fall too much (mabigat ka masyado.. maawa ka naman hahaha).
I Love You Maire! I’m always here for you no matter what!
Love,
Mica
