Open Letters to the World
I suddenly thought of the idea of writing letters to people. Why not make a blog entry with this theme in mind, then?
Dear Ms. Canaria,
The unexpected sightings and conversations between us, the party at Eastwood, and your birthday party prove that you are indeed becoming more and more beautiful as time passes. Do not worry, for I had been doing my best to try to discard feelings. But I would still care for you, and that would never falter.
To my perennial teammates,
You guys are the best teammates I can have. Despite the constant and sometimes annoying trash-talking, the fun games-when-we’re-supposed-to-be-playing-s
eriously, even if I was quite bossy at times, and disappointed at some failures, I had the best games with you guys. I think we really have cemented our names in that café as one of the strongest, if not the strongest team based there. The times spent with you guys I found quite enjoyable, and it’s the best team that I was really comfortable to play with since the days of the Shock clan.
To a high school batchmate,
I had never expected that you would turn a typical hang-out into a whole afternoon and evening attempt to invite me over to this group that you belong in. I had clearly stated before that I never had any intentions of joining that kind of group in this university. If you think that the recruitment ways that you guys employ would really convince me to refute my previous statements, you are so dead wrong. All my college life, I had been invited, sometimes pestered, others begged for me to fill in their ranks. Heck, I found it very difficult back then to decline some of my closest friends in elementary and high school. What makes you think you guys are special? What makes you think I never heard the same recruitment pitches and persuasive tactics before?
You severely disappointed me, dude.
To my Dreamgirl,
Why do you always look so absolutely stunning and gorgeous? Hahaha! You will always remain as one of the women I really admire and respect so much. Oh, when can I ever get to have lunch with you again?
To all the graduating people I know,
Congratulations, everyone. I wish you guys and girls all the best in your future careers, or further studies. Pahingi ng grad pics, haha!
To the new Executive Committees of my organizations.
Congratulations on winning our organization elections. May you all continue the legacies of our organizations, and strive to improve and excel in our activities.
To a certain set of 20,
I really want to thank you guys for believing in me. If there was a chance that I could know who you guys are, I would be personally thanking each and every one of you.
To Jo,
I wish you well, and may you be able to continue the legacy of the committee in your administration. Despite not getting any replies from you prior and after, I would not take that against you.
To some people who really seemed to misjudge,
Isipin ninyo muna yung mga pinaparatang ninyo bago kayo putanginang humusga. Pinakaayaw ko sa lahat ang ma-isyu, kaya imposible talaga yung mga sinasabi ninyo. Kilalanin ninyo nga muna ako ng husto.
To Daril, TJ, etc.
Thank you for all the help that I recently received from you guys. I am so grateful to all of you.
To my godchild,
Congratulations on being the Top 2 in your Grade 4 batch (or class?).
Ninong is so proud of you! I hope someday, you may get into the Philippine’s top schools as well, just like your godfather here.
To Abner,
Salamat sa mga tulong, at sa palagiang pagsama sa akin nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Ikaw na ang naging pinakamalapit kong kaibigan sa departamento ngayong semestreng ito.
To Pisay friends,
Nakaka-miss na kayo. Sana magkaroon ng maraming reunion at pagkikita ngayong tag-araw.To LB friends,
Sadly, we transferees here weren’t able to visit and head back there before you guys graduate. This semester has been the most grueling for many of us here. We were unable to grab the last opportunity to see you guys there.
To Mom and Dad,
If you only knew how burned out I am from everything that’s been happening to me during the past months. I never ceased on wishing that we never had the financial predicaments that we are always having, on thinking that life would have been more efficient, easier, and the future would be brighter for all of us.
To me,
I don’t know what’s in store for your future, but as always, you will keep on dreaming, eternally dreaming and that would drive you forward, someway, somehow, hopefully.
