Dear May 14,



Hi there! This is me, May 24! In two days, it's May 25's turn. So, I've got to do this now. I know you've been writing to me. I read one of your letters last week and your diaries (wow you've been expecting a lot from me)  so I decided to write back to you my dear. I hope you could actually read this!

 Well how are you there in that yellow room of Rizal? You're in second year of high school right? Maybe you're with your classmates and crushes right now. Haha. I think you're enjoying hanging out with Diane, so crazy about Yael, high school musical (Breaking Free), candy magazines, Princess hours! Yes, I know.

Well to update you about those things, after 10 years... Diane is a Mom now. I just saw her post on Facebook (after friendster, there will be facebook) and her baby is so cute! I'm still using the nickname that she gave you "Ycah" and I miss her. I'll always be grateful for her life but we rarely hang out na. :"( Don't worry though you'll meet more girls that would mean a lot to you as well. :")

How about being crazy about Yael? Haha. Yael is your world right? Oh,  I have  a surprise for you! One day, you'll meet him in person!!! It'll be awesome! Your rocking romeo!!! Not just once but multiple times! (Can you believe this?). One day, you'll also find yourself along Katipunan Ave and you'll even eat in front of Ateneo!!! (I know it's your dream).  He's married now though! It's not with Ate Lia , but with another wonderful woman. I know this is painful for you. Aww.

 Yael is still special to me. He's still the best vocalist out there and Sponge Cola is still the best band. But, they're not my world anymore.  You never thought of this but, one day you'll meet Someone far  greater than Yael. One day.

I just listened to Breaking Free some minutes ago. I still love it. I remember you're always waiting for it on the radio and records that time that it's played or it's spot on the count down. There will come  a time that you can listen to it anytime you want. :")

Speaking of radio, wala nang 99.5 Hit FM and Nu 107 Rock. :"( You loved listening to the BrewRATs show too  so for an update, Tado passed away already but one day, you 'll meet Ramon Bautista!!

You loved Acel Bisa then and I love her more now! I read her book and her life is such an inspiration to me now.

You're also crazy as well about Princess Hours! Do you still sneek out at night just to watch it? Would you believe me when I say that my job now is teaching English to Koreans? I talk to Koreans almost everyday! I still watch K dramas and it's still very popular until now. This time though, I watch them on my phone. Yes, that's possible in your future.

Candy mags!!! You're so happy with your latest one! The one with Gio Limjoco on the cover! Yael is there too right? Boy panel! I remember how happy you were. Haha. Yung self- portrait ni Yael and the Unbearable Lightness of Being! You will have more Candy mags but as for me, I don't collect anymore. I just visit their website: candymag.com.  Still a Candy girl I guess.

Let's talk about online and tech stuffs now. I mentioned Facebook earlier. That's the famous SNS these days. Friendster is long gone. I saw the FS shout out that you prepared. I realized that you' re so me and I'm so you. I still prepare and collect FB status. HAHA! But yeah, prepare to say good bye to FS. Ouch. Wala na ding GM GM these days. HAHA!

I read what you wrote "Impossible dream: College" Not really. You will graduate and you will with honors - Cum Laude! Broadcast Comm ang course sa PUP - Manila.  Akalain mo ba naman yan? What a miracle noh? And now, I'm still a student. Yes, prepare for this girl... I'm studying... in... UP - Diliman!!!!! I'm taking Educ Units.  What? I 'm not kidding! Sobrang I know hindi ka maniniwala but it happened! Kaya nga sabi ko sayo lagi akong dumadaan ng Ateneo. HAHAHA. Later I'll tell you how it all happened and why.

Sa family naman, I know you really hate it kapag pinapagluto ka  ni Inang or pinaglilinis. Today, I miss it so much and I appreciate it. I love cooking now.  I miss those days na trio kayo ni Inang at Tita. I miss maghatid ng tahi sa Bustos and I miss Inang so much. She's gone now my dear. It's been a year so please treasure every moment with her.

I'll do my best too to help Tita Laura. Yes, I will not forget her sacrifices para maka pag aral ako.I know you're counting on me on this.  I pray to really be  a blessing to her and her son. Yes, a son! May anak na si Tita!!!! His name is Stephen and si May 23 yung nagpangalan sa kanya! :")

Nanay is back too! She's with us now (pati si Angelo Yay!) and she's taking care of Nanay Lydia. Nay Lydia is not in good health these days  but I'm still praying na maabutan nya ang pagiging LET passer ko tsaka na makilala nya si MOG (Man of God - that's how I call the man na nilaan ni Lord for me)

Hmm anong nangyari sa mga crush mo? They became your friends. Oh, I remember, some months ago, I saw one of your crushes, we met in a place and had a picture. He commented on our photo  "Ang ga-ganda naman ng mga kasama ko" . HAHAHA. If that's you hindi mo kakayanin. He will find you beautiful somehow but you're friends. One day magiging wala na lang yan. There will come  a time din na you'll thought hindi na mawawala yung crush mo on someone but it's possible. Natatawa na nga lang ako sa mga sinulat mo about them. Grabe I really wish I could talk you back then, sorry I can't. Anyway, may MOG naman tayo so..

Speaking of MOG, I know you're so curious about your / our love life. NBSB pa din ako my dear like you  and I'm grateful. We are reserved to His man. Only one man.Please be secured.  I'm grateful how God protected me all these years and I'm excited for your discovery of love. I know you're singing "I always thought that love could be the strangest thing to me". I know you feel like your family and relatives hate you and no one loves you, no one will accept you. I know you feel like you're nothing and not worth anything at times because hindi ka crush ng crush mo. But my dear, some years later, you will meet your THE ONE. Love Himself! Yes, I met my THE ONE who will accept you and  love you the most!!! And that is Jesus!!

May 18 met Jesus (the One that's far greater that Yael) and that's the game changer in your life. He is the author of your faith, your hope and the ultimate source of your LOVE. Grabe ka Nya I -si-secure. Grabe lang na He will reveal His great love sa 'yo.   Be excited. Super excited! Your future is so bright because Jesus is there. He is the culprit why we finished school or why I'm studying in UP now. And oh, I forgot to mention, May 22 went to Korea too by His grace and power alone! AWEsome right? I call myself Princess in Awe now.

The last 10 years has been wonderful because of Jesus. Your life is wonderful because of Him alone.

Instead of shouting "I love you Yael!!!!" , I'm shouting "Thank You for Your love Jesus!!!" now and you will too.

I want to hug you when I read your letter and your diary entries. Ang sarap mo I -disciple bata ka. HAHA. You'll be a new creation soon. Hang in there. Your purpose will be beyond you. It'll be  a great journey.

Let's wait for May 34's letter to us.
