Yasssss no longer a teen. Welcome to officially being an adult.

We've been through so much shit these past 4 years hahahahah kung anu-ano ang ginagawa natin. I don't say it enough pero you're such a blessing. You're one of the people I can truly share everything with, from suffering in school to fangirling about BTS (OPPPPPAAAAA!!!). We been together through all these ups and downs, whether it be ranting about the state of our nation or being late once again to the cinema. Knowing you has definitely changed me. Honestly, it doesn't even feel like just 4 years. It feels like I known you forever. Thank you for gracing my life with your ever-loving presence.

BES! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF MORE!! Omg you are soo smart and super hardworking. I honestly don't know why you keep doubting yourself. I'm sure you can do anything you set your mind to and that you'll definitely go places, med school being place number 1 (or was it Korea? hmmmmm priorities??? hahahah). Also, medyo side note, but SING MORE!!! I can hear it in your voice and I can tell you have a good one. Just as in everything, you just need a confidence boost, like another smol mochi bean I know. I can't wait to see you spread your wings and flyyyyyyyy (wink wink nudge nudge)

Here's to staying perpetually hungry, perpetually sleepy, perpetually bangag and perpetually single (or maybe not??? plot twist?)!! Here's to more BTS concerts and more late night convos and our usual kasabawan!! I wish all the good things in the world for you, you cinnamon roll. We're almost there!!! Hwaiting!!! Love love love you so much, you noodle! I'll always be there for you, just a message away. We still have to plan our trip to Korea after all. Jimin and Jungkook are waiting for us HAHAHAHAHA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMNIDA!!!

<3 <3 <3 from your eunnie,
Isa

P.S. She is beauty. She is grace. Summarized in a single face.

(mga isang minuto ko nalaman pano magsulat dito hahahaha)

Wish ko lang ay magkajowa ka na. Charot. Wish ko na lagi kang masaya <3 ‘wag patitibag (wow) sa hamon ng buhay.  Med school is a few months away and I know you've prepared well for it – lahat ng pagod, iyak, puyat, cramming, alam kong yakang yaka mo na ang med school.  Wish ko na matupad lahat ng pangarap mo sa buhay, lalong lalo na ang magkajowa HAHAHA ILY!!!

Happy Happy Birthday Sam! First letter ko yata sayo to? Haha di ko alam. Anw, eto na:

I just want you to know that I am really really thankful to be roommates with you for almost 4 years now. It's not me eh, it's you. ;) You are just really really amazing for being so sincere, kind, and patient. I hope you know that even though you are not those things anymore, I (we) will always be here for you to listen to whatever rants or cries you have. Sometimes, being "good" takes its toll on us and you don't have to be hard on yourself when you decided to rest for a while #LoveMyself #LoveYourself

Thank you for waking me up almost every day for the past years. Thank you for introducing/ sharing to me SEVEN AMAZING KINGS that I know we'll forever love and support. Alam mo, you changed my life eh. ;)

Soon, we'll be one step closer to our dreams, and it's quite sad that we'll have different paths then. Despite that, know that (again) I will only be one text or call away. My gala self is always activated if you need me. It's scary w/o you guys but I know we can do it. I love you. Miss you kase umuwi ka. Balik ka na agad, nakakatakot matulog na wala ka, di ko na alam anong oras ako magigising (but so far so good, the alarms are working).

(LAST NA) Happy Birthday ulet! Bente ka na at last. Let's eat more samgyeopsal. Read more hangeul. Watch more Bangtan. Drink more 3-in-1 (or soju). Soon, makakasama din kita sa SK (pag may pera na ako). Gaya ng lagi nilang sinasabi, always be healthy and happy and healthy and happy and healthy and happy so that we can enjoy life together.
삼씨, 사랑해

okay. seriously now, Sam. WHAT THE HELL HAVE WE BEEN DOING? HAHAHAHAHA jk sketch ko.

i2 n tlg sis ahehe.

You are turning 20 years old today? WTF man. AND I am so blessed to have spent more than 6 years of those doing crazy stuff from sharing everything like utensils during lunch time, jackets and water bottles in HS (which were all yours actually) to now sharing our existential crises and longing for love and purpose in life. Maturity and college and life in general has changed the things we talk about and even the people that we are but they have not changed the way we talk to each other.

I can begin naming the times I would like to thank you but there's just too many at this point. So, THANK YOU. Corny ko but whatevs gurl alam mo na lahat like even to the most raw and inappropriate details HAHAHA I do this to inspire you to be more honest. I know Sam that it might feel difficult to say what you really mean all the time, especially because you care about others so much and sometimes you'd think its easier to not tell the truth but this is a trying time and you should at least try to fight. Be true. Be honest. This way you'll live a (somehow) easier, guiltless life. No person is perfect and that's exactly what makes each person uniquely beautiful. We try so hard that we forget that it's okay to make mistakes. There is nothing shameful to falling a little short. There is no shame in admitting the need for help. It's okay to admit that we are not strong enough on our own. You have your friends and family for that.

You still remain a candid, big-nosed, kind person who endures more than expected and overcomes with so much grace. The years have just tempered you and given you more reasons for the things you believe in. At this point, they have been broken down and shredded in front of you for you to piece together to its new form. Its an honor to watch you grow and flourish to the person you are now. I am so proud of you, always. I hope you know that I've got your back always. (literally for anything kahit na feel mo mababaw, walang mababaw sis seryoso hehehe).

I love you, Sam. From the atria that receives my blood and the ventricles that pump them, I am so grateful for you. Onto more crazy adventures or maybe we'll eventually settle with drinking tend up with cryfests but that's ayt!!!! Feelings are important! Life is amazing! HAHAHAHHA HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!! God bless and take care always. You are beautiful! <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE SAMANTHA!!!!

Wow, thanks for being a literal lightbulb whenever i see you (where are these metaphors coming from HAHA) i know it’s been a really long time since we last saw each other, and it’s hard to see you around (ateneo is such a long way from pisay huhu) but let it be known that it is such a pleasant joy to see and catch up with you, wherever and whenever that may be. thanks for being that ate i could always comfortably catch up with despite the gulf of separation betwixt us (wow choz) 💖 i will always relish the time we spend with each other, albeit brief
have a happy, happy birthday, i wish you all the best wishes, i miss your nose especially so~

all the love,
keren

We haven't had a conversation for the longest time. Right now I'm sneaking in writing this thing and reviewing for an exam tomorrow, but I can't let this week end without having written something, anything, on here.

So here we go.

Those little nonsense conversations we used to have in class back in second year will always be with me. Not so much what we talked about, but the fact that remembering those times make me feel a lot better. You have this uncanny talent of making people feel like they're a lot better, funnier, talented than they really are, and if people like that aren't the sort of friends you'd wanna keep around, then you must have a screw loose or something.

Maybe life got in the way, or maybe it's just what happens when you're thousands of meters away from high school friends, but I really wish we could have those conversations again. A little taste of a time when I dreaded seeing my grades (sinulit ko na lahat ng singko at kwatro nun eh  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) but really looked forward to fool around and mess up with you guys.

I guess it took me this long to even get writing cos I really didn't know what to say. Not because there's not much to say, but because there really is to much to say.

Man, we had really dumb conversations and I'd draw stupid pictures and write stuff that would make me cringe today, but you always convinced me that I was doing a great job.

As much as you insist that I made you smile or be happy,

I'd be lying if I said you didn't make me smile a whole lot wider.

I look forward to drawing you another bad picture, writing another dumb poem that I'll make you read, and simple afternoons when nothing much mattered besides hiding from my Math teachers and having conversations about all sorts of useless stuff and making you laugh and smile.

I don't know if we'll ever see each other again in the next six years or something, but for now (or by the time you read this), I hope you have a nice couple birthday meals, a day out, a movie, a book run, maybe a nice day-off with lotsa junk food and shows to binge when you're not really up for any of that.

And oh, here's a long dumb letter that could have just as easily been me saying Happy Birthday Sam!!! instead of going through the long, tiring task of writing all this, while you're at it.

P.S. Remember when we sang a duet in first year? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

- Matthew. Yeah, that Matthew. Chubby/Fat Matthew. Libre naman diyan Matthew.

Happy birthday Sam!!! Missing our shift concerts featuring Bruno Mars hehe and our endless kasabawan! But more than anything, I miss seeing you in DSWS :) Thank you for the laughter and the chika everytime we see each other, I'm glad hinatak ka ni Elys sa DSWS kundi di tayo magkakakilala. You are one of the most genuine people I know hehe. I remember being a proud OIC to you (and Char) when you guys took over, so attached here is a video of you being a responsible OIC :) Know that I'm always here for you (ya know where to find me hehe) when you need me! See you in med school, Sam, and good luck with everything!! Love yuh! God bless you! Enjoy your day :)

Hi, Ate Sam! Wishing you a happy birthday! 🎂 You’re one of the kindest, most genuine person I know. Being your roommate in the dorm during freshman year really enabled me to learn so much from you. 🤗 I remember the fun kwentuhans and late night eating! Haha. You’re a gem 💎 I wish you all the best. You’ll always be my LODI! Beauty and brains! Haha. Wag mo kami kakalimutan pag may Nobel Prize ka na Ate. Nux 😝 Love you! Hope to see you soon. Have an amazing birthday! 🥂❤️ —Nicole

Now that you're 20, hope you've become more than ready to face what's ahead for a grown up (vs that for a teen CHZ) Anyway, sam, HAPPY BIRHDAY! I'm super thankful for the inumans, the dinners, the in-city adventures, the late night study sessions, and the long walks from dorm to katip and back that mean meaningful conversations. Thank you for sticking around this whole time Sam, and for showing me the ways of the ideal friend. Words will never suffice to express how grateful I am for the friendship, and it comforts me to know this will last a lifetime. Sana naman kapag naging "Doc Sam" ka na di ka makalimot haha! I love you, and see you soon!! - Colemn
