Happy 18th Birthdayy, Shallainee !! 🌸

It honestly feels surreal that we’re already here— adulthood. I still remember those days back in elementary when we’d share laughs, school struggles, snacks, and dreams that felt a million miles away (mag lalis pa unsay correct answer) HAHAHAHAHA. Even back then, it was so clear how special you were. You never needed to prove anything because your intelligence and presence always spoke for themselves.

Over the years, I’ve watched you grow—not just academically, but into someone with such strong character and quiet confidence. You’ve carried yourself through challenges with such poise, and it’s something I deeply admire. You’re one of those rare people who inspire others just by being who you are. And to this day, I still feel so lucky to call you my friend. May you always trust your instincts, stay grounded in your values, and never dim your light for anyone. You were made to do incredible things, and I have no doubt you’ll achieve them in your own beautiful, brilliant way.

Thank you for being the amazing person you are and for letting me be part of your journey. I’ll always be here — cheering you on, proud of everything you are, and excited for everything that’s still to come.

Loveee u bakssss !!! 💗

You are one of the brightest stars I have ever met. Idol jud kaayo taka especially when it comes to what you’re most passionate about — ur writing. I still remember atong ga training pami sa CDP for campus journalism na ikaw mag critic sa akoang sinulatan and I was so nervous kay I knew you as the “malditahon na gahi na titans writer” but you are much more than my first impression of you. You’re really easy to get a long with and ga match atong vibes. You’re also way friendlier than I thought and Im so glad that we became friends. Im glad I have a Shalaine that is kindhearted, passionate, and bubbly. I really enjoy your company and you make every extra cu I join a lot better (as a major in extra cu).

I really look up to u, Shal and Im wishing you all the luck on your college journey. I know that the universe has big big plans for a shining star like u!⭐️

Remember to be kind to yourself and to always be reminded that you have beautiful people around you who you can run to when times get difficult.❤️

Welcome to legality Lleansyy!! I LOVE UU SWEET GIRL😘

Hi Shal, happy birthday! Welcome to legal age!

Dili ta super close, pero I'm really glad nga we became friends. It all started sa extracurriculars, especially during the 2024 English Fest, mao gyud na ang reason nganong nagkaila ta and how our long-term friendship began.

I honestly admire you in so many ways, imong passion sa journalism, public speaking, writing, and even sa singing! (I can still remember that moment nga nadunggan tika for the first time nga nikanta sa karaoke sa Gaisano after the 2nd Cup Journalism awarding, shuldita kaayo tong gabantay ahahaha.) You're honestly one of those people nga akong gina-look up to keep improving myself. Stay strong sa inyo ni Vannix, akong idol, shesssh.

I'm so happy nga we're taking the same course in college and still in the same school. I'm looking forward sa mga upcoming events, hoping nga we can join together and make our friendship even closer. See you around the campus, future RN, with PhD! 🩷🫶

I just want you to know how proud I am to be your friend. Your glow that I've always admired since elementary never ceases, and it makes me happy to see you reach every goal and milestone in life. Thank you for being my inspiration to dream and reach more. I will always cherish our interactions and little kumustahan around the campus (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠). Everytime mag tagbo ta sa hallway, I always love how your frown changes into ear-to-ear na smile nga klaro kaayo bisan naas layo. Your existence is screaming sunshine and flowers tih sa 22o lang tlaga. Shalaine, you deserve every little bit of success and love you're receiving. Your current relationship made me so happy as soon as i've heard the news cus FINALLYYYYYYY AAAAAA. Love look so good on you ෆ⁠╹⁠ ⁠.̮⁠ ⁠╹⁠ෆ. Bagay na bagay tlaga maging lovergirl frfrfr.

You’ll always have a special spot in my heart cause you were one of my first friends in Repertory since I joined and that's where it all started. You listened to of all my rants and as in tanan even sa akoang love life nga wala na namao. You stayed with me during my lowest, and I’ll always be grateful for that. I’m really glad I got to meet someone like you during my last year in SHS.

‎

‎Now that you’re starting a new chapter in your life, I hope you have an amazing journey into adulthood. Wishing you good health, peace of mind, and tons of blessings ahead!❤️❤️❤️

‎Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHALAINE LLEANSY MEYKATRIZ BERLUDO!! 🎉🎉🎉

‎Enjoy your day and make the most out of it. You deserve all the love and happiness. I am so blessed to know someone as kind as you and your existence will be a blessing to me💖

Continue being the sweet, eloquent, bubbly, and caring Shal na we know and even if di na ta classmates, I'm always proud of you.

We've never had a lot of interactions, but in the time that I have known you, you've always been so passionate and driven.

Truth is, I super admire your talent in writing and how you are able to translate everything in your mind into actual words that actually tell stories — stories that resonate and that hold truth. And that is something no one will ever take from you, so press on, Shal. Let your skill in truth-telling carry you far in life.

You have already proven a lot, and I hope that you will continue to fuel that fire within you and never let it dim. Always rooting for you, Shal. ✨

On your special day, I wish you every genuine thing in life and may God grant all the right desires of your heart.

PS: Wala tay pic together, so letter nalang sa hahaha. Happy birthday! 💞

Happy 18th birthday, Shal! ✨

Today, you step into a new chapter, and I just want to say how proud I am of you. You’ve always had this spark—this effortless creativity, quick wit, and deep passion for writing—that makes you stand out in the most beautiful way. You turn thoughts into poetry and feelings into something real, and that’s a kind of magic not everyone has. Even I get inspired by your words. I thank The Repertory for allowing me to witness such a talent, and I thank our lucky stars for allowing us to not only cross paths but to also be friends!!! 🙂‍↕️

Watching you grow into yourself has been such a gift. I know that no matter where life takes you, you’ll never stop reaching for the stars. And honestly, I believe with my whole heart that you’ll catch them one by one. You’re meant for big, bright things, Shal—and you have everything it takes to make them happen. Always remember that as you grow older, center God in everything that you do and always keep your family and friends close by. They will become the rocks that keep you grounded in life and the foundation to make sure you not only stand tall but stand firm.

I’m always cheering for you. Love you so much. 🩵💫

Dem mag 18 kana pala, tanda na pala ng mga 2006. Di na nako magsaba kinsa ni, makabalo raka throughout the message hehe. I'm so thankful na you've been part of my life, I miss those Science bardugalan with chloe ;( bat kasi kayo nag humss, wala na ako masyado nakakataluhan sa sci, agree nlng sila agad, alang humahamon tsk² walang thrill yung learning AHAHAHAHAH. So proud of you kamo ni chloe (pati ba nmn dito sa msg di gyapon magbulag kang chloe) anyways mag best friend talaga kayo, galing maka champ ba nmn sa BioTech, ye wala ko naka congrats ato so Congratulations 👏 👏 Galing nmn mag sulat. HUMSS pero wala gyapon nawala ang love sa science, chinampion ba nman. So proud din galing ng speech sa commendation(?) truly inspiring kato pencil speech ye yk na. Just so you know naminaw ko tarong kay tsada kayg speech 😌.

I don't really know how to make msg I think sapat na yan, I don't know rin what to wish you but I wish u more primos ✨✨ especially this summer event AND SA RERUN NI CITLALI probably sa 5.8, sana makuha natin, bro skipped me last banner 🥀 but got her weapon smh.

I'd heard your name since 1st grade at IES, Shalaine, but wala gyud ko kita saimong face sukad. 😭 Then, in 7th grade, I was genuinely surprised that THE Shalaine Berludo (chareth oa) would be my classmate. Na-pressure ko baks kay ang top student sa IES was suddenly in my class.

Despite us never being close, I've always held a secret, platonic admiration for you, dai. I admire how you articulate your words with a grace I can't even fathom to write. Your intelligence, your humor, your thoughtfulness, your pakikitungo towards others, and the way you carry yourself. They're traits that only few people possess.

I also want to sincerely thank you for allowing me into spaces I never imagined I'd enter. You taught me a lot, perhaps more than you realize. 😭

As you celebrate your legality, I wish you nothing but the best in life! May all your dreams become a reality, one by one. Laban future nars! Mwa mwa 🩷🎂

Through the years, you have always given your all and your best to the many hats you wore, and hats off to you for being amazing in each of them.

On your birthday, I have nothing but love and a whole lot of best wishes as you step into another phase of your life. Don't allow expectations from people hold you back; instead, live and breathe the way you want to.

Keep on moving and reaching, and be that power cord everyone's talking about.

I cannot wait to cheer you on to what lies ahead for you. All the best and once again happy birthday, Shalainability! 🎉🫶🏽🥰 I love you! 😘

I remember hearing your name back in eleventh grade, a passing mention from a mutual senior we both had. I was buzzing with curiosity just from that mention because the idea of being in a new environment had been daunting, and your name was the only thing that felt familiar at that time as a new student.

God didn't prepare me the moment I met you.

You were like a ray of sunshine after the morning rain, a warmth that almost scared me for the briefest moment in time.

Shalaine, I think you've cemented yourself into my memories—inked as a person who continues to inspire me and as someone that has made my two years bearable. I'm glad that we ended up as respective members of the edboard, despite the challenges we faced, it still ended up being a time that bonded our group.

You made these two years memorable with how approachable and easy it is to talk to you. I'm glad to say that I had the blessing to have met such a wonderful person.

I hope you know that you've been an inspiration, while there have been times of doubt with your own capabilities—you still pushed, showing up and proving that you can do it. You have been a constant presence that has persistently brought me back up into the present world when the noise seems to overwhelm me.

Happy 18th birthday, Shal! May this birthday remind you of the people who care, who keep you in their hearts, and the unwavering support we have for you. No matter where life brings you, I know you'll continue to shine brightly.

With love,

Paula 💌🌷

Hello Shalaine!

You might not know this, but you were actually the first Junior I felt close with during the club fair. I’ve always admired how friendly and approachable you are. Even back then, I already saw how passionate you were about journalism. I had already heard your name as the EIC of The Vanguard, and that really amazed me. It never surprised me that you could lead people—being the News Editor during our batch, editing works of people older than you?? that was just so impressive. And now, this school year, you're the AEIC naaa ?? Baby girl, you’ve come so farrrr!

I may not say it often, but I’m really proud of you. Your dedication, leadership, and drive at such a young age are so inspiringgg. I genuinely admire your love for journalism and the way you write,, I hope you continue to nurture that passion. Wishing you all the best as you enter college. You have so much ahead of you shalll, and I can’t wait to see where life takes you. 🤍

Welcome to this next stage and chapter in your life. From officially graduating from high school to reaching this milestone, you are now an adult and will soon be entering college life.

Having you as a fellow school publication member would always be a memory that we, your Titan colleagues, will cherish. I won't forget those moments when I see you standing outside the door of Sir Nap's office, and that you were afraid to go in, thinking of what he might ask you or what concerns he'll bring up. It would take me 5 minutes to convince you to get in there. (HAHAHAH!)

Happy Birthday once again, Shalaine! Wishing you all the best and many more birthdays to come.

"WELCOME TO THE CLUB!"
