yours truly, yrueji.

I can't express through words how much you mean to me. You were always there when I needed you, and you never failed to let me know that I'm part of those people who's important to you. You always made sure that I'm heard whenever I'm saying something, and you always made sure that I'm seen. That's why I am always thankful of your presence and kind of proud of myself because I found someone like you.

Despite me being unable to say all of the things I want to say to you. We both know that deep down, we can feel each other's presence, warmth and the unsaid words. I know you'll understand how much I love you, not just as my best friend but also as my sister. Babe, you deserve all of the good things that this world could give. And in case that it's not enough, you know how me and Rei are always willing to sacrifice everything and anything for you, just to see you smile.

I can't wait to see you glowing with so much happiness. And all I can promise right now is that I'll be with you on your journey on achieving it. I'm proud of you and will always be proud of you. I love you so much! Let's keep on celebrating your birthday until we're old.

Thank you for existing, Ate. Alam mo, sobrang happy and thankful ako kasi naging ate kita, kahit hindi tayo magkadugo. I'm so happy that I got a chance to know you. I'm thankful, Ate, that you exist. Ate, I love how hardworking you are. I'm so proud of you for being strong. Thank you for taking care of us, Ate. Thank you for always being there for us. Ikaw yung takbuhan namin kapag sobrang bigat na ng problema, and we're happy na nandiyan ka always for us. You bring us comfort. Sobrang gaan sa pakiramdam kapag nandiyan ka, Ate. Sobrang sarap ng feeling na may nasusumbungan ako. Ikaw yung kakampi ko kapag pinapagalitan ako. YOU'RE THE BEST! Ate, I really want to meet you and hug you tightly because you deserve it. I want to tap you and tell you how proud I am of you. You are everything to us. We can't lose you.

Ate, we're always here for you. Hindi ka namin iiwan. I'm always here for you, Ate. I'm always available para sayo and para sainyo. Lagi lang akong nandito. Always and forever! God is always here for you, Ate. He's number one. When everything gets heavy, He's there to hold you and help you, Ate. He loves you. God loves you. Jesus loves you. Don't let the world destroy you, Ate. Don't let them win against you. You have such a beautiful soul, Ate. I'm one of the witnesses. Today is your day, Ate! I hope you enjoy it because it's so special—the day you were born. We're all so thankful to your parents for bringing you into this world and into our lives. Ate, please be strong for yourself. I love you. Happy birthday, Ate! Mwuapsss!

-Your PINAKA. Pinaka-cute, pinaka-mabango, pinaka-pretty, pinaka-mabait na kapatid.

Before anything else, we are truly grateful for your existence. Thank you for simply existing. Thank you for your warmth and patience when it comes to dealing with us HEHE. All those roles you play in our lives, they’re only glimpses of who you are. I am truly grateful that life allowed us to cross paths. From being strangers to friends, and now, someone I could only describe as my sister—one that I did not expect, but somehow ended up being one of the best people I call one of my friends. Angkas is beyond lucky to have you.

We know the past few weeks haven’t always been the kindest to you. We know there were days that felt too heavy. But still, you chose to show up—even when things are hard. You were always there despite everything. You are so brave for that, ate. I hope that for this wonderful day of yours, you get to enjoy every bit of it and at least let you take a break from all the chaos in your life. You have been strong for so many, so let us be there for you on this very special day and the following years. Take yourself out on a date or give yourself that thing you have been really wanting to buy. Be gentle to yourself. You deserve every bit of softness this world has to offer. If not, I hope at the very least—it pauses for you today. I hope it lets you breathe, laugh, rest, and remember that even on days you feel dim, there are a lot of people (who might not be always vocal about it) who will have your back and show you how much of a bright person you are.

Please take care of yourself, ate. Like I always say, your well-being and health should be your priority above everything. I/we are endlessly thankful for the genuine love you so freely share to us. I hope that even in the smallest ways I can, to give back the same kindness. I am always here po, just tap me whenever you want. I will never get tired of our chikahans sa gc, so I hope we can chit chat foreverr aaa. I love you ate, let’s create more memories po. I am so proud of you po always. You’re doing well, ate I hope you know that. Enjoy your day po. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYY! Same time next year? Cheers to another year yahooo!! - Sai

First of all, anong handa mo? may ice cream ka? spaghetti? shanghai? /j HAHAHAHAAHAH. Ito na talaga, I just want to say na HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOTHER TIA! MOTHER NG LAHAT. I hope na nag e-enjoy ka ngayon with your loved ones (pwede mo ring i-include si ano). Kung hindi ka nag e-enjoy ngayon, ay hindi pwede yan, magdadabog ako 😆. I also want to say na we are so grateful for your existence (pasabi kila tita at tito na thank you rin sa pag gawa sayo HAHAHAHAHA). Thank you so much kasi lagi kang nandyan para sakin o para sa angkas. You know what? Noong time na walang wala na talaga akong pag-asa na mabuo ang Angkas, kasi ‘di ba sobrang inactive na ng gc, patay na patay na yung gc, sobrang ubos na ubos na yung pag-asa ko na mabubuo ulit tayo, siguro nga kung hindi rin dahil sayo baka tuluyan na mawala ang Angkas, isa ka sa naging rason bakit nabuo ulit tayo, isa ka sa naging rason bakit nagkaroon ulit ako ng pag-asang mabubuo ulit ang Angkas. And thank you for not giving up, thank you for giving me hope, Tia. And also I'm really really really thankful sayo dahil noong mga times na nangungulila ako sa Angkas, especially sa mga batang makukulit, ikaw yung naging tulay para malaman ko na okay lang sila, ikaw yung naging tulay para makausap ko ulit sila, pakiramdam ko nga updated pa rin ako sa mga nangyayari sa mga bata kahit na hindi kami masyadong nag-uusap, and dahil sayo yon, tinulungan mo ko para hindi mawala yung connection ko sa mga bata. Thank you rin kasi every time na inaasar ko yung mga bata, ikaw yung laging nandyan na ready na suyuin sila HAHAHAHAHAAHAH (sensya na hindi kasi ako marunong manuyo, mang-asar lang)😂. Sana huwag kang mapagod na suyuin sila, kasi hindi ako napapagod na asarin sila hehehe, parang ikaw yung rainbow kapag tapos na yung bagyo HAHAHAHAHAAH 🤗. And also thank you sa mga araw na when I need someone to talk to kasi sobrang bigat na, ikaw yung laging nandyan, handang makinig sa mga rants ko, sa mga problema ko sa buhay at sa bahay, pati nga siguro problema ko sa pag-stop ko sa acads alam mo rin, alam mo ba na takot na takot akong mag open up regarding sa pag-stop ko sa pag-aaral kasi takot akong ma-judge dahil sa na experience ko before, but you? hindi mo ko jinudge, pinaramdam mo sakin na okay lang yon, na valid yung naging reasons ko kung bakit ako nag stop, and thank you for not invalidating me. And thank you for listening sa mga walang kwentang chismis ko sayo, yung mga chismis na alam naman nating hindi relevant sa buhay natin pero syempre pabor sayo yon, chismis? sinong aayaw sa chismis? syempre wala, chismis na yan eh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ikaw yung naging chika buddy ko, ang dami ng chismis na dumaan satin, ang daming chismis na shinare natin sa isa't-isa, and alam ko na madami pang chismis ang pag-uusapan natin, basta alam mo na yon, kapag may chismis ka share mo lang sakin, kapag naubusan na tayo ng teas, willing naman akong gumawa 😉. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Pagod ka na ba magbasa? sobrang haba na ba? sus kulang pa yan, yung napakahaba ngang call out posts nababasa mo, ito pa kaya HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂. Thank you rin sa mga words, sa mga advices na binibigay mo sakin/samin every time na may mga serious talk tayo every soft hours natin (hala may ganon pala tayo?) sobrang na a-appreciate namin yung mga advices na binibigay mo samin. And you know what? thankful din ako kasi every time na need kita para magpataboy ng alam mo na HAHAHAHAHAHA lagi kang nandyan, ready na gumawa ng eksena, naks naman the best director at scriptwriter talaga eh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA one call away talaga sa mga ganyang bagay din. I also appreciate how you yap at me, na a-appreciate ko yung pag o-open up mo ng mga bagay na nangyayari sayo, maski nga mga nangyayari sa work mo alam ko HAHAHAHAHAHA, na appreciate ko lahat yon dahil pakiramdam ko na pinagkakatiwalaan mo talaga ako, dahil hindi ka nag he-hesitate na i-open lahat ng yon, thank you for trusting me that much, Tia.

I know may mga struggles ka sa buhay na hindi mo ino-open samin, kasi alam kong iniisip mo na ayaw mo lang makadagdad sa iisipin namin, but always remember na we are always here for you, especially me, kung hindi mo na kaya yung bigat, nandito lang ako always and willing makinig sa mga rants mo, lagi akong libre kapag kailangan mo 😉. Soon na lang yung iinom ng kape/milktea habang pinag-uusapan ang problema sa buhay, sa ngayon through chats nalang muna HAHAHAHAHAHA. And I just want you to know na sobrang proud na proud ako sayo, sobrang proud ako sayo dahil sobrang tatag mo, sobrang proud ako sa mga bagay na ginagawa mo sakin, sa angkas, and especially sa family mo, hindi man nakikita ng iba yon pero ako? kitang kita ko, nakikita ko lahat ng ginagawa mo, nakikita ko lahat ng sacrifices mo, and also ramdam ko kung gaano mo pinapahalagahan yung mga taong nasa paligid mo. You're so "Ate Coded." talaga, lalong lalo na pagdating sa mga bata, sobrang protective me, sobrang supportive, lagi kang nandyan para sa kanila, and I'm sure na they are so grateful na ikaw yung naging ate nila. Ewan ko kung ilang beses ko na ba ‘tong nasabi sayo pero I didn't expect talaga na magkakaroon and mabubuo yung ganitong friendship, akala ko ordinaryong tropahan lang talaga na ilang araw lang magiging inactive agad HAHAHAHAHAHA. And I never expected na isa ka sa pinaka-magiging close ko, naging best friend kita na hindi ko inaasahan, and I never regret na nangyari yon. No words can express how grateful I am to have you, your existence means a lot to me, to us.

Basta alam mo na ha, if need mo ko para magpataboy ulit ng masamang spirit, nandito lang ako HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤗. Ewan ko kung nasabi ko na lahat, pakiramdam ko kasi hindi pa pero kasi medyo mahaba-haba na ‘tong nasasabi ko. We are really bless na we have you sa buhay namin, I hope nag e-enjoy ka today. Set aside muna yang mga problema na yan, enjoy enjoy muna sa ngayon HAHAHAHAHAHA. Happy Birthday again, Tia! Uhmm'ed I think shot soon? joke HAHAHAAHAHAHA see you soon! hindi ko man nasasabi ‘to but I love you and thank you again sa lahat! 🫶🏻

When it comes to love, hmmm. You don't just deserve a genuine love, but a love that will make them measure immeasurable things to prove their feelings for you. A love that will stand between heaven and earth for you.

Happiest birthday again, atty. Please enjoy your day, and we will meet soon, okay?

Life is messy and cruel; we may not protect you from all the pain that this world will give you, but one thing I know for sure, you will never face it alone. We are always here on your side, cheering the loudest for your success because you have a beautiful future waiting for someone as genuine as you. I love you very much! - Rei
