happiest 22nd, my forever lodicakes!! 💟

Inevitably, we'll one day forget most of the nitty gritty of the past two years in AJMA, but one thing is for sure—I, at least, will take all the love you embraced me with, grow it exponentially, and share it with the people that have lost faith in themselves. I will forever hold you closely to my heart, for it was at my worst that *God* might've thought He'd bless me with you. How lucky.

Thank you for effortlessly being such an inherent, beautiful soul, Claire! I could go on and on, detailing the many stories I've heard from people whose lives you've so wonderfully touched, the many HR disasters your resolute heart ferociously resolved, and the many ways by which you proved selfless service and unconditional love to be true. I've always known you to be a force to be reckoned with, but you still, over and over again, manage to surprise me with the many mountains you are able to move with what I would say is your power—inspiring others to do and be better just by...simply being you.

I love you today and everyday! Happiest birthday, my VP and my friend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE :))

2022-06-16 13:35:55 UTC

To one of the AJMAns I got to become friends with way back in my freshie year HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉.

Words cannot describe how great it felt to have found a home in college and without a doubt you were one of the people who made me feel welcome in the new world and environment I was in. From that shy freshie to someone who can carry a little more conversation now it was from all the little discord moments, pick-up lines, podcasts and eventually *not AJMA* parties that helped me get to know you a lot more. I hope that as you enter a new chapter in your life you will be able to achieve your goals and most importantly enjoy each moment that passes. I will always be a message away (or in ADMU) if you need me.

I hope to see you real soon AND ENJOY YOUR DAY 💛

HAPPY TAYLOR SWIFT YEAR MS CLAIRE 💜🥳

2022-06-17 14:05:57 UTC

now that i think of it, time flies really fast but i’m so grateful to have experienced you ever since my Ateneo life. I don’t know if i mentioned this to you but you were one of the biggest reasons why i stayed and grown to love AJMA— you were passionate, driven, and most importantly kind. I got to work with you in every level and i will forever carry these with me (even the stress and crying!) because these are memories where I know someone like you genuinely cared for and supported me, even when i didn’t myself (ty for being there thru all my heartaches ;-; ). I am most grateful for your kind heart because you are able to inspire the people around you and you are so humble. I will miss you so much Claire but I am definitely excited for you to rock the world! You are really one of the best 🥰 happy happy birthday I LOVE YOU SO MUUUUCH U DONT EVEN KNOW 😘🥳❤️‍🔥 - ben

I just want to let you know how blessed I am to have a boss friend like you :3

You’re easily one of the most caring, thoughtful yet kinkiest softie I’ve ever known WAHAHAHA you have this energy that makes me people want to open up to you while looking up to you at the same time. Thank you so so much for the past 2 years in and outside of AJMA, where you really became one of my top reasons of enjoying my work and reaching my capabilities best. I love you so much and know that I always got your back ❤️

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY BOSS!

2022-06-17 15:45:41 UTC

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER (i don't tell you this because #leanneisnotaffectionate but it's very true 🥲) Honestly, you made AJMA and working in AJMA so so fun and exciting for me. I owe the comfort that pushed me to be as free and active in AJMA to you. In times when I'm scared and shy, you were always always there to guide me and just be there for me. Don't know how I'd do next school year without you :') but I'm so proud of you and I'm excited to see what the future (and outside world?) has in store for you! Thank you for believing in me and for just being so genuine and kind. I'm so grateful that I met you and I'm so proud to call you a friend. You're one of a kind and I hope you know that 😭 I love you Claire -- drunk you, awkward you, and even the 2 am version of you.

Always always always here for you. I'm a messenger (and a tequila bottle) away :p LOVE YOU CLAIRE! I hope you're happy, free, and not confused at the same time :> HAPPIEST happy ppyHA BIRTHDAY !!!

Happy Birthday, Ate Claire!!! 💙

CLAAAIRE happy birthday!! Genuinely so happy I got to know u more in my final year in college! Super funny but even as freshies I knew of u bc of how active u were in AJMA (I wasnt active in AJMA yet at the time) and I just thought that u'd be a pretty cool person to befriend so its nice that I got to do so through EB! In a span of a year through EB, I got to see how genuinely kind, driven, and overall amazing person you are and I really admire u for this!! Truly I do think that you'll get far in life esp seeing how great your character is and I just can't wait to see u do amazing things :') Hoping we get to have more solo bondings in the future and sml for u always <333 - Yana Riz

Dear Claire,

It's not every day that I meet someone with the three C's: competent, caring, and (because it's your bday) cute. There are so many things I'm grateful to you for: being my partner for a hot minute back when we were PR AVPs, a constant companion at our Matteo table, and an easy refuge when the world gets a bit tiring.

I've seen you through so many things – both achievements and trials – and for each one of them, I'm proud to call you my friend! I'll never get tired of seeing you thrive, barely survive, and get back up again because you're a lot more capable than you think. Yes, I scanned through some messages here, and you are loved because you're you.

Always choose to take the plunge! Show up for others, but never forget to show up for yourself! Because anyway, no matter how bad the fall may be, I'll be there to help you heal through another set of three C's: conversations, carpool karaokes, and as usual, endless rounds of cocktails ;)

P.S.: Absolutely can't wait for you to join the BGC corporate slavery life. We shall cope with spontaneous dinners !!!

<3 always,
Mel

Dearest Mama Claire,

Do you remember this lil gimmick? AHAHAHAH

Happiest Claireitin day! Can you believe that sometime during your bente dos sun revolutions, we got to meet? Well, here we are and I'm so happy that it turned out this way =) I'm very grateful that you were an integral part of my AJMA beginnings; always inspiring and encouraging me to take bigger and bigger leaps in my first ever org. You've always somehow managed to make every space a welcome and safe space I and many others can be comfortable in.

Well Mama, even if we weren't able to meet as students, colleagues, friends, and family on campus, I'm looking forward to the day we finally do meet face to face! Until then (and much after), know that I'll always be as supportive of you and all your endeavors as you have been with mine.

Love you lots, Claire! I wish you all the best and loveliest years ahead of you!

XOXO
Piattos "Callero"

FOR YOU, MAMA!!!

MY FAVE BANGS GIRL!

2022-06-18 08:52:22 UTC

Most people love you for your height, others for your kindness (daw?? jk), or your strong work ethic and talent even. But me, I love you for your bangs! AHAHAH but okay kidding aside (ish), what's funny was one of my first touchpoints in AJMA was when another Force officer named Claire (who had bangs also like you) and it was a subcore GA then. What struck me was when she was calling the Fin team as fun-ance and I really liked the wittiness behind it which was one of the reasons (I know kinda babaw LOL) why I love AJMAns. And I guess, fast forward to when I came back to AJMA in 2020, one of the first few people I've encountered in this new set of AJMAns was a funny bangs girl named Claire who became my fake participant also for RecWeek and have shown me the same wit and humor I love in AJMAns.

But then, (okay here comes the senti part!) aside from that super funny coincidence, I've grown to know you better and am just amazed at how passionate, kind, warm, and loving you are even in the smallest ways! I know I bully you a lot (bad!) but I am super proud at how you are able to make AJMA feel like home for other people! We may not hangout a lot outside work but I know you'll always be a kind-hearted soul (even if shady sometimes, JOKE).

We have no pic together yet (sad!! i blame it on your height JK) but I know we'll see each other soon so let's take one pero you gotta slouch so I look taller hehe but here's little baby Claire to remind people that you're not always mean I guess JK AHAH

Anyway, I know you're destined for great things and know that am always rooting for you Miss Claire Tan! Enjoy your TSwift year and as the great Doctor Taylor once said, "I see sparks fly, whenever you smile". Keep spreading positive vibes, bangs girl!

Always here for ya, love lots xx

HAPPI BIRTHDAY MS CLAIRE DEL MONTE TAN

2022-06-18 09:29:27 UTC

Gonna be honest, When I was a freshie, I did not expect that the PR AVP during one of the training sessions that I attended will be someone I'd considered to be a part of my life. 🧡

Thank you so much for creating an amazing atmosphere here in AJMA (ESPECIALLY THIS PAST YEAR SUPER), and for also just being a genuinely good person. You have no idea how much of an impact you're going to leave in AJMA, and how much you've inspired people to always be true to oneself's.

You're amazing, and I am betting on my life savings that you are gonna do so many great things in the future. Just know that I always gotchu if ever you need anything from me.

ay and also cupnoodles curry hehehe

Happy Birthday Claire. I’m tamad to write a long message. So here’s some advice as someone who graduated last year.

1. Have fun in the smallest things.
2. It’s okay to not know what you want to do in the future. What’s important is now.
3. If you want change, start small. Big things happen later.

Happiest birthday Claire! FYI hope you got my Wildflour box lol! Lmk if you got it!

Happy Birthday Claire Tan! I just want to say thank you for everything. We've been through a lot together from freshies, to aspiring AVPs, then finally working together in HR for the last two years. You've been one of the people that have really supported me and been there for me throughout college, and I just wanna say that I really appreciate you and think of you as one of my best friends! You deserve the best, so I really hope you enjoy your day.

I can't wait to have so much more fun moments, discord calls, random hangouts, kwentos, sabog moments, inumans, and lots more fun memories with you!

Again, happy birthday! I really hope you have the best day possible!

YOU SUCK CLAIRE TAN.

2022-06-18 15:19:58 UTC

Happy birthday bosswoman claire tan. Even if I vanished halfway in the SY, I appreciate all the effort and time you gave AJMA this year! From asking you to help me with my HR audit to always being available to help the department with inquiries and questions. I know you will do well wherever you go (stay with tiktok na) because of how dedicated you are to your work while also ensuring proper and genuine connections with your colleagues. Continue to do what you do, and keep being a role model to many of us (not me). God bless, and I hope to see you drunk!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIREEE

To one of my OGs in AJMA, Happy birthday!!

I am so grateful I got to meet and got closer to you :)) You are easily one of AJMA's friendliest faces and definitely one the biggest reasons as to why I stayed in AJMA. Thank you for all the memories, lessons, and kwento that we shared throughout my stay in Ateneo! You have left a huge impact in my life and I am sure that you will affect so many people around you in the future.

Keep being amazing and have lots of fun today, because you deserve it!! To more parties, inuman, and sponti hangouts!!
