castrorafie — 2021-06-22 13:05:51 UTC

here's some proof na "glow up" is real. the cringe is real also. AAAAH, how far we've come, ladies!

ANG CUTE NATIN DITO <3

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:08:02 UTC

Last day ng junior year days natin. Wala pa masyadong bakas ng stress at paghihirap sa buhay :")

FAMDAY 2015

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 13:09:04 UTC

Dito nagsimula yung mandatory famday trio pics natin. Also, look at that. Nagsisimula na glow up natin.

Also, again, yung confusion ko (CB) sa 2015 timeline pls. THE HAIR DIFFERENCE!

Dearest Beatriz Marie Cruz,

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 13:10:25 UTC

(Wow, jowa ang dating?) Naubusan na kami ng birthday gift ideas at this point.

MOVING UP 2016.

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:12:17 UTC

The only decent picture of us three (DURING A MILESTONE??? IN OUR LIFE??? So, totoo pala yung you run out of pictures with your best friends as you grow closer and closer.

PARTY GIRLS, AYE!

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:12:20 UTC

Hbd, rafie maraming salamat sa breakout and clown fears na nakuha naming lahat <3

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:13:21 UTC

So, we decided to make this for you. It's supposed to be a rough timeline of events (relevant to us hehe). Sana maenjoy mo going through them the same way we enjoyed making it. Grabe yung senti feels and yung "OMG THIS/THAT HAPPENED" moments.

WITH THAT SAID...

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:16:06 UTC

first ever hangout sa bahay ni bea :D

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 13:16:21 UTC

this is the first of all the many times na nakakapunta kami sa house mo either para mag-binge watch ng movies, pizza date (usually yellow cab or shakeys HAHA), at syempre magjamming 😗

Sadly,

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:25:01 UTC

wala tayong pic ng pinaka important event sa relationship nating tatlo: October 2012, Famday. However, it's only right that we recognize the sentiments behind it hehe

BANDFEST: 2013, i think this is our first pic ever?

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 13:29:04 UTC

Little did we know, this pic will carry some pretty good memories in the future. AAAAH, how far we've come, ladies!

Ba't kaya iba yung suot ni Rafie and Christine? 'Yan yung bumili pa kami ng tops para "kul" tapos nagpalit kami before the concert. Then, we met IV of Spades. Kul.

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 15:46:38 UTC

bea.

chrstnbrrso — 2021-06-22 15:47:34 UTC

it’s been 9 years of friendship with you yet it still seems like it was just yesterday nung sumakay tayong dalawa sa anchor’s away famday 2012. it was a /moment/. sana it will always feel like this, na having you in my little bits of imagined future is natural. i honestly can’t imagine not having you in a lot of other milestones in our lives. kaya rin siguro ang short pa ng 9 years for me, kasi alam ko na at least for 30 more years nandun ka parin sa bigger picture ng buhay ko.

i’m not going to make this unnecessarily long since you already know how much i love and appreciate you. not only for you being a person i know i can rely on, but also for being a person i learn from. you are a spectrum of colors, half of which i’ve seen and gotten to know. i can’t wait to see more if it in the future and watch you grow into a person that you can finally say you are proud of with your whole heart and mind. thank you for being my role model in life.

i love you, bea cruz! i’ll see you soonest.

-your aurora (wenk)

Kaya...eto muna gawing placeholder :) HAHAHAHA

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 15:49:23 UTC

Sobrang nene, grabe di ko kineri 😩

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 15:49:39 UTC

But this only goes to show how long you've been part of both our lives :(

BTS nung pag-edit natin ng birthday template for Christine :(

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 15:55:02 UTC

To my wifezilla (a.k.a. Asawa ko),

castrorafie — 2021-06-22 15:56:44 UTC

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIZTUR! 😗 Halos more than 10 times na ata kita grineet at ginawan ng birthday greeting in my entire lifetime and it makes me super sentimental how the content of those greetings have evolved over time 🙁. You've always been a ray of sunshine and source ng lahat ng mga nene/childhood days ko :C and dahil dun conversations and moments with you will always feel like home. Honestly, sa puntong ito namimindblock na ako sa sasabihin dahil feeling ko nasabi ko na lahat lahat (pati dun sa video HAHA ;)...AND THAT SAYS A LOT on how you're one of the people na I would turn to for whatever HAHAHA.

For your 22nd year, alam kong andami mong goals and plans that you've set for yourself (senior year, thesis, and soon magtratrabaho na kayo ni christine) and I one hundred percent believe na kayang kaya mo yan abutin hehehe I can't wait to be there to cheer and support you for those moments to come. D: LABYU SIZ PAULIT ULIT NALANG MGA SINASABI KO but alam mo na yarn :( mahal na mahal kiTA SAGAD AND FOREVER WILL BE THERE BY YOUR SIDE TALAGA FOR EVERYTHING 😌✌️
