Hallmark can’t say how happy I want you to be on your Birthday….
..so, instead of getting you the usual one-fold card, I opted for this open letter.
To the Birthday girl,
Same day last year, I was busy preparing for your birthday surprise; from stitching a grand plan with the rest of the magic girls to buying the pizza which substituted as the birthday cake. The three of us met at the lobby and Keng became the fourth guy at the last minute (thanks to him we had an instant photographer. Haha). We were all giddy like little school girls, trying to predict how your exact reaction would be like. Still, your actual facial expression plus that bang on the door beat every single prediction we made.
This year, there are no surprises, no colorful poppers to welcome you as you open the door. But in place of all those, we are now more certain of we are and who we want to be in the near future. And that’s so much better than a birthday pizza with candle drawings, right?
We’ve grown together, and we’ve grown the most in the last five years, I believe. We were there for each other's triumphs and disappointments, which felt more like a life full of triumphs, since we had each other to lean on. We’ve been together since day one, like the ultimate DAY ONE of our College lives; and I can’t dare imagine how my days in La Salle would have been had fate made a slight alteration.
Today is your birthday, and as one of the many people who find you such a blessing, this day reminds me of the many good things life offers. You are such a sweet and thoughtful person, who knows how to value family and friendship. You possess an intelligent mind that, although often belittled by its owner (tsk tsk), is able to put together so many wonderful notions. You are such a gift to the people around you, whether as a daughter, sister, and so many others of those titles. And speaking for myself, I can’t be any more grateful that you came into my life with “bestfriend” written all over the package.
Good memories. Soulmate's bday 09.
