(I’m a cynic and forever will be. I still believe that Valentine’s day was made as an excuse to spend money on useless things and for the unfortunate singles to sulk. BUT, I was reminded earlier that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for those with significant others, in fact its for everyone. So here are my thanks to those people who fill my life with love and laughter. I’m alone this Vday but because of these people, I am not lonely)

Zena- Tsong! We’re actually in college already:) Thank you for keeping in touch, I really appreciate you still being there for me and checking up on me from time to time. Tried and tested, twolet ka talaga:-) Kailan date natin ha?!

Karla- The distance didn’t maim our friendship, it even brought us closer. Thanks for confiding in me and for the testimonials I’m always giddy to get.:-) You’re coming home soon! YES! Manila’s been missing you and so have I!:-)

Ashley- ASHLEY JUDD, HUH? I was going through your letters about a month ago and I can’t help but laugh about the things we used to talk about. How shallow could we get huh? Haha! I miss you!

CALL ME SOON, I MISS YOU!:-)

Candice- So, we never really got to see each other na?! Grrr. I miss you;-) And I miss the good old orange days. Haaay, when did we grow up anyway and why did it happen so fast? We’re turning 18 soon! *sigh* Thank you so much for talking to me that one time that I really needed someone. Thank you for still being the same old you. When I talk to you, its as if I’m twelve again.:-) I am blessed to have a friend as wonderful as you.:-)

Daisy- Chimangas! I am so sorry I don’t get to call anymore.:-( School’s been really hectic, more hectic than usual. I miss your kwentos na (how’s nico?

You are a blessing in my life.:-) I really appreciate you opening up to me and sharing all the its and bits of your life.:-) Our Soeurs’ Day Out is still pending, we MUST MUST see each other soon.:-) I love you soeur!

DUO!- WHOA! Where do I even start? Gash. You’ve been the best friend I never had (aww… gush gush). I know right now we’re experiencing bumps in the road (not bumps elsewhere! Huh, what are you thinking of ha? Hehe) but I know this would only strengthen our friendship. Thank you so much for everything- chocokak, new songs, burnt cds, letters, galaxy chocolates, cute boyfriend pictures (my Nathan picture is in my planner), diet methods (whoops, secret’s out haha) and secrets. Thank you for being such an amazing DUO!:-) I am so blessed to have a sister, a co-disser, a co- basketball fanatic (you should watch with me soon) and a bestfriend all rolled into one.:-) Our chocokaklandia dreams shall come true soon.:-) Loveya duo.:-)

Carl- for spying for me. Haha.:-) As far as younger brothers go, you aren’t that bad. Haha.:-) Get rid of the faulty mood swings or else you’ll turn into me. Haha. 🙂 thanks for being cool my little brother and I know you don’t tattle on me ALL THE TIME, just half of it. Oh and please let me use the landline every once in awhile, I actually get phone calls you know. Haha. I love you and you will always be my baby. 🙂

Ate- thank you for all the things you send! Haha! 🙂 I am so spoiled! Hehe.:-) Thanks for answering my emails all the time, I know some of them can be pretty lengthy! I miss you, please come home soon OR I hope I visit you there soon. Come home for my 18th!:-) I love you!

Kuya- haay. Where do I even start? Thanks for being my inspiration, you have been that idol my entire life and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon.:-) I love you and come home again, we didn’t get to spend a lot of time the last time you were here! Hehe:-)

MY DEAR PARENTS- I love you both. Thank you for EVERYTHING. I am so not going to enumerate EVERYTHING that I want to thank you for because I know you guys know them already. I am so blessed to have parents like you, its not a perfect relationship but I know you guys love me to death and that alone is enough.:-) The both of you inspire me to do better in all aspects of my life. Okay, I am stopping now this is too mushy- even for me.:-) Love you both oh so much. 🙂

TO everyone else who I may have forgotten, forgive me, I may have forgotten you but I don’t love you any less. You know me, I feel older than Sir Lewis most of the time because I keep forgetting things. 🙂

TO those of you who actually have someone this season, I hate you, break away from it, you need your freedom… I’M JUST KIDDING!:-p What I’m trying to say is actually the opposite, take care of that relationship, you don’t know how many people wish they had it. Don’t ruin it because of something totally random, cherish it. 🙂 Go celebrate Valentine’s Day 2006 in the mushiest way possible (and be included on the list of people I want to whack in the head because of too much PDA- ewww…KIDDING again. Okay, half kidding)

And TO those of you who don’t have anyone: Join the club! HAHA. Anyway, don’t worry, don’t frown it’s a wonderful world and there are other ways to share the love( take it from me, kidding again) 🙂 I really don’t need to tell you that there’s someone out there because I know you’ve heard it before. Enjoy this season despite the feeling of animosity felt towards those people all kishy-kishy and surrounded by all of those roses/chocolates. Even if it seems like no one shares your pain, be optimistic and trust in the fact that: YES THERE ARE PEOPLE LONELY FOR THE 18TH VALENTINE’S DAY IN A ROW! Haha!:-p

Seriously, live to love guys:-) and just like what I told Jen… someday, it will all be worth the wait:-) I love you guys:-) Enjoy it:-)
