Dearest Ivic,
Happy happy birthday! I have always wanted to write to you
or to write something about you but for some reason, I keep putting it off.
I mean, what is there to write, really? We haven’t really lost
in touch and we’ve always been a part of each other’s life for as long as I can
remember.
I don’t even recall how we started being friends. Just
that you were Jho’s friend na laging tumatabi samin sa last row. You have been
a constant presence in my life ever since. Not that I am complaining, of course^^
I remember you as this girl who wouldn’t take s*** from anybody. You were smart and cool and you would bring Krispy kreme plain donuts sa journ and make everybody happy.
I just love our late night talks about life, love, the IQ of pigs, the pain of crabs, and these days stories about your baby and my dog. 😁
I remember you when I hear Matchbox twenty's 'little wonders,' and Aslyn's 'That's when I love you.'
Then there's 'The alchemist' and some other books of Paulo Coelho.
And your lovelife... boy oh boy. Anyway, I loved being beside you on that roller coaster. Especially because you got Tobi in the end.
For that, I am genuinely very happy for you.
And although I feel like I've lost so much of myself, you are still there. Somehow, I feel like my desire to stay in your life helps me keep whatever's still good in me.
I don't know how you manage to always check on me , like talagang consistent for about fifteen years now. Kahit yung reply natin mga days or weeks later. 😁
All of this to say that I'm happy you are a big part of my life. And that this day always means a lot to me.
XOXO,
Judy ❤️
