Rhyss/ Tahks,
Hi, how are you doing? I hope everything is fine out there. I wrote this letter to you for two main reasons: first is to say how much I love you, and second is to say how much I miss you and want to be with you.
Our History
Elementary
I remember the first time I saw you, that was back at our pre-elementary graduation practice at our school before. You are at the other branch of our school, so that was the first time I saw you (I think you were awarded best in reading then). That time, I never had an idea that after 15 years, you will be my best friend to date.
We became classmates in 2nd grade, but we did not had the chance to talk that much because I was seated at the first row while you were seated at the third or fourth. But I always remember that you were the most industrious cleaner for Friday. You always sweep the floor with your P.E. uniform and a brown boots. Haha
We became classmates again on the 4th grade. That’s where we had a chance to talk often, because you were elected the class president while I was elected vice president, beating Clare(my first love.haha) for 2 or 4 points. I think we also belong to the same Wednesday Cleaners group.
At the same grade, I remembered me being hated by your many admirers, because there’s a gossip lingering that you had a crush on me. This is my first time to ask this, was that true? J
It was grade 5 when we became seatmates and had a chance to exchange family backgrounds, likes, dislikes and all that. We were at the third row, second to the last, and seated in front of us were Sheena and Ray.I even invited you at Nico's christening, but you did not came. You also went to our home to help with my assignment and help me bathe joyce. Did you remember that?
It was grade 6 when I remembered that I had a crush on you. I told that to you but we became aloof to each other. Hahahaha That’s I diverted my crush to Jessica. Hahaha
High School
We were the only two to make it together in science high school from our elementary school. I think that’s one factor that made us somehow closer. I remember we told everyone in our freshman year that we were cousins. Haha And believed us! J
High school, I guess, was really fast for us. I didn’t have the means to treat you for a coffee, or even to ask you for a movie date. On the other hand, your attention was diverted to Raffy, your first boy friend (Amiel and RR were puppy love of course.haha).
But this incident in high school was the most memorable for me so far. We were about to graduate when Ma’am Mye prepared a sort of activity then. The activity was to answer this question “If 4-Galilei is in a ship, and ship is about to drown, who will you save first”. Oh gee, I can’t think of anyone else but you. But at the same time I was nervous that no one will save me first, but you stood up and said, that it is me that you’re gonna save. J
I remember my exact line then, here it is “Yung mga kaibigan parang tsokolate yan, may mga hershey’s, toblerone at iba pa, pero uuwi ka pa din sa tsoknat mo. Si Rhyss kasi siya yung pakiramdam kong iiwan ako ng lahat, pero siya yung magstay para di ako mag-isa”. I have a question to ask, if Raffy was in 4-Galilei then, would you still pick me first?haha
Times That I Wish We Could Spend Together
You know my dad and my mom have a very well-compensated work today, I and koyang Carlo already graduated from college. I have work; in short, I’m in my golden years now. But I’m sad to the fact that here I am, enjoying my youth while my best friend seemed skipping her must-be-golden-years. The more sad fact about this one is that…kapilan tin naku panlibring kape, kapilan tin nakung panglibri kekang sine… edanaka man kayabe.
As much as I want to text you for a coffee date for weekends, for my stresses and your stresses relieved… As much as want you to have a sleep-over at our house, joining us in dinner.. As much as I want to take pictures of us two together… and as much as I want to have a one-on-one shot session with you… But I just can’t.
It’s not anyone’s fault that you flew overseas for a living. Actually I applaud you for that, and you made me proud to stand up for your family, but I just can’t help to cry over the times that I wish we were together.
Sabi ku pin, patse tinud kung lotto, bayaran ko ngan reng utang mu (nakbagan nayni!haha) tapus paulyan dana ka keni. Banta naman takman mu ing biye na alakton mu dahil ing keng pagiging mung malugud a anak kareng pengari mu. Tang biye gigimick tamumu. Tang enaka magobra.Kauli mu, ala nakang isipan. Eka migaganaka, taya kung lotto para keka.
TO MY BEST FRIEND
I wish someday you and I have the chance to catch up personally. Not just by chat or facebook. Pulisan muna ing sipun mung tutulu. Stuna ing drama.
This letter is not to pressure you to go home (actually.haha), but this is the only way that I could say how much I love you and how I much I want to be with you. That with all of the 6 billion people in this world, I’m the last person to leave you. Pakilaban dakang laban dakang patayan nimal!
Try to remember this, time will come, I will see you again, hug you so tight, I’ll kiss you on the cheek and say “ATLAST”. Let’s dream together for that day ok? Have a good day.
Love and Always
Paul/ Poops
