"For The Birthday Boy Who Never Forget"
There's a saying that goes,
you will never know who will
become your friends.
Yes, I do believe in that. Who'd have thought that I will gain one of the best person one can ever have? I do have a lot of friends, some of them just come and go while others stay. And for me to have this special guy. It is really a blessing. Yep, he is a very special guy. He is unique, smart and strong... a real brave heart.
When I first met him, in my eyes he is a shy boy. The first person who introduced me to him is our Filipino teacher Mrs. Sauro. We are inside the school's biology laboratory, not because we are having science activities or so. We are occupying the room for the school journalism writing contest. Yes, me and my kambal Ann Mae were forced to join the contest too. This guy and me were not classmates. We are in the same grade level, but he is in section A. The class for the fast learners. I belong to the other lower section back then.
We often met out side the classroom but I can't remember if we were actually talking back then. We are considered as acquintances during that time. Not until I was transferred to Section A during my third year in high school. We became classmates. And not just classmates, we became friends. Then, I've just realize that this shy boy I used to know is not really that shy when it comes to friends. He laughs at silly jokes, he is really smart, he is someone whom you can asked help with. In short, he is really versatile.
He is the first person aside off course from my kambal whom I've opened my first crush and love... hahaha, he knows everything. I can't hide from him. I can consider this guy as my guy bestfriend. You can tell him your problems and he will help you sort it out.
He is someone you can really jam with. He knows about animes, this is our best topic before. Although our relationship is not perfect, we also commit mistakes and often hurt each other. There is even a time i remembered when we have this little fight way back high school. I think that is during our Filipino subject. We're told to draw something on a bondpaper and since this guy is sitting behind me so when I look at his drawing, I point out a scarecrow. And that isn't supposedly a scarecrow but I guess it is a magsasaka or I don't know. Until now pala-isipan pa rin sa akin ang bagay na iyon. But nevertheless, everything was settled back then.
After entering college, we literally part ways. We went to our respective universities and colleges. Our only means of communication is through cellphone and facebook. But I guess it is facebook because we rarely text. It's either we dont have load, we dont have the time, we are both busy with school works and school activities or we are busy meddling with our respective lives. Everything really change.
Gone with the old me and him... everything did change for the better. We learned to take responsibility, especially this guy. He even became the school's governer (O_o) so proud of him. And then, he even experienced having a girlfriend!!! But the relationship didn't last because this special guy of mine know who will be the best person whom he wants to be with forever. eheheh...
After four years in college, he found work and I went to other school to take another degree. But then, the constant communication was not gone. We texts and even hang out.... SM, Gaisano Mactan, Gaisano grandmall, in Jerlyn's house, or in my house with me, him, Aiza and of course Jerlyn. And of course our beloved mommy Aila who have no baby Nate, our inaanak... yep, we already have our inaanak and I'm proud to say that we are still in group. That's how strong our friendship is.
Back to this special guy,.. he will celebrate his 22nd birthday this coming November seven. I dont know if I can post this blog before that date but I guess since I am busy doing nothing... playing tetris and reading manga, it might be impossible for me to post on that date. So, as birthday gift... I am poor this is the only thing i can offer.... :') I made this blog entry for him to reminisce our past together... hahahaha....
To the sweetest person I knew,... Happy birthday Lee Yong An slash Leo Esmalin. You may have the best years ahead of you. Age does increase but everything is settled in our mindset. Remember, we will always be forever 21.
Thank you very much for the time. For all the libres. For listening to my nonsense hinanaing in my life. For listening to my secrets na hindi naman talaga secret. For being a good friend...
Ang dami mong role sa buhay ko. If I can only grant one wish, If only I have the power. You already know what will I do to make you have and complete.
Happy Birthday and I wish you all the best in life!!! Mwahhhh!!!
