Dear Chu

Posting this Birthday appreciation letter I wrote for Carmen 1 year ago :)

Dear Chu,

You know that you’re one of the very few closest friends that I’ve allowed to really infiltrate my private life (and my heart for that matter). You know the depths of my heart next to God. Thank you for digging into my thoughts and allowing me to understand what they really mean. Trully, you’ve known me. You know what my actions mean. You recognize the feelings my expressions show. You discern even the things that my own heart is trying to keep from myself. Sometimes I can just wish that you make decisions for me. Haha. But of course I won’t let you, because you make decisions very slooow.

Thank you for the countless nights and overnights we’ve spent together, whether talking (your talking to be accurate), listening (that’s me), watching something that puzzles our heads, or just sleeping to regain strength from whatever fun activity/hang-out we had for the night. Thanks for sharing your room to me... It has kind of become a "city of refuge" for me. :)

You can speak words with tones that can pierce my soul yet I won’t get offended. But I’m thankful, too that we have that kind of special treatment to each other that most people cannot understand. ^_^

And of course how can I forget to thank you for having a great part of the change that happened to me over the years? I think I mean physical change. Haha I won't elaborate. ;) Well thank you for letting me better appreciate my femininity. :P

Thank you for almost four years of sincere friendship. We’ve been friends through our worsts and bests. I dearly pray to God that He’ll extend greatly our time together and that you will be always just around. Although I know that reality can bring us apart, let’s not allow distance to separate our God-bridged lives. I’m happy that someday in heaven, we can just sit together while enjoying the presence of God.

There surely are a million more to thank you about but let's just reserve that for the future. Love you Chu! When I marry, you’ll be my Wedding Planner-Organizer. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. :P But ofcourse, your wedding first. ;)

P.S: I didn’t want to let your birthday pass without me giving you a personal surprise. Hope you like the collage. I’m sure you will... Ganda ko eh. Hahahappy Birthday ulit! See you!
