Vivian. Viviana. Pennywise. Byangiee maeee. Ibyang. Apurdz. Maria Ibyang. BILATRAAAA. Megamind. Badyang. Bukog. Boney bonziee. Bones 🥰 HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SA MALDITANG KUPAL!!! 🥳🎂🩷🎀 First of all... congratulations!! Another year closer sa senior citizen discount. Proud of you. Keep it up. Konti nalang. 🙏🏻 Kidding HAHAHAHAHA. I don't even know where to start because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that you're somehow very easy and very difficult to put into words at the same time. Like... imagine meeting someone so randomly. You weren't part of my plans. Wala ka sa bucket list. Hindi kita inorder sa Shopee. Tapos bigla ka nalang nandyan, looking all Pennywise with your resting maldita face, and somehow naging part... fart ng aking life 🥰. 'wag lapad atay haaa. 🙄 There are people you meet because life introduces you. Then there are people who quietly become part of your routine until one day you realize, hala... anlaki na ng space nitong ferson na 'to saking heart, this shouldn't rent free kasi nothings free in this economy. 🙂 But that's you. And I don't think I ever thanked you enough for that. Thank you for every sponty gala, every "tara" that somehow always turned into a core memory, every food trip na hindi naman talaga kailangan pero ginawa pa rin natin because why not HAHAHA. Thank you for every random conversation, every bardagulan, every tampuhan na para bang 🙄 and every laugh that made my stomach hurt. Thank you for becoming one of my comfort people without even trying... WITHOUT TRYING 😞🥹🙂 I don't think you realize how much lighter life became because you happened to be in it. And that's one of the coolest things about you. Now... since birthday mo naman, I'll try to become sentimental for approximately 45 seconds. Sulitin mo na kasi babawiin ko rin 'to mamaya... kapag di ko na trip. I'm genuinely so, so happy that you were born. Not because birthdays are automatically special, but because your life is. I hope this year becomes gentler sa' yong heart. I also hope na you never lose the little things that make you "you", the smile you give without realizing it, the kindness you show so naturally, the strength you carry even when you don't feel strong. Sometimes we become so focused on becoming "better" that we forget there's already so much beauty in who we are today. And if life ever feels heavy... I hope you'll remember that you don't always have to have everything figured out. You're allowed to grow at your own pace. You're allowed to rest. You're allowed to make mistakes. And you're allowed to begin again as many times as it takes. I wish you peace. The kind that isn't dependent on circumstances. I hope you experience moments that make you laugh until your stomach hurts. May God continue to guide every step you take, bones. May He protect your heart from things that steal your joy, strengthen you when life asks more of you than you think you can give, and remind you that His plans are always greater than our own. I pray that wherever life leads you, you'll always find reasons to keep believing, keep hoping, and keep becoming the person He created you to be. Thank you for existing, bones. Whether today feels loud or quiet, grand or simple, I hope you end it knowing that your life matters more than you probably realize (realized, realization, realist... chariz. realize, it is) and that your presence has left kindness in places you may never even know about. I hope this year surprises you in the best ways. I hope you laugh harder. Pray louder. Worry less. Take more pictures. Eat good food without saying "magtipid najud ko ugma." Find people who love you gently. And never settle for places that make you question your worth. I don't wanna tell you to "stay the same" because I don't think that's fair. You do deserve to change. You deserve to outgrow old fears. You deserve to become softer where life made you hard, stronger where life once broke you, and happier than you've ever been. So grow. Grow into someone you'll be proud of. Grow into the prayers you've been praying for. Grow into the life God has prepared for you. Just... don't grow so much that you stop being a kupal. Mag-iwan ka ng konting kakupalan. Balance baaa 🙄 And whenever life feels unfair, which it will probably be at some point... I hope you remember that you're never walking through it alone. God has always been writing your story long before you knew where it was going. Trust Him. He's not finished with you yet. Andito rin me as your guardian angel 😇 Anyway, enough drama. Birthday mo ngayon kaya bawal kang ma-stress. Ang assignment mo today ay kumain, tumawa, mag-picture, tumanggap ng gifts (ako na yung gift from above), at mag-enjoy. Thank you for existing. Thank you for showing up in my life so randomly. Thank you for being one of the best unexpected plot twists I never knew I'd be grateful for. You're genuinely one of my favorite people. Don't let that inflate your atay. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONEY BONZIEEE �
