For A Dear Friend

Dear Chicks,

I think of you today. How you've been. It's been so long since we've last saw each other. The last time i heard from you was when i was working in Taiwan, that was like thirteen years ago. Sorry i wasn't able to reply coz' i accidentally lost your address, so clumsy of me to do that. I was hoping you'd write again but you didn't. I guess you must be upset of my silence.

Lots of things happened in my life. I got married and have two kids now. How about you? I'm sure you have lots .the last time you wrote, you have three already and counting. I know you want a big family and I presume you got your wish. Knowing you, you'll move heaven and earth just to make your dreams come true.

It would be great to see you again and your family. I miss the friendship we had. We had lots of fun and memories of our freshman years in college .Remember how we used to skip classes if we don't like the teacher and hang out instead in the boardinghouse or go to the movie theater? How about locking one of our professor for showing up late in class? that was hilarious.Good he was a good sport and didn't fail us.Those were the carefree days.

I really enjoyed in your company. You were such a caring and good person. I hope you're doing well in everything you do.You'll always be one of my best friend and I treasured our friendship very much.Here's to a wish hoping that someday our paths will cross again. I will always be your friend.

Love Letter Straight from the Heart

Dear Dada,

       How time  flew  fast! Can you believe that its been nine years of togetherness since our lives collide in Yahoo Chat? Who would have thought that you are the answered prayer on that one fateful night? I really believe in the saying that, "Love happens in unexpected places and in your most unexpected moments".You erase my doubts and skepticism that love can exists in the internet coz' it really does.

    It was really unbelievable. You easily captured my heart on those three hours of non- stop talk. Maybe because we shared the same interests and passions in life. You don't believe in divorce though you've been in one, and I, too  have the same sentiments. Marriage to me is sacred and it should be kept forever. Being with you is the most exciting ride of my life. We have our ups and downs. We laugh. We cry. I get mad, and you are too, but it doesn't hinder us to love each other and besides,  it's  part of every relationship, right?Many people say that, fighting spices up ones marriage, as long as it's not brutal.  The good thing is, we don't dwell too much on our shortcomings  but accept each other with open arms.

  Nobody's perfect. I have my imperfections and you have yours. Compromising each others needs is the only way we can do to make this union last. I want to thank you for putting up with me through these years.For putting up my  childishness once in awhile, for my being a brat, as what you always say. For my actions that makes you  irritated sometimes that you want to bang your head in the wall. For preparing my food every morning though you're tired to get up and for loving me with no bounds. I feel really special and I could never ask for another husband like you! You're one in a million.

  Do you know what's the best thing you've given me? It's not the diamond jewelries or the flowers, but our  two precious  angels. They are the best gifts with no compare. We have our share of sleepless nights watching these two, feeding and changing diapers. But look how they've grown so quickly! I can't believe that Jaden will be in second grade and Jira in Kindergarten . Before we know it, they'll be in college and working and raising a family of their own.

 As we journey  together in this world, I promise that I will love you forever and that I would never leave at your side (except when I'll get mad and kick you, hahaha just kidding). For that, I promise. I love you dearly and always will.


Your Loving Wife,

Les

Dear Lazy

I know its hard to resist you when you sits in, in my being. You're like a glue that sticks and hard to get off. Why is it that you choose to bug me during my most vulnerable moments? fighting you is impossible, i might as well give in to being lazy...that's what i have become for these past days. thanks to you, for rubbing it on me.

yours,

lazybones

An Open Letter to Summer

Dear Summer,

After months of enduring the cold and driving in that slick ice, i long for you. I prayed that you'll come sooner.

Yes, you came alright but with cruel intentions, i guess. I was very excited of your coming. I picture a warm sunny weather, that we can frolic in the sun without getting burned, but what have you got for me- you unleash a blistering heat for these past days making me sweat and perspire. The sweat trickles from my forehead down to my armpit which doesn't usually happen but it does. Whats up with that? If you can only see, i'm sure you'll laugh.Now, can you understand why i'm miserable?

You're supposed to be my favorite time of year, aside from Fall, but now you keep me thinking. The once verdant green grass in our yard and the neighborhood are withered because of you. I don't want to be confined in my room, always facing the airconditioner. You're only be here for three months, so ,I want to enjoy you. Me and the kids have lots of activites in mind, but if you keep pouring this intense heat, it will all be fruitless.

I hope it's not too much to ask, but,will you please be kind enough and let this mugginess go away? I'm sure lots of people will love you for that. A mild warm summer is all i ask.

yours,

sticky

Dear Sleep

Why you always come to me so early during night? I hate you, you know.I havent' finished watching my movie and there you are beckoning my eyes to close. Thats not fair. I can't fight you but i'll find a way. just watch out. Goodnight.


yours,

sleepyhead

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

My day today is quite uneventful and i've been feeling rather dry, so let's be romantic for a while.Have you ever seen the sun rise at the first crack of dawn? from behind the towering mountains the sun peeps out shedding its first morning light.From a distance,a verdant green fields slowly unfold fresh from its morning dew.In the nearby orchard, the trees groan from its fruits as the wind tosses them to and fro.A flock of ducks slowly walk to the water's edge ready for its morning drink.These lovely belles of nature dot the sorroundings with its glory and splendor .
Well Dear Diary,It must be breathtaking to witness all these coz' i must confess, i had never seen the sun rise at the first crack of dawn.

A tribute to my beloved Mama

This is dedicated to my mama Geline on mother's day..........



Dear Mama,


It's been so long since i penned a note for you. I can't even remember the last time i did it. I'm so caught up with a busy life, juggling work and family, that writing to you is the last thing in my hectic day.It doesnt mean i don't think about you often, coz' i do. it's just that, calling by phone is more easy and fast way of getting in touch. It's almost 12 midnight here and i'm thinking about what would be a fitting gift to a woman who selflessly dedicated her whole life in raising eight kids to be the best that they can be.

I know you've been through a lot of struggles and sufferings , i myself witness that. But through your tenacity and perseverance , you emerge victorious.

I'm not good in expressing myself, i'm not good in showing my emotions, but today is the exemption. maybe because , jaden woke me up early this morning and give me a note he made for mother's day and it was the most touching message coming from a young mind trying to express his feelings.

Today, i want you to know that you are loved, that all your endeavors in raising your kids are greatly appreciated ,that no matter where am i , i always thought about your well-being and always pray that you're in your best self every passing day. All your teachings about respect and love , i carried it with me hoping i can impart it to my kids . with your unending love and support and believing in me, i become what i am today.To that i give you credit.There's so many superlatives to describe about you but it only boils to one thing , you're the best! you might not be a perfect mom but you're the greatest ...

Happy Mother's day Ma and see you soon... Your grandkids are excited to see you and i'm sure you are too.


with lots of love,
inday
