Day 30- Letter to my reflection in the mirror

Posted on | Sunday, October 31, 2010 | No Comments

Dear Apple,

    First of all, congratulations for really finishing this 30-day blog challenge!  It was such an emotional thing to do but you did it, you finally finished something that you were committed to do. You may have updated this blog more than your personal blog but at least you still got your writing practice through this. The letters posted here introduced to the world the people who mean so much in your life and are a big part of it. You may seem vulnerable to other readers through the things you wrote but every word was put with so much emotion and that is all that matters. Saying what you have to say and mean. The post exposed to the world the person you are.

  Though at times you think that time is running out, you are still very young. You still have a lot more years ahead of you. A life to live, so much things to do, so much people to meet and still so many places to explore. You still have the whole world to traverse.

   No matter how many challenges you face and people who try to put you down and mess with your life, never ever give up on your dreams. Keep on chasing them. Always believe in yourself and have your friends and family as your daily inspiration to go on and be the best person you can be. Never ever forget to put the Man Above as the center of your life always keep your faith in Him. Live is never easy but as long as you have passion, faith, love and hope deep in your heart of hearts, I know you'll come out triumphant.

   Never ever change for other people but only for yourself, and if you choose to change, always change for the better. You still have a lot to learn and through the experiences you'd still have to go through and the people who'd still be a part of your life, I know you'll learn a lot.

 Let go of all the pain inside you and stop regretting. Forgive yourself and the people who've hurt you. Be happy because you deserve to be.

   Keep on inspiring and helping people. Maximize yourself and share what you have to other people. The life you have is borrowed so make sure you live life to the fullest by touching other people's lives.

    Explore and travel. Learn to love the earth. Make memories with the people who matters to you most. Just keep walking, breathing, swimming, caring and loving until your heart and soul is bursting with so much happiness and fulfillment.

   Live and love. No matter what, I'll stick you until you've become the best person you want to and can be.

   Much love,
Anne

Day 29-The person that I want tell everything to, but too afraid to

Posted on | Saturday, October 30, 2010 | No Comments

Dear You,
 
        I thought long and hard about writing this, I stared at the monitor for about an hour but oh well, this letter has to be written and finished with me not even knowing what to write and how to write this.

     I'm scared. Of a lot of things. I'm scared of not being able to see you again, of you coming back at some point in time and choosing not to see me again. I'm scared of what the future holds for me. I'm scared that you won't be in it anymore.

    I was so used that you're the very first person that I tell everything to. My thoughts, my dreams, my fears, almost my entire life and I believe right now, this is the only way to get to you. Pathetic I know, but I don't care.

   I don't know where I'm going right now, what path to pursue, to choose. When I began working, I was confident that I could soon become a reporter but instead of getting my hopes up, the longer I'm staying at where I am right now, the smaller I think is my chance to become one. I am intimidated by those reporters who are just as old as I am but already has the spot that I want. I am intimidated by those people who are greater than me, who prove me that I am not that good yet. I know this is so wrong, that I should stop comparing myself to others and use their greatness to inspire me to be better but I can't help it.

    But I swear to you, in two years I'd apply for the position, I promise you that but if I don't pass, which I hope I won't let to happen, I'd take my M.A. here or in another country. I want to explore my horizon, explore the world and explore myself as to what I can do, what I can still be and what I can offer to the world.

    I want to be a better person, someone who's independent, strong and can carry herself. Someone worth marrying to, someone who's mature and can do great things that could make this world better.

   Cliche as it may seem, but when all of these hopes and dreams come true, all I really want to be with me while holding my hand is you.

 Love,
Apple     

Day 28- Someone who changed my life

Dear TheJeep,

Day 27- The friendliest person knew for only one day

Posted on | Thursday, October 28, 2010 | No Comments

Dearest Bonsai,

       I would have to thank my dad for if he didn't ask you to be my bus mate on my first solo trip, we wouldn't have been friends.

      Sitting beside you and talking to you was like talking to my  best friend. There's so passion and love that emanates from you.

      I admire you for going back to UP to follow your theatrical dreams, and I admire you more that you're taking good care of your baby at a very young age.

     Too bad I lost your number when my phone was snatched but I hope I bump into you again soon.

Love,
Apple

Day 26- The last person I made a pinky promise to

Posted on | Tuesday, October 26, 2010 | No Comments

Dearest Ed, 

    I could have known that it would be too emotional to do this 30 day letter challenge. And it's more emotional 'coz I'm writing my third letter for you.

   It's tearing me apart you know- digging in and going back to all these emotions I've kept these past 2 years.

   It was hard, trying to forget what I felt for you, what I still believe I feel until now. There were those nights when I would cry and desperately wish in a blink of an eye you'd be back, smiling and knocking at my door and ready to take me away from here to be with you.

   But right now, I am not after that pinky promise we made under the stars, or any other promises we had to each other.

  I just want you happy. And if my holding on to you and wanting you back would just cause you pain then I don't want it anymore. It would be hard to make these feelings stop but I'm willing to try.

   With or without me, I just want you to be happy. And I promise I'd be happy for you.

Love without wax,
Apple

Day 25- The person I know that is going through the worst of times

Dearest Joyce (the girl on the left),

     I know you're going through a lot. You're struggling with your work, you're trying to patch up things with Karlo even though I know it's very hard for you because of trust issues and I know that you are still facing financial problems.

    You are carrying such heavy burdens but I believe in you, and I know that you can make it through all this.

     But when all else fails and you feel that everything is falling apart, look up to God and he will guide you...

    and look beside you because that's where I'll always be.

Love,
Apple

Day 24- The person who gave me my favorite memory

Posted on | Sunday, October 24, 2010 | No Comments

Everdearest Dharel,


       I was always sad during rainy days, but I didn't feel that way when I spent it with you.

       We were in our first year in college. It was a rainy afternoon. And I was in love with you.

      I know you knew, but we were still really good friends. We were with our friends that time and we had to walk from our building to the gym which was on the farthest end of the school.

      We came in pairs and since I had no umbrella, of course I shared with you. We laughed as we ran from building to building, we were splashed with water and we kept on picking on each other.. Our friends kept on looking at us because we were having so much fun in spite of the heavy rain. You always tried to steal the umbrella from me.I was soaked, we were soaked but we didn't care.

      Five years after and I could still vividly remember that day. It was my first happy rainy day. I'm not in love with you any more but that memory with you is golden. And I'm very glad that up to now, we're still good friends.

      Thank you for that day and thank you for making my days happy with you, rain or shine.

Much love and butt,
Apple
