Kahit saan man pumunta, basta kasama ka; nakauwi na ako.

To the love of my life, happiest birthday.

As you celebrate another year of breathing and surviving, you have gone through not only a wild rollercoaster ride of life but miles and miles of roads ahead of you. Yet, you never looked back. Even though there were bumps going against your smooth sailing ride, you would never look at it as a hindrance, but you’ll find a way not to wheel over it; that shows how strong you are as a person.

Even though you are strong enough, there is no way you can hide your weakness, yet you try your best to mask it and face it yourself alone. Like leaves that can protect flowers, you protect yourself from anything that could make you stumble or change your plans.

You have gone through a lot of things as a person; witnessing you from years ago and as who you are today made me have pride and be more proud of you, for you have blossomed into a person that people unquestionably adore and love you for who you are as a person. Many people can attest and prove how lovable you are, that because of you, they choose to take a leap of faith and allow life to give them the coast and waves of everything that is good and nice because of you.

As you grow and nurture life lessons that you apply and learn to look back and talk to the people around you, I can always tell that there is one specific spotlight reserved under your name and only for you. By allowing other people to be listened to, heard, seen, and felt by you, you shine as well.

Oh, wait. I fell for my best friend all over again.

Your love is the gentle breeze of the air, the crisp waves washing over its shore to remind us to keep our heads above water. Every moment spent with you is never dull, and everything about you is so beautiful that I cannot pinpoint how amazing you are.

The universe has been blessed with a sunshine like you, shining among us and as a reminder that life can give you something in specific that you would never expect but would bring you the best years and moments of your life. This lifetime has been great, truly bliss, indeed.

I love you, always.

It may not be as warm and sweet as the Summer heat, but on the day that you were born, the world has given us a moment to pause and celebrate your day. You are not a fan of celebrating your birthdays, and as a hard-headed person, you know how I always try to keep things casual. But it wouldn’t be your birthday with words said and told about you.

Happy birthday, baby. I may not be good at manifestations, but I am hopeful that this day will give you all the relaxation and bliss that you truly deserve. I am so proud of you, and I am thankful to witness you grow and become the person that you have shaped and grown into. No matter what happens, I will be by your side, cheering you on.

Love,

C.

Happiest birthday, mahal ko.

This is the fourth time that we'll be celebrating your birthday together. Thank you because you allowed me to stay in your life, I know that things can be heavy sometimes but thank you for confiding in me and for trusting me.

I am so proud of you for your milestones and for your achievements. Through ups and downs, you continue to thrive and to go through every stuff effortlessly, manghang mangha ako sa'yo for doing it all on your own and for fighting your silent battles.

Your presence in my life has dug a huge impact. You brought me lessons that I put to daily use now, I admire you for being so strong and for also choosing when to get some rest.

I enjoy every minute that I spend with you, I am happy that I am writing you this letter. Gusto ko man masabi lahat na naiisip ko, I had to take some time to gather my thoughts and tell you exactly how I feel.

Sa bawat yakap mo ay naiparamdam mo sa akin na ligtas ako, bawat yakap na nagdadala sa akin sa lugar na kumportable tayong dalawa. Sa bawat hawak mo sa aking kamay na tuwing tayo ay lumalabas, pinaramdam mo sa akin na mahal mo ako at handa ka pakita ito sa mga tao.

Sa bawat pagtawa at halakhak, wala tayong binibigay na pake sa mga tao. Sa pagtawa mo na binabalik ako sa realidad na to look forward how life can be beautiful, too. Sa ngiti mo na mas maganda pa ang kinang kesa sa mga bituin at mas masilaw pa ito kesa sa araw.

You would never expect that someone as beautiful as you are seen through my eyes in this kind of way, but that's how I've seen you. Before I grasped you with my fingertips, during the time I hugged you first, and the time I kissed you goodbye when I left you at the airport. You are still the same. You are still my girl. My Arvee.

Distance or not, my love grows for you every single day. You are so loved; I may not know how to edit stuff, but I can assure you that my thoughts are only filled by you and how to impress you more with what I can actually do, and that's writing.

Here's to more chicken, cake, pasta, and liempo na kakainin natin, baby. Sana hindi ka magsawa sa sinigang ko, hahanap talaga ako paraan kung paano magluto fried chicken gamit airfryer, hehe.

Happiest birthday, baby. I can't wait to wrap you in my arms once again and kiss your face as long as you like. Mahal na mahal kita, lagi't lagi.

Synopsis for Bini’s “Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi”

“Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi” is a captivating and heartfelt song that journey’s through the life of two friends who liked each other but were too afraid to let each other know, but they eventually realize what the truth is through time by staying, while knowing that their time will end soon. Hence, the title, “Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi,” shows their desire to stay where they are. With a theme revolving around the emotional struggle of bidding farewell and yearning to hold onto the present, it shows the bittersweet truth of life. Mayroong sense of vulnerability at nostalgia ang lyrics ng kanta, kaya’t it captures the conflicting emotions na ineenvoke ng kwento.

Nagsimula ang lahat ng ito sa isang gabi ng kasiyahan sa dalampasigan, na kung saan mayroong magkaibigan na naglalakad sa shoreline, at tila bay sweet sa isa’t isa. Maoobserbahan na gusto pa nilang makasama ang isa’t isa but they are too shy to say it out loud. Sa bawat pagtawa at pagngiti nila sa isa’t isa, mararamdaman na lumalalim lalo ang damdamin nila para sa isa’t isa. Sa bawat pag hawi ng buhok ng babae, the guy falls in love more. With every step they take, they make it known na gusto nila ang isa’t isa, pero subtle lang dahil natatakot silang mawala ang isa’t isa sa buhay nila kapag nagkamali sila ng sinabi. So they let time do its work. Hanggang sa dumilim na ang araw at lumalaki ang takot na baka their journey will end na. On their journey, they felt the love they had for each other but they were too scared to admit it, so they stayed. Nanatili sila kung nasaan sila to enjoy each other’s presence. They are confronted with the desire to stay, but also the fact that they need to leave and end what they have soon.

Ang "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" ay isang nakaaantig na story which celebrates the desires of love, the power of friendship, at sa kagandahan ng pagtanggap sa di-inaasahang mga paglalakbay ng buhay. With its relatable characters, heartfelt storytelling, at mapangahas na mga tema, ang kanta ay nakaaakit na pagsusuri sa pag-ibig, pagkilala sa sarili, at sa mga matatag na connection which shapes ang ating mga buhay.

It reminds us na kailangan, we learn to live in the moment, while also knowing when to let go. Or else, we miss making memories and the important things sa ating buhay. It shows us that we need to go through human experiences to live a meaningful life, at we have to learn to slow down and let go. Kung hindi, we miss out on the good things in life, katulad ng friendship at love. And at the end of the day, learn to take the risk before time is up. In their case, time made them realize the truth about each other. Hence, staying helped them. But that won’t always be the case for everyone. We have to learn to take a leap of faith, for the people we love before it is too late.

I remember the first time na napakinggan ko 'yung kanta, sobrang ganda sa pakiramdam lalo na't naiintindihan mo bawat salita at mga bagay na pinapahiwatig nung kanta mismo. Para bang hinihila ka sa paraiso na hindi mo aakalain na para ito isang baul na matagal na nagpapahanap sa'yo; sa oras na nahanap mo na ito, nakatatak na ito sa puso mo at sa utak mo.

A nightlife with you was simple yet sobrang fulfilling, two orders of liemposilog with another two slab of meat on the side, magpapakabusog sa ulam at sa kanin, solb na sa atin 'yon. We had fancy dates as well, it felt the same, basta kumain kasama ka, busog na ako at masaya ako kasi kasama ko ikaw habang kumakain. Hindi rin mawawala ang mga video na pinapanood natin sa YouTube, hindi buo ang dinner or kahit anong meals kapag walang pinapanood.

Ang simple lang siguro nito para sa iba, pero ikaw na mismo nagsabi na maganda ang mga piyesa ko. Ngayon na lang ako muli nagsulat na para sa'yo, ngayon na lang ako nagsulat na hindi graded o hindi kailangan sa mga subjects.

Sa totoo lang, nakakataba ng puso at mas lalo kong nararamdaman na kung gaano ko gustong magsulat. Ang saya sa pakiramdam na sinusulat ko ito dahil parehas tayong marunong magsulat, mas magaling ka nga sa akin.
