I've been thinking for quite sometime now as to how I would greet my best bud Owen... you see several days from now will be his birthday, and we have not seen each other for a while, ever since he went back home in Bicol to pursue his political destiny. Miss you Wen... well since I know that he'll be dropping by at my site I resorted to make this post for him... sorry wen pobre lang kaya ako, wara akong pang buy ng gift for you so I ended up writing this letter for you, sana lang wala pang ibang nakakaisip nito...
Owen has been a very good friend of mine for more than 20 years now... yup you are reading it right, that's more than TWO DECADES of friendship, ever since we we're kids. He is the type of friend every one would wish to have... He is my most treasured confidante, my critic, my intellectual sparring partner, yup we can discuss just anything and everything under the sun. We love to argue about politics, remember the progressive versus pragmatic choice, the socialism versus democratic form of governance.... the VFA... the possibility of privatization of our beloved Alma Mater UP Wen? Those times we argued while at mega mall's cinema lobby while we were waiting for next screening time... those corny lines of yours about "saklot" and "tiktik"? hehehehe... Those window shopping at the supermarket meat and fish section while we scour for the next dish that you'll make. ( Yup he is incredible cook... super sarap magluto sa kanya ko natutunan ang pagluluto ng pata tim) Also those times na we would just sit sa sunken garden for sentiments.... remember UP fair? I just miss those times... hehehe Si Owen din ang utangan ng walang bayaran, ang taong takbuhan ko whenever I am on the bottom most part of my life. Haay halos lahat yata ng secrets ko alam mo eh hehehehe. He would be the one to pull me back to my senses whenever my twisted mind would bring me to undeliverable paths... a shoulder to cry on, a sponge who absorbs my sentiments and a doting Ninong of my daughter.
Owen, hehehe alam niyo ba na madali tong pikon pero madali ding mawala, he's one of the smartest people I've ever come across with, a hopeless believer of meritocracy (haay wen never na mangyayari yan dito sa Pinas... hopeless na din ang bansa mo) hehehehe, at super ang dedication when it comes to his family... how's Yen yen? basta Wen sana you'd get back here in Manila na so we can catch up with the old times...
Well, I guess the post has gone way to long, when all I really wanted to say is HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my best bud and may all your wishes and dreams come true. I wish you all the bests my friend. Thank you for everything, I could never ask for more and I am so blessed to have a friend like you... I'll always be here what ever happens, despite the time distance.... you can count on that.
Hehehe pahabol lang po, I wish na you will find na the girl of your dreams and the girl who's gonna be worthy of your love... Keep the faith!
Happy Birthday Wen!
