my blue screen of death

In the first photo, I had just met you a few weeks prior, and you spent the first six months calling me Ms. Kaye to my chagrin.😂 By our most recent photo at the end (which, by the way, isn’t recent at all—my hair was still short!) you’re one of my baby girls who I can lean on, who I’ve been through life’s ups and downs with, and who has accepted me without judgment, flaws and all. I think it helps that I feed you good food too! 😄 (Which reminds me: as soon as this lockdown is over I’m gonna make you my triple chocolate cake again. No tears or heartbreak required!😉) . I met you at a time when I was only beginning to learn the importance of choosing the type of people and the type of energy you allow into your life. Your energy is so positive and loving and understanding without coddling and I am forever grateful that you allowed me to be part of your life as much as you are part of mine. I’m still learning from you how to handle life with grace regardless of what comes my way—you’ve always been so good at that. If someone told me that day eight years ago that I’d gain a sister in you, I would’ve just said “I should be so lucky.” Turns out I was lucky and I’m grateful. ❤️ I’ve done an essay greeting on the rest of the barkada over the years 😂 But I haven’t done one for you—until now! Thank the lockdown and Miss ‘Rona for that! 😂🤣 Have the happiest of birthdays, bebe girl @aleynaswanderland! I’ll always be your sassy, honest and supportive ate. 😄 Love you to the moon and back! ❤️😘 #BSoF #GMA #UPKids #MaroonLadies PS. Giiiirl our hair journey. Rough! 😂🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_L4n_sBONzcVQfcPAxGbACxBHH_FxYXeXvFhc0/?igshid=ko0hbjylb98u

Annual Christmas get-together. Hopefully we get the chance to see each other more often.❤️ #BSoF #HSLoves (Insert @iamdonzpia who had to leave early because pregnancy) (at Tiyo Craft Kitchen & Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6VAdkIhAE54HvPOsdcecM_LkmsEdZdJj9g-SI0/?igshid=olqh9oy9o8po

Three years ago, in Bagac, the dagat portion of our Bataan #BundokxDagat adventure. Missing Stella days with #BSoF. ❤️ @decamsffeinated @apalvario @sirborjeeee @iamdonzpia @aleynaswanderland @chef_kai (you haven’t been to Stella yet but still) (at Stella Maris Beach Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4cJRKyhMvQdp1XSuFLIDuHKYc6SBw4SIhCTj80/?igshid=k6j2db3q9ckq

We need updated photos, babe. You’ve been gone for too long and we miss you. Happy birthday again, babe @chef_kai! ❤️ Hope you liked my greeting this morning. 😂 Love you & see you soonest! 😘 #BSoF #HSLoves #JumboHotdog 🤣😂🤣😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4RlbVhBNdYiDPy1ApmlXUY01aCXbDWSuMCO6Q0/?igshid=lqmr48k577vv

Excuse the lengthy (slightly) emotional post — I don’t do this regularly! I can count with both hands the number of people who know and understand that my strength and my wisdom aren’t infallible, and that sometimes the fixer and the protector needs protecting too. That’s why I cried when you left — you were one of the very few who just got it. But two years came and passed quickly, and now you’re coming home soon... Prepare the Losartan! Amlodipine galore! Crispy pata, lechon, all sorts of fatty food, beer, your family and #BSoF await you. See you soon, Tay @sirborjeeee! (PS. May hampas ka sa’kin sa lahat ng pang-aasar mo dito sa IG these last two years 😂) #HSLoves https://www.instagram.com/p/B22rYWdhqOu3J9IpMRo6IRvLL0xvyk8a8LYvqs0/?igshid=60j315kuh6vg
