You

:)

I meant this to be a looooooooooooong little post dedicated especially to you on your special day, but  figured you'd get tired of all this... 'sweet' little things. XD 

So...this is just a little something for you(again), seeing you start off your day by happily visiting my blog. 

Dear AJ,

I could go on and on and on till the cows come home AND go off in the morning AND come home again, about all the silly things that we've been through, all the awkward moments, then the laughter, that led to today. You make me happy, you make me appreciate myself for who I am, you tell me that I am sweet and beautiful when I never think that way of myself, you tell me that God still loves me and will always be there for me despite all those times when I am feeling distressed. 

I still find it difficult to believe that five months ago, all I did was admire you from afar, keep wishing that I could just muster up enough courage to say hi but never did, watch as you maneuvered across the Skytrex course after crashing to the ground while attempting that flip, watch in awe at your mime performance, scold myself as I resist adding you on Facebook, laugh when I coincidentally see you at 'that chinese place', get all nervous when I wrote on your facebook wall for the first time, freeze when I next encounter you during lunch(seriously...),...okay I must stop now.

That was just the beginning of everything, and never in my wildest dreams did I believe that we would be here, where we are today. I've done plenty of dreaming, but those dreams stayed what they were-- dreams. You must know something : I dreamt of you laughing with me; that came true. I dreamt of you being a great friend; that came true. I dreamt of you giving me the best hug EVER; THAT, unbelievably, came true. 

But I won't bore you with my silly dreams. :P 

You're a darling, a sweetheart, an understanding and gentle companion, the best friend, son and brother anyone could ever want. And that's the reason why I had to do what I did today, I just had to see you; I missed your hugs, I missed being around you alone... I missed you. You're very dear to me, just remember that, just as you are dear to your family, your friends and God. 

So, for the very last time before the clock strikes twelve, 

HAPPY BLESSED 19TH BIRTHDAY, REMY. ;)

(Hope you don't mind me stealing this adorable photo of you off your mom's facebook; I didn't have another nice shot of you, so I decided it would be a great idea to grab this and humiliate you in public  XD )

I hope I managed to make your birthday a little more awesome. 

I will never forget how you looked at me today, it was so different, your eyes lit up with something I couldn't quite fathom. It looked magical, as if those hazels suddenly took a life of their own. They were beautiful, so much so not even those sixteen stanzas could do any justice to it. They were smiling at me, a thousand charming little smiles through those brilliant green shades.

Keep smiling, daydreamer. ;)


*hug*


Lots of love,
