Para kay Pong,
Happy birthday! I’m grateful for you 🙂.
I remember villainizing you and it’s hard to do it, but when I looked at you with grace it’s much easier ❤️.

Para kay Pong
Gusto ko yung tawag ko sa’yo na “Pong.” Kasi parang matagal na kitang kilala. Parang mula pagkabata, ikaw na yung palagi kong kasama. Kahit isang taon pa lang tayo magkakilala, pakiramdam ko matagal na. Gano’n yata talaga kapag totoo ang koneksyon—parang dati pa kayong magkakilala ng kaluluwa n’yo.
Gusto ko yung pagiging pasensyoso mo, yung kabaitan mo, at kung gaano ka kaintindi. Gusto ko yung pakikinig mo sa’kin, kasi sa tuwing nakikinig ka, pakiramdam ko may halaga ako. Gusto ko yung pagmamahal mo sa akin, kasi dahil do’n natuto rin akong mahalin ang sarili ko.
Mahal kita. Pasensya na kung hindi ko pa kayang sabihin sa harap mo. Pero totoo ‘yon. Gusto kitang makasama. Gusto kitang lagi sa tabi ko. Gusto ko yung boses mo, yung tawa mong nakakawala ng pagod. Gustong-gusto kong makita ka—lalo na kapag totoo yung ngiti mo.
Minsan naiisip ko, baka sa ibang buhay, naging tayo. Baka ako yung nauna. Baka wala tayong sabit, walang kasal, walang hadlang. Do’n siguro, hindi tayo bitin. Pero dito sa buhay na ‘to, dumating ka sa panahong huli na ang lahat.
Pero kahit ganon, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako. Kasi naranasan kong magmahal ng walang hinihingi, ng walang kapalit, ng tahimik pero totoo. Hindi lahat pinapalad na maramdaman ‘yon.
Marami akong gustong sabihin sa’yo, pero sa totoo lang, minsan hindi sapat ang salita. Kaya sinusulat ko na lang. Para kahit kailan, kahit paulit-ulit ko basahin, alam kong totoo.
Sabi ko nga sa’yo—oo, mahal pa rin kita. Kahit itaga mo pa sa bato, sa puno, sa balat ng pagong. Hindi na mawawala ‘yon. Hindi dahil hindi ako makamove on, kundi dahil marunong akong magpasalamat sa pagmamahal, kahit hindi ito tumagal.
Naikwento ko rin sa’yo na noong birthday mo, gusto kitang batiin. Isang simpleng “Happy Birthday.” Pero pinili kong huwag. Kasi ayaw ko ng gulo. Alam kong hindi mo gusto na may nang-aaway sa’yo dahil sa akin. Kaya noong gabing ‘yon, habang naka-duty ako, sinulatan na lang kita. Dalawang version pa nga—isang post sa blog na walang nakakabasa, at isang sulat-kamay na tinago ko sa sarili ko.
Nung binasa mo, sabi mo ang sakit. Na sana noon ko pa sinabi. Na sana ako na lang. Na sana hindi ka nagmadali. Na sana hindi ako magbago.
Alam mo, kapag tinatanong mo ako kung mahal pa rin kita, palagi ko namang sinasagot ng "oo." Pero alam ko rin na hindi mo ramdam. Kaya sinusulat ko na lang. Dahil dito, siguro kahit hindi mo maramdaman ngayon, alam mong totoo.
Pong, kung hindi man ako makapag-asawa balang araw, baka dahil walang nakaabot, o nakalamang, sa pagmamahal na naramdaman ko habang kasama kita. Parang sina Athena Dizon at Kenji delos Reyes lang tayo—maikli pero malalim, mabigat pero totoo. Hindi nga sila nagtapos na magkasama, pero naging buhay pa rin si Athena dahil sa pagmamahal ni Kenji. Gano’n kalakas ang pagmamahal—nakakabuhay.
At sa totoo lang, hindi naman talaga nawawala yung pagmamahal. Hindi na lang talaga natin sila nakikita. Pero nando’n pa rin. Para lang yang carbon copy—nando’n ang marka, bakas, at sulat. Kaya sinabi ko rin sa’yo, hindi ka mawawala sa puso ko. Hindi dahil sa pait, kundi dahil sa pasasalamat.
Hindi ko alam kung may darating na susunod na buhay. Pero kung meron man, sana do’n… ako naman.
Hanggang sa muli—o kung wala man—salamat.
Sumasaiyo, Jhira Marie
To Pong,
I love calling you Pong because it feels like I’ve known you since we were kids, even though, in reality, I’ve only known you for almost a year. But somehow, it feels like I’ve known you long before that. I guess that’s how much we enjoy talking to each other.
I love how patient, kind, and understanding you are. I love that you always listen to me—it makes me feel valued and heard. I love that you love me. And because of that, I love myself more.
I love you. I’m sorry if I can’t say it to you in person just yet, but I truly do. I always want to be with you. I want you around, close to me. I always want to talk to you, to hear your voice and your silly laugh. I love seeing you, especially when you’re genuinely smiling.
Soulmates arent just lovers – theyre friends too. Your soulmates naturally recognize you, vibe with you & align with you. They understand you, appreciate you, support you, love you, heal with you & grow with you. They make you feel beautiful in your own skin just for being YOU.

To Pong,
How do I even begin? I can’t fully express how grateful I am that our paths crossed in this lifetime. You feel like the male version of me—only better. The way you understand things from both perspectives, without invalidating anyone’s feelings, is such a rare gift. When you listen to my stories, it feels like not a single word is wasted. You truly see and hear me, and that’s something I’ll always cherish. Our friendship has brought so much color into my life, and I can’t imagine what it would be like without you in it.
I think I’m always going to remember the day when you accompanied me on running my errand—not just once, but twice! You were like my knight in shining armor every time I think about it. That drive was no joke, but I’m glad you enjoyed helping me. Thank you for making my burden a little less heavy by simply being there with me. Please know that everything you’ve done for me, to me, and with me will always be well appreciated and remembered.
It’s so nice to have a friend like you. I’ll forever wish that I’d met you earlier. Maybe life wouldn’t have felt as heavy before if I’d known you then, but I guess what matters is that I know you now—and you know me too. I just hope I’m able to reciprocate all the kindness and support you’ve shown me.
I want to keep telling you my stories, whether they’re good or bad, because I know you’ll enjoy them and take something meaningful from them. But if the time ever comes when we drift apart, just know that I’ll keep looking for the essence of “you” in every new friendship I make.
Thank you for being you. Happy birthday and happy new year! I hope this year brings you nothing but joy and fulfillment.
I wake up in the morning and I feel like I'm missing something. I know that there's something not right, and it takes me a while to remember what it is... then I remember. My best friend is gone. My only friend. It was silly of me to rely so much on one person.
Aren’t you tired of always being the bigger person?
timing really is a bitch

Hello, Tumblr. We meet again because today is the end of another year. This 2022 has been the slowest yet fastest year I’ve ever been. As you know, my father died this year and I don’t know what to say. I can’t say that this year is the shitiest because I don’t feel that way. There are loads of ups and downs and I’ve already learned that life works like that. I guess, what I’m just trying to say is I want to have a better year this 2023. God really put me into a test this year. When Tatay died, that’s the scariest I have ever been. Tatay is my rock. I believe everything he said to me. If he tells me that mountains are made of leaves I would believe it in a heartbeat. God, I really love Tatay with every fiber of my being. When he died, I was vulnerable. It also opened the door for me to really getting to know the Almighty Father. Attending the worship services and fulfilling my duty as a choir member is what kept me sane with what I have experienced this year. With Tatay leaving me behind in this world it made me realize that no one else would protect me like he did, except for Almighty Father.
Tatay, thank you for being a role model to me - to us, your three children. I’ll take you forever within me. I won’t forget every bit of you. I’ll live for you and with you.
