| My Turn!!! Shoutouts for Everyone!!! Yay!!! |
 |
| Mommy and Daddy You two are the reason I'm alive. You're also the reason I'm in New York, living my dream. Thank you so much for all your love and support. I don't know where I would be without the two of you. Though I'm in college already, know that I will always be your little girl and I will always love you. |
| Mom I'm hoping one of the kids show you this. I know I wrote you my "resignation letter," as you like to call it, but I just wanted to let you know that I am always thinking about you (especially when I'm drinking my water and mainit). I love you always. |
| Grace Hey Sissy! When I was nine years old and stealing your stickers and trying to be like you, I never thought that we could ever be friends. Things have changed so much since we were kids. Now, you're not only a friend, you're one of my best friends. You're also the best sister I could have ever asked for. Thank you so much for everything. I wouldn't be where I am or who I am without you. I love you and I miss you. |
| K'yalvin My favorite brother in the entire world...probably cause you're my ONLY brother....Back in the old days, when jammies (those superlong shorts) and jellies (those plastic shoes) were in, when I was 8 and living in your room while you were a high schooler at FD, I never thought of you as anything but my big brother. Someone who bossed me around and made sure I was being a good girl. We've come a long way since then. Thank you for everything. I love you. |
| Alfred Somehow, I always knew you would end up being my brother. After all, we practically grew up together. When I was 11 and you started dating my sister, you still played games like you were 11 too! Even today, I can always count on you to make me laugh and play bumper cars or Puzzlefighter with me. Thanks for always being so fun, and for being the best brother-in-law anyone could ever ask for. I can't think of anyone better for my sister if I tried. |
| Hayette My shopping buddy...the only one who knows what kind of shoes I REALLY like. It's always fun to get together and pick on my brother. I'm glad you decided to marry K'yalvin. Now he has a better half! Just kidding. Thanks for all the good fashion advice and for just being a super cool sister-in-law. |
| the TFM (delos Reyes Clan) Hahaha. Do you guys remember that? To my OG delos Reyes crew (Janice, Karen, Sharon, Pam, Arnold, Ryan, Lynn, Dex,Ate Aimee, Kuya Laurence, Kuya Joey, and Ate Cristine, as well as K'yalvin and Grace), man we're OLD!!! I can still remember our days when you used to play basketball and I just used to watch. Or those days when we used to go on our outings. Ooh, that was fun! I know we are all so far apart, and growing old, but hey, I still believe that someday, we will start D-Town (delos Reyes Town) somewhere and live on the same block. To the little delos Reyes kids...maybe you're not so little anymore...Drew, Jennie, Liv, and Daryl...when did you get to be so old??!! And to our still more little ones...AJ, Aaron, Isa, Amanda, Kevin, and Kaila...I love you guys...even if you don't quite understand that yet. Well, old or new TFM's, I love you and miss you all. |
| The Bingo Club Yes, I mean, Co-founders Ninang Malou, Tita Letty, Tita Vicky, Tita Cely, Mom, Tita Buena, Lola Laura, and company. How are you getting along without two of your most distinguished members? (my mom and dad) I think everyone should move to Vegas already so we can have a Bingo Club Reunion and spend all night playing "Punu-an" and stuff. Well, I just wanted to tell you that I missed you all. |
| Valerie You are the girl no one wants to be...know why? Cause you have to live with me for a VERY LOOOONG TIME! I'm glad you haven't killed me yet, and more over, I'm glad we got to be roommates... I can't imagine what college would have been like if we hadn't ended up here together. Thanks for everything Val...for the three a.m. conversations, the support, the laughter...for sharing your family. (I don't know what college would be like without looking forward to our Long Island getaways) There is no one else I could have imagined to share my college experiences with. (No one else has the patience) Together, we have come to realize what real friendship is. And I wouldn't have it any other way. |
| Sarah If it weren't for you, I would not know how to work my scanner/printer/copier/fax. Nor would I have a media player or a weatherbug or AIM on my laptop. Or this webpage. I know that maybe we haven't been spending a lot of time together the way we used to, but just because it's been a while since we've really hung out doesn't mean I love you any less, because I don't. I'm so thankful Val and I got to have you in our lives. |
| Naenae My best friend since kindergarten...there is no one I would ever have wanted to spend my childhood with. Thank you so much for everything. Even though we're incredibly far apart now, I know that we'll always be friends. I miss you and I love you. Always. |
| Anne The girl who understood me when no one else could. In each other we found strengths we never knew existed. Thanks for everything. I miss you and love you. |
| Livvy My gallivanting buddy, BS partner, and co-founder of the movie theater club....I don't know what summer (or my life) would have been like without you. You saved me from boredom and loneliness, especially on those nights I would come home from work all tired and wanting to talk. You are one of the best friends I've ever had. I miss those days when I could just drive over to your house and we could gallivant all day long because we both had our day off. But I'm glad that we are only a state away. Thanks for always believing in me and for always making me laugh. I know we both don't have so much time to talk together anymore, but I'm here for you the way I know you're there for me. I love and miss you very, very, very much and don't you ever think otherwise! |

| *home* |
| Krystal Hey slut...just kidding. You know I luff you. 'Nuff said. |
| Jen Stadler Hey dork! How's UCLA? It really stinks that our dreams took us to different sides of the country because we could have done a lot of damage in college together...just like we did in high school! Well, I just wanted to tell you thanks for always reminding me that my dreams are worth it even if no one else thinks so... for all the fun times we've had together...not to mention te long nights spent at our houses practicing for something or shooting and editing videos..for being there and cheering me up even when you don't even know I'm sad... I don't know what life would be like if we hadn't gotten stuck straining dirt together for three hours. Thank you for everything. I miss you. |
| Vicky I never thought we would ever get to be such good friends. For the longest time, you were always just "Victor Lin, super smart guy from JFK." Then Mr. Taylor hired us both...I guess that job gave me more than a minimum wage paycheck, free movies,and cheap popcorn. Thank you for your friendship. I had so much fun this summer...I'll never forget our late night chats with fellow MSN buddy and insomniac Livvy, our free prescreening days, all those times we fought over intros, and all the times we've gone gallivanting with our crew. It makes me wish you had picked UPenn instead of Stanford.Whether you know it or not, you've become a great friend and I miss you. |
| Chrissy The last of the gallivanting crew...it's weird how we've known each other since freshman year, but didn't really start hanging out until after we graduated from high school. But it's better late than never. I'm glad we got to know each other and that I got to be a small part of The Senior Citizens, AKA Jen and Chrissy's Band. Thanks for all the good times and for all the long talks we have. Thank you for always cheering me up and understanding what I'm going through, and for always wanting to be there for me and making me feel welcome. You are a great friend. I miss you a lot! |
| Abby It still weirds me out to know that you aren't going to come knocking on my door to go out and do something or look for hollas just to kill time...Well, Abs, I just wanted to thank you for always taking care of me with Naenae. You're such a manang, and I love you for it. |
| Donna I can't remember where or when you started giving me rides home, nor can I remember how long you've been my friend, but you've been a part of my life for so long that sometimes, it freaks me out that you're not here in New York with me, or calling me up to tell me you're coming in 10 minutes to pick me up. Thank you so much for everything. I hope to see you soon.... |
| Jacquie My paranoid as hell friend...sometimes I think you're way too paranoid and worrisome for your own good, but I guess that's what makes you Chuckie. Thank you for all the years of your, "oh brother! I can't believe you, Joyce!" and most especially for your friendship. |
| Zer, Janet, Mer, Meg, Shelby,Camel, Mama, and Yabs I'm really sorry, but I not only got tired, I'm running out of space and don't know how to fix it!!! :( So yours has to be all together..Sorry!!! Anyway, guys, we've had a good time together...I'm so happy we got to be friends. Thank you so much for everything. I know life is taking us to different places (at least it's taking me far from you guys), but I hope you guys know that no matter how far I am from you, I still love you! (and I miss you too!!) |
| Marky Mapa Hey Marky! How's UNLV? It's weird how a couple thousand miles can strengthen a friendship, but I do believe we've been better friends to each other than we ever were. I waited so long for our friendship to get to the point it's gotten to and I'm so thankful to have you in my life (even though you're in Vegas and I'm up in NYC). I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have those long talks with you when I was sad. Thank you for everything. Know that whether or not I'm in Vegas, you're always welcome in my home. I think my grandma even misses you so you better go visit soon!! |
| Erkie How it was possible that we went to school together and had the same friends without ever really talking until this past summer is beyond me. I'm glad that we got to know each other better though. We had a lot of good bonding moments. Thanks for everything. |
| My Fellow Ice Cream Eaters Yeji and Anna I can always count on the two of you to share a quart of Hagen Daaz ice cream with me so that I won't feel guilty all by myself. Yeji, I love you cause you will eat my ice cream and not think I'm evil...Anna, I love you cause you think I'm evil but eat my ice cream anyway! Seriously though, you two are the sweetest girls in the world. Thank you so much for everything. For loving food as much as I do, for all the little favors, and for always just being you. I'm going to miss having you just a couple feet away, but whether we're on Water Street or next door, know that I love you two very very very very very very very very very very very very very very much.. |
| Miranda I can't really imagine what life is going to be like when I get back to the city and you're not next door. Nor do I want to.I meant what I said in my letter to you, Mir. You can't ever know how much you mean to me, nor will you ever fully understand how much I miss you. You really are one of the best friends I'll have in my life. I'll never forget the memories we've made this past year. You are in my heart always. |
| Andy I once told you that at night, when I'm alone with my thoughts, I couldn't figure out whether thinking was my prison or my escape. Either way, sometimes, my thoughts turn to you. The times I've wondered about the what if's that didn't happen but could have are countless now, but each time, it scares me to think that one small detail that could have gone differently would have meant that you wouldn't be in my life. I must have been blessed a couple times over though, because you ARE in my life. Sometimes it amazes me to realize that we haven't been friends forever. But at least I know we will be. |
| Warutty What I like best about you is that I KNOW you don't like the name "Ruty" but you still let me call you that anyway.I can't, for the life of me, figure out how I got to be so lucky to not only be where I am, but to have people like you to share my life with. Thank you for always being so nice, for always caring, for always being there... But most of all, for always being a friend. |
| Cho Each time I think about our friendship, I become even more amazed. I never thought you would ever be so important to me. But I suppose life is funny that way. Thank you so much for everything..I'm not sure you really know the extent of all that you've given me this past year. Thank you for all the smiles you've brought to my face, for all the breakfasts at McDonald's, for all the times I got to use your bathroom, and most especially for your friendship. I don't think you will ever fully understand how much you've come to mean to me. |
| Dohn You are by far the coolest Confirmation sponsor ever. You don't know how lucky I feel to know that you are a part of my life (as well as the lives of my family). Thanks for everything, for all the spoiling me (with the packages and what-not), for all your kindess, your support, and your love. |
| Jenn Man, we've been through a lot...even if we haven't lived in the same time zone for more than six years...I know that we have done some growingup and apart...still, you have always been a good friend...one of the best. Thanks for everything. |
| Justine & Cor-cor Hey Psych buddies! I know you love and miss me sooooo much!!! Well, you wanna know something? I miss you guys too! Don't be having too much fun with Miranda. I wish we had spent more time while I was home, but hey, that just means you have to come and visit ME. :) |
| To Anyone and Everyone I Didn't Name Specifically I'm sorry!!! I'm suffering from a lapse in memory.To everyone who's ever been in my life, I am the person I am today partly because of you. Each of you have touched my life and not a day goes by that I do not feel blessed for having our lives interwine the way they have. Thank you for everything. |
| My Theatre Crew You don't know how glad I am to have had a chance to work there, even for a short while. Thanks for making me feel like I belonged there, even when I messed up a lot and burnt a lot of popcorn and stuff. You can't know how much I enjoyed working with you all. I'll never forget you guys. |
| Rachel I was contemplating writing this in Japanese, but I'm a lazy baita and don't want to think too hard. All I really want to say is that without you, college wouldn't be as much fun, nor would Japanese class be as tolerable...You are a great person and a great friend and I'm glad we all found each other. Thank you for everything...for always trying to cheer me up, walking over at three in the morning just to make me happy, for being supportive and PATIENT...for being thoughtful and sweet and always caring. I love you almost like I love myself, though maybe I might even love you more! |
| Corey Kochan!!! You're our great big teddy bear and don't you forget it. Thank you for all the times you've made me laugh and *tried* to reassure me that I'm "kewpie doll cute" and stuff. I don't know what my days would be like if it wasn't filled with your infectious laughter...Thank you for everything. |
| Mac More surprising than my friendship with Cho is my friendship with you. But surprises are nice. :) Mac Luk, in a few short months, I have discovered a wonderful friend in you. You are a sweet person who is wise beyond your years. I don't know what things would be like if I didn't have you in my life. You don't know how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me. Thank you so much for your friendship. |
| Lynn Yes, you get a spot all by yourself. You can't know how much I miss hanging out with you and Grace at the mall or at Kmart during the weekends, or having those talks in my sister's four runner as we're driving around. You also can't know just how much you've come to mean to me. You're not only a shopping partner, but you're also like my second sister...not to mention a friend. Thank you for everything. I miss you so much. |
| Charisse Girl, you don't know how much you've come to mean to me in the past few months. And You don't know how much I've enjoyed your visits and our late night *meaningful conversations* at 3 in the morning. I find I've rediscovered the friend I lost in the fourth grade. Thank you for all the laughter, the songs, and all the fun. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you. I can't wait for all that is to come this next year. Love ya hun. |
| Joephet I knew, from the moment I met you, that we would get along just fine. My first year in the city wouldn't be as much fun if it hadn't been for you. Where would I be without the visits,the talks, the lunches, the cruel jokes, and the shopping trips? And who could forget our ever famous Superbowl party? Thank you Joephet, for being so fun, for always making me laugh, and for welcoming me into your life just like I was your cousin by blood and not just by marriage. |
| Jojo And where would I be without you? Probably in class all the time! This past year has been fun, with all the skipping class (shhhh!!! don't tell!!) and the hanging out. It doesn't feel like I met you only right when your cousin was marrying my brother...well, in any case, thanks for always taking care of me, for all the talks, all the lunches, and all the barbecue. You've made my first year in the city better than I ever expected. |
