A letter from Aug 31st, 2021

Dear Hazel, Hey, Hazel. It's your 22nd birthday! Happy birthday to you. I hope you're having an amazing day. Nagcelebrate ba kayo? I know na palagi kong sinasabi na magastos ang birthday celebration pero I hope you did celebrate. You deserve that. Kamusta sina Mama at Papa. Are they healthy? Inaalagaan mo ba sila nang maayos, ha? Kasi kung hindi, papatayin kita. Hahahahaha joke. Pero, seriously. Are they doing okay? Nagbebenta pa rin ba sila ng umagahan? Gusto kong sabihin na sana hindi na. Ilang taon na nila ginagawa 'yon, halos wala na sila mabenta dito, sana naman nakaahon na tayo kahit papaano. Kamusta mga kaibigan naten? Sila Aye, Cess, Mykha, Lorenz, at iba pa? Okay lang ba sila? Nag-uusap pa ba kayo? Sana oo. I love them. I hope na kahit papaano, you're still reaching out to them kahit na alam kong busy ka siguro ngayon. May mga bago ka bang friends? I hope you made friends sa college. Kamusta COVID-19? Pandemic pa rin ba? Please say no. Maayos na ba bansa natin? I hope I can talk to you dahil gusto ko talagang malaman. Sana naman nakaahon na bansa natin. Sinong presidente? Maaasahan ba? Hayst, sana naman hindi na tangina 'di katulad ni Duterte. And lastly, how are you? Are you still alive? Are you happy? Nag-aral ka na ba sa dream university mo? Sana oo. I hope you're doing great and I hope you're happy and living with no regrets. May jowa ka ba? Did you find yourself? Do you finally understand yourself? I hope you do. If not, don't worry, we'll work on that together. Graduate ka na ba o pa-graduate ka na ba? Sana naman oo, noh. Hahahahaha. May trabaho ka na ba? Sana naman. 'Wag ka ngang palamunin hahahahaha. Anyway, anong course kinuha mo? Nag-nursing ka ba katulad ng gusto mo? Kung hindi, sana kahit papaano masaya ka pa rin. Ayos lang ba dyan? I hope things are doing well. If not, 'wag kang mag-alala, things will be better. I know it. Laban lang! Ayun lang, be happy. P.S. Naaalala mo ba yung dalawang kantang pinapatugtog ko ngayon kasi para mas dama? Hahahahaha. Meet Me Again (Sejeong) and No Problem (Dvwn). Soundtrack yan ng The Uncanny Counter. Sana naaalala mo pa yang kdrama na 'yan.
