A letter from Oct 10th, 2021

Dear H i l a, I wrote this literary 5 years ago today. I hope by this time, you already performed in few stadiums. I hope you did not disappoint yourself. By this time, I hope my "congratulations, you made it" is relevant. I love you girl. The time you decided to write this, you're literally nothing. You were just a dreamer. Back then, your favorite artists don't even know you existed. Joji didn't even know you existed in this world. You were so young and ambitious back then, yet you push through and now you're here to a place you can finally say you're at your best and I would like to thank you for that. Thank you for aiming big and for making yourself strong (with the help of God of course). Thank you because you never gave up on this dream of yours. You fought your silent battles that only you and God knows. You push yourself to the breaking point even when you were tired and seemed hopeless. You motivated yourself because no one did, because we both know, you don't want anyone to know what you're doing, you always love surprising them. You strive to keep on learning, and learning because you believe there are still countless of lessons for you yet to be revealed. Your humble attitude yet confidence that gave you a push is your number 1 feature that everyone loves. Hila, I am proud of you. Thank you for loving yourself even in the lowest point of your life. Now look, your mama and papa are traveling around the world with your financial support. Your ate have her own convenience store also with your help. Your kuya have his own computer shop, a luxurious one, also with your help and your little sister can go to concerts and Fangirl all she wants because of your help. So you made it girl! Now it's time for you to enjoy the most of your life and give back to other people. To live your life the way you imagined before. Together, let's thank God. I love you, best girl in this universe.
