Short Message for Christine

Dear Christine,

I was asked to make a short message and at once without any reluctance, I made one for you.  This is short… yes; in fact I insist this is short.  I thought of using “Christine” for more sophistication.  Bear with me.

”You’ve been a God-send my friend, and you deserve all the birthday wishes I can summon.”

Live… Love… Dream… Laugh… Cry… These maxims do not always make the world easy, but sure, these make every single life worthwhile.  Indeed, these mean a lot to someone who appreciates the true beauty of living and who, by nature, opens all possibilities and opportunities that come and hopes that someday sooner success and true happiness are just an inch away.  These principles are measured neither on how wealthy a person is nor on her multitude of companions, but on how she sees life at its best, how she handles challenges bravely, how she mingles to others with her truest heart, and most especially on how she finely loves each friends, families, and special someone she sees every single day.  All these things are things I see in you.

Christine, please don’t mind to connect the preceding paragraphs to my message.  I don’t know as well—uniqueness I guess.  All I know is that the things written are true, of course. Hope you are inspired and uplifted.

We know, these past few days, life has been unkind to you and to your family.  I want you to know that I am deeply saddened and my heart is with you for this challenge.  Christine, I know your father would wish you to be happy on your birthday.  And so would we… Be strong but don’t forget to kneel, cry for a while, and pray.

Back to the topic, I tried to reminisce the day when we first met or should I say, the day when we talked closer (but not that close) but three hours passed, I could not remember a detail.  I guess that is the true glance of friendship: remembering nothing yet feeling something. Whew...  I admit we’re not that close but I am very thankful that you are making and marking part of what I am in this college life.  You may not believe, but I am learning from you (Learn from me also. I anticipate that I have imparted something to you even a bit... grasp it, sense it, use it in a sentence, I mean, use it, as how I use yours).  I hope our friendship will last for a lifetime together with our other friends (enumerate...). I wish you more fruitful years to come. Go and multiply… I mean multiply your kindness to others.  Do your best always…  God bless you… Stay the same… Believe that you are so beautiful…  Move like a lady now…  Smash!!!

Without further ado, in short, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE!!!
