It all begins here,
A not-so simple birthday greeting made out of a website. Long overdue. Not handwritten letters, handmade
gifts or a Canva presentation, or even Google docs, but a website itself. Thanks to my friend who created
a website for his school project, I asked on how. Got the idea, created, experimented, and somewhat learned.
Hopefully, you'll like it as much as I do.
8th Grade
First day of school. Where my bag fell, it unconsciously just happened. As if as though it was meant to be picked up by you and we were meant to be connected with each other. And that small act made me realize that there are still who does that even if students were out of the school for a very long time.
And as the academic year progressed, there it all began. Misunderstood, rumors spreading, almost 50% of the class bringing you down. We slowly drifted apart. Some act kind and innocent towards you, and you knew well it wasn't sincere and true. But despite it all, you acted strong and could not care less about those who wanted to destroy you so bad.
9th Grade
The academic year where we started to get close again as some of our previous classmates got transferred to another. Maybe it just happened for a reason that we don't even know of, or just.. maybe.
It took me awhile to perceive that even though a lot of people took you wrong, even brought you down as deep as on what's below the ground we stepped on, even knowing I was a part and talked nonsensical towards you behind your back; you stood firm. Gave me a second chance - or so I thought, to be your friend again. To get close to you. Hanging out with you. Even if I kept asking you for answers that leads to copying, specifically in Mathematics. Still, you did not push me away. And I am very thankful for all of those
10th Grade
Lastly, the academic year where we need to part our ways and start out a new journey to begin with. Where I think our maturity level slowly developed and thinking all of the 8th Grade days where almost everybody hates you, we just laughed it off and left it as a memory we do not want to think and remember. It might be a sensitive topic for me since I knew how much it destroyed you, even if you tell me that it did not affect you one bit - I knew better.
In this year, we got tons of fights we never knew and expected that would happen. But those were normal, and fighting in a friendship are meant to happen. It was a lesson and a lot of salty tears we got to let out of. Still, we remain friends after we talked it out and understood each other's perspectives to one another.
Happy Birthday!
This greeting was made with love and effort my remaining powers could put on to. Before, I was unable to buy you a birthday gift and I deeply apologize for that. But now, this will be my temporary gift I could give you online.
I am here to tell you, to just be yourself. No matter what the cost is, no matter how much people misunderstood you. Used you, played you, or saying bad things to you, took you for granted. Simply, those who made you cry. You were and will always be the person where one could run into, a one call away - even if you are struggling and dealing with your own problems you kept to yourself, not asking for help to anyone even in those times where you really need someone to talk to. You remain silent, dealing it out on your own. And thinking about it, made me think on how could you figure it out yourself, and how could you be so strong despite all the hardships the universe has put you through. I've known you for too long, and for once, I have never even told you how much I admired you.
I am proud of you. Always and will always be. For just being yourself, for being who you are and to the person you are slowly becoming. I may not always be around, but know that you are loved in every way by me. I may not show affection that much, but my love is something I cannot show or be visibly visible, even I cannot put into words. But then again, you are always loved by the people around you. Your presence matters to them as much as it matters to me. Keep being the person you were once before, keep being the Lisyle I knew. Do not let the negativity outgrow you, I once learned something from you. And that lesson, I will always keep forever. Thank you for shaping some part of me to who I am today, I am always thankful and grateful for you.
Happy Birthday to you!
I will always love you, and will always love having you around. Your jolly and talkative persona reliefs me the most knowing that you feel comfortable talking freely to me.
Happiest Birthday Lisyle, continue being happy as you are today, tomorrow, and the following days.
A bit late but,
It's better late than never, I guess..
There are tons of pictures I could easily plaster. But I think this should do, for now. As I end my so called long sweet message, has anyone ever reminded you of how pretty you are? Because if none has ever dared to tell you, then let me be the first hehe. I apologize as well for the grammatical and typographical errors you could possibly find. Thank you so much, Lisyle. I am rooting for your success and your growth. Pursue your dreams, and never forget to rest as well. Rest is a very crucial way to energize your body. I hope you heal from the things you never talk about. Surround yourself with people who brings you positivity and love you as much as we do. Continue being the Lisyle I know. Always remember that I am here whenever you need someone, but I think it is impossible to ever need me for now. Once again, Happiest Birthday to one of my favorite person! Always believe in God, pray, and have faith in him. As he, will guide and be with you along the way.
