First
addressed to the ripped sheet from equina's pink diary.
Dear, Paper?
I'm with Equina right now. I don't know what to say? Just that I don't have any problems because she told me that it's better to write my thoughts. The last time I remember, she was mad. Like real mad. It's because of that asshole JD. Sorry. That's bad. I shouldn't call him an asshole.
He poured sand over Equina's slime. I'd be mad too, if I were her. Wouldn't forgive him, either. But that's just me.
I have to act that I'm writing tons of sentences in this paper. Maybe then she would forget about my presence since we just kinda argued about cats. To be fair, I didn't say I hate them. They are cute. But it takes a lot to tame one. But I don't hate them? I really don't.
I hope my mom wouldn't scold me because of how dirty my pants got after sitting on the ground. Equina's using the swing.
She left now.
I guess that's all.

Equina.
You're the one who influenced me into writing my thoughts and I need to thank you for that : )
It's been 3 years since you last went to our parents' gathering. I admit it's weird not seeing you around since you were always with Yomi, Pia, and the others. Me, too. Now, I'm alone at this swing and the only way that I can feel your presence is by writing this one. I asked kuya Declan to buy me some paper so I could do this. Don't find this creepy, please. I don't see you as a ghost.
I'm too shy to give all my letters to tita Vincie. It's called being a pussy (Henry's words not mine).
Maybe one day, if you changed your mind about attending events like this, I'll give them to you so you'll be filled up with stories while you were gone :)
But for the mean time: Eza has a bf now. Kirsten won a gold medal for badminton. Sophia cut her hair really short. Yomi misses you, a lot. Kuya still draws fake tattoos on everyone's arms. You don't care about JD. Ken and Morewann are now obsessed with trucks. And I'm doing well! :)
Anyway, mom bought me a cam. Didn't know what to do with it at first but I took photos of them and our friends! I will just force kuya to have them developed.
I miss you, Equina :)

Equina.
Your pink diary was your first, right? On one of the pages, you said you wanted someone who's tall, nice, and intelligent. Who can also love cats, apparently. I can recall it because I was beside you while you were writing that. I'm taller now and I'm always the top student, along with Henry. Will you be proud of me if you knew?
I'm only missing the cats now, guess I have to adopt some.
I will force kuya Declan to accompany me to the cat shelter one of these days. I hope I can find someone who looks like him so he gets annoyed all the time.
Hahahahahaha.
A lot of people have told me that I'm a great guy and I believe them. I'm a great guy.
But Equina, you make me want to be an even better one. Even I don't understand how it got to this point.
I miss you.

Mom told me you're gonna enroll at DMU? Not sure if that's only a joke but if not, then you're gonna see me and my friends (Henry and Flo), at campus.
Last week, Tita Vincie posted the photos and videos she took during your graduation. Which reminds me, I think you mentioned before that you love Science? But you're from STEM? Oh, well. Can I be assuming for once? Maybe you should opt for the Math related degree programs out there. You'd look good in Engineering.
Congratulations, by the way! :) I know you did your best to get that highest honors. Damn. Now my wish in life is to compete with you for the ranks in our department.
Ang ganda mo.
See you around, hopefully. :)
