Song: Enough

Performed by: Julie Anne San Jose

Album: Julie Anne San Jose

Directed by: Mark Reyes

Under: GMA Records

Introducing: Ben Beaune (@Ben_Beaune on Twitter) and Elmo Magalona (@SuperElmo on Twitter)

Enough is one of my favorite songs in her first album. I remembered how my friends and I talked about her having a first album, her own video music, and performing it with much energy in a big venue. Now that Julie has been anywhere promoting her music, I can’t help but smile. I know all the adiks I met 2 years ago on Facebook, Twitter and Pinoy Exchange are so proud of her well deserve blessings. I, along with the adiks can’t wait to see you holding that platinum awards and I want to claim it higher, we will prepare for the moment that you will receive that DIAMOND. Keep on soaring high Julie Anne San Jose!

Once Thought : FanGirl Thing

Finally, the long wait for #StarmagicBall2012 is over. And rooting for my favorites became really interesting. Even though solo flight is such a trend on this year #StarmagicBall2012, one finally came out in the open.

|Change may make or break our hearts but we can’t afford to be bitter, instead we have to be better.

As always James Reid looks really good in his suit with Ericka Villongco. I was hoping for more updates or photos of him during the event. Glad he tweeted this, one proud man I must say. So, I guess I don’t need to spell her out; it is not only me who waited to see them together with all lights on and camera flashing. So, this is it, they are…

Full Version of Myphone Online TVC can be found here.

Overwhelmed with what Myphone's TVC not because most of my favorite artists were featured but because they promote love and education, nationalism, and tourism. Myphone truly made me shout, PINOY AKO!

Julie Anne San Jose is on her way...

It has been more than a year now since I received her reply in my YouTube account. Since then I became one of her closet fan. Then there came these people whom I get close with online because of our love for her. 

Yes, it’s been more than a year now since Hansel and I stated what we always pray for her career; TV exposures, movie, concert of her own and most of all an album, wherein she could showcase her passion in music.

Dreams Do Come True!!!

Kehrbears Davao Chapter GT with JAMES REID

I was caught with what Cyril has been feeling about this whole thing. “Ate, dreams do really come true when you keep on mentioning it...” he said while we were on our way to the venue.

It was November last year, when I first tried my best to be on one of James mall show. That was in SM City Davao. He just loves how people fall in line in exchange of a single photo with his smile. Lo was with him that time. He was playing his guitar with The Script’s song and danced that famous “teach me how to dougie”. He even nailed Bieber’s Mistletoe. Oh, Lo was extra kind to James fans and I just love her.

He came back with Bret a couple of weeks after SM City Davao Mall Show. They did school tour for WAW and performed in MTS. I saw how girls go gaga on him. Then, I met Armi and Cyril. I remember how happy James was when he saw the tarp we gave him. That tarp just informed him that Kehrbear Davao does exist.

Then, the Robinson Abreeza event which started all the planning of a get together. Sadly, I did not join my two new friends. But Cyril became the familiar one. James recognized him. Cyril worked hard for this event and it was worthwhile.

Indeed, it was a dream came true for Kehrbears to build a fan base for James Reid here in Davao. And today just marked our first ever get together. It was amazing, leaving me speechless and smiling. We do not have any idea how to start a get together but everything went well. Thanks to James Reid who was very nice and accommodating.

Well, the best thing about tonight was, I gained lots of new friends. I was once alone, then gained two (Armi & Cyril) and now got more than a dozen. Hopefully that will be thrice as what I have now. Not to mention the online H I get kakulitan with. Until next James Reid’s visit Kehrbears!

Sunset at Manila Bay and Julie Anne San Jose

January 7, 2012, I went to Manila to meet my good friends, Gretel, Beth and Mar. We spent a day of walking around MOA and shared a lot of stories.

A good thing of giving oneself a break from all the work schedules and other businesses is you will get to experience life more on different side. Not the usual. When we got out of terminal 3, the only thing I was able to say was, “ANG GULO...” I am not use to traffic and long rides just to get to another place, especially if it is just meters away. But everything went well, not because of the place but because I was able to meet sweet, good and loving people. Thank you for the wonderful experienced.

Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona #JuliElmo

It is not easy to become a fan, especially if you are just an ordinary one. No connection to Network's management or anything that could provide you a VIP pass. But what keep us going or should I say what keeps me going…

Her! Julie Anne San Jose. I really admire Japs. Her talent just knocks me down and her humble heart always bring smile to everyone that likes her. I love seeing people over social networks so happy talking about her. And there support for her is overwhelming.


When Blazy Lano, who was a complete stranger, posted on Facebook that JAps was scheduled to perform for GMA Kapuso's Araw ng Dabaw Celebration, I dropped my character and said, "I will watch her performed". By then Blazy became a friend and we had an eyeball a few hours before Japs performance. Along with her is her friend Pao, who made the poster for JULIELMo. We thought that we are the only "adikz" who insanely want to see Japs and Moe. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon but there were already a crowd waiting for the show to start. And the worst of it we do not have VIP pass to get a good and comfortable spot. As I have said we were just ordinary fans.

We were desperate to irritate the GMA's promo girls just to let us get inside. Luckily they were looking for players for the games they prepared. From then on we met the other group of pretty girls who were rooting for Elmo Magalona. I will never forget how I met these girls, I remembered Marjorie saying to the irritated promo girl, "Ate sila din papasukin mo ha…”. Wow, JuliElmo Magic, bringing together complete strangers addicts.

Ok, fast forward. We were able to get inside as players and we almost fainted. The waiting hours made us realized; our friends somewhere in the crowd or just passing by will see us on stage...it is so embarrassing, getting on stage, seeing your face in the big screen and seeing yourself over the local television when that event gets televised, especially when you lied or never told them you will be rooting for your favorite artist. Oh, how I wish they will edit it and erase traces of me.

After a long wait we've seen Japs and Moe performed. My demurred instant friends who were fine and proper transformed to something so exhausting. Shouts, bumping, excitement, overflowing love, laughs all mixed up and rocked the atrium. Good thing my camera handle was intact and my arms have fats...


I was not able to concentrate on their performances since I was busy getting video. But I saw JAPS and Moe performed and how they made their audience went GAGA on them. After everything had happened I realized I did not get a chance to have picture with Japs. I was not able to touch her even though she was so close to me. I just failed…


But that did not break my heart. She showed the bracelet I made for her to the public and said thank you. Thanks much Blazy!


That was enough. No, it was more than enough because I met new friends. I saw how people of Davao love Japs and JuliElmo. She sang live and they were like GOOSEBUMPS. Oh, Elmo was excellent too.
Sure it was not an easy experience but my first time will definitely not a last time. March 16, 2011 was an awesome experience for someone who thought that falling in line with a mob just to see the artists you admire is crazy. I tried something I did not do before and out of the usual environment I am with. I guess, that made me a certified Julienatics and a JULIELMO addict.

My faith in Japs talent and her humble heart to touch and inspire people keeps me going. I will forever be a proud fan…

Borrowed Chance

Tandang-tanda ko pa ang sinabi nila papa at mama…”Anak, huwag ka muna mag boyfiend, mag-aral ka muna, pasasaan ba pag nakapagtapos ka na mamimili ka na lang sa mga lalaking yan…”

Heto, ako nakapagtapos na nga ng college with flying colors pero NBSB pa din. Sayang ang ganda at talino. 

Waley naman nagkakagusto. Hmmp, saan na nga ba ang mga lalaki mama? Papa? Bakit wala sila Pano ba naman kasi kung nilandi ko din ang james na ‘yon, hayan tuloy di na nakapaghintay. Kumusta na kaya siya? 

Sila pa kaya? Masaya kaya siya? Naalala pa kaya  niya ako?

Hayan, natapos na din ang buong araw na pagtatrabaho sa opisina, makauwi na nga…

Wow ang gara ng kotse ha, sports car kalian kaya ako makakasakay sa ganyan. Malapitan nga. Ayy, nasesense kong pogi ang may-ari. Naku makasibat na nga… (bago pa man makatalikod)

“Hi devon, mind if I take you home?”

Oh-em, Devon daw oh…Boses pa lang ulam na…tao ba yang nagsasalita?

“Sure, why not…ay este…wait…” (tuluyang humarap sa lalaking tumawag sa kanya…)  

“James?!?”

“Yes it’s me…Hi!”

“How come you’re here? Ahmm…”(stuttering)

Naman, masyado ba akong matanong Papa Jesus? Nakulitan ka ba sa akin kanina at ganito kabilis ang sagot mo?

(Binuksan ni James ang pinto ng kotse)

“Come on, let’s talk while on the way home, I bet your mama and papa are waiting for you now…”

Ano ba to nangangatog ako, nanghihina ang tuhod ko…

Si James Reid ang First crush, first suitor and first love ko…kaya lang sympre masunurin akong anak kaya ayon…binasted ko siya at sympre di lang naman ako nasaktan…kundi sobrang nasaktan.

Ano ba to, pepe na ba ako?

“So how are you?” tanong ni james habang sinusulyapan ako…”I’m glad I found the right address of your office…It is so nice seeing you now after all these years…you still look good…”

Ngiti lang naisagot ko…nanghihina tuhod ko…ang mata niya, ang ngiti niya, ang mga labi niya!!! Waaaaaah!

“Ah, eh, same here!”

sabay ngiti…ayun same here daw oh…Tyeet naman eh! Waley, nabaluktot na ata dili ko…ano ba ‘to? Papa Jesus naman eh, hindi ako prepared.

Nakarating na lang kami sa bahay, iyon at iyon lang ang mga katagang nasambit ko, hay naku, napaka articulate ko noh? Ganito ba talaga pag nasa tabi mo na ang lalaking matagal mo na gusto Makita? Nakakabobo ba talaga?

“Ahhm, pasok ka muna James, dito ka na magdinner!?!”…finally nakapagsalita din ng diretso…

“Oh, really…sure…”

 “Ma, Pa may bisita po ako…si james po hinatid ako…” nahihiyang pakilala ko sa mga magulang ko…parang teen ager lang ako…

“James? James Reid? Ikaw na ba yan? ‘yong, yong…”

“Ma, Opo, siya po. Dito po siya kakain ha…Kain na tayo ma?”

Si mama, mukhang excited din. Pati si papa abot tainga ang ngiti. Kasi naman, alam nila kung gaano ko kagusto si James. Kahit strikto wala akong tinatago sa kanila.

Natapos ang pinakamahabang dinner sa buhay ko. Umuwi na si james pero sympre kinuha niya number ko…ayieee.

1 message received…

“Hi, thanks for the dinner kanina…ang sarap :)!Looking forward for next time”

I replied…

“Walang anuman! Wala ng next time :P”

Ayieee, parang 16 years old ba? Waaah! Kinilig ako kung alam niyo lang…

Sana sumulpot siya ulit bukas at sunduin ako sa office…Naman sige na Papa Jesus ready na akong lumandi. 

Ito na ‘yon eh. Hmmp, bakit kaya niya ako sinundo at hinatid kanina…Bigla na lang sumulpot. Eh, ang huling balita ko sa kanya nasa Australia siya with his singer model GF. Iyon kasi pinalit niya sa aking noong binasted ko siya.

1 message received…

“Good morning! :P, can we have dinner this Sunday? My treat…”

“Magandang Umaga po :P, dinner? Date? …”

“If that’s how you call it!:P, ok, then, See you…I’ll fetch you! :)”

“I didn’t say yes yet!:(“

“See you!:P”

Huh?ano yun, nagpapakipot pa nga eh, di man lang ako pagbigyan…Yehey my date ako…Mama , Papa my date ako sa Sunday! Waaaah!

Sunday…sympre, nagpaganda ako, nagpabango, ginamit ko ang Mac Lipstick ko na pang display lang sana…killer heels, mini printed casual dress…Ang ganda ko lang :)

“Ma’am Devon, ready na po ba kayo?”

“Ah, eh, si james po?”

“Pinapasundo niya po kayo, kasi may inasikaso lang po emergency…”

“Ganun po ba?”

Nalungkot ako bigla…imagine ko pa naman sana na sasabihin niya…”You look good, you really look good devon”…hay naku…asa pa ako.

Dinala ako ni manong sa isang restaurant at Hill Top kung saan tanaw ang buong metropolis…The table is set…kaya lang wala pa si james…saan na kaya ‘yon…

“Flowers for a pretty young lady…”

“Wow, thank you…”

“you like it?”

“Yes of course…”

“Sorry I’m a bit late…Anyway, you are beautiful!”

“You too, you look handsome…”

“Thank you…So is this how casual we are with each other…I did not look and wait for you this long just to say Hi and Hello”

Anu daw…ngiti na confuse lang ako…

“The moment I knew you already finish college and now working, I hurriedly went home…After all these years, it is still you devon…”

Naku naman ang bilis ha…pwede ba ligawan mo muna ako ulit ng matagal…Kainis naman to…ngayon lang nga tayo ulit nagdate…mukhang sasagutin na kita agad.

“ahh,honestly…hmm, y you saying that…you have a girlfriend right?”

Wala na naman akong matinong tanong…

“Yeah, I had a lot…after you said no to me…But that was before…now I realized after that there is only one girl I treasured the most…I keep on longing to see and now that I found you back…I guess I don’t want to let go…”

“James, how can you say those words, that fast…We haven’t seen each other for years …”

“Tell me, don’t you feel the same way I do?”

Hayan, na…tinatanong pa ba ‘yan…kaya lang kasi…ang bilis parang bullet train lang…wait, kurotin ko muna pisngi ko…baka naman bangungot lang ‘to…

“Kasi james, ahm-eehh…”

“Devon…will you marry me?” (sabay abot ang isang 24K white diamond)

Waaah, diba pwedeng “can you be my girlfriend” muna? Nagmamadali ba itong si Jaime? Papa Jesus, may kinalaman ka ba dito?

“James…Huh..” (pinakawalan ko ang hangin na nagdadala ng tension…)

Nakatitig ang mapupungay niyang mata sa akin…

“James, Yes! Sure!”

Parang di ako nag-isip doon ahh…easy to get ko talaga…di ko alam…eh kasi pano kung di na niya ako eask ulit…kaya grab ko na lang ang opportunity…

After that night ang saya naming. We shared quality time together. He cooks for me. We traveled. We have funny and long conversations.

We were supposed to get married in two months…But suddenly…

1 caller…

“Babe, can’t fetch you tonight, ‘m on my way to a dinner can you just ride a taxi home?”

“Ok Babe, I will, Take care ok. Love you…”

“Love you more babe…”

….Those were the last words he said over the phone…The next scene was him in the ICU…full of blood, unconscious…after a few try of reviving him…His heart came to rest…It was that fast.

The end…

All These Years (Jaevon FF)

Nagmamadaling binuksan ni Jaime ang kanyang laptop at nag browse sa nakabookmark na website.

"Sana may update siya..."

Nag-open din ng twiiter at madaling nakuha ang atensyon niya sa tweet ng taong matagal niya ng
sinusundan.

Kahit hindi niya ito pinafollow alam na alam niya ang user account nito. Ito lang din ang dahilan bakit
nagregister siya sa twitter.

"@Devon2dWorld Packed for bukas...I really need this. Thank you Lord sa lahat ng Blessings >3<!!!"

"Packed? Aalis siya? Saan naman kaya siya pupunta..."

Mga tanong ni Jaime na di niya pa masagot...until he read one of Dev's post in her blog...

"...I don't know what is happening with my life right now. But I definitely deserve a peaceful mind. Well,
gotta grab my chance to visit Batanes. Maybe, I can stop thinking of what is bothering me right now.
And I can finally get away from my busy stagnant life...Promise guys, I will be posting photos you will
surely love...This is it for now! Idle for five days! Be a blessing everyone!"

Magkababata si Jaime and Devon. The last time they were able to communicate was through text, 5
years ago. Exchanging Hi's and Hello's yun lang din tapos wala na.

But they are not ordinary childhood friends. At the age of 12, Jaime told himself, Devon will be the most
special girl for him. Puppy love kung baga. Devon felt the same way. Kaya lang di nila napag-uusapan
kasi nga bata pa sila ang di never tried talking about crushes even once. Jaime is very vocal on how
he looks at Devon. He admires her being fine, funny, intelligent and pretty girl. She admires his being
gentleman, protective and handsome boy.

Magkapitbahay ang Lola ni Devon at ang Family nila Jaime. Nagbabakasyon si Devon paminsan-minsa sa
bahay ng lola niya sa province. Doon sila nagkakilala. Mayaman ang pamilya ni Jaime pero pinili nilang sa
province mag elementarya si Jaime.

They grew just thinking about each other and never have the courage to communicate about how they
feel for each other. At umayon naman ang panahon. High school to college they have seen each other
few times but still they just looked at each other and never uttered what are in their minds.

Ano nga ba nasa isip nila?

In one of Devon blog entry...Mahilig mag blog si Devon, social Networks…sa ganitong paraan siya
nakikipaghalubilo sa ibang tao…Di naman kasi siya lumalabas…

"There's this girl who never had a boyfriend or a suitor. She keeps on asking herself why. She looks
good, she's intelligent, not fat but no one got the interest to court her. She does not know if she will
be thankful about it because she was able to finish college and have a good job or sad because she felt

empty in one part of her life...But she knew from the start why...Ever since there is only one guy she
love to end up with. She does not know how, when or will it happen...She just keep on praying that God
will hold his hand and eventually connect it with her...I think I know who he is...I hope he knows that his
the one ever since."

Lahat ng blog entry ni Devon binabasa ni Jaime. Kahit di sila nagkakausap alam niya mga wherabouts
ni Devon, her interest, her work, her life. Kung paano? Simply lang, he keeps an eye on her since
he was able to do it. Lahat ng pangarap niya para lang kay Devon. Iyon nga lang di alam ng huli ang
nararamdaman niya.

Torpe at takot na baka after all these years, after all he have done for her, eh, mabaliwala lang.

Until...

"Hello Tita Ann, can you do me a big Favor? Please try to look if there's Julie Anne San Jose in the
passengers list heading to Batanes tomorrow? If there is, kindly book me a flight with the same
schedule...and the seat next to her...please...please!!!"

Sa haba ng sinabi ni Jaime at sa pagkabigla ng tita niya di man lang ito makasingit...

"Wow, finally...is now the right time?"

"Tita...", sabay kamot sa ulo…

"Ok, fine...wait for awhile, di lang kita mahal eh"

Jaime is the only son, he owns one of the major stocks in an airline company. He owns it kasi mula ng
nakapagtapos siya ng pag-aaral, naging architect nilipat na ng kanyang daddy lahat ng assets nila sa
pangalan niya...

"Thanks tita, I owe you a blueberry cheesecake..."

"Sinabi mo yan ha, well, she's on the earliest flight tomorrow…well destiny made it for you, there is one
seat available but it's not closer to her seat... Booked you already...Happy?!"

Natawa si Jaime sabay sabi...

"Yes, you're the best tita! I love you!"

"Nah, I'm glad you finally find courage to go after her...I just hope this time, masabi mo nah..."

Aside sa mommy and daddy ni Jaime si Tita Ann niya ang lahat ng may alam tungkol sa mga
nararamdaman niya. Lagi niya itong kinukwento...Kahit ang daming pwedeng maging girlfriend si Jaime,
alam ng tita niya kung bakit mas pinili nitong maging, NGSB...

Hinanda na ni Jaime mga gamit niya for Five days with his special girl. Tinitingnan niya ang unang salary
investment niya...

"There is no turning back this time, it is now or never...I'm gonna hand you this beautiful 24k diamond
ring and definitely seal it with our first kiss..."

Kinabukasan...

Nagawang makipagpalit ng seat ni Jaime sa magiging katabi sana ni Devon...Well, he used his charm to
do it...

Napalingon si Devon sa katabi niya dahil sa pamilyar ito talaga...Tinitigan niya hanggang sa…

"Jaime..."

mahina niyang sambit na nagpalingon kay Jaime...

"Hi!"

wave with a big grin in his face...kasi naman di ba di nga siya naghanda para dito...

"Hello...what a coincidence...dito pa kita nakita...I mean nagkita tayo...ahmm"

Halatang tense na sambit ni Devon...

"Wow, di kita nakilala. So you're heading to Batanes?"

Natawa si Devon...

"Obviously...unless this is for other destination..."

Napakamot ng ulo si Jaime at napangiti na lang...

"oo nga naman...sabi ko nga!"

Pareho silang natawa…

Nabalot ng katahimikan ang buong oras ng byahe. Nagpakiramdaman ang dalawa.

Di pa rin makapaniwala si Devon na makakasabay niya sa eroplano si Jaime. She needs this vacation to
get away from being drowned with her dreams about the man he really want to be with...

Yet, ito ang nangyari...

"Oh-em, bakit siya nandito...Diyos ko, ano kinalaman niyo dito? Is this a sign? Ito na ba ang sign na
dapat na akong lumandi? Lord, di ako nakapaghanda...Haggard nga ako oh...Naman kung alam ko lang
nagpaSPA sana muna ako...Kayo na man Lord eh! Di nagpapasabi..."

Napangiti na lang siya sa kanyang mga iniisip…

Wala pa rin silang kibuan hanggan sa makarating sila sa Basco Airport , Batan Island Batanes…Devon and
Jaime both had their reservation at Batanes Resort. Sympre alam na din ni Jaime na sa resort na ‘yon

mag stay si Devon.

Sa tagal nilang di nagkita at makapag-usap parehas nilang di alam kung ano ang sasabihin sa isa’t isa.

“So, sa Batanes resort ka din?”

Tanong ni Devon kay Jaime sa loob ng transport van ng resort, bilang nabibingi sya sa ilang oras nilang
walang kibuan…

“I think so, obviously…unless hindi sa Batanes Resort itong Van?!?” kunot noon napangiti sa hirit niya…

“wah. Oo nga naman…” napayokong sagot ni Devon…

“Andito na pala tayo…wow, nice please…”, pagbungad ni Jaime sa kabuuan ng resort…

“OO nga, well, I guess see you around Jamezkie…”

Paalam ni Devon kay Jaime. She’s feeling awkward kasi. Di niya maintindihan. Tanging pasulyap-sulyap
lang nagagawa niya kanina sa mukha ni Jaime. Gwapo pa rin Kasi…

Ganun kasi tawagan nila bilang childhood friends...Napangiti ng wagas si Jaime ng marinig niya ang
tinawag ni Devon sa kanya.

“Ah, Ok see you around DevonzKie”

Bilang alam na alam niya ang room number ni Devon…

“Naalala niya pa pala…(love sigh)”, sa isip ni Jaime habang titingnan ang papaalis na si Devon.

Dahil wala naman talag siyang gagawin sa buong trip na ‘yon kundi ang misyon niya lang kay Devon,
madalas siyang nakaabang sa next activity ni Devon.

There is actually a hill located at the back of the cottages in Batanes Resort at doon nagtungo si Devon
bandang hapon matapos makapagpahinga. Kita kasi ang magandang view ng buong Isla sa banda roon.
Since blogger siya nabasa na niya ang mga info tungkol sa island.

“Ang ganda, relaxing…”,

Nakaupo si Devon sa damohan, habang nilalasap niya ang fresh air at binubusog ang sarili sa magandang
tanawin. Di pa rin mawala sa isip niya ang pagkakataon niya makasabay sa trip na ito si Jaime. Daming
tanong sa isip niya. Gawa ng dati ang Panginoon pa rin ang tinatanong niya…

Di niya namalayan na palapit na pala si Jaime…

“Mesmerizing, nakakawala ng pagod noh?” tumabi kay Devon…

“Ay langaw na nakapatong sa ilang ng kalabaw...” Gulat na tugon ni Devon…

“Manggulat bah? Feel ko na sana ang moment eh…ano ka bah!” sabay hampas sa braso ni Jaime.

Natawa na lang si Jaime sa reaksyon ng dalaga…

“Teka nga, ano pala ginagawa mo dito sa Batanes? Seryosong tanong ha…so seryosong sagot sana ang
ibigay mo…” , curious question ni Devon…

“Business trip... ikaw?”

Balik na tanong niyo kay Devon, kahit alam niya na ang sagot…

“Vacation trip…”

“Ahh, wow, pabakasyon-bakasyon ka na lang pala ngayon ha…”

“Ganyan talaga eh…kumusta ka nap ala mommy at daddy mo, si Tita Ann?”

“Mom and Dad are in Europe Tour, wala na kasing batang aalagaan…si Tita ayon single pa din…gaya
ko…”

“hahaha, weeeh di ngaaa?” di makapaniwalang sagot ni Devon…

“Weh, di nga ang alin? Na single pa din ako? Ehhh, ikaw ba double nah?”

“Single din…” nakapout lips na sagot ni Devon…

Namiss nila ang usapang ganito…asaran, ngitian…at parang wala lang…

“Tagal na pala nating di nagkita noh, namiss ko ‘to…” nakatanaw sa malayong sambit ni Jaime

Tanging ngiti lang ang sagot ni Devon. Pilit tinago ang kilig na gaya ng dati, kilig sa konting ka sweetan ni
Jaime. Sweet na para sa kanya ang “miss ko ‘to”. Sa kanilang dalawa mas open si Jaime, pero hanggang
miss ko ‘to at ang ganda mo lang ang kaya niyang sabihin the rest…nilalagay na lang niya sa baul…

Ang unang gabi ang nilaan nila pareho sa pagpapahinga…Sarap naman kasing matulog sa lugar na ‘yon.
Kahit ngalalaro sa isipan nila ang mga bagay na dati pa nilang gusto mangyari sa isa’t isa mas pinili nilang
ipagpahinga na lang ito.

Kinahapunan na lumabas ng kwarto si Devon…tinatamad siya at parang di niya feel ang araw na ito.
Paglabas niya ng resort, nakita niya si Jaime na nakasakay sa isang biseklita na papalapit sa kanya.

“Devzkie, may activity ka ba ngayon?” nakangiting tanong ni Jaime…

“Wala naman maglalakad lakad lang sana…bukas na ako mag tour ng todo…”

“Biking tayo…tara!” , Yaya ni mo ng mapansing nakataas lang kilay ni Devon.”

“Huwag mong sabihing until now di ka pa rin marunong mag bike Devonzkie?”

“Oo eh, sige ikaw na lang”

“Talaga? wow, interesting…well then, angkas ka na lang sa likod I’ll take you somewhere nice talaga…”

“Ozz, talaga?sige na nga sabi mo eh” mabilis na sagot ni Devon…kasi sa isipan niya ngayon pa ba siya
hihindi sa pagkakataong binigay ng Diyos na makasama si Jamezkie niya…

Lingid sa kaalaman ni Jpas nagkapaghanda na pala si Jaime ng isang late afternoon picnic para sa knaila
sa may paanan ng bundok malapit sa isang light house…Doon niya dinala si Devon na sakay sa likod ng
bicycle niya.

“Wow, sa atin ba an?” , amazed na tanong ni Devon kay Jaime…

“OO, pinahanda ko kay kuya kanina, Batanes delicacies plus the fascinating scenery of Batanes…”

“Sarap ng buhay…eh ano ba okasyon? Teka birthday mo? Diba tapos na birthday mo…”

“Haha, eh di birthday mo…”

“Birthday ko? Hala, birthday ko eh ano bang date ngayon?”

“Wow, sakit na yan sariling birthday mo di mo maalala”

“Oh-em, birthday ko pala ngayon…Naku naman, nakakahiya”

Nakasanayan na ni Devon na ordinaryong araw lang ang birthday niya. Simula ng tumuntong siya ng 15
years old di na siya nag papahanda sa birthday niya. Sapat na sa kanya na batiin lang sya ng mga kakilala
niya.

“Thanks ha, di kasi ako sanay na naghahanda pag birthday ko…nakaOff din phone ko kaya nakalimotan
ko talaga…naalala mo pala”

“OO naman, di ko naman nakakalimotan eh, kahit kalian…”

“Ozzz, bakit di mo ako na greet nong mga nagdaang birthday ko? Kahit friend tayo sa FB di ka man lang
nagmessage..”

“ahhh, ehhh…kaya nga bumabawi eh”

“Well, thank you ha…wow!” …di pa rin makapaniwala…

“Devonkie…”

“Meron pa palang isa…”

Kinuha ang isang maliit na box at binigay kay Devon.

“Para sayo…”

“Ano ‘to?...I mean Wow para saan ‘to?”

“Hmmm, can you let me speak straight without any interruption, ok lang? I just need to get through all
this thing baka di ko magawa…”

Diridiretsong sagot ni Jaime na halatang kinakabahan sa nagtatakang nakangiting nakikinig na si Devon…

“First and foremost, that’s the ring I bought from my first salary, para sayo ‘yan…Mula pa noong bata
pa tayo, my gusto na ako sayo…Kaya lang di ko alam pano sabihin at kahit kaya kitang hagilapin kung
gugustuhin ko lang gaya ng ngayon ay di ko pa rin nagawa… Kaya ang araw na ito ang pinaka special na
araw ng buhay ko. Di lang dahil sa birthday mo…kundi dahil gusto kong sabihin na, I Love You!”

Nangingilid ang mga luha sa mata ni Devon…at napayakap na lang siya kay Jaime.

“God knows how much I long for this moment to come…alam mo bang all those years, I have sleepless
night thinking and hoping you will come to me and say that you love…”,

Hinarap niya si Jaime at nilapit ang mukha niya dito…

“Dami kong gustong itanong at sabihin sayo…pero I guess…this is the only thing I should do…” hinalikan
ni Devon si Jaime…

And they stayed that way…

The end….

Baka di ko na matapos ehhh…
