Dear FutureMe,

Wow, it's been a year homie. Futureme 2.0. Haha, you're so lame. Well, you're last letter was fo' serious depressing, if not refreshing. It was actually really cool remembering what was happening during those time which is why you're back here doing it all over.

Time out. You're in the Philippines at Kristella's house about to go partying. Was it fun? I have no idea how it'll turn out because apparently they drink. Kristella wants you to meet boys and stuff, but what the frick. FOBs? Ugh. But wait. She goes to International school. You're growing close to them. And it's scaring you because when you leave you're going to be fucking sad. AJ, Twinkle, Audrey, and Cedric are so big now. AJ goes to UP [fucking genius yo] and you're still a Junior. Senior now. I hope you did really good Junior year. (:

ANYWAY.

So first of all. Lots of lots of changes. Mary and Nadine [Nary. LOL. Joke.] are kaput. Currently, Nadine is with Chris Tokita [Yes, your almost potential crush before] and Mary is totally stalking this hot [Very hot] asian [Korean] cutie [Yes, hot and cute], Chris Cho. I don't think Nay and Chris will work out, but Nadine's trying to find herself right now. Let her do what she wants, but always let her know what you think. She cares what you think. I think Mary's more torn about it, but I'm so proud of her. She's trying really hard. You and Mary's friendship is as strong as ever. Don't lose it. You should be very depressed if you lose Mary because she's in fucking Corona and you barely see her enough as it is.

JCO is driving you insane. So many people making incompetent choices. You've grown closer to CJ and Carolyn. I hope you're in SCO. Although JCO is stressing, it's a great experience.

Fuck basketball. I hope you quit that shit.

Choir. Hm. I kinda want to be president. I think I'm pretty good at bitching at people. Lol. Is Aaron still there? He better has serenaded you by now. (:

Journalism. How is the staff this year? I hope you became Managing editor or at leasr someone very prominent. Haha. Do we suck? I certainly hope not. I actually think we'd do pretty good next year.

Did you quite Gear-up? It's not that bad. I just hope you don't have cholo mentees again. Your kids were pretty cool, it's just hard to keep them in check. Haha.

Key club? Get your fucking hours done! Did you go to DCON and meet cute Koreans? I hope so.

SDYM is still the shit. It's a fact that has been proven numerous times I know it. Haha. How was leader retreat this year? Man, last year was freaking great. Are the new leaders cool? SDYM has changed your life. Remember those weird people you didn't think were cool? Turns out they became some of your closest friends. Keith Alcantara, do not ever lose him. I repeat, do not ever lose him. Keith is freaking great. Justin Domingo is freaking weird, but totally cool and amazing and you love him to death. Graham. I wonder if you've confessed your undying love for him. Lol. Kidding, you're not even sure if you like him, but he's incredibly funny and cute and you better have taken him to JDD. If not, I'll be terribly upset unless it was Michael. Michael! Have you learned to call him Mikey? You and Michael are really close now too and he's a good person. Don't forget that [Haha]. YOU LOVE MICHAEL. You love those boys. Nikole and Sabrina are cool too. Ashley's not as bad as you think. You're
only resenting her because she calls Ate, "Ate" WEIRD. Haha.

Oh, if you haven't figured it out. You have now realized that there is no such thing as a drama-free life. You know that now. Hah.

Michelle Li. Hmm. She's so stressed and busy nowadays, but you know she loves you. I hope she didn't overwork herself this year. Michelle J. She's going through some tough times with her family right now. You have better been there for her, that's unforgivable. The Michelles are great.

Nicole. She's kinda drifting from everyone else. Moving towards the old magnet crew, but I tihnk you guys will always be tight. She gives you books to read when you want. You guys have better still be friends and if she's still in basketball you should be ridiculing her every chance you get. Nicole will always be your friend.

Beng is working so hard right now. Matt. School. Her parents. Be there for her when she needs to vent. Are those two still together? From what I see, I think they are.

Ate. She's your sister, role model, best friend. She may make you go crazy, but she's defintely someone you can rely on. Let her win those petty arguments, she likes the triumph more than you do.

Patricia Erika Tan Gonzalez is your greatest friend. You went through a lot of shit this year too and she was there every step of the way. When you didn't talk to the family for a week because of Nala, she was there to take you in. When the weight of Nanay's death, Nadine's drama, and mary getting mad at you was too much, she was there to keep you sane. When you really just needed to vent, she was there to listen. Listening, that's what she does best. You love her to death and remember to be as great a friend to her as she is to you.

So 2008 has definitely been a rollercoaster of ups and downs.

Highlights: AX '08. PMX '08, KMF '08, Homecoming '08, Your three birthday parties, etc.?

Downside: Nala died. DRAMA. <-- UGH!

But so far, going into 2009, things look pretty good. I hope you were able to finish all your homework. Haha. Anyway, let's finish off with some things to think about. Don't overanalyze every situation. Let whatever happens, happen. It was meant to be. Don't give up good opportunities. Just go for it. Really. But most importantly, just remember to be yourself.

Oh wait. Do you have/had a boyfriend yet? I hope you didn't rush into anything. Don't forget that's the reason why you've been single for the sixteen years you've been alive. You want your first kiss/boyfriend or whatever to be someone you really like. Don't be pressured to do anything you don't want to. Love yourself and just have fun with your fucking cool friends, kay? (:

When you read this, don't be surprised. Otherwise, that means a lot of changes have happened. But it's okay as long as you've kept the friends that matter and are happy. Well till next time.

Love, Kathlynn Marie Sicam Alba<3
