I had an absolutely perfect weekend with my girlfriend, Honeylet. 

UCR Katipunan PR Reps 2011-2012

(L to R): Mariel Hernandez, Caton Del Rosario, Eddie Bernardo, Jesse Santos, Justin Hoang, Yoshi Loyola.

From Friendship Games practices, to interviews, to the night in the garage for “round two of interviews”, throughout the year all the way to Induction Banquet, these people have made my experience in Katipunan absolutely amazing. Who would’ve guessed that from that night we all became PR Reps that we would have accomplished everything that we have so far. Long days making posters outside of Student Life. PR-ing several events throughout the year (and several is a vast understatement). These people definitely have changed my life for the better, and I’m going to miss working with them closely. I’ll always have that nice little group text of ours but knowing that when I read it again, it won’t be about a poster or an event is kinda weird to think about. I’m really blessed to have met all of these people, and to have been a part of something bigger than the six of us combined. Thank you guys for the amazing year, and for the one’s returning to cabinet next year, let’s make next year even better! I know I’m usually a dick to you guys, but I really do love all of you for everything you guys have done for me whether you know it or not.

Hello, Tumblr. I would like to introduce you to my girlfriend. We’d been talking for the past 7 or so weeks now and I figured that now more than ever, I wanted to have something with this absolutely amazing girl. She makes me happier than I’ve ever been, and having her in my life has been an absolute blessing. I haven’t felt this way about anyone in such a long time, and to know that feeling is being reciprocated by another individual is absolutely amazing. She’s my sunshine, the first thing on my mind when I wake, and the last thought before I sleep. 

I am absolutely proud to call this girl my girlfriend. Every single experience that came before you, I now understand why I had to go through all of that to get to you. I promise you to be the best I can be for you and give you 110% of what I have. Why? Because you are more than worth it to me. Thank you for being the most amazing girl I’ve ever gotten to know.

And of course, I love you, Honeylet Mae Magno Canonizado. 

Thoughts: By Chance

It’s not every day that you walk into a dress store and find someone that you fall for. However that was the case with us. Our paths had crossed so many times over the past two years, but only now were we finally brought together. It’s crazy for me to think what has occurred between us over the course of the last five of so weeks. You came into my life at such a perfect time, and completely unexpectedly. I was on the verge of giving up on the idea of finding someone I could share any sort of affection with. After being turned down time and time again, I had legitimately grown tired of it. It just so happened that this girl standing no more or no less than five feet small happened to close the gap in my life that I had been longing to fill. 

So much about you has completely exceeded any sort of expectations that I held for the members of the opposite gender. It’s very rare to find someone who looks as good as you on the outside, and is just as beautiful on the inside as well. And the more-so to find one who shares the same feelings towards me. Whether you know it or not, you’ve given me everything I could want and need in a girl and then some. I don’t know how to explain it, but I’ve never been one to question a good thing when it happens to me. And honestly, I’m glad you happened to me. Everything about you is truly amazing, and far more than I could’ve ever expected initially. 

Perhaps it was by chance that we had been brought into each other’s existence. But I’d like to think that there’s more to it than just chance involved. For someone like you who’s so perfect for me to come into my life at such a perfect time, I don’t see how this could simply be a matter of coincidence. I feel like I was brought into your life and you were brought into mine for a reason and I plan on figuring that purpose out. 

I haven’t felt this way about anyone in such a long time and it’s a completely intoxicating emotion that has completely consumed me. I’m absolutely addicted to the sound of your voice, the smell of your perfume, and the warmth of your body as I hold you in my arms. I no longer have the words to express just how I feel towards you, because those words simply don’t do you justice by any means. You’ve changed my life for the better simply by being in it. 

Those three words, I love you, have been given new life to me because of you. New purpose, and new meaning. Words that haven’t left these lips in quite some time with such emotion behind them. I really do believe that I love and care for you a lot. However, these words are simply that: words. So I’ll do my best to show you just how much I love and care for you through the things I do, more often than the things that I say. 

I love you miss Honeylet Mae Canonizado. I really do. And hopefully soon enough, I’ll get that chance to show you truly how much you mean to me, if only by chance.

I miss the Summer. This is a little gif of me working on my jumpshot. I remember I’d spend countless hours sweating on that outdoor court by my house. What sucks is that I probably won’t ever shoot there again since my family moved once I started attending school in Riverside. So much time spent there working on my game, tweaking, polishing, conditioning. I wish I still had the time to actually put in that much work on a daily basis on the game that I love.

I miss this court quite a bit. Oh well, there’s a pretty solid one near where I live now.
