It all begins today. First, Happy 18th Birthday Liane! You're now 18, time sure does fly fast. And I'm happy I got to spend 6 from those 18 years with you (still hoping that i get to spend more with you). How do I say this; it all begins today. Everything, every moment before this day, are now memories of a past you. All the good and bad ones, all the lessons each one gave; I hope you remember and cherish them all. It all begins today. A new beginning, a new chapter in your life. But, who even said that being 18 is when a girl turns into a lady? You were a lady even before. You know your worth, you were mature enough to know things of value to you. You know what you want, and you know what to do to achieve what you want. You were always a lady. A very great one. You know how to take care of yourself, you know what you want in life. You have dreams, you want to achieve those dreams. You are smart, thoughtful, responsible, and most importantly; you are beautiful inside and out. It's true. You are a great friend. And, I hate to use the past tense of the word but, you were a great girlfriend, you are caring, loving. Yes, you have your share of bad qualities, but you know how to acknowledge them and learn from them. That's how great you are. And I do believe that you are bound to do great things. You are precious Liane. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

It all begins today. The part where I say thank you for showing me your true self. Your unbiased and biased self. You taught me things that I never knew or neglect enough to even know about it. You opened channels within me, that started growth. You sparked inspiration in me to do things that I never have imagined doing. You helped me grow and made me fall at times too. But you still held my hand during those times and pulled me up once more. We had our fair share of bad times, bad moments where we, more likely, I broke ourselves. But as time goes by being with you then, you help me realize my bad habits, my bad qualities. You helped me change for the better.

Why am I saying this despite of what I did? I will never deny that what I did is wrong. And it really questions the love I have for you then. It was a concious decision that I've made, it was no accident. I was aware of the risks. And yet, I still did it. I still managed to look at someone else.

But, it all begins today. That's what I tell myself everyday that passes after what happened. No matter what I do, I know I have this strong love for you. So, I told myself to wait. It all begins to day. Everyday I say that, because every day is a new beginning. A new opportunity to either stand still or change, and it's your choice what to pick. For me, I choose the latter.

It all begins today, Liane. Everyday is a new start for you, for all of us. Never be let down by the mistakes of yesterday but do learn from them. Apply what you learned to the todays and tomorrows that you will face. For we cannot change the past, but the past can help us make our future. You are a great person. I believe in you.

It all begins today. I was supposed to write this message in line with the end of your upcat exam, but the weather permitted otherwise. But the message is still there. It all begins today, you know what you want to do in life. The things you want to achieve. Go and achieve them, don't let anyone tell you that you can't. If you believe and put your heart into it. Go and find out in the process if you really can. If you could, everything was worth it, if in the end you can't; it's still worth it, for you have learned something about yourself. Never think about wasting time on things that others think is a waste of time. If you want to do it, or you love doing it; why would it matter what everyone else says? Do it for yourself, not for others. Do what makes you happy.

It all begins today. The UPCAT being rescheduled, it's a new beginning. Go and face every new beginning with an open heart and mind. Bank on your strengths as a person, acknowledge weaknesses and learn from them. It all begins today.

With all these said, please accept these small bought, and made gifts. I was supposed to give the box and highlighters before, when I first asked you if we could meet before I go to UP. Anyway, please accept these gifts, they're not much. I really **** at handcrafted gifts, I wanted to make it look good for you; I hope you can bear with it. They're words unsaid, but I wrote for you. For words are my only way of making you feel my presence. That I'll always be here for you. I know I'm but a nobody right now and who am I to even make and give such gifts, but I do hope you like them.

I love you Liane. And I miss you so much. I will always be here. Always loving you from afar. Remember, it all begins today.
