Sir Dee

Sir Dee is next to Ms. Lan in our team in Sony.

Thank you, Sir Dee! For always patiently answering all my questions. Thank you for teaching me the importance of calmness. You did not teach me directly but I saw for myself that in tricky situations, there is nothing more important than being able to stay calm. Even in times of stress, you still get to laugh about the situation. Thanks for being so supportive to me and to all of us in the team.

Thanks, Sir Dee! Today is for you :)

Ms. Lan!

Ms. Lan is my first ever boss. She was my boss when I got my first ever job in Sony.

Thank you , Ms. Lan, for everything! I learned a lot from you being my first boss. Thank you for teaching me to pay attention to the little details because sometimes, it is the littlest things that make the huge differences in things. Thank you also for teaching me to be really patient. Thanks too for being like my mom. For being really patient with me and for allowing me to have leaves even when I was not even a regular employee yet and stuff like that.

Thanks, Ms. Lan! Today is for you :)

Hershie!

Hershie is BJ's girlfriend.

Thanks Hershie!! For being such a nanay to Kd and I. Haha! Thanks for the concern and the thoughtfulness that you have extended to me as BJ's friend and to Kd as well. I have always felt so safe and secure whenever I was with you and BJ.

So there, thank you for being a part of my life. For being so caring and all that.

Today is for you, Hershie :)

Salamat Bidyey!

Bidyey a.k.a. BJ a.k.a. Benedict John a.k.a. Benito Jose.

BJ was 1 of my officemates in Sony Philippines. I learned a lot of things from him --tech stuff (how to setup DVD players, sound systems, LCD TVs, laptops, etc), long boarding, cool artists to listen to and many more.

Spent a lot of time with BJ and I sure as hell enjoyed all of those times. Laugh trip, food trip, road trip kahit anong trip. Thanks BJ! You were like the friend and big brother that I never had. I have a brother but we don't trip like we do. Thank you for always making me feel safe when I was with you. Thank you also for being very open and accepting. You knew everything about me.

Thank you, Bidyey. Today is for you :)

Tito Boy

"Every Filipino has got to have at least one Tito Boy." -Rex Navarette

Tito Boy is Tita Mila's husband. He's sort of straightforward. I dunno, for me he is. He just told me last night that if my goal is too big, I will not be able to make it. I have to begin with the smaller things. Anyway, thank you Tito Boy, for the reality check. I guess I'm thankful because your words keep me on the ground. I dream big but big enough for me to reach? I dunno. But yeah, thanks for reaching out to me, to Kd, to the family. Appreciate it.

Today is for you :)
