LOVE LETTER

Evelyn,

Uy, tgl n ntng di ngkusap. Ano n b nngyari s yo? Tumatawag ako sa yo nung isang araw, di mo sinasagot ang fone. Anu ka ba? Kung sa tingin mo, nbawasan ang pgtingn ko s yo, Nagkakamali ka. Kahet ganun ang nangyari sa atin, ito pkatatandaan mo - Mahal na Mahal pa rin kita!

Alam ko, masakit yung gnwa mo sa kin. Pero kahet na ganun, dahil mahal na mahal kita, iniintindi kita. To tell you honestly, I cried when I learned about it. Natawa nga ako sa sarili ko eh, bat ba ako naiyak? Para akong sira no? ;-) Pero siguro, kaya siguro ganun, may ibig sabihin yun. Ganun kalaki ang pagmamahal ko sa yo. Medyo weird ang feeling eh, pero ganun eh. True love ata ito! Di lang naman kse tayo dapat padadala sa emosyon naten, dba? Imbes nga na magalit na lang ako bigla sa iyo, inisip ko na lang - Bat kaya nagawa mo sa akin yun? Inisip ko, ako ba ang nagkamali? Nagkulang ba ako? May nasabe ba akong di maganda? Or may hindi ba akong nasabe na dapat kong sabihin sa yo? Kilala kse kita – alam ko pag naglalambing ka, gusto mo na icompliment kita. But anyway, masakit man. I really didn't expect that you will do that to me. It comes as a surprise. Pero kahet na ganun – Pinapatawad pa rin kita.

Isa lang naman ang hiling ko sa yo eh. Mahalin mo lang ako – ng totoo.

At sana, wag mo na ulit gagawin yun.

Nagmamahal,

Jesse

ps. Punta ako Novena mamaya,

May confession dun.

Tara usap tayo.

The LOVELETTER above is a rephrasing of the PALM SUNDAY REFLECTION GUIDE of the Priest who celebrated MASS @ the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd last Saturday. He summarized the significance of this Holy Week into 4 statements. Rephrasing, He said, “Dear Friends, in this Holy week I wont give you a SERMON. Instead, I would give you 4 points to REFLECT ON. That is -

1. Jesus Loves You

2. Jesus Forgives You

3. Love HIM and

4. Sin no more

   May this Holy Week help us feel how much we are Truly LOVED by Christ.

Have a meaningful Holy Week,

JC

TRANSLATION (well at least, almost ;-))

Xia Wa,

Hey ya! Why u nvr return my call ah? Try call u but never picked up, leh. Why like that, ah? Been long time never see one, some more we never talk one. If you think, my love for you has changed oredi. No lah! Still the same one. Remember! coz, I luv u, ok?

But you know, what u did to me – pain pain me v much. But even like that, dun worry lah, cause my love for you so big. Try to understand u some mo. But I cry cry leh when I learned that. But just dont mind it lah. At times I jst laughed at myself, cause dunno why I cried. Me like siao siao, right? But I think, this is true love one! Instead of me just be angry at you, I jst asked myself “Why like that?” Did I do wrong at you? Am I the one to blame one? Or I say something wrong? Or I did forget something? - I know - cause you at times, u wan me tell u good things to make u feel good, ya? I know you lah! But even though it pained very hard, I forgive you, ok?

Jst want you to love me, ok?

And never do that again, ya?

Xoxo,

Ye Su
