"May the soul of Aj Perez rest in peace"

-- A text message I received from a friend

And I was like, WHAAAAAAT? So I got my phone, checked my Tumblr dashboard and voila! Aj Perez's death was trending. He died in some car accident at the age of 18. :( Even if I was never a fan of Aj, I was somehow disturbed by his death. I mean, he was so young to die. I continued to view posts about Aj and that's when I came across something that really caught my attention. It was a letter written by Aj Perez himself. No, it wasn't just an ordinary letter, it was a letter to his future girlfriend.

Here's the link if you want to read the letter. It's very sweet. :)

Anyway, after reading his letter, I felt very inspired to write to my future boyfriend! I mean, I don't know where on earth he is now, what he's been up to or how he looks like, if he's the Chuck-Bass-villain type or the typical-goody-goody-Enchong-Dee type but I just want to, you know, write to him! And someday, when I finally get to meet him, I'll have something to show him! ☺

So here it goes...

Dear Future Boyfriend,

First thing's first; CONGRATULATIONS! Finally, someone is able to digest my unpredictability and heartlessness! I mean, I've been told a million times that I'm very hard to impress! Well, you're amazing like that and congratulations to me too 'cause I've finally found you! :))

Hmmmm.


I have no idea if we've met already or you're miles away from me right now but one thing's for sure; I've been praying for you. :) Some say that I'm way too picky and that's why I never got the chance to meet you earlier. I never got the chance to be your high school sweetheart, summer love or prom date. I'm not picky. I just don't think I'm ready for you yet. It might be taking a long time for me to be ready but I think that that's just my way of thanking God for having someone as awesome as you are in store for me. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for handsome guys. Oh believe me, all girls are. But you know, you don't have to be as drop-dead gorgeous as Zac Efron to make me smile. As long as you look clean, I'm cool with it. Also, I'd like to tell you that unpredictability and spontaneity are the third and fourth names my parents forgot to give me. I can be really hard to handle sometimes and I do hope you'd understand me. One thing that really matters to me is your ability to listen to my pointless rants and since I've been praying, I bet you're all ears when I start with my ramblings. Another thing that's very important to me is honesty. To be perfectly honest, I've never been 100% truthful to anyone. Maybe I'm just a little too scared or I might just have reasons even I can't comprehend. No one knows my story yet. What everyone knows is just the gist of it. I'm really excited because I know that you will be first person I'd share my story with. From the beginning until the climax, I'll tell you detail by detail. I wouldn't have to worry about the ending because I know you'll be writing it with me. :) If you must also know, I value my family, friends, career and GOD very much and I do hope you will too 'cause for sure, I will absolutely value whatever you consider vital. Another thing you must know is that I love debates. May it be about politics or who made the 'Worst Dressed' list in the Grammy Awards, I'd like a hint of argument. It's not because I want a fight or something, it's simply because I want to see things at different angle. It's my way of humbling myself and getting a piece of your mind. After all, I can't have my boyfriend agreeing with whatever I say, right? If that happens, our relationship will be a bore! :) Finally, the most important thing you have to know is the key to make me really happy. What is it? It's YOU. Just be you. Don't try to be someone else just to make me happy. I appreciate the effort but you don't really have to try to impress me. It's weird but guys who don't try to impress me, well, impress me. Just be you and I'm happy! As I'm writing this, I can not imagine anyone I know to be reading this in the future. All I know is, again, I've been praying for you and I hope that right now, you are too! :)


Love Your Future Girlfriend,
Bea :)
