You pull the best surprises on me. 

And the best challenges. 

Baguio.

Donsol. 

All big firsts, 

all with their own kit-n-caboodle of risks, 

fears to conquer, 

hard work, 

discipline, 

and a ton of perseverance. 

But I do believe my experiences this year will be all worth it.

You make my heart thunder in my chest,
and in my head.

You've conspired to make all this happen, 

now let's make it happen.
