the mermaid is back...

ynna is here!!!!

after three weeks of vacation, she's back here in Manila. She needs to process her application for a masteral's degree in creative writing. I've always admired those who are able to immortalize their thoughts and feelings. Ynna is one of them.

I remember the very first time I was able to read one of her works. It was in her house along P. Noval. She was preparing her things for our "midterm camp" at kuya dan's. We were just starting to get to know each other since we were to become future "sisters." Who would have thought that that night will be the start of a relationship I will treasure forever? She asked questions which were not supposed to be asked by a classmate. I don't know what made me answer those questions. I usually just laugh and deny everything. But with Ynna, it was the opposite. I cried and told her everything.

She then showed me one of her literary works. It was like she took the words out of my mouth. What was written was what I was keeping inside. It is not because I can easily relate to anything and everything. But it was the way she wrote it. And the emotions behind her words..

She's been having anxiety attacks. She fears that her works are not good enough. She really wants to be accepted in UP. Tomorrow, she will pass her application. I hope she gets accepted. I know she will be. Love you Ynna!!
