I actually didn’t know How to start this message Ate Shi.. hindi me magaling sa mga comfort words or what huhu:(( But anw end na talaga ang story ng CyJo, Real na Real na talaga and I really love the way you wrote them ate shi. I love the flow of the story and how each character can sometimes be irrational—literally purely human. Ramdam mo talaga na parang totoo sila every time binabasa ko yung narrations. And reading ALMW makes me happy because it makes me feel like I have something to hold onto… something to look forward to tomorrow. something i dream about gentle parenting hhahaha And it’s always been like that since YSD too, Ate shi… 🥹🤍
Reading Cyjo feels like a reminder to me that it’s okay to feel pressured or tired, as long as you have a family na matatakbuhan mo everytime na napapagod kana or what. I also have a wish, the same as Ligaya’s wish to Joy. Because younger me dreamed of having a complete family, like how Ligaya prayed for. So reading Cyjo story feels like a home and comfort. That’s why I really love it whenever there are JC family AUs. Parang may part sa’kin na nahe-heal. Ganun yung feeling ko sa CyJo huhu dhsjjw. And tumatak talaga sa’kin yung sinabi ni Cy (CBTY AU) kay Sin noon: “Love is forgiving.” Ganun ko nakikita ang CyJo—yung love nila mas lumalalim, mas lalong tumitibay because of Ligaya :((
Like, wdym they forgive and heal each other because they want to give Ligaya a happy and complete family??
And after reading Cyrus’ backstory, mas lalo ko siyang naintindihan :(( naiyak ako sa line na sinabi ni Cyrus:
“Mas gusto ko, kuya, yung simple life lang sa province. A small coffee shop, tapos the only sound you hear is birds whistling in the morning. Tapos darating yung asawa mo kasama ang mga anak niyo, then they'll say, ‘Good luck sa work, Papa.’ Something like that, kuya.” bcs Little Cyrus dreamed of having a family back then. Gusto niya lang yung payapang buhay kasama ang pamilya niya, and that really broke me :((
And now look—they’re finally happy:((
Kasama na nila yung ball of sunshine nila Tokyo and Ligaya 🥹🤍 They finally have a peace and happy ending they deserve, and ligaya missing puzzle is finally complete bcs anjan na yung papa cy nya:(( Parang dati lang hinihiling nya lang kay joy na mag stay papa nya kahit hindi nya alam na anak sya ni cy, And now look ang layo na nila.
I’m so, so proud of Cyrus bc he can finally live a peaceful life kasama sila Joy, Ligaya, and Tokyo na wala nang bitbit na bigat or pressure galing sa pagiging ceo nya:(( Now hindi na sya si Ceo Cyrus Leo Almonte and finally natupad na din nya yung pangarap nyang coffee shop kasama sila joy, hindi ko ma explain yung saya sa puso ko ngayon ate shii naiiyak talaga ak legit huhu 🥹🤍
and ofc i’m so proud of joy to bcs hindi biro talaga maging single parents like 6 years na kaya nya buhayin si Ligaya ng mag isa lang sya??? 🥹🥹 Super strong ni joy and I want to hug him, ate shi:((
I’m so, so happy, ate shii... Like, hindi ko ma-explain yung saya ko every time ikaw yung nagsusulat ng mga JCs AUs. I love, love you 🥹 Thank you for writing them and for sharing CyJo’s story with us. Since YSD, I never doubted your writing skills. Elian, Levi, Cyrus, Joy, Ligaya, Tokyo have a special place in my heart. <33 See you next aus?? hehe love u ate shi mwa hopee to see u soon, my number favorite author ^^
