September 16-(i know im late but its better than never)

My childhood bestfriend,

Shandella Anne Saunders

aka Della....... let me show you who she is.

 This picture will be always one of our favoritest ;)

We were queens in elementary... so therefore we decide when we want to sit, play and eat with whoever we want but we MADE sure that we are together all the time ;)

 You were always the funny/ foolish/ tough one and i was princess/ girly girly. Even when i told you to play barbie with me instead join boys to play football and you ended up got purple eye. I said " told you so" with snobby attitude but it never stops our friendship :) 

I transfered to CSDR, you went to MSAD and i actually thought i lost my best friend. But, when i moved back to asdb and you moved back too! we started our friendship again from there.. Our style are eww back then :)

Things weren't exactly same as we thought we would be, but we remain good friends anyway and enjoy mocked at our teachers and made our freshmen year really FUNNY.

 I cant find any picture at mssd :( I think i left at home but at least we have ONE picture at gally.. damn we need to take more pics lol. I was there when you shaved ur hair offff :) :) a honor to be able there for you when you gave up something that you did not exactly want to. ;)

Della--

 I just want you to know that you've always been a big part in my life, even though we are kinda in silence friendship right now. But, i would never want to replace those wonderful memories i had with you when we were little. Those memories are countless and priceless. Remember when i got hurt in gym and your mom asked me if i wanted her to call 911... our nicknames.. when i forced you to have your first kiss with dc (laughs)... your infamous dad's army voice/song that made all of us do it in once... our gossips about vanessa and whoever u name it in our class.. our fights over pink power ranger (LOL!) I actually transformed myself to love pink over purple for a year then i realized that i loved purple so i went back to purple as my favorite color....our trips to barbara's home and i literally forced you to broke up with dc (who was man of ur dream).. I may be bossy sometimes and you still love me for who i am. ;) We may not be close as we used to but you always have that sparkle that would make me smile every time i see you. Because i know that you KNEW me the most in a way. There is one thing that we will ALWAYS understand eachother since we were young.. AUNT. You - Zamica when u were like ten or so. I was 11 ongoing 12. We sure love to talk how much we love ur nieces/nephews and my nephews :) Anything related to family, we will related to eachother so easy because we have been there and see each of our family grew and still growing. You're wonderful aunt, sister and daughter and friend and best friend that i once had. Thank you for made my childhood memories CHAMP :)

September 16 1985 is when god decided that this child is going to be a wonderful,laidback, thinker and funny girl to be on earth and be there for next girl who s going born in 3 months later that is going be bossy, want everything in her way and think world of barbie. ;)

Happy Birthday to my dear Jeremias Padilla Valenicaaaa--

 Since the day i was born, you were never once walk front or back of me but always by my side.. even when i didnt ask you to. You are not only a wonderful brother to me but to all of us. You're second of 6.. but YOU  always being a leader to make sure whole family stay together.. even when we seem to falling apart and you managed to put things back to make it normal. You have a gift in you that attract 12405869 people and i dont think if there is a single soul that hates you. When I was a little girl, I never once stop laugh at your jokes, or became bored with your stories. To today, i still love to listen your words of wisdom, your experiences and your wild ideas. When i am down or through a bit rocky time, you will know before i could tell you.. and you would page or slap my head and shake n said " sis.. dont worry..w hat u're through is nothing compare to this and this. keep ur chin up. you have me and family." You empashized how important family is and i learned from you and i am family person just like you. You're strong person and you're not even afraid to speak for your mind. I definitely got this strong willed from you and dad. You have gone through so much things that taught me to not repeat your mistakes.

You're not only great brother/ second father to us, but you're reallllly being a WONDERFUL father of TWO. Noah and Jory are SOOOO lucky to have cool/funny/ openminded/ fun/ athletic father. Scarlett is lucky to have champs husband like you- who practically can do EVERYTHING ;)

 BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

 I can go on and on how good person you are.

All i can say is that i thank god that i have you in my life and i want YOU to know that you're big PART of my life.

I love you, you deserve the best birthday ever! ILYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
