In life, there’s only that one person who can understand you without even tryin’ to explain anything. Who will protect you without even askin’ for it. Who loves you unconditionally. Who can forgive you without even sayin’ sorry. The one that will stand at your side forever. And the one that lifts you up when you’re feeling down. That person who gives her full support on you and trust you like no one else.
Happy Mother’s day to my Mommy and Mama!
It’s not-so-me to say this kind of words. But for you, I will. I love you and I will not do anything to take away the trust that you gave me. I know most of the times I let you down and hurt your feelings. I know I’m a hard-headed kid. But still you didn’t push me away. You are the kindest person I’ve known. Thank you for everything that you’ve made and sacrificed for me. And for all the wrong things that I’ve done, I’m really sorry. I know one day, I’ll make it up to you and be the kind of person you wanted me to be. I know you’re having a hard time dealing with my “late attitude”. Even my greetings comes in late. Sorry for that. :)
Happy mother’s day also to my Nanay Mau, Nanay Baby Col and Nanay Baby Sol. Also to Mommy Eve’s.
I’m so much blessed with lots of mother’s to take care of me.
23rd
For the past year of my life, I traveled a lot. Saw fascinating places and met wonderful people. I spent time with my whole family. Though not a one big reunion. Ate Ghie and Teng visited Philippines last April and we went to Capiz, Bora and some places here in Manila with Mommy, Dad and his kids and Papa Bong and his family. Last June, Mama, Papa De and Tita Eyeen went here in Manila and we spent time in Palawan. Last August, Tita Che arrives and we went to Tagaytay. Though it was not the reunion that we always had before that everyone is here and I’ve been wishing to happen again, I’m happy that in that way, we saw each other again. We’re counting years for that to happen again.
I started to share my salary to my family. I give Mom allowance and pay our internet and telephone bill at home. I started to work on a new company but then filed my resignation letter after 6 months. I started to fix things around.
This past year made me realized things. You choose what you think is the best for you and everyone around you. And once you made a choice, there’s no turning back. Regrets can happen. But you cannot go back to the way it was before.
Another thing is that our life is just a borrowed gift from God. He’s the only one who can tell whether we can take it for too long or just a matter of time. Don’t be shy to tell your family that you love them. Kiss them. Hug them. Ask for forgiveness if you really have to. And make them feel special. Cause when God takes back the gift he lends you, you cannot do the same thing again. Don’t waste the moment that life is giving you.
I also come to the point of realizing that the person you thought would be a perfect one for you turns out to be a disaster. Too good to be true. And long distance relationship doesn’t last long once communication, the only thing that connects you is gone.
It’s only a chapter of year has passed but it has a lot of pages. About my family, relationships, work and everything.
Leap year
From the moment I woke up, I kept thinking of what to do on this day. It’s a leap year and it only comes once in every four years. I want this day to be something I must remember with. I started thinking of who to spend the day with. Then a thought comes up to my mind. I don’t know if that’s even a good idea. For me, I was just kidding around. I started sending quotes to five special guys. Sayin to myself that the first one to reply must be my date for today and I must take him seriously. To my surprise, that someone whom I never really thought would text back is the first. But how can things fall out my way when I already took him seriously before. And now there’s not even a single chance to do it again.
Unpredictable life
I have a relative who is 81 years old already. He suddenly feels pain on his throat so they went to the doctor in Marinduque. The doctor said that he was suffering from tonsilitis. Then they asked for a 2nd opinion on some doctors and they said that it’s tuberculosis. So they decided to bring him here in Manila to be checked by specialist. As the results says, he has a lung cancer. That was Friday when they diagnose that sickness. And he is about to undergo some test on Monday. On a quiet night of Saturday, he passed away.
What’s so creepy about that is the morning of the day he passed away, we visited him and play cards with his daughter on their terrace as he was lying in bed on their living area. We went home by 10pm. As we’re about to sleep, her daughter was calling us that they will bring him to the hospital. And when we arrived their, the doctor declared that it’s dead on arrival.
That makes me realize that life is really unpredictable. We don’t know when someone is leaving us. A night that things happened, I texted Mommy and Mama saying that I love them and I miss them.
It was really a traumatic experience for me cause after that thing on the hospital, me and my cousin needs to accompany the kid’s at their house. So we went there at 2am and stayed until a reliever arrives. Creepy it is! I can’t even go to their bathroom. And we stayed only in one place.
And then I found out that he was once a soldier who fought on wars before. And he also became a reserved army for Philippine Military. I didn’t know that until he passed away. When he was transferred to Marinduque, the army put a Philippine Flag on the top of his casket.
Too bad he didn’t tell me stories about his fight when he was still younger. Now, I’m more interested on my family background.
