This is a first..

Yesterday morning (November 25, 2007), when I woke up, I went straight to our bathroom and did the usual morning ceremonies. Actually, the morning felt so nice coz it's been a while since i got to sleep at 3am and woke up at 1pm.

Then I proceeded to our Dinning Room since it was already lunch time and everyone else was eating some KFC. I started chewing the juicy chicken when suddenly..

..out of the blue, my mom said "Ay beh, patay na si tita daks.."

I paused for a moment and I was like "HA? ANU? SERYOSO BA YAN? KELAN PA? BAKIT?."
I can't help but ask! ask, ask, and ask!! That's all I was able to do!

Back then crying was not an option because we're all eating on the table. Sure, the news had an impact on my mind but not on my heart, yet.

So the day passed by like it was an ordinary day, but, of course, everyone was giving out an aura of sadness.

When the night came, as I was about to sleep, I remembered Tita Daks..
She was an old lady who, though married, doesn't have any children.
Very often she would come here at our house and chat with us. Do stuff like sewing our long pants and the likes. She would do anything of her abilities just to satisfy our needs for labor work.

I remember how she took care of me when I was sick and my mom was not here in Manila. I phone called her and immediately, she came over and gave me a warm body massage to relax my body. The next day, I got well.

I remember her coming here every time there's a party and she would help prepare all the needed materials and ingredients. She's a good cook!
Actually, I was waiting for her return from the province so I could again taste the delicious and mouth-watering Fried Rice that she makes.

Unfortunately, there's no more next time. I can't even recall now the last time I was able to savor the great taste of that food.. When she cooked that fried rice, she said that it was made just for us siblings and that it is of her very own special recipe. I felt the love on that food as I ate it. Really I did. and as I was remembering it, my eyes started to swollen and tears rolled down my cheeks.

I lost a mother..

I was breaking down..no doubt about it.

The feeling was an alien to me. Never did I experience losing someone who's very very very close to me. It was like, a piece of my glass heart was taken away from me by force. It was a big piece indeed.

Lastly, I remembered her...and her laugh..her very unique laugh..a laugh from her heart.. the tenderness of her voice..the amusement in her voice as she says "uwaahhh..." and "aha..ha..ha.. aray ginoo..!"


Oh GOD, why her!? We need her in our lives! No matter how much I make myself believe that if its the person's turn to go, she would be taken by the Lord and make her rest in peace eternally..still!!...call me selfish or whatever you want but i just want her back..

I Love You Tita Daks.
You'll remain in my heart forever.

Surprise Party

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONG!!

It's my nephew's birthday today and we, his LOL family with Jestine and Meggie, threw a surprise party for him yesterday in Korea's condo Unit!

The past days must have been hard for him because we've been intentionally avoiding him..but we don't have a choice! That was the only way for us to be able to prepare for the party without him knowing that its a "Surpise Party".
Of course he would doubt that we have 'something' planned but what is it? that was the question.. ^___^ hahahhaha!

Sorry Bong! no worries! The LOL family will spend lots of time with you again!


The preparation.....
Yesterday, right after our Fil102 class, Ivy, Yua and I dropped by Shangri-la to buy Hotdog balls, cheese and Coke. Kuya Kalbo went after us leaving Bong with Lalay in UA&P. After arriving at Ivy's place, we discovered that we didn't have enough ingredients and materials...such as plates and glasses.. -___-

Kuya had to do some *cough* -thing and Yua, with Ivy, went to the market..
I was left alone at Korea's place T___T *sniff* so I cleaned up a bit and played with the balloooons! weeeehhhhhhhhhh!!

Then, the two came back (Yua and Ivy) and Yua lost his cellphone. ouch..
Lalay came and we started cooking the spaghetti. The three of us, Yua, Lalay and Me, were chopping the onions and what would you expect? teardrops? lots of it dear! hahaha!

Nugz arrived with Jestine and Meggie! weeeeehh!! the more the merrier!
When daddy appered, we made him do the cheese..i mean, like.. (I dont how to say it in both Filipino and English!! grrrhh!) ...basta! It's for the Spaghetti! muhahhahah! Such a cute thing for a big guy to do. ^___^

Finally, Kuya came back (past 5:30pm na) with the Birthday Boy! weeeeeeeeeeeehhh!! Kainan naaaa!!~ hehehhe! inuman na rin! hahahha!

I tried the Blueberry Vodka...GOD! it tastes soooo good! Goodbye Nestle Iced Tea and Hello Vodka! wahhahah!! Joke! (jokes are half-meant! hahahhah!)

It was really fun! frying ang washing the dishes at the same time! hahahha! Fun Fun Fun all the way!

The party finished late so i had to sleepover (again) at Ivy's place. Mommy knows and it's legal. hahahhaha! We, Ivy, Bong ang me, slept on the floor (sala) coz we were watching King Kong. Ivy and I sang "Happy Birthday" to Bong when the clock stuck 12am. We had a short chat and went to sleep already.

Such a tiring day but very memorable..it makes me cry T___T

I never tried organizing a party for a friend before and it was a good experience. I'll never forget the first time I cooked for someone else's birthday other than my family's.

Our DEAR Filipino102 teacher gave us an assignment...translate the following to Filipino language:

1. Show me a man who cannot do little things and show me a man who cannot be trusted to do big things.
2. The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes but in liking what one does.
3. Every sunrise is a message from God and every sunset, his signature.
4. You can never do righteousness too soon for you’ll never know how soon it will be too late. It’s now or never.


Good Luck! T___T
