a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone.

it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst.

***

she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces.

i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times.

looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila.

i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classes in masci would end late.

she was a guardian and a mentor.

having a tita with PhD in physics, andami kong references nung high school sa physics. hehe. at ngayon nakakahiyang isipin  ung mga nkukuha kong grades nitong college sa physics. na hindi ko man sinabi sa kanya noon, malamang ngayon alam na niya. hehe.

for the past years,
consecutive cancer cases has surprised us.

my lola, from my father's side died of the cancer affecting the lymph nodes, 2 years ago.
my tito (mom's brother) died of lung cancer may of last year.
and just today, my tita (mom's sister) died of leukemia.

it's just soo depressing. :(

and what's more depressing is the thought that none of them wanted any of these to happen. that all of them still wanted to survive especially for the people around them. but that their bodies just gave up. :(

saad.

prayers.

***

my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, three years ago, i think. she is fine and well now after surgery and chemotherapy years ago, and she is taking medicines for maintenance. yet i can't help but be scared :(

hay. more prayers.

***

at least tita will no longer suffer and feel pain,
she'll be with Him once again and be happier.
but we'll surely miss her. :(

  7. True. Besides, maybe they'd feel bad if they knew we're sad because of them. Ipokrito ako kung sasabihin kong 'wag kang malulungkot; I just hope you get over this soon. :)

    Live healthy! :D

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...
