Goodbye Tita Lorna

It was on the night of September 26th when I received a text from one of my cousins, Ivy. She told me that my aunt, her mom, was in the hospital and had stroke. I thought it was just a mild stroke until I was able to talk to my uncle who said that my aunt was in a very critical condition. It was a shocking moment for me when he added that my aunt is dying. Never had I seen my aunt cried or complain about her health except the past few weeks when she texted and told me that she can't go to the center and process the BIR forms. I kept on texting my aunt telling her to go to the hospital at that time and have a check up. She always say that she was okay. So I believed her...but this time, its different.

I was at the center in Las Pinas when I heard the news about my aunt's serious condition. So then, with Erwin, we went to the Mandaluyong Medical Hospital and saw my aunt lying in bed at the Emergency room. She looks so tired and in coma. I cant really recall, but I saw my cousin pumping the manual oxygen so that my aunt could breathe. I felt so weak at that time, had all tears in my eyes. It was too painful to see my aunt like that. The doctor told us (he keeps on saying this) that there's no way that my aunt will survive this...she no longer has reflexes and her brain is filled with blood already. She had aneurysm, a deadly and serious condition. I kept on telling my dad to transfer her to another hospital for an operation but the doctor keeps on telling us that there's no hope. I felt so angry at the doctor, especially the entire administration of the hospital. My aunt was in need of serious treatment but none of them did any action to bring her back. She wasn't even given an immediate oxygen at the ER. It took more than 6 hours before the hospital could provide her with an oxygen tank. I left at around 2 am, the following day because I have work. I texted my cousin, Ivy and told me that the transfer at UERM Hospital has been approved but my cousin still has to bring the referral form to the hospital before they could transfer my aunt. What a crap! My aunt is dying and still they have to do this kind of process? It was a terrible day.

I don't really know what time they've transferred my aunt in UERM but I know for sure that it was too late. After the work, I immediately went straight to UERM and saw my aunt there still in coma. My cousin, Leander told me that my aunt is dying and that there's no hope. We cried...it was too painful for all of us. Tita was a very strong person. She was always a fighter...never surrendered in any battles of life. She's one of the best aunts I have. She always greets me on my birthday and sometimes brings Puto Pao on my birthdays or whatever special occasion would that be. We love her so much.

It only lasted around 2 days...my aunt passed away without even saying a word. She just waited for her mom, my Lola at around 10 am of September 28 before she finally gave up. She was a special person to all of us. Never complaining...

If there's one person I really admire most, that would be my Tita Lorna..a true fighter since the day she was born. I love you Tita Lorna and I will never forget you. You will always remain in our hearts. Goodbye but not forever.

This is the first time I celebrated my birthday without you texting me. I will really miss you and hope you are happy wherever you are.

Problems...

Why do problems come when you are most vulnerable? Why can't you just face one problem at a time? Why do they come in "tons" at one single time?

These are the questions I always ask myself which until now, I dont know how to answer. Anyways, I guess its just one way for God to test my strength and faith. I know that these problems will eventually end. These will be a laughing joke for me later on.

If you are reading this blog right now, a piece of encouragement will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Meet the Ex...

How would you feel if you found out that your boyfriend/girlfriend just suddenly started seeing or talking to his/her ex-lover? Would you feel jealous and mad with your boyfriend/girlfriend? Would you ask your boyfriend/girlfriend to stop seeing his/her ex-lover or else you would break-up with him/her?

There are a lot of answers to these questions and each answer would depend on the personality of the person. I guess, I would still continue the relationship with my lover but will ask her to stop seeing the ex. It's not going to be healthy to our relationship and none of us will benefit from it.

This is really upsetting...

To Die and Live Again

I would like to dedicate this song to all those people who are special to me...who are no longer here with us. We will miss you a lot.

Look What Happened!!!

What do you really hate doing in the house? Well, some would say cleaning the house or washing dishes. But as for me, i hate doing laundry the most. I hate it so much that I don't even wash my own underwears and hankerchiefs. Its either mom or dad who does the laundry every Thursday ever since.

Well, since the day I started earning money...I just bring my dirty clothes to a "Laundry Shop" and have them dry clean it for me. I have been doing this for the past 4 years and I've never encountered or rather experienced any problems about it. Most of the laundry shops I've entrusted my clothes with were satisfactory. Not until a couple of days ago when I received my "cleaned clothes." 3 of my white polo shirts turned color pink. I never had pink shirts and I am not really comfortable wearing pink clothes. So I went back to the laundry shop and asked them to do something about it. They did something but it failed. I let them fix it for two days but nothing happened. So I decided to just let it be...got my "new" clothes which I will never wear. Anyways, they gave me a "points reward card" for the inconvenience which I believe I will never ever use since I'm thinking of changing a new laundry shop. I guess, I'm just really "mabait."

Be careful with laundry shops guys...just be more cautious about letting them wash or clean your clothes. Always tell them that they need to be careful in washing your clothes (although they know that already)

This is all!
