My Lola

Lola Coring is really getting a lot older...she's turning 90 this coming August 20th and still able to walk, of course with assistance or use of a cane. You might think that she is still healthy, but if you are to ask me and my parents...she isn't. Her left throat is already paralyzed that's why she is having difficult time eating and drinking plus talking. She has osteoporosis already and is almost bending down while walking. She sometimes can't hear what we are telling her and also forgets what she is doing. She has a lot of ailments already but she is fighting...and trying to be strong. That's why I envy her...for being strong. I guess, that's where I got that kind of attitude. It really runs into our blood, always positive and always strong no matter what.

I love my Lola Coring and I always tell her not to quit living. Sometimes she tells me that she wants to go soon, but I guess, its because of me and her loved ones why she is still trying to live. I hope and pray that God will still give her a lot more years to live so that I could provide her all the things she hadnt experienced when she was still young. I love her so much and I am not ready to lose her yet.

3-Day Black Out!!!

I arrived late at night last Friday...was not expecting something surprising will happen. Well, I opened my window in the condo...turned on the lights but nothing lit up. I thought that something was wrong with the light bulbs so I went straight to my room and turned on the light. Nothing happened...so then I concluded that MERALCO had disconnected my electric/power supply which was then confirmed by the letter I saw in my mailbox later that evening. I felt bad. It was my fault because I did not pay my electric bill before due time. It was something that I really intended to happen...something that I really would love to experience.

Well, it was a 3-night long nightmare for me without power supply. I cant watch tv, cant even turn on my laptop to browse through the internet and lastly, dont have an aircon or electric fan to use. It was hot in the room so I had to open the door in the terrace so that the cool breeze could at least come inside the room. It was really the worse days of my life and I promised to myself that it wont happen to me anymore.

Now, I am back to my normal life. Had paid the electric bill this afternoon and MERALCO immediately went into the condo to reconnect their service in my unit. Haayy...

First Day at work for the Year 2009

Just arrived from work...first day for the year 2009. Today's a special holiday for all employees so there werent a lot of customers who came in to dine. It felt different because the past months had been a very busy for all of us...now, its like a cemetery where only ghosts and dead people exist (hahaha, nice analogy) Anyways, there are a lot of pending paperworks I had to finish so I started doing that. I wanted to feel happy and excited about our upcoming trip to Palawan but I cant. I'm starting to become a loner...I hate it.

I'll just finish all my paperworks so then I'll feel better and happy...nonsense article again. Hahaha.

First two hours of the very first day of New Year!

First day of New Year...

I am already here in the condo, just arrived from Mandaluyong...celebrated New Year's Eve with my family. We weren't complete because my brother is still at work in Shangrila Hotel Edsa. This New Year's Eve is really different from the past years. It's not as exciting as before...somewhat gloomy. My cousin-in-law just recently died and we are still grieving. My Tita Lorna is no longer with us...it was raining...I guess, until now it is raining. People did not buy lots of firecrackers as compared before. Dad only prepared small servings of food. Its really different...this is the only time I did not take any pictures of us celebrating the New Year. Gosh...I hope our new year isn't as gloomy as our New Year's Eve.

I left our house at around 1 AM. Had a chance to say goodbye to everyone before they all started to sleep. I said goodbye to my Lola Coring. She told me she might go abroad soon...I know what she means by it so I told her not to say it. I told her to promise me that she will still live for more years. I felt so nervous and sad when she told me she might "go abroad." But then, she promised me she won't surrender. I love her so much.

I really don't know whether or not there's still something I need to celebrate today. Eversince Tita Lorna died, things felt different, things for me are no longer as wonderful and happy as before. I don't want to lose anyone anymore. They are all important to me and I love them so much.

Enough of the dramas...Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year to Everyone!!!

Its about time...time to start a new. 7 hours from now, a new year will start...a new beginning to everyone.

I have my new year's resolutions list already and I hope that I would be able to follow it. Hehehe.

Well, time for me to go to Mandaluyong. I'll celebrate my New Year's Eve with my family.

Again, Happy New Year to all of us!

Christmas Time

It's Christmas time once more...but I don't really feel it anymore. Though sometimes people greet me and I greet them back, I still don't feel it. I guess, Christmas really is for kids.

Anyways, even if I find Christmas as merely for kids...I would still say that its something to celebrate. This is the only time where people meet together, laugh together, cry together and other mixed emotions. I guess, Christmas is still a special day for everyone.

I am making nonsense again...Merry Christmas to all!!!

The Zamora-Diaresco Nuptial

I just arrived last night from my friend's wedding in Nueva Ecija. Gina Zamora, one of my closest friends in UP just got married to Doney Adrian Diaresco, a very nice man, yesterday at around 3 PM. I was there to witness it and I had sung at least 4 songs during the wedding rites. It was a memorable one as I saw the groom and bride exchanging vows with a smile and with wet cheeks and eyes due to tears of joy. It was really a great day for them and for my UP Barkada. Now, two of my best of friends from UP are married...I still have me and Imee, Ailyn, Aileen, Maila and Shereen on roll call for marriage. Hehehe. I'm guessing its going to be Ailyn.

Anyways, congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Diaresco. I wish you both a happy marriage life and I'll expect to see my godchild soon. Love you guys!
