april 22

i'm now 23... how time flies, yesterday i was just 22 hehe! fortunately, its my restday today kaya no work (haaay! wat a great gift) walang handa, walang budget eh hehe!

i actually doesn't celebrate my birthday during this day (4-22) because this is the same day i lost my cousin (its on my celebration of my 18th bday)... 5 yrs ago, the swimming party turns to be a funeral get together... the birthday which i don't appreciate the greetings "happy birthday"... how can i be happy when you loose someone because of your birthday celebration... my 10yr old cousin got drown in a 7ft pool, we are all there... me, my friends, my siblings, my other cousins, her parents but for some reason nobody ever notice her not until her lifeless body is already floating... my whole body went so numb that time... the resort lack of lifeguard (we rented the resort for that day)... i want to blame myself for what had happened, because if i just celebrated my bday at home we should've avoided it... but my auntie (my cousin's mom) said "kapag mangyayari ang isang bagay mangyayari at mangyayari, ako nga dapat sisihin dito kasi akong nanay nya di ko sha nabantayan".... i was holding the feet of my dead cousin at the mortuary i was hoping that she will wake up na parang walang nangyari... but the reality sinked in when i saw her in a coffin... from that day on, i no longer want to celebrate my bday.. i even wanted to have april 22 erased in the calendar... on my cousin's 1 yr. death anniversary aka my 19th bday , i honestly hated receiving greetings.. i dont want to be remembered on my bday... not until my 21st bday, my mother didn't greet me which makes me sad... i asked her if she forgot my birthday and she said "di ko pedeng makalimutan ang araw na ito dahil isa ito sa mga araw na naging pinakamasaya ako dahil nilabas kita sa mundo, nalulungkot lng ako dahil parang sinumpa mo na ang araw na ipinanganak kita parang pinaparamdam mo tuloy sakin na binabalewala mo ang hirap na dinanas ko mailabas lamang kita ng maayos at kung paanong ang isang paa ko ay nasa hukay sa panganganak sayo".... hearing those sentiments by my mother make me realize, oo nga pla i should celebrate this day not only for me, but also for my mom's victory in giving me life... from that day on, i started appreciating my bday... again...

before dada and i entered couplehood i already know that april 22 is his mom's death anniversary which makes me feel sad way back then because i was thinking how can he celebrate my birthday, if this same day reminds him of the day he lost his mother? however i just told to myself that its God's way of making him happy during this day kasi instead of remebering that this is the day he lost his mother he will remember that this is also the same day that the girl who will love him forever was born.

that is why today i am happy because its MY DAY... APRIL 22... i will always be thankful for this day... thank you mama for the gift of birthday at shempre thank you din sa papa ko...

thanks sa mga gifts that i received, also thanks to all who greeted me and remembered... mwaaah!

here's what makes my day special...

dada's check up

dada's foot is swollen 1 week na yta, i think its boils and the doctor confirmed it... kaso nga lng late na nakauwi si dada today dahil sa tagal turn nya... tpos wlang pang 5mins nyang nakausap ang doctor but then ok na din kasi atleast na-advisan sha ng tama... i just wanted whats good for you, its never my intention to do anything bad (wla lng just thinking aloud)

sadness mode on

i'm so sad today, haaay! my girl friends (mei and rina) went to Puerto Galera today for a 3 days 2 nights vacation at ako, naiwan!!!! blame it to my schedule huwaaah! sana may next time pa.... buti na lng dada is there to make me smile... we'll go to Galera next month, un nga lng depende sa sked pa rin :(

black saturday family bonding

its not really a good idea to have a family outing during holy week! ang daming tao sa beach!!!! grabeh! dis is the 1st time that i went to a beach na di kana makalangoy dahil ang mga tao ay nasa tabi mo na.... anyway, atleast naka pag out of town din ang aking family... yesterday (april 7,2007), we all went to Batangas (si papa, si mama, si rj, si corin, meeeh, si honeyko, si ate, si kuya ryan, mga in-laws ni ate, sila jr at josef, si tito at ang aking mga pinsan) jam packed ang trip noh? actually since na ng start akong mag work... so dats 2 years ago every yir i treated them to a summer vacation so nakaka-2 beses na akong nahoholdap ng mga ito tuwing bakasyon, hopefully they enjoyed it kaso parang hindi eh super crowded kasi unlike last yir... another lesson learned

blog hiatus
