I made this post for my FCL project. Nothing more. I don't like writing when I'm not in the mood. However, when I was writing this, I was touched and moved by everything that came into my mind.

My family is a medium-sized one. I have a sister and two brothers who are all very nice. My big sister Mira is an accountant, and she is a very good fashion consultant. She lives with her husband Vladimir and their unico hijo Andre. My bigger big brother Jay works online. He has two children, Milan and Troy; and a super wife named Joy. My other brother, Edward is a seminarian. He sings well and is the music director in Casiciaco Recoletos Seminary.



My mom unfortunately passed away recently. She died last Sept. 20 because of a massive heart attack. Mom is a very good person. She cooks well, and she was the one who taught us all how to sing and dance.

My dad is a mechanic who specializes in air conditioning. He loves my mom so much.

My family is a happy one. We love each other so much and we make time for each other. Kuya Jay and Ate Mira both have families, but they make it a point to visit us every single time available. Edward is the joker. He tries to make us laugh at all times, and with us four complete, we can make a scene go crazy. *wink*

We all love the same things: eating lavishly, going to extra special places, playing board games, getting together, good things. We love being with each other all the time.

One of the things I'm most thankful of is that we love each other solidly that even death can't separate us. When my mom died, I could see that each one of us worked and tried our best to make the wake memorable. We help each other when we are in need. We come to each others doorstep when we need someone to lean on. Other people say friends are better advisers, but that is not applicable to our family. Everything has to be discussed within the four corners of the house, whomever that house may be. :D


I'm thankful that we we're raised the religious way. Edward always tells us that in everything, "God's will be done". We follow that all the time. We believe in God alone.

I'm happy we're blessed with talents we use everyday. We all speak fluent English, and we are all musically inclined. We sing a lot of songs together. There was even a time when Edward and I got cellphones just for singing. We have our own approaches to life which all boil down to one thing: unity. What we have, what we know, what we believe in is for all of us.

I am supposed to recollect what I often wish my family were. I can only think of a few shallow things.

I wish my parents gave us the freedom and responsibility we needed to have when we were young. Yes we were free of obligations, but that didn't help much in reality. Reality is not just books. It's also about learning what to do when you need it. We are learned, but we are inexperienced.

I wish I could turn back time to when my mom was still alive. She should have known about what's good for her health. As I've said, we love good food, sinful food. I don't regret being able to taste the most delicious food on Earth. However, I would've told my family "stop" when health was at stake.

I'm happy I'm in the family I'm in now. I couldn't think of another family better than mine. I have the best dad, the best mom, the best sister, and the best brothers in the whole world. I thank God for putting me in a family like ours. No regrets. I love them all.

Messages:

To ate, thank you for taking care of us when we were at our lowest. Life is better now that we are together.

Kuya Jay, thank you for being who you are right now. Thank you for everything.

Kuya Jec, thanks for staying with me and Dad. Thank you for the prayers. God bless. :D

Dad, stay the same. Do good and avoid evil.

I love you guys.

"bye mom.. you will forever be in our hearts. forever, mom. no more pain. rest now. we love you."

Sept. 20,2009, 10:57am. My mom died due to a myocardial infarction as complication to diabetes and kidney problems.

"Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, is the interruption of blood supply to part of the heart, causing some heart cells to die. This is most commonly due to occlusion (blockage) of a coronary artery following the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, which is an unstable collection of lipids (like cholesterol) and white blood cells (especially macrophages) in the wall of an artery. The resulting ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and oxygen shortage, if left untreated for a sufficient period of time, can cause damage or death (infarction) of heart muscle tissue (myocardium)."--http://www.wikipedia.org

My mom complained of chest and back pain that is TMTH. She was literally screaming with pain. I saw everything. I saw the doctor insert an Ambu bag through her mouth. I saw the nurses insert a catheter and an NGT. She was in so much pain. She even asked the nurse "wag mo ako sasaktan ha?" (don't hurt me,okay?) The day before that, she was already in pain, but due to financial problems, we weren't able to make a way. When the doctors came, it was too late. She died suffering. She died in pain. *aww*

I saw her get hurt. :( She endured so much physical pain that she wasn't able to live another hour to talk to us. We were really puzzled why none of us (her children) came during the time she was suffering. She even allowed me to go out. Maybe she didn't want us to see her in pain. I will never get over it if I saw that scene. *sniff*

I cried and cried. I love my mom so much. Everyday in her wake, I think about the good things and bad things we went through. She is a strong woman. *nod* My sister and my brothers tell me it's okay but I can see they are hurt too. My dad is also sick. I have to be strong for him. I just have to. *huhu*

Now, we will never get into that house she plans to renovate fo us three. We will never taste her superb cooking again. I will never feel her soft touch on my face again. *sigh*

But I'm happy she's rested. She now got the elusive sleep she wants to have. (really.) She'll never be cold in the arms of God. Never ever.

Mom is strong. She could have fought the battle once again, but decided not to because she wants us to learn. She is no doubt awesome.

I am so proud of her.

"someday mom,we'll meet again.."

Took this quiz on Facebook today and I'm surprised it's 95% correct..^^

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.


so this is true huh?
