Okay really long update coming up. Let's start with Valentines Day. Everyones been looking forward to it but the most unusual thing happened to me. At 7am I got a phone call from my aunt, pronouncing that my uncle, Tito Madie (mama's brother) passed away. It was heartbreaking and shocking at the same time. I couldn't believe the horror of it because he was just over the condo 3 months ago, perfectly healthy and happy and now he's not here. Heart failure caused it, apparently it was already too late for everything, even before he was scheduled to go to the Manila Heart Center this weeks Monday.
So going back to the phonecall, my aunt was telling me the bad news and obviously it took me some time before it actually sank in my slow brain. As bad as it is, my aunt told me to spill the news to my mom, because she couldn't get a hold of my mom, herself. I, too, tried my moms cell but no one was picking up because she was eating breakfast. So I tried my sisters. And she was able to answer hers although I didn't know how to break the news in a more comforting manner. Infact, there was no easy or comforting manner to tell someone that a person they're close to passed away. I just did the direct approach to get it over with.
Got ready for church and was in no mood to do anything nor sing. But nobody else woulda volunteered. I was extremely drained from lack of sleep to having your inner flesh shiver with the shock of what went on previously. I felt like I wanted to cry but I couldn't cry infront of these strangers. Basically, didn't enjoy Valentines. Went out with some friends and had some Shakey's Super Chocolate shake. Yum!
Sundown came and I couldn't get my sleep up til 5am. Woke up the next day at 11am chatting with my mom and my sister. They cheered me up and updated me with what went down. I miss them so much. Basically it wasn't the smooth Valentine celebration I thought would happen. Haha, Monday evening came. I was cleaning up and throwing the rubbish when I effin had to absent-mindedly lock myself out. Of course I had too much on my mind to think of it but I swear I don't remember locking the door. I had to wait for my sis to get back and hand me the keys. After 2 hours of waiting for her, unfo, she didn't have hers either. Going to plan C which was calling our uncle who had the other copy. He was the closest there was and when he came, he brought the wrong set of keys so we had no choice but to break down the lock. Blahh, in short, everything was going wrong.
Praying to God that it would go uphill from here. :( Please pray for my uncle's soul and for us.
Life has been a mixed roller coaster ride these past few days. From the death of our uncle to my parents dropping by and paying their respects. To the blessed trips to experiencing amazing cuisines all over Manila. To the fact that my sister won first place in DLSU's Civil Eng Fun Run for 2010. To the mere fact that I have friends who care about me! Its been one hell of a joy ride and I am so grateful to God for giving me a chance to bond with my parents over the short time that was given to us. Its during times like these when you get tested by appreciating what you already have and using it to its full potential to get through all the obstacles life puts you through. Ahh, its all mixed emotions but nonetheless, I'm thankful for everyone and everything that I have.
Was looking for a dress for my little sister, J when I passed through the Crepes& Cream outlet in RPE. Mama treated me to a hot fresh slice of Spicy Tuna Onion Crepes and mmm, YUM! They used Century Tuna's Hot& Spicy stock. I'd reckon their products taste anywhere.
This was tooken yesterday while walking, hence the blurry image. Its Crepes& Cream's infamous Chocolate Temptation. This little number is so heavenly. The combination of every ingredient never fail to make me enjoy every bite. This one's my fav!
High 5 on the new nail do! I was suppose to give me a new french tipped nail but blah I gave up after the 6th try. I need to work on my impatience :)
