funeral tour

Tues afternoon, i was sleeping my head out from the lack of it the night before when 3 of my med friends came over the house and asked me if i could make a macromedia flash animation for the organization orientation on what was supposedly June 10. I took the offer and made them one. My phone rang and it was my friend em with wretched news that my friend's mom just passed away.

I was in awe, shocked! i just couldn't beleive it since i havent hearing from my friend anything bad about his mom having such a medical predicament. all i knew was that his mom has DM type II and that according to my friend has now become systemic (actually it is systemic).

then, fortuitously, another friend gave me the news that one of my med friend and groupmate's dad also passed away. that i wasn't shocked since i know the medical background of his dad. and it was much easier to acccept than the previous news.

Wed came and with pau (friend) we went on a funeral tour.

i came home late at around 3. i rode a taxi on the way home. i rode 2 actually. since the first let me out in buendia after dropping a aj, coz he doesnt know the my place. stupid! the fact that HE IS a taxi driver he should have known roads, places and stuffs that has to do with traffic and MMDA. and he explained that he usu drives in bulacan. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! what is he doing in manila in the first place! shit! so i hail another, which i was forced to be dropped in Multinational since my budget didnt allow me to go any further with his BLAZING SPEED METER (but he was not driving in blazing speed mind you!).

at home i have come to realize, that i am really getting older. that realities of death and sickness is actually apprehending me of future episodes. before when i was a kid with my friends i have always thought that parents are always there...that they will be forever. but now, it all makes sense...everything has its reasons and everything has its end. im fortunate i still have my parents. i lucky to have them still loving each other and caring for each other.

if ever time comes, i dont want to die before my parents do. coz i know they wouldnt hadle it properly. i dont want to be a burden. it would be much easier for me... though not that much...
