When death comes suddenly, there is little time to prepare. In contrast, watching an older person become increasingly frail may mean that it's hard to know when the end of life begins because changes can happen so slowly.

It's the burial of a second mother of mine, the coolest auntie ever!! From having the craziest haircuts and the most laughable jokes..

A story of her to dreadful to tell, for she suffered a lot.

Nasa labas ako ng church waiting for Eunice, melon, and keeno.. Yess, I tried to keep everything away and focus on what will happen next. Nakita ko sila gate palang, and my heart won't calm down..

Sorry ara langg, si Keeno bein tarda mobe- sabi ni Eunice

Okays, na entra ya tah.

I seated at the end of right and he was in the end of left. 


His presence feels soo close yet seems so far.



The burial mass ended..

As time passes, here we are saying are broken hearted goodbyes for the person we loved the most. From the memories that will never be forgotten.

We stay another the mango tree as people offer flowers to the coffin.

In the five stages if grief, there was denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. I see them all now, a scenario to crucial to watch.

As I look away..

I saw him, and he was crying

It hurts me to see the one that I love cries, in his eyes I see pain, the pain that no one deserve specially him.

I was about to approach him-

Pero hinde pwede, hinde dapat ako ang mag comfort sakanya..

Sino lang naman ako.. I'm a nobody..

As acceptance is the last stage but to difficult to do. 

Sat under the mango tree while resting—

About to go home, and he forgot his phone..



Control my thoughts


Convincing myself it's your loss


I really mean it and I'm


Starting to believe it


Keeno phone moo, I said


'Cause every day I let go just a little bit more


In the end, I'm gonna be alright


But it might take a hundred sleepless nights


To make the memories of you disappear


Awh thank you.. he said back

And again, he wasn't the sol that I admired.


But right now, I can't see nothing through these tears
