Dear Diary,
It's been three years since I have written my diary entry here. It's been three worthwhile years that many things have changed, and many things have passed.
My Grandma Angie had passed away on 31st August 2021.
I miss you so much. You have been my greatest grandma that I could ever have. You retired of almost 35th year (of being a professor in Biology and Physical Education for Arellano University) at age of 53 years old in March 1997 as I were born that year. You were there for me in the very beginning for almost 25 years. It was a start of a friendship and a loving relationship between mommy and I.
We are so happy that you took care of me and Kakay. We're very thankful and blessed to have you in our life, mommy. You, mommy influenced and taught me and Kakay how to act, sing and dance. You have the best Pork Adobo! No one comes close!
I can recount the memories since from my birth up to now that I am a full grown adult. From my preschool days in New Manila, kindergarten and primary and secondary school days in Hong Kong, to my college and university days back in Manila, you were there. Always there to support me and Kakay. We used to dance when I would sing to you. You also have a voice that influenced us. You taught me that love is patient, love is kind, love is everlasting, love is you - you are love, and you are loved by us.
I love you mommy.
You have been the force of this family. You are the light, hope, truth and love. We owe this to you! We dedicate this life and our achievements to you. We love you. We miss you.
Forever in our hearts.
As your favourite song by French popstar Mylène Farmer "Bleu Noir" (Blue Black), I quote this: "La bataille est belle. Celle de l'amour. Disperse tout. La bataille est belle de longs, longs jours. Mon amour." (The battle for love is beautiful, everywhere you go. The battle of long days, for you my love."
My Grandpa Fred soon followed Grandma, and also passed away on 8th November 2021.
If we could turn back time, we'll still be young... and you'll still be here.
My daddy Fred passed on 8th November 2021. He's strong, lived his life to the fullest at 81. He's very much funny and knowledgeable. He is a person who likes to make conversations about countless things you could ever think of. He is after all, Daddy Fred.
All the things, history and geography, the fun facts, the trivial and the taste in travel, music, movies, fashion, and cuisine... he's the go-to-guy for me!
3 FUN FACTS:
We both don't eat sushi!
We both studied Political Science!
We both love to talk and exchange ideas on politics, science, history, and many more...
I hope you both are well in Heaven. Please guide us here on Earth. We love you and we miss you! We'll never forget our times together.
You both are the best grandparents I could ever have! When I was born, you both were ready to take care of me - your first apo (grandchild)! I cherish this first 24 years of my life, with you! Thank you so much to the both of you.
Also worth noting, it's been almost two years since there was the COVID-19 Pandemic. So, we are currently staying in Hong Kong. Both me and my sister are on our second and third year, respectively in our BS Music Business Management at Meridian International (MINT) College (Ortigas Philippines) through online class. We are so blessed to have classes online while here in Hong Kong.
Earlier this year in June, my sister joined the well-known 2021 Miss Hong Kong Pageant held by Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB). She has become a signed TVB Artiste since July, with I retaining as her brother-manager.
