Memories
Year 2016
Hi. Please allow me to share some of our pictures taken 8 years ago. Alam kong ilang taon ang lilipas at gusto kong magsilbing magandang alaala ang story na ito. I don't want to forget about him. So I'm posting these pictures and hope that one day, I'll look back to these again.
This picture was taken noong may outing ang drum and lyre group namin sa school dahil nanalo kami sa competition. Sa Kawa-Kawa Falls ito. I remember my classmate, Kuya Jet, who took this photo using our classmate's phone. Close lang kami dito noon at wala pang feelings na inaamin sa isa't-isa. I think this was the start of us. Ito lang ang picture na mayroon kami na magkasama. So it's really important to me.
This solo picture of him na sinend sa akin ng classmate niya. I admire his smiles, his eyes, his nose bridge, his ears, his personality and humor. I miss the fun and sad moments we shared together. Kung alam ko lang na 3 buwan lang ang panahon na ibibigay sa amin, I should've been good to him. Sana hindi ako nag step back at binalewala siya. But as I grew older, I realized that he's my greatest what if, regret, and hope. He taught me a lot of things--- realizations that I never thought I needed.
This is the only clear picture of him that I have. Back in 2016, bihira lang kami magkaroon ng malinaw na camera at bihira rin ang chance na magtake ng photos.
This was taken noong November 1, 2023. Ito ulit yung visit ko sa kanya after the pandemic noong 2020. I also gave birth noong 2022 kaya hindi halos nakalabas ng bahay plus the Pandemic. Kaya last year, bumisita ulit ako sa kanya. From 2016 naman hanggang 2019, tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagdalaw ko sa kanya every Nov 1. Sadyang marami lang nangyari sa buhay ko noong start na ng 2020.
Recent pictures with 'him' taken nitong November 1, 2024. I was smiling there kasi I made it again. I promised na di ko siya makakalimutan na dalawin kahit na may sarili na akong pamilya ngayon at matagal na siyang wala. He's really important to me. At parte na siya ng buhay ko kahit ilang taon na ang lumipas. Oo, tanggap ko naman ngayon na hindi kami nagkaroon ng closure noon dahil biglaan siyang nawala. At pinatawad ko na rin ang sarili ko. I just want to keep his memories here. Para pwede kong balikan at tingnan dito balang araw.
I shared these photos here dahil alam kong maliit ang chance na maraming makakita. But I'm going to unpublish this if things happen.
So please... allow me to share these memories I don't want to forget. This is the only space where I can share about him. Don't judge me. I'm really happy now in my life. I just want to have this for his memories.
Thank you.
