Tales From The Darkroom

Lovin' Life (6:46pm)

Before my lola passed away, I've been in a limbo. I was crazy thinking about a lot of things. Spending my days in my lola's wake gave me time of peace, something I was lacking of. Hearing mass everyday helped too. I was able to catch up with my cousins as well. My favorite wacky Tita Jingky came all the way from U.S., bringing more laughter in the room, aside from Kuya Jay who's been cracking us up since day one. Weird as it may sound but it was the happiest wake I've been too. Not much tears but more of smiles & laughter, rekindling how my lola was while she was still with us. She was a great woman. She will be greatly missed.

Departing will always be part of life. But life is something to embrace... while it lasts.

To those who've sent sms, emails and comments, thank you for the comforting words. And to those who was able to visit, in behalf of my family, thank you, sana nabusog kayo. :)

As I type this, I am currently on my way to the land of Nikon. Japan it is.

It is my first time to go on an international trip alone and I'm pretty excited, nervous and anxious about it. Different culture, new places, different people, different language. I just can't wait!

Oh and I'm excited to see Michelle again too! Woot woot!

Last kiss, goodbye.

On my home from a wedding shoot, without knowing that Corrine May's Fly Away was so timingly playing on my ipod, my celphone rang. It was mama. She asked mewhere I was, and that if I can go straight to the hospital.

I got there ahead of her. The sight of ICU 232 was not good. There were 7 nurses (I think) all surrounding my lola. They were tinkering with her arms, needles and stuff that only them can understand. I was just there point blank. I was waiting for mama to arrive. I knew she wouldn't like what she'll see.

Mama got there 20 minutes after, and the sight of lola mommy brought tears to her eyes. After 10 minutes, my aunt arrived with my 2 cousins, just as the nurses were giving mommy CPR. After a few minutes, the doctor on duty asked if we'd like them to continue with the procedures...

Tonight, I kissed her goodbye.

We will miss you Lola Mommy. I love you.

Thank you for the prayers.

Splash!

Back in the water, this time with a board.

The wannabes...

The not-so-wannabe...

A lot of things have been happening these past few days: decisions, results, realizations, yadiyadiyadiya.

I'll post more kwento soon. Zzzz...

Prayers...

...for my Lola Mommy.

She was rushed to the hospital (again) just a few minutes ago.

Dear God,
My family and I raise it all up to You.

And to Tita Vicky R.'s speedy recovery too.

Year of the dawg!
