April 21. It should be memorable, for us. It was the birthday of Papa. And he was soooo far away. He's in Canada, working as a nurse. But despite that, he keeps track of us and even monitors us. How? With Skype and cellphone. LOOL~! Pag di kame nakaOL sa Skype, tatawag yan sa telepono. Ang mahal ng charge dun ah, roaming kase. He is really a good father to us and husband to my mama. He's also the disciplinarian-type. You can't make him laugh that easily at kapag galit, talagang galit. At ang pakikipag-away sa mga call center agent ay parang everyday routine na nya. Sanay na kami. Kawawa nga yung mga call center agent na yun eh, nagtatrabaho lang sila eh kaso palpak talaga service ng company nila kaya sila nasisigawan. HAHAHA! I remember one time, yung sa bayantel, talagang sigawan sila sa telepono. sooobra. It was not the same without him around. Hard? Yes. It was the first time that he'll be celebrating his birthday away from home and us. We can't feel the happy spirit, neither did he. It was just like any other ordinary day. Actually, I was even scheduled to play badminton that day. The night before, we presented a video. Yeah! We made our own music video of Home by Westlife. The artists? us. The cameraman-slash-director? me. HAHAHA~! It turned out well. It made Papa cry a little and we also cried. LOL! Nakakaiyak kase. First time. It was a sentimental night for all of us. Anyway, also, that morning, Jazmine's lolo died. Nakakaguilty. But why am I guilty? I was already told last Saturday that lolo was already nearing his err, death. But I was too confident that he'll make it through although he was already in the ICU. I did not bother to visit him last Saturday. By Sunday, Jazmine asked me again if I'll come. She said that this might be the last time I'll ever see him again, the last. Maybe my next visit will already be during the burial. I said I can't because I don't know how to get as far as Taft Ave. He was confined in Medical Center Manila near U.N. Ave. and it was too far aside from the fact that I don't know how to get there. That time, lolo was already asking if I could come since he's having the feeling that he will not last long. Monday. I was already the one begging if I could come, but I can't. My sister's supposed to go to UERM to enroll. If my mama will accompany me, no one will be left home to be with my siblings. GAWD! I was feeling sorry and guilty all at the same time. There is no way I can get there. I hope he understands. That day was his last day. He had multiple organ failures and leukemia, his willing power was the only thing that makes him live and he gave up. He can't survive that long. Out of the 6 patients in the ICU, he was the last to give up. Tuesday. So, this was really April 21. I was playing badminton that morning. By noon, it was raining really hard and we sheltered in Stefanie's home. Cedhez received a message that lolo passed away but I did not although I was mentioned in that text, that lolo was looking for me but I did not come. It was a guilty feeling. I think, the rain is also mourning, crying :(( That same afternoon, we had an adventure. Kame ni Cedhez. HAHA! Since it was raining hard and we had to leave, sinugod namen ang ulan! btw, we don't have any umbrellas with us. HAHAHA! Mga baliw kame.x)
At sinong di aawit kapag umulan,YEAH! nabaliw kame sa ulan kaya sinugod namen siya. Nakakamiss. I was around 5 y/o when I last had my shower in the rain. Masaya. I don't know that gotten into us that we instantly, without thinking, walked out of the house. I had my badminton for cover and Cedhez had her shirt for protection. Bawal magkasakit.x) So, we walked from Magnolia St. (Roxas District) to KFC E.Rod. REALLY FAR but it was fun. HAHAHA! We talked about random things, about college, courses, the future! We did not mind the rain. At least hindi mainet, sooobrang lamig lang. Kaso, wala kame ka-hug eh. HAHAHAHA! Kidding.x) The road was also quite slippery that time, nakakatakot maglakad lalo sa bridge. But we made it through. When we caught sight of KFC, there was a crewman waiting to open the glass door for us. GLASS DOOR men! Kitang-kita na basang-basa kame at nagpupunas pa. HAHAHA! Siguro inisip nun, "Hayy, isa na namang magpapalamig. Lagi nalang sa amin pumupunta 'tong mga 'to. Di naman bibili..." NAKAKAHIYA! XD Feeling namen, alam na alam na nya ang pinunta namen dun, magpalamig at magpatuyo.x) Eh sa wala kameng choice eh, ala namang sumakay kame ng jeep na basang-basa. Baka mandiri pa sa amin yung mga yun. Mukha kameng mga basang-sisiw ehh. HAHAHA! Ewwiness. Joke!x) So ayun nga, pumasok kame at may gumulantang sa amin, soobrang nakakhiya. Mas malala pa 'to kesa nung nakita kame ng lalaki na pupunta sa KFC para magpatuyo. Ngayon, ang BUONG CREW ay nakahilera at naka-upo sa unahang mga upuan sa entrance. O_o MAS NAKAKAHIYA. Nakatingin pa yung iba sa amin. Bakit kaya sila andun? Hmmm... Anyways, sarado pa ang 2nd floor so sa first floor kame, kitang-kita! Umupo kame sa available na seats sa sulok para di mapansin kaso kita pa rin kame sa counter eehh. Kahiya! HAHAHA! Nagkwentuhan nalang kami ni Cedhez dun. Pinag-uusapan namen kung paano kami aalis nang hindi nahihiya. LOOL~! After 30 mins., we left, fast! Unahan sa pinto, parang walang nangyari. Di na nga tumayo yung crewman kanina eh, di na kami pinagbuksan ng pinto. Siguro alam nya talaga...XD We bid each other goodbye and we left. Cedhez, salamat sa company mo. Masaya talaga ang adventure. Sugod ulet tayo sa ulan? XD
At sinong di mababaliw sa ulan
At sinong di mapapasayaw sa ulan,
At sinong di mababaliw sa ulan
ULAN, ULAN, ULAN~!
