I lost my friend

Have you ever lost a most valuable thing in the whole world? What did you feel about it? Yesterday, I did and it was the worst day of my life. I never felt so sad in my whole life. I cant eat, I cant sleep and I cant think straight. If only I could turn back time, I would. I felt irresponsible and stupid. All I can do now is imagine and savor that special moments I had with it. You can say that I'm emotional--yes I am. You can say that I'm a cry baby--yes I am. Because I consider that *thing* that I lost yesterday, a very special friend. *Very valuable to me*. My papa said, to let it go. It has a purpose why it's gone. But I still cant help but cry. I'm really really lost for words whenever I think about it. Do you what it is? I'll post it soon when I have the courage to look at it again. But now, I'm still grieving. I lost my very special friend.

Remembering our Papang

Today, we salute a great man that passed away a year ago. He was role model to all of us. He came from a poor family and earned his way until he finished his school with flying colors. He was able to provide shelter, food and education to his family up until to his grand children. His passing was painful but yet it's nature's calling that he needs to rest. As we remember his achievements, lessons, precious moments and reputable image--we are all happy that he is now at peace. His ways will always be alive in our hearts.

As I browse my multiply account, I noticed that my sister S wrote an entry too. You see, she was the one who left for Dubai the same day our grand father passed away a year old. Here's her side of the story... *Remembering Papang...*

He was the salutatorian in his class when he gradruated Accounting in Jose Rizal and ranked 3rd placer in the over all CPA (Certified Public Accountant) board examination. He was friends with the late +Go Kim Pah and was one of the co-founder of Equitable Bank. He served the Go family for 56 long years.

What's Your Travel Personality?

Your Travel Personality Is: Easygoing

When you travel, you're looking for a lot of downtime. Vacations are your chance to recoup. All you need is a scenic spot and plenty of time on your hands. You'll figure out the rest. You're not one to make lots of plans when you travel. You just follow whatever path seems right.

Undecided

I'm still undecided on what will be the new domain for this blog. All of the other ideas I had are already taken and I feel that I can't think anymore. This brain is not functioning very well from all the paid ops from the my other site and of course not to mention my lack of sleep.

If anyone has any idea... Please don't be shy... leave a message on the chat box or simply comment away! Appreciate it.

One day to go...

We had so much fun from our trip yesterday. And now, one day to go before the little angel's birthday party. I have tons of things to do today. I will be going to SM Marilao to buy some more things we need. Good thing I have the house helpers to do the food preparation. Imagine 10 kilos of chicken that we need to finish for the chicken lollipop and 3 kilos of grind pork for the lumpiang shang-hai. After this, I need to finalise the loot bags, pabitin at piñata.

It's all hard work but I'm enjoying it! Anything for the little angel.
