Death

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:55:00 +0000

“There is no fair in life and death. If it were, no good men would die young.”~

Said the Blueman on “Five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom”

I was just 11 years old when my brother died at 3am of August 14, 1995 at the hospital and was buried the same day at 3pm. He was just 8 years old. He died with a “rare kind of meningitis” (written on his death certificate)…. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell the details.

I usually celebrate his birthday or death anniversary through writing about him. He was supposed to be 21 years old last April 13 and today is his 13^th death anniversary.

His death was one of the painful and traumatic events in our lives and it was the fight we gave up. We just lift it up to God especially those who have wronged us. If “they” have put the word “probably” on the cause of his death on his death certificate, what would you think? Would you just give in to the word “probably”? Not so sure of what happened to my brother? Just guessing?

Some fight must be given up, lift it up to the Lord and accept it, in the end He will be the one who would judge us. Even the cases where dismissed here on earth and there’s no such thing as “big support group” for the “negligent” cases for the gods in white coat, I think God would just want us to go on and live our lives to the fullest.

Probably in the near future the justice system in our land would change and the victims would probably achieve their triumphs. Maybe in the near future we would produce a number of “legible” forensic pathologist and a special institution or advanced laboratory for this kind of science to help solve the “unsolved cases”.

Sa TV napapanuod kong “circus” parin ang mga cases ng victims (pinatay si ganito hindi alam kung paano, naputol ang ulo ng sangol, ni reject ang organs, may naiwan na clamp sa katawan or gasa…). but HOPEFULLY we the countrymen will achieve somehow the changes we want to partake. Somehow maybe (again) in the future we will have a better health care system that would cater even the less privileged fellows.

Until now, once in a while I would cry and think “what if he did not die, what would be our life? Maybe we already had a band that would entertain our relatives every reunion… Maybe we would go to a mall and have some fun. Maybe we would watch band concerts, movies, plays and etc together. Maybe he was also in our youth org just like our youngest sibling. My youngest brother couldn’t remember that his kuya died… he was just a toddler that time.

I guess God has His own reasons why He took our brother…

My parents named him Mark Ernest and nicked name as "Toto"...

May you rest in peace... Paalam po...
Maraming salamat...

Hindi ko maalala kung saang kuha itong larawan pero sa tingin ko sa Manila ito (sa mga pahanong canceled ang mga flights)... Suot ng tiyahin ko ang damit na may larawan ng dating Pangulong Corazon C. Aquino. Bigay sa kanya ng isa ko pang tiyahin na pumunta sa Malacanang na nagdala ng pagkain para sa mga sundalo... at! kasama ang Mama ko (umakyat sa gate... sa panahong di makalabas ang mga tao sa Malacanang)... Habang ang Papa ko naman ay nasa probinsya ng Capiz- Roxas City nakikibaka mairaos ang snap election bilang chairman ng Namfrel sa barangay namin..

ehem... iba talaga ang impluwensya ng pamilya...

*first part palang po itong tribute ko, mejo naghukay ng baul mahanap ang mga pictures... sa ngayon, ang Tiyahin kong naka suot ng t-shirt ay nagsisilbi bilang konsehal sa barangay namin sa probinsya. sa tingin ko sinusundan nya ang yapak ng yumaong pangulo sa kanyang mumunting paraan... malinis at marangal...

Absence

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:26:00 +0000

I have the tendency of being a “turtle”… sometimes I lurk and sometimes I make my self present in everything, social gathering, get together, internet matters and etc. Some have noticed I am not roaming around the cyber space again and my absence made them sort of worried… I am thankful and feel blessed having those people… (andrama) ^_^

In God’s grace I’m getting better and hoping to cope up with everything… I am hopeful that I will be back on the circulation sooner! With the help of my family, close friends and the magic of the science of medicine. I feel so blessed that I’m on my way to the journey I was looking (searching) for ages to appreciate the beauty of this complicated and challenging world.

I think I was really born to visit different hospitals from time to time. When I was a child I can’t count how many times I was admitted and treated with different illness with lots of needles and antibiotics… (most of it I cant remember)… from acute laryngotracheobronchitis, tonsillitis (that was suspected leading to rheumatic heart that’s why I have to be injected every month with a painful needles and sticky fluid to prevent it!!!), gastritis, gastroenteritis, allergic rhinitis, allergies (etc), amoebiasis, anemia, astigmatism with near-sightedness, bitten by a dog, bitten by a cat. whew! These are just few of the tragedies I’ve gone through… and I am still alive! Glad I found out what I have right now is neither fatal nor contagious… amen!

As what they’ve said “No pain no gain”… but I lose weight and did not gain!!! Hehe… good thing!

I guess I’m not immune being on earth.. just kidding.. ^_^ I might be healthy living on Mars… Just this month I got a flu vaccine (thanks to my mom who injected me), just in case…you know, the immunity thing…

Have a wonderful life everyone! ^_^

sa wakas!

Sa tagal ng pag aantay ko kasama pa ang ibang mga taga hanga nya... sa WAKAS may kopya narin ako ng libro ni Mr. Bob Ong!

Kahapon ni pick-up ko ang order ko sa isang moderator ng "bobongpinoy yahoo groups" dahil mabibili ng mga taga "groups" ang libro sa murang halaga... 140php lang at 175php sa mga bookstore... hindi ako active sa yahoogroups, "lurker" lang ako doon pero ng makita kong pede mag order.... di na ako nagdalawang isip...

maikling kwento:
Noong nasa koleheyo pa ako may isang akong profesor na nag-suggest ng libro ni Mr. Bob na "ABNKKBSNPLAko?".... di ko noon pinansin ang sinabi nya pero na curious na ako, hangang sa na graduate na ako at sya naman ay "pinatalsik" daw... hmmm.... Kakaibang profesor talaga sya dahil may pagka "makibaka aura" ang kanyang dating pero gusto ko ang pamamaraan ng pagturo nya na parang "homeschooling style", parang read and write about your topic.. yun lang...

Pagkatapos ko ng koleheyo, may nagpahiram sa akin ng "ABNKKBSNPLAko?" hangang sa nagmukha akong baliw sa kakatawa at naalala ang kabataan ko, at hangang sa nabili ko na lahat ang mga libro nya ng sunod sunod. Ang iba durog na dahil hinihiram ng isa, tapos diko na alam kung sino pa ang humiram... ang iba nawala tapos pinalitan ng bago...

Stainless Langonisa ang pinaka paborito ko, dahil nabasa ko ito ng sobra sa dalawang beses....
Hindi ako mahilig sa magbasa at late bloomer ako sa pagbabasa ng mga libro, pero kung may mga author na kagaya nya na hinihimok ang mga tao / istudyante magbasa, mag-aral, magsikap, mamulat sa kapaligiran, sa politika, sa corruption at kung anu anu pa... sinong aayaw sa pagbabasa? Kahit hindi istudyante, kahit lola, lola, lolo, nanay, tatay, auntie, uncle, elementary students kayang basahin ang nilalaman ng libro nya... madalas makakarelate dito ang mga bagets ng 80's... promise... mga kasabayan ng aunties ko... hehehe...

yun lang...

*pasensya na po di ako nakakaikot sa ibang blog... babalik ako promise!

Please listen to this audio: it’s about Mr. Garry Granada’s sentiments about his creation that has been used by the network. [link]

The day I found this link from a fellow deviant artist, I recalled “almost” the same thing happened to me when I was in still studying. I was asked by “someone” who is senior to me if I can illustrate that would be used for the school portfolio... [The little book is composed of compiled literary works of the students that will be distributed at the end of the year.]

That school year I was not expecting that my work would be included.. but then, I was overwhelmed when I saw my artworks. I “was” so proud and showed it to my mom when I got home. And all of the sudden she asked me.. “where’s your name?”

Uhm… hmmm....kelangan pala yun?

It wasn’t big deal to me back then… the only thing on my mind that time that, it’s an honour being part of the book… Our school doesn’t offer “fine arts course” and being able to illustrate something, really satisfied the itchiness of my hand to draw…

That was the first time and the second when I was asked to illustrate a “blah blah blah” and so I gave what I have created… I didn’t hear anything after that. Then I found out “accidentally” it was used as an illustration in a blog of someone related to that person.. [maliit lang ang mundo ng internet] without any credit or something… tsk tsk.. no one even bothered to tell me if it was rejected or what… nagmukhang scrap lang na kunwari nakita sa net tapos ginawa lang illustration sa blog…

I already out grown what had happen. Peru kung iisipin natin na nagagawa nga sa malalaking tao ang ganoon kagaya kay Mr. Gary Granada. Anu pa ang mangyayari / nangyayari sa mga naguumpisa palang?

twilight thing

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:03:00 +0000

Who among you have not been hit by the waves of “twilight saga”?

I won’t raise my hand.

Before the movie was released a friend told me about this book because it’s “a must read kind of a book”. I was about to have the book in exchange of the commissioned work I’ve done. The sad thing is, it was out of stock. I don’t have any choice but to read it on screen… pdf. ;)) [you know what I mean.. I also have the audiobook]

We got this ticket from our Tita in our church, who is not into this kind of movie.

out of roads

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:12:00 +0000

A few days ago I stumbled on a photoblog of a foreigner named Sydney, who loves capturing the beauty of our land called the

Philippines

. I also recalled an Mtv of a song I saw, made by JesCom while browsing the photos of his “railway project – specifically PNR”.

Here’s the link of the Mtv and the English version of the song. Mtv song

Out of roads
Music by: Arnel Dc Aquino sj . Lyrics: Johnny Go sj
Arranger: Arnel Dc Aquino Sj . Performer: Veepee Pinpin

I just run out of roads again
Don't know where to turn
I started counting stars again
Then I lost my way

I just ran out of time again
Will I ever learn?
To stop my chase of hours again
Only to learn I've lost the day?

The last thing I need
Is to hear this whisper in the wind
The last thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within

I'll need to go home soon, I know
But maybe tomorrow, not now
When the last thing I need here and now
Is the lasting need for You

I've been rushing out of rooms again
Too afraid to stay
I've been dreaming of some rainbow's end
But the colors melt away

Should my heart be like an open door
Helpless to the storm
Permit Your wind to touch my soul
Only to leave this aching song?

The last thing I need
Is to hear this whisper in the wind
The last thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within

I'll need to go home soon, I know
But maybe tomorrow, not now
When the last thing I need here and now
Is the lasting need for You

The one thing I need
Is to hear this whisper in the wind
The last thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within

I need to go home soon to You
Won't wait for tomorrow, right now
Is this haunthing need for You
This haunting need for You

*I’ve tried surfing for the lyrics of this song but I found none. So I decided to look for the tape [Something More: Song for Skeptics] I had while I was in college and it has a copy of the lyrics.

experiment

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:54:00 +0000

Being born having a congenital sweet tooth I can’t resist making some desserts for the indulgence of our new year. It wasn’t my first time to make a ref cake but this is another experiment with the strawberry flavor because I added a “raspberry” gelatin powder [just to add more berry berry taste] and a bottle of strawberry jam.

star

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:44:00 +0000

Today “we” are celebrating the feast of epiphany or the feast of the three wise men. They were the men who journeyed to see the Messiah in Bethlehem and offered some presents.

Our Stars… and on getting lost.

Sometimes no matter how eager we are to follow the rules and no matter how we tried to walk in the right track still we get lost. We have tried so hard to follow the stars, but then…

In those personal catastrophes, when no one is lighting our path and we thought no one is lighting it we felt so miserable... helpless… But in those instances when we thought we’re in the abyss of darkness we just forget that the star is still there... lighting our path.. Waiting for us to stand up again after we fell on our knees and follow it just like what the three Magi did who continued the journey despite of everything.

As the writer of the Impossible Dream said:

“This is my quest… to follow the stars.. no matter how hopeless no matter how far…”

*I never thought this lyric is somewhat a religious and at the same time political.
