Ms. Sienna: (At the MAB elevator about to go out, held my elbow...) kilala kita! Sa QC...
Me: (smiling...baffled...) Ah, sa mga doctor's clinic?
Ms. Sienna: Nanganak ako sa QC, ikaw ang nurse ko natatandaan ko.
Me: Ahhhhh.....(beaming and waved)
elevator door closed.
lovely!
wisdom tooth i hate you!
why do you have to grow when after so many years you’ll be plucked out from my mouth? and it has to be the two of you in one sitting! you subdued me to so much pain left lower molar. because of you i cannot eat (which i like), i cannot talk normally, and i can’t feel my left cheek, left lips, left mouth! how can you do this to me when you were so taken cared of by my mom?!? she wants you to be strong and now the dentist had a hard time pulling you out because you “were so strong!”
and because of that Dra. Teehankee had to cut you into two.
Sometimes you have to test someone. Not cause you don’t trust them, but to see how much they’ll sacrifice for you. And sometimes you have to let them go; not cause you suddenly stopped loving them, but to see if they love you enough to come back.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Dear Mommy Fem,
I am so saddened by your quick departure, i haven’t even visited you in the hospital. I promised you that I will give you my blood once you needed it and i waited day by day for you to ask for it, but that day never came. Just the other day my mom informed me that you’re gone already, it didn’t hit me not until ate Corhy was the one who texted me that you passed away at 1045H of 10/24/10. I was at the mall walking… trying to suppress my tears. I so wanted to see you at that moment but i can’t coz i have a duty to attend to. I waited for my rest day to come and fro night duty i went home, caught a nap and together with my mom, we went to see you.
There I saw your picture perfectly standing still beside your coffin…the face pictured in the frame will be your face in my memory forever. Tears started to pour out from my eyes and as much as i wanted it to stop, i am not able to and as of this writing i am still shedding tears for you. I don’t know why i am having a hard time making it stop, probably it’s your little ways of caring for us. Maybe it’s how i see you become a second mother to my mother and her best friend. Or maybe it’s how you are a grandmother to me, my brother, and the kids.
I will dearly miss you mommy Fem. I wish that you are now at peace wherever you are. Just please don’t forget to whisper in my mothers ear that you are with her in every trials she is going through and that she can make it alive. I will miss the Christmas Eves when it’s time to pick up my freshly baked food for the Gods and the New Year’s Eves Paella.
We love you Mommy Fem, may your soul rest in peace.
Love,
Net-net
P.S. please send my love to my very own Lolo and Lola.
