That's Life!

A new chapter in my life has been opened

Though quite complicated... I've tried

But life is full of compassion at that staged

Although its difficult, I've tried to survived

At that time, I've never thought it could happened

But one thing for sure it left a marked

A picture of loved in my heart and in my mind

Once is enough to be shattered and be noticed

Those feelings of mine which are reassured

How I wish it will not be withered

But my friends loved me much... hated

Cause they don't let me fell beyond

Their brilliant advices made myself uplifted

From the harness of his doubtful loved

Though I've loved him for all he cared

Damn him! He's selfish and made me vanished

Alas! Time came and his betrayal was paid

The gal left him in vain and wounded

Now, I'm alone and aloof, wound was healed

Ready to soar up high and meet the right lad

In Memory of my Uncle

In behalf of my family, I want to take God for giving us a very supportive Uncle though he past away last January 19, 2009, around 4 A.M. in the morning. He was the youngest brother of my father. He was a kind-hearted and a very approachable guy. Most of the youngsters here in our place knew him so well. He was a kind of a man, you will not able to resist cause he loves my son so much... He played with my son if he has nothing to do at his house or after his visits to my Uncles house.... Then, a news struck us last October, 2008 when we discovered he is suffering from a cancer... His symptoms can't detect his illness. Because he was attack by a severe headache, that was the rarest thing and difficult to explain. It's very hard and painful to see that my Uncle every time I visited him he's holding his tears and controlling his self for not bursting to cry.

I remember him so well when I was a kid, he used to be all out and very vocal for his likes and dislikes. Indeed, he is also a charming guy with a pretty girls all around him but he chose to be single. I've learned a lot from him, my cousins as well. He is like an older brother to us cause he used to played and advise us with brilliant ideas. Have fun and be with us whenever, wherever and whatever we want to do if we we're not in school.

Though the time has come and now he is with our Father Almighty together with my father, GrandMa and GrandPa... hope he may find his peace with them and able to relax for he was suffered by his illness for 3 months... We will let you go and freed you from our hearts...

"We love you so much Uncle.... We will surely missed you and even my son he's still looking up to you.. you'll take care!."
