“Saw the Love bloom from the start. It was a great story.”

My uncle who introduced my parents to each other posted that quote on my mom’s fb page today.

I miss my dad but I can’t even begin to imagine exactly how much my mom misses him. They were just 20 years old..

31 years of marriage.
“…in sickness and in health..until death do us part”

redefining the words “Best Friends”

Emails, games, photos, chats, webcamming & phone calls every single day for four months straight..

Even though he was really busy with his band, touring, and work, he still made a point to contact me. He kept me sane and I’m beyond grateful for that. No one has ever been this patient with me. No one has done half of what he does and continues to do for me.

There are 7 billion people in this world and we were somehow fortunate enough to have found each other.


No matter how my world may fall apart, I know I can fall right into him.  We are forever.

…ok, enough of that lame mushy girly shit. check out the chinks. ^

I’m finally in Hawaii and it feels amazing. We’re definitely making up for lost time.

I’m so happy I get to spend the holidays with his family, especially his mom. She’s awesome. Filipino moms love me. Duh

This is actually the first time since I’ve been here where I have enough time to get on tumblr. Poor guy is still in pain from his eye surgery.. pfft, if he wasn’t in so much pain I’d be waking him up ambush-attack-WWE-Armageddon style right now.

you know, the usual. :}

lawl.

Happy New Year everyone.

Condolences

If I could define the past week in one word, it would be “condolences”.


I truly appreciate everyone’s sincerest apologies for what has happened. However, I believe there’s really nothing to be “sorry” about.

My father has passed away and he is free from all pain, suffering, and negativity.

He was 53 years old and cancer unfortunately had the upper hand.

During today’s mass held for my dad, the priest said this quote:

What you are I once was, what I am you will surely become.

I sat there for a very long time and thought about this phrase. hmm on second thought, I don’t think I’ll share my thoughts. I talk too much. I’ll just leave it up to you to make it your own..

Anyways, I’ll be leaving Bohol in a few days. I’m ready to breathe again.

This island will always be one of my homes. I know I will be leaving a piece of myself here with our memories.

UCCM (SCW) Ret. J.D.R
He was a master chief. He achieved something only 1% of all enlisted personnel rise to. He was the best of the best and he served our country for 30 years.

thanks, dad. You weren’t perfect but I am who I am because of you. You will forever live on through my past/present/future accomplishments, goals, and achievements.

i love you Daddy.

Pearl Harbor was attacked on this very day 70 years ago. Please take a moment to remember how over 2,000 brave servicemen lost their lives, especially those who are forever entombed within the USS Arizona.

Situations

Lately I’ve been thinking about how differently everyone responds to all types of situations. It’s completely understandable though. Some of us live a privileged life with no worries at all, whereas there are others who are going through god awful shit every second of their lives.

I think something that really sets people apart is how they DEAL with a situation which pushes them out of their comfort zone. Some people have been known to persevere under pressure, while others crumble alongside their problems. 

Obviously Life’s not a party (well, at least mine isn’t). Real shit happens and either you accept it, pretend it is nonexistent, or sit and pout because your life is not perfect for once.

I know accepting it can be hard. I’m not saying that you must be strong all the time and ignore all of your emotions. You have a right to feel sad and upset. I’m only saying that the “shitty feeling” shouldn’t consume who you are.

Cry your eyes out, kick and scream, and then get up and deal with it. It has happened. It is done. Life goes on.

Dealing with my shit over here has been anything but positive, but I refuse to sink. A doctor even suggested anti-depressants because he knew I was going “through tough times”. Of course I refused. It’s not in my character to even consider going that route.

This experience is building a solid support inside of me. I will come out of this stronger than anyone could have ever imagined.

I will embrace everything

“There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often then not, the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well, without the dreamers they might not ever get off the ground.”
