Thank you sa lahat ng bumati at naka-alala! :D

It has been a tiring and trying time for me for the last week or so. Truly it was a "memorable" birthday. Thanks also for the condoling messages and the support you all showed last Saturday. My apologies if I couldn't be with you all the time but your presence there made an impact on me, thanks ride buddy bros and sis!

On the evening of April 5, I was very busy but happily busy preparing the food I was to serve the next day which was my birthday. It's been years since I have wanted to have such good food cooked and I thought that invitations will be given to those who would bother to text me. It was a long day for me as it was also my day off. My day ended at 1:30 am and went home from Tayuman.

At home, I was still feeling the adrenalin and the excitement of seeing friends come by and enjoying my fave food: ox tail Kare-kare. I went online but since I was still on dial-up then, I couldn't have the time to reply. I just browsed thru MCP and of course the very famous SRC Off Topic. I got sleepy by 3:30 am and turned in since I planned to attend mass at 6 or 7 am and then visit my parents at the cemetery after. I set my alarm for 5:30 am.

I jumped up at 5:30 am and then just realized that I was ahead of my alarm. Startled, disoriented and sleepy; it took me several moments to think that maybe I was just excited because it was my birthday. Since I was still sleepy, I went back to sleep - not hearing the 28 missed calls I recieved on my cellphone and the numerous calls on my landline.

At 6:30 am, I was awakened by my Tita Ely's voice - shouting my name out loud -- me thinking that it was just a dream. I got up as soon as I heard something hit our window pane. I got up and dressed up and asked what was the matter. She told me that my brother was rushed to the hospital, had a heart attack - BP was 140/110 and that he was now comatose. Shocked and without thinking I was already dressing up to go to the hospital and then started to go in circles...deja vu! I stopped, and I couldn't believe it. That was the same feeling I had when my relatives called me that my Dad collapsed and was in the hospital -- hiding the fact that my Dad died already. I knew then that my brother left us already. That my Tita was just a bit kind and didn't want to shock me more --- thinking I might also get a heart attack.

Quietly, I got out of the house. Lit a cigarette to stop me from saying anything and was driving towards the hospital. My uncle who broke the silence asked me if I knew about my brother's heart ailment. I said no. He never complained of chest pains or anything like that.

It was last November 30, 2005 that I last saw my brother. He dropped by my internet shop and asked me to scan his picture. He said he will be applying for a job. I remember I told him to put his life back together not for anyone else but for his son - who was born last February 2006.

On my birthday, I got my wish to see my brother again...only he was already dead and covered up at the hospital. Of all the dates, he picked my birthday.

I have seen to and arranged my Mom's funeral arrangements - as it was I who was calm and collected at the time of her death. Ten years after, my Dad followed and still, it was I who made the decisions. After nearly three years, I could not believe that I will be burrying my brother too.

If not for friends like you, I would not have made it this far. If not for the wanting to see you and be with you, I might have lost hope and felt that I am all alone in this world...for I am the only one left in our family...of course, there's Sean - my bro's 2 month old son.

People have come up to me and told me how strong I am as a person. I'd like to answer them back by saying that I'd rather be weak and enjoying the family I had.

Sorry, I have no plans of following them. Not in the next 20 years nor the next 30 or 40 or so on...

As they say, life goes on.

If my schedule permits, I'd like to go and ride with you until the day my 2 month old nephew gets his own bike and then we can ride together.

There's still a lot of places to visit and a lot of roads to conquer. I know my SRC family will be there riding with me. THANKS GUYS!
