Aug 18, 2005 the day i died yet started living the reality of life……………..
mahilig akong manuod ng movies….actually there was a point in my lyf i got severly addicted to it….watching every single movie i found interesting……those which appeal to me most are the movies with a father-daughter setup or theme….papa’s gurl xe akoh eh…
mababaw ang luha….iyaken nga daw they say…which sumtyms i use to my advantage…..minsan pag may gusto akong makuha papakita ko lang na teary eyed akoh then thats it…ala na dapat pang pagusapan…it always works like magic….especially with my dad….onteng lambing…kiss sa chicks ok lng…..pag magagalet na sya pag late akohng umwi kesa sa paalam kong oras….himas sa kamay kiss sa chicks and my killer sweet smile ok na let ang mood nya….papa’s gurl xe koh….
pag mainet ulo niya…lahat ng tao nasisinghalan…..pag naiinip sya(ayaw niya xe ng pinaghihintay sya) lahat ng tao kagagalitan…pati akoh sempre pero as always i just do my stuff and it wud work lyk magic…gud mud na let sya…papa’s gurl akoh eh….
then one time we had an argument….taz nabago lahat…nawala ung kiss sa chicks everytym i get home or b4 i go out of the house…..nwala ung lambing at hawak sa kamay at killer sweet smile to ease him from his bad mood….super tampo akoh….of cors with valid reasons naman…the argument was bout him and mama….same old story pa rin…bothered akoh…hurt and troubled kung baket di sila ksal…during those years of my life i was still soo damn naive of things….conventional pah koh masyado…maliit pa xe ung mundong gingalawan koh…for me common law relationship was a term never heard of….and being categorized as "illegitimate" in any document i see is a blow on my personality and on my heart….xe ung tagalized version nung illegitimate panget pakinggan…"bastardo" d b?
i was hurting and in pain….and my relationship with my papa suffered a great deal….di na kme kcng sweet at close tulad ng dati…and i started growing fondness with my mom instead…as i sympathized with her i grew hating my papa….i cant understand why….whats the reasons behind those things he never told or explained to me…..
sabe koh sa sarili koh…."kylan kaya kame babalik sa date…" i was hating him but still deep inside of me was the papa’s gurl longing so much for his attention and affection….everytime he wud favor my bro over me i get angry but i never showed any signs of it….i get jealous but i kept it to myself….there was even a tym in my life i cursed him and hated him so much i wished him dead….
i wish i cud take that wish back….
aug. 17 around 9 am outside the O.R. of Nova General hospital all of us wer anxiously waiting for the doctors to give us an update about my papa’s colon operation…..
just like the movies….the doctor went out and told us a dreadful news…my very dear papa is in critical condition….he suffered a cardiac arrest shortly after the operation….we cudnt accept it…..especially me….papa’s gurl akoh eh…
i wished him dead alryt but i never meant it…..i wasnt serious bout it…..icant accept it….for me it was lyk inthe movies…just a scene…..just a scene….
we wer all devastated…especially me..i didnt even got the chance to talk with him and say sorry..or perhaps give him a last hug or a kiss on a cheeks just lyk the old times….
i wasnt even given the chance to tell him i still am his lil gurl..and that lil gurl never stopped loving him even though we started having different opinions on certain things….i never even got to hold his hands and tell him im always here or let him see my killer sweet smile one last tym….
it was damn frustrating for me.papa’s gurl akoh eh…..ang papa koh….he was a strong man….very strong and he seldom or i can say next to never shown any signs of weakness..not even after he was confined and dextrosed and not even before he was operated….my mom said he even got to his feet and laid his self on the stretcher…..he was a man of authority….
nobody cud order or boss him around….he was strong….he was my hero….my idol….my papa….but the next day wen we saw him.he was far from the strong authoritative man ive known since childhood….he lay unconcious on the hospital bed…..he was breathing through a respirator and there wer so many gadgets attached to him…..my strong papa now seemed so helpless before me….my heart was breakin into pieces as i tried to talk to him although i know he cant hear me….i talked to him…..held his hands….his cheeks…i stroked his silver grey hair and whispered how much i love him into his ears…."Papa pagaling ka nah….im sorry sa mga kasalanan koh ha….i love you….pagaling kah xe gagraduate na koh…" i told him but my breakin heart was so damn scared coz i feared that i may loose him any moment….
those times i feel like i cud trade anythin…anythin…..just anythin in this world just to see him on his feet agen….di bale ng di akoh ang lil gurl niya…to hell with the marriage thing…..the hell with my jealousy….khit anoh gumaling lang sya….
pero…aug 18 at 5 am i died with him……para akong batang iniwan sa gitna ng dagat….i felt so lost and so weak….i never thought that he was holding our family together….wen we lost him para kming mga kawayan ng balsa na nagpumiglasan nung nawala ung tali…lumong lumo di alam ang gagawin…..
i wasnt ready….but i started living….nalaman koh….in the real world….living is as real as dying….alam kong may death but i never knew it first hand….iba pla….iba ang pakiramdam pag ikw ang namatayn….nuon parang "yeah ryt..buhay ka ok ….thats lyf blah blah…" ngaun parang everyday i get scared coz what if its ur last day on earth and i didnt even got ready for it….
and you know wats more frustrating bout it…..at ang pinakamasakit sa lhat….di ko man lng nasabe na " papa…..sins then til now i still am a papa’s gurl….ur lil gurl…i love u so much…" parang gustong sumabog ng puso ko sa lungkot at depression…..
andme kong gusto sbihin…andame ko pang gustong gawin kasama sya…..andame pah…..i even got to the point i was blaming him for leavin us so soon….and also questionin God for taking him away from us….so soon…..just so soon….
we cud have talked or watch a movie together….or shared secrets…..or stroll in the park…or eat our favorite fud together or just sit beside each other and talk….chat….
pucha!!! lyf is unfair noh…..until now i cant beliv he is gone….yoko!!! yokong maniwala n wala na sya….for me he had just gone to work and will be back soon….
di koh pa kaya ang heartaches….ang pain….di koh pa kaya tanggapin at di ko lam kung hanggang kylan toh….i dont know if there will be a tym ill get over it…..
for now all i know is i died and lived last aug 18, 2005
