A few minutes earlier, a former co-employee of mine PMed me thru YM, and told me that his father passed away last May 13th, and was taken to his final rest last night. I never knew his father nor heard any story with regards to his family, so at first I was only feeling bad for him, but as we talked, I realized I was to the brink of crying.

I remembered Mamang, and back then, we thought we were already prepared. But when the time came, we realized we were never prepared, regardless if we already knew it to happen. But this co-employee of mine, his father's death was so sudden that it really hurt, and even I felt the pain. He said that on May 12th, his father even watered the plants, did some carpentry, and took a bath. Then he felt dizzy and they rushed him to a hospital. Then he dropped into a comatose and got a high fever that night. And the morning after, he died. Everything happened so fast. Sudden, just like that.

He told me that the reason he shared it to me was to remind me that I should always take good care of my parents -- and that made me cry. Just recently I had a fight with my mom and since then we haven't talked yet. And well, if it were to happen to me, just imagine all the time I wasted just because of a petty argument. Agh, I'm even crying while typing this down. I'm in such an emotional mess lately that I get teary with whatever.

In any case, I will work things out with my mom. How? Umm...Red Ribbon?
