Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Marj, Relax

A stranger among millions of people
But a daughter, sister, cousin
A dear friend to her family,
To many, and to me.
We may not be very close like others
But close enough that she affected me
Her charms and energy have been simply amusing.
Last Friday, she was like a spinning ‘’trompo’’
Running everywhere, bouncing to everyone
A ‘’trompo’’ on fire, we couldn’t put down
That’s what how she was then.
 
The last thing I said to her, I will say it again…
‘’Marj, relax ka lang ha.’’

December 15, 2013. 3 PM. Sunday. Marjorie died early this morning and I cried, in fact, I am still teary even now. We were having our Christmas party last Friday and when we noticed her missing for nearly an hour, we went looking and found her at the fire exit hardly breathing. She was revived upon reaching the emergency room and was comatose.
 
Everything happened so fast. I was looking down to her when we found her. We were eye to eye. I was trying to keep her awake and not worry a thing. I really thought she could get through it and she’d be fine. She always had a strong spirit and she looked so determined to stay with us by the look of her eyes. When I found out she was being revived at the ER, my tears were breaking out, praying she’d make it just so shed be with her family even for a while.
 
The following day, Saturday, I barely can concentrate during class discussions and I hadn’t have any moment to review for my two presentations. It was our last day in school for this month. I’m glad I made it out there in front of the class despite my emotional state coz Marj wont be either happy if I’d fail myself. After school, I was supposed to be attending my MBA batch’s Christmas party but I opted to visit her at the hospital ‘coz according to the doctor, she’d be gone anytime. It was an emotional yet happy visit and I was sure she heard me and Remy and her family.
 
I'm still teary but trying to compose myself for my dear friend... goodbye Marj. We will miss you....
