on funerals and birthdays..
today was both a sad and a happy day for our family. sad because today was the funeral for our aunt, who passed away last week due to a heart attack. her passing caused such grieve for all of us because it came too fast and too unexpected. what actually scared me the most was that she was only 2 year older than my father. if it happened to her, then it can happen to anybody.
it was the first time that i ever went to a funeral. I think a funeral is one of the most depressing occasions that a person has to attend in his lifetime. no matter how hard i tried not to cry, i still can't help it. there was this feeling of sadness that overcame everyone there. of course not all of the people there cried, but somehow, it felt like a shadow was being cast. i could not help but feel sad for my cousins and their family that she left behind.
....
since the funeral was set during the morning, our family then spent the rest of the afternoon at another relative's home, this time my tito from my mom's side. :) it was his birthday today and there were a lot of food and a bit of festivities there. :) too bad i wasn't able to showcase my lack of singing talent in the magic sing! too bad though, since their family is already based in australia, the rest of his family is in australia now. good thing though, my tita is coming home by the end of the week. :)
i like going to birthdays because everyone just seem so happy. :) (i hope! everyone really was!) :) i miss making "kulit" to my cousins.. :(
