Thank you, 2009
"aiza palagay ko malapit na si papa magpahinga."
I was never the same again after that text message. I can list a whole bunch of things that made my year a low point in my life, but at this time of the year, I would rather give credit to the people who have made me feel loved throughout 2009.
Ondoy scared me, grief disoriented me, but every single sad thing has taught me priceless lessons in life.
This is why after everything, I'm still thankful.
Thank you for your messages that comforted us after the loss, after each crazy event this year. Just listed a ramdom set here..just wanted to let you guys know how important they are and how much they have helped me.
"World won't let us off when it spins too fast. It will give us other good days though."
"There will be more unpleasantness but if you've got people wo care for you, you'll weather it all."
"In the middle of it all, not knowing that I'd come out stronger and wiser on the other end...it didn't seem like it at the time. But it was true."
"Grabe im proud of you. ang strong mo!!! I salute!!"
"Hey, just pray and be strong. It's going to be crazy for a while."
"I don't think there's a wrong or right way of dealing, people just deal. You'll get by."
"i dont think that people really get over the grieving if they lost someone they love...we just learn to deal with the grief and acceptance is the first step."
"You are loved. >:D< stay strong...you're a superwoman."
"It's ok to grieve as long as you dont lose urself in the process."
"i'm still glad you're alive and plurking."
"my God, alam kong madrama pero I'm just happy buhay ka. >:D< "
"alizaaaa gusto kita ihug :(( "
"Paalala ko lang ha, kung kelangan mo ng katulong, I can take a leave from work. Don't hesitate to let me know."
"uy happy ako at muli kong nabasa ang "charot" mo."
"buhay! buhay! si charotness ay buhay!"
"ngaun lang ako nataranta nang ganitong level"
"Stay strong for your papa, Aliza. at wag ka bibitiw kay God."
"Nagpamisa ako sa baclaran para kay Papa. Be strong para kay Mama. "
"Hindi ko lang masabi kanina kasi ang drama pero nahuhurt ako ng sobra para sayo. :("
"(i'm sending you a hug through txt) If you need anything, just let me know."
"Be strong, girl. U always are, anyway. "
"mama! >:D< so happy to hear from you!!"
"Ginoogle na namin yung Malabon kanina"
"Thank god for blessings like you. :)"
"im glad you're safe. :( u had me worried sick :("
"God has a better plan. Oks lng un!kya cheer up!"
"you're stronger than you think--you'll be okay."
"it's hard to believe.. what happened was so devastating... i'm glad you are ok. "
"nagwoworry na kami wala kasing balita sa malabon :(( gusto ko nang sumabak dyan i got your address from froi kanina "
"San ka ngayon?likas kayo ni alphie?ngayon lang din medyo bumaba tubig sa loob.ingat ka ha."
"i understand. im really glad ur safe!! >:D< i could really hug you right now"
"Magingat sa byahe. Sana makauwi ka na agad. I'm really sorry... Sana kayanin pa ng family mo. Kelangan na kelangan ka nila ngayon. Balitaan mo ako ha?"
"hang in there. you're my superwoman."
"God has His reasons..be strong."
"Aliza, nakapasok ka b? Di ka online kanina."
"kelangan mo b ng tulong maglinis ng bahay?"
"Grabe.. Totoo ba yan nag buhat ka ng ref? Ingat kayo ha."
"i'm glad you have your sense of humor intact anyway! we'll all need it in the days to come."
"do you need help? like is ur fam ok naman na?" (conio version)
"I'm so happy that i have you as a friend.. swerte ako.. at swerte mga friends mo dahil they have you."
"And- im really proud to be your friend. Kahit na mahirap ang 2009 for you, you came out much stronger after. Better days na for 2010. Kahit ano mangyari, youve got us to support and help you >:D< "
Happy new year everyone. I hope we can all have a fun, blessed, and meaningful 2010. And sheesh, even grief and depression had me gaining more weight. So no more of those this coming year okay? Charot.
My sincerest thanks, friends.
