sides of life

I attended a celebration. One was of natality. The other, mortality.

Grandma's nephew, kuya Junjun, started his life today as a married man. We were happy. He finally found the woman he wants to be with in his lifetime.

Mom's friend, whom she calls her "second father", died after we got home from the wedding. She cried, desperately. She didn't have dinner. She drank beer.

It's funny how happy we can be happy for a moment and be sad for eternity.

"You wait your whole life for a single moment, then one day, it's tomorrow."
-Deep Blue Sea

Goodluck kuya jun. May Uncle Mario's soul rest in peace.

i still can't comprehend completely the essence of all of this--
the sufferings we go through in life-- is it even worth it, when we aren't even sure if there's life after death?
...
*silence*
But then again, my faith is still intact.
God Bless your uncle Mario's soul...
