Machiko and A Small Patch of Grass

I don’t know when was the last time we visited him.  It was that long.  It almost felt like we’re being irresponsible or worse, forgetful.  But Bianca was insistent that day to visit Lolo, rain or shine.

For a while, the sun was really out.  It was high, and hot, and everything was drier than paper.  We waited for the sun to be less angry, but it was soon blanketed with dark clouds.  On our way there, it started raining, and hearts were slowly feeling defeated.  To be honest, it almost felt like Lolo has been harboring hard feeling for us because we took too long to visit him again.

But then, it always rains when it’s about him.

On his funeral, it rained.  After two years of regular visiting, it started raining each time we planned to go.  Bianca proved to be the smartest of us all when she said Lolo is just testing us if we’ll still go in spite of the rain.  So we went.

And our littlest lady finally got her feet slightly damp by the small patch of grass covering the most loving man we’ve ever met.

 

In spite of the legs in that corner, I think this is a fantastic introductory photo.

Math Love Story

I couldn’t believe I stumbled upon it at first, but this GIF makes pretty good sense.

Didn’t think mathematics can hold so much meaning in one’s life.  I’ve always thought they were the things I can never use when I have to do the grocery.  Apparently, it has always meant something to someone, and at one point, to me too.

 

Day 22: Sung for Me

Day 22 is a song that was sung to me.

I don’t know if he still remembers, but I do.  Clear as day.  Glorietta 3.  Walking along PCX and Fabric Warehouse lane.  I asked what for him is the most romantic song.  And then he just started singing.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are.

I hope you remember it as clearly as I do.

 

Day 21: Favorite

Day 21 is my favorite song.

Again, this is very difficult.  I basically fell in love with Coldplay’s entire discography and it’ll be unfair if I just fish out one of those many splendid songs and I ache a little.  But to be honest, I should just pick the first song I completely absolutely thoroughly fell in love with.

Day 12: Last Song

Day 12 is a song I last heard.

I am just a recent fan of Florence + The Machine since Gerald from the office told me to watch their SNL performance.  I immediately downloaded their Ceremonials album and fell in love with it.  The entire day, I’ve been playing it over and over, and this is the last song I heard before I started to write this post.

This is officially part of my running/workout playlist.  I always feel energized and optimistic whenever I hear this song and I’m quite happy to be caught with this song being the last one I heard. :)
