condolences bro.
but as they say, when it rains, it really pours..

i remember around 6 years ago, while i was spearheading a Y2K project dito sa office. sunod-sunod ang overnight for the test/audit. so talagang hindi ako umuuwi. it was november 1999. in the midst and in the peak of preparations, namatay lola ko. and yung lola kung yun is yung nag-alaga sa akin while i was around 4-5 YO so talagang close kami.

masakit nito, hindi ako pinaalis ng boss ko dito sa office. nung lamay and libing, hindi ako nakapunta. nagalit pa nga sa akin nanay ko nun eh.
