Goodbye Mr. Kenneth Ang

[late post: Aug 24, 12:40am]

I'm way behind, I know.

August 12

2 weeks ago, Kenly's dad passed away. He passed away Wednesday, August 11 at around 1am. I visited with my parents and sister, August 12, Wednesday. My parents waited in the car while my sister and I went in to see Kenly. It was the first time I met Belle. She was quite shy, specially after I mentioned to her that we chatted before. I also asked Kenly about his mother, he said his mom (who is in Lebanon) hasn't heard the news. It was when I asked that he thought about text messaging his mother's sibling. We passed by McD before heading home since there's a belief my parents practice that after visiting a wake, you are to stop by somewhere to leave bad spirits or something there and not bring it home with you. In short, you are not to go straight home.

My parents were really nice to drive me all the way to Rolling Hills in the middle of night (around 8:30pm), we got home almost 10 o'clock or a bit pass 10pm I think.

August 13

I thought I wouldn't be able to visit, but thanks to my friend Anney, I was able to. I picked Elwin up on my way to Mom's office. Anney met with me there with her friend Ian. I went there to leave mom the car, and I drove Anney's car to rolling hills. I am never fully at ease with her Yaris. For one, it is not my car, and second- it's automatic. I am so used to driving manual, I do not really know how to listen to an automatic car engine. But I will always love driving for and with my friend Anne. We got there (Rolling Hills) and stayed for about 5 minutes, and everyone decided to have dinner at Sunburst, just up ahead.

After the dinner, we said our goodbyes. Elwin and I went with Anne to Dog Palace place (or what's left of it). She was there to buy some dog treats and we also checked out the pups for sale. This man (his name seems to escape my head all the time), used to buy my dad's puppies wholesale. He marketed the pups up for more than triple the price or so. I've also heard bad deals about him from others and I heard some of those complaints against him are up on iStorya.

August 14

I went to see Kenly again. I was at Jollibee Banilad with some classmates, trying to study for our upcoming IT126 exams. Earlier that day we just had our IT32 exam. Time flew fast enough, I was waiting to pick my mom up but turns out she didn't want to be picked up. She was going out with friends. So I dropped my classmates off at Ayala and I arrived home at around 6pm. Contacted Timmy and I offered to be the one to bring a car this time, since I've been hitching with him. I had a zit of a situation (no really, I did). I was over at Timmy's a bit pass 7pm, or was it 7:30pm? Picked up Timmy, Claire, Charles, and along the way, picked Junel and Princess too.

We arrived at Rolling Hills just in time for the service to starts, with no dinner. Kenly shared to us about how his father was his hero, and how he wanted to be with him. As he gave his speech, tears broke out. Tears that were contained since his father died, even maybe since his father was sick. Surely Princess and I were glad he finally let it out. A lot of us cried with him, I cried a lot as well. How he shared to us his love for his father. Even if he did not shower them with material things, he still shared an intimate and deeper bond with his father. There I saw how Kenly was such an understanding son, and I was proud of him, as I am sure his father was very proud of him. And there, I also concluded that Kenly is at peace with his dad before he left and that he will be alright. He is in great hands with the Lord.

A lot of his high school friends were there to show him support, others even flew in from Manila. His Cebu Gospel and Maranatha Family were there as well.

After the service, staying a while to chat a bit, we went ahead and brought Claire home. We then headed to McD Sykes to have our very late dinner. This was around 10 o'clock. Charles was dubbed Princess as we noticed that doors were opened for him a lot, he didn't have to lift a finger. Charles laughed a whole lot that night, we did as well. At around 12 o'clock Timmy's mom called, he hasn't packed for their trip the following day and his mom wanted him home. They'd be going to Mindanao to celebrate a relatives 100th birthday, awesome right?

We passed by I.T. park to pick my mom up. Dropped Charles off at his place and then Timmy. Went home, thought about death for a bit and called it a night.

August 15

8:30am Kenly's dad would be cremated, family members only. At 9am, he would be buried. Princess and I talked about going for the burial. I was able to wake up with the sound of the alarm (and my sister's help). I was half awake text messaging with Princess. I thought she text messaged me about not going and so I went back to sleep, turns out she didn't text me about not going and that it was just probably a dream. Boo!

Rest in peace Mr. Kenneth Ang. You have planted good seeds in this world, namely Kenly and Belle. Seeds that will surely be great warriors in their own time. As young as Belle is, grade 4, Kenly shared that God has already placed in her a dream. I pray they both continue to grow in God's love.

Haircut.

A bad news, Kenly's dad passed away 1am of this day. Princess text messaged me. I felt better after giving Baby Girl (Kenly) a call. He seemed fine, and as Princess said "I hope he's not just hiding it." Kenly is strong, and tight with God, I'm sure he'll just be fine. Tommorrow we'll be visiting his father's wake at Rolling Hills. We'll all be praying for him and his sister, his step mother and granmother too.

Moving on, DB1 (CS130 Exam) was moved to next week! I'm not sure if that's a good thing since we have two exams already for next week- IT126. I'll have to do crunch time in studying. Also, we have to submit the project to Miss next meeting. We still have no idea as to what system we really should go with and as to which company to interview. Lord help.

Moving onto to the lighter side of things, the highlight of my day- Ayala afternoon with Holly and Elwin. Originally I had this outfit on:

Black Tank Top

But I thought we were taking the jeepney, I changed. Another but, dad arrived and wanted us to use the car, so with Holly and Elwin, off to Ayala I drove.

First thing we did was eat at KFC. We were starved. :p Elwin and I orderd 3 wowsteaks and had 2 regular mountain dews (although I think he should've gotten one large instead). Holly had a Barbeque Chicken Burger meal (I think).

Three WOWsteaks for Elwin and I.

The Hurr~

:D

After our "snack" time, we went to Salon de Rose to have our haircut. No one photographed my haircut session, boo!

We then went to Executive Optical . Holly wanted to have her eyes checked, result: her grades went down. I also went to buy solution for my contant lens.

I know my blogs tend to be too long, but remember- it's MY SPACE to blog. :)
Too many photos for you? Too many words? Well, sorry, I'm not sorry. Thanks for dropping by though.

God bless everyone. Baby Girl, you'll be a big part of my prayer for tonight.

McD and DB

What today was about:
* paid tuition fee
* got my new (upper) retainers
* met with DB group mates

Jade picked me up at my house, since we're taking the jeepney to the Main campus to pay the tuition fee due and get our admission slips. Jade had to wait for me a bit since, as usual, I wasn't able to wake up. When will I ever change that attitude? Probably can't ever live alone, not that I'd want to.

The line for the teller was long, but thank God it was a fast moving line. We had to line up the second time for admission slips, it wasn't as bad as before. Thank you Lord we were able to finish.

Ate at the Chinese ngohiong's place. 1 Chicken, 3 Puso, Royal True Orange. I was thinking about going downtown to buy some cheap bootleg DVDs, but Jade wasn't comfortable with it since I had a bag and all.

Went home and shared to Jade my Selena Gomez (slight) obsession. I so admire and adore her. I quote from one Youtube comment, "Selena, quit being so HOT, you're TOO YOUNG." LoL. She's only 17. Also watched an episode of Wizards Of Waverly Place off Youtube.

Selena Gomez

I was off to the dentist and Jade was home bound. I got my new retainers on now, I'm glad the fit is fine, although it could be better.

I was in bed with Miggy, didn't realize I fell (slightly) asleep, good thing Choodur (Theodore) called up. Isaac, one of my groupmates text messaged that he was there at McD already, we were to meet there 4pm but it was around 4:30pm that I realized I had to get ready. I hurriedly changed and had dad drive me there.

McD Chicken meal (thigh part) and Coke Float was good. I was able to answer one number, but the rest of my group mates (Oliver, Choodur, Isaac) seemed hopeless and at the same time unworried of what will become of our group activity. I went ahead of them since my family were already there to pick me up.

This Week's Agenda:
* Tuesday - DB1 Midterm Exam
* Wednesday and Friday - IT126 class
* Friday 7:30-8:30am IT32 Midterm Exam
* DB1 group project and activities
* Prepare for IT126 Exams next week

I am glad to report that I think I'll be able to breathe this week.

PS: I'm happy to report my Twitter is updated! :)

Rich to Richer

So I've been away for a bit, I'm happy to report to you guys that I HAVE A LIFE! :)


Anyways, I'll be posting a blog about how my June and July went, since a lot has happened in those two months. The blog for both will probably be a long one, but hey, it's my space to blog right? :)


So since I'm only in school half the day, I come home for lunch most of the time. I've been watching this show on ABS-CBN, a TV program called WOWOWEE. It's what my yaya watches while I eat my lunch. After a few days, I've come to enjoy the show.

host of the show WOWOWEE (Willie Revillame)

Last Friday, August 07, I skipped school. I think I had something close to LBM, my stomach was upset and all. I wasn't able to sleep well. My yaya woke me up for lunch, I ate at the breakfast table just outside my room since I was too lazy to go all the way down to the dining table. I wasn't in any mood to eat but I knew I had to eat something.


After my meal, I scanned the TV for something good, but nothing was on. I resorted to watching WOWOWEE. The have this game where they have people that belong to a certain category, audition for a spot to be able to join the game. The theme for that day was people with yellow uniforms. Willie (the host of the show) interviewed this girl and found out that she was the house help of his cardiologist. He went on about the heart doctor and how thankful he was to him and his family. He said that his doctor would text message him to check on him and remind him to watch his diet. I was appalled when he revealed that his cardiologist doesn't even charge him for anything.


I have nothing against Willie or his kind cardiologist, but that statement just got me thinking. Willie is rumored and believed to be earning 1 million pesos a day, on the average. I find that very hard to believe but I haven't read or heard otherwise from elsewhere. It also got me thinking about other celebrities. They are rich already as it is, yet people offer them FREE stuff. There are those poor people who can barely afford to eat, but you rarely see them getting any free stuff. Sad sad thing. People who are in dire need of medical assistance and stuff but can't get any because they don't have the money and means of income for it.


So, a while back, sometime summer, I text messaged one of my friend Luy. I told her that we should do a fund raising thing this sembreak, I pray that it will push thru. I just recalled that short conversation we had thru text messaging.


The thought just got stuck in my head. The RICH getting RICHER (more rich) because of all the free stuff and perks they get to enjoy, and the POOR getting POORER (even more poor) because they are charged for more than they make. I have nothing against the rich or the media, the celebrities, sponsors and all, nothing against anyone, just putting my thoughts out here.
