Here is a poem that was in the "In memory" card for my tatay..

         God saw that you were getting tired,

        and a cure was not to be.

     So He put His arms around you,

      and whispered, "Come with Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer,

     and saw your life fade away.

   Although we love you dearly,

     we could not make you stay.

 A golden heart stopped beating;

  hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

      He only takes the best.

I love you tay

Dearest tatay,

      youre gone now, but i know your watching over us. please know that i love you and i miss you..thank you for always taking care of me, ever since i was a baby until now. i love you so much tay. Thank you for buying me food when i was hungry, for taking me to the hospital when i was sick, for going to my school activities, for being there when i needed you. no words can express how much you mean to me..rest in peace tatay, i love you

                                                                    love, Nene

MAn right now i'm gonna say shiz: err

Madonna, man cousin, what happened to US? there is no more secret agents, no more "infamously sassy and sweet n sasseh", no more donna and lanna..man i'm crying right now. we dont even talk anymore like we used to...we don't even talk period. i shoulda told you this long time ago. i felt like i lost a best friend...and i have. i guess you found a replacement for me ..but i haven't found one for you. yeah i hang out with my friends...but its only like every other friday..WE USED to always have time for each other, now its like you don't even care. It hurts me a lot to see you make plans without me...and you take jenna. Yeah sometimes you make an effort to ask me, but i feel like a tag along instead of really wanting to be there. so much has changed through so little time..just last january, i said you were my best friend/ cousin in my senior Ad...but the bond that we that lasted for 16 years have all completely vanished and what used to be long hours of talking on the phone and going out together have merely evaporated into just a simple hello and good bye..
