Aaron's 5th bday at the Memorial

It was a bit creepy but we had a b-day party at the Memorial beside dear Aaron's grave. Well. it's just a nice gathering for a boy we once loved and have lost. He could've been 5 today ( a sad fact) and he really was excited about his coming b-day. I guess, he was there, it was very windy. Balloons are scampering off, retrieved many times by Khyle and cuz Justin. I did not take pics, I have avoided taking one since the "crisis in pics" where we noticed slanting rays of light from heaven in our x-mas party pics. I leave the pic taking to the parents Weng and Nors. It was my first time to attend such Memorial party. Food was good, the relatives are all there plus all the 4 senseis with me ( they came from my place, we we're watching Coffee Prince, it's lika a holiday reunion for us, just kinda a bit sad. Malen came too for a short while and we had our yearly exchange gifts) and people from school, Laurenz and fam, Shiela and fam, Mrs Se and Rean, Mira and fam, Alvin and fam, Kevin and sis, Ate Lits and Mang Boy, whose foods was suddenly blown away to Aaron's grave. Nilaro siya ni Aaron siguro. :) I was with Mira, for a while I chatted with Tita Tessie. Nora cried of course at Prayer time and Weng videotaped us. I gave Aaron a Mickey Mouse pop-up card with a Mickey Mouse silver charm. I think Weng kept it. T Others gave flowers but I gave something else, something cute for a kid. Mira and I had no time to invite this cute dead guy in his sosi burial house that looks like a bank, that's what we jokingly say. He was a memorial neighbor of Aaron and Tito Chris and he died young from sickness, had a cute pic there, and he was the mayor's nephew. The cake was Mickey and friends, of course and had Aaron been alive, it would've been a nice party. I guess I'm now at peace with the fact that he's no longer with us and I know he's ok (with the dream and the x-mas simbang gabi head shadow) but at times, this kid scares me a bit at night. Or maybe I'm just insomniac. Oh, but he's a good kid. He will always be in our hearts and minds.
After the party, we went back to gsm. T. Joy and Cor we're shouting coz they claimed that their empty room (Aaron's room) suddenly opened its to windows, as if to welcome them. Yeah, that room is kinda creepy but I stayed there alone at lunch and no one bothers me. I guess, they can't scare me hehehe. Being scared is only in the mind. There is life after death. :) We have a little angel now.

Slapshocking yearender gig

Dec 29'07
It was truly a slapshocking yearender gig under the stars and the fireworks display na "surprise" daw ni Kuya Jamir. I met Ann and so I was with her and seated near a new band. There are 11 unknown bands there, slappy is the last band. Recollection tour nila Kuya Jamir. It was the last gig for Slapshock in '07 and what a fitting yearender. I've only seen 2 bands in dec, 6 cyclemind and slappy. I've always been a slappy fan and woudn't miss this for anything. You woudn't believe the kids here! All the slammin' and headbangin' I was dancing and singing too hehehe and jumping ala Kuya Jamir. I'm at the front rows syemps beside the guard. I love the gig, bitin sa songs! Ann got to embrace Jamir onstage. That girl is a veteran rakista! But she loves Miggy of Chicosci the most. I love Bamboo, Callalily, Slappy and Cueshe. After the gig, Kuya Jamir signed my brown Jap bag. We bid him bye on his car and then we parted ways, Ann and I. Sayang, no pic with Kuya Jamir. Again!!! :( As I got home, twas before midnight, of course I asked Aaron not to scare me at the gate and I didn't felt scared at all. He's a good kid anyway. After the gig, I got blisters on my feet so I can't walk the next day and sold-out lahat ng Recollection new album ng Slapshock. :( bummer! I didn't eat (just a sandwich) in the gig, no water either but we survived this slapshockin' yearender! :)
