Rest well now, Joan.

I unexpectedly received a message early in the morning for a job interview today. Ayoko sana pumunta because my heart was still hoping that i'll get a message from star cinema at the end of the week. But since my mom insist me to go, i did. I didn't expect that there are a lot of applicants in the Be connected/Bench/Suyen main office that i ended up dumb folded when I came in. Okay, I had a long exam-english, essay and math (fck, math! i hate you) and waited for 5 hours for my interview. Yes, that long. Muntik na nga ako umalis, kung hindi ko lang inisip yung hinintay ko because I'm actually pissed already and so as the other applicants na kasama ko maghintay. And oh, the interview only lasted 5-10 minutes. And to cut the application story short, I think that I wasted my day for nothing.

Early that day, i received a message from Nikka that our elementary friend, Joan Vargas passed away. Hindi ko alam ang i-rereact ko, hindi kami ganun ka-close when we we're younger, but i can say that we are friends. Nalungkot talaga ako because she's gone too early. :|
Nikka, Alisa, Aiko, Fritz, Ralph, Lino, Miguel and me went to Joan's wake and we got totally emotional, lalo na si aiko who can't stop crying. Hindi kami makapaniwala that she did passed away. Sabi nga ni nikka, "parang kelan lang.." totoo, i still can remember how bubbly she was during our elementary days, nakakalaro ko pa siya noon at idol ko talaga yan kasi super active niyan sa kahit saan, lalo na sa dancing. I also remember her for her pigtails, Araw araw ganun ang ayos ng buhok niya, parang si chabilita. Lastly, her smile that makes her Ms. Sunshine, kasi whenever she smiles, the room becomes brighter.
Nung nasa wake kami, andami namin nalaman about her, how good, generous, responsible, dedicated and hardworking she is as a person. Tumaas ang kamay ko sa kanya kasi at the early age, she strives so hard para mabigyan ng magandang buhay yung family niya. Wala akong masabi how selfless she is. I know, even if she's gone too early, she lived her life the best way she knows how. Feeling ko, happy naman siya because she had given enough and beyond. How selfless she loves her family to the extend of giving up her life for them. Kaya naman without a doubt, kinuha na siya ni God to give her all the rest and happiness she needs in his comforting arms.
Joan, you are such an inspiration. I adore you and we will remember you.

aaw.. such a sad news, Jhonie. *hugs*

Seth, Shai and I had the same experience just this January. A friend of ours died in an accident. She's so bubbly, loud, hyper, sweet, talented, responsible and most of all, selfless too. kaya naman we're super hurt sa nangyari, hanggang ngayon we always cry, talk about her and be sad remembering how she died. Lalo at araw-araw namin siya kasama ;( oh well, sabi nga tapos na sila sa mission nila. di natin alam kung ano yun, si Bro lang ang may karapatan. sigh. Let us all pray that they may go rest in peace.

=)
