GoodBye Lolo
Recently, my paternal grand father died. It is a sad event for the family but just to be honest, we were already expecting his departure in this world. The good thing is, lolo's death was a ticket for the whole family to be together. Not just my immediate family, but the whole of my paternal relatives. This is the first time we are complete in one venue. I haven't been this too close with my cousins. I even met new ones who are actually people who talk and not people who sit on the side, waiting for their fathers to finish gambling. Oh yes! I was actually pointing at someone.
This morning we (me, my brothers and my cousins) were talking about how we want our wake right after we die. I actually started the conversation when I told them when I die, I want to be placed on a black coffin, if possible it has to be black marble ( but i think that's not possible since coffins are only made of wood or steel). I'll be in a white suit with a very flashy tie. nah just kidding with the latter part. I still want a white tie to make it so "holy". And I want white flowers given to me. Then one cousin said she wants her coffin to be color pink. Hot pink to be exact. and she wants to be dressed in a ball gown. She wants her eyes open when she's placed in the coffin. In short, she wants to be a doll in a coffin. Weird.
Well, if you think I'm pretty random it's OK. I haven't slept like 24 hours. We were too busy having fun. During the first night, or was it the second night. We were introduced to new cousins. 2nd cousins. John and Louie. We've always thought second cousins are arrogant, gutless people. well, not them. We actually had some "conversation" with Andrew another cousin being the funny one in the bunch keeping the company alive and kicking. The whole night we were talking, drinking, laughing our hearts out. It was actually a good night. We stayed up until 8am in the morning.
Tomorrow is going to a sad day. Lolo will be put to his final resting place. I'm ready for it. Though I'm not sure if my emotions are gonna be stirred tomorrow.
