Farewell to you, my friend...
Si ate Yollie. She is a classic.
Cheerful, always smiling, you see her waving to people whenever distance doesn't permit her to chat with them.
She is talkative, a people person.
That is why she is well-known in the workplace.
She's also a cry-baby.
Share with her a sad story and you'll find her already wiping her uncontrollable tears as you go down your details. Very sympathetic.
In the bus, yesterday, on our way to church for her requiem mass Mamu suddenly asked one of the "Ladies" if she can already join their group. Tita Leni jokingly said that it will be hard for Mamu if she is aiming to replace ate Yollie. For one, whenever they have no food, ate Yollie would normally just order food from outside just so there'll be food on the table for everyone.
"Kaya mo ba yun?", she asked Mamu. (laughter in the bus)
"Saka kapag birthday nya, me dala na sya, pagdating ng hapon me dala pa rin si Tony at imbitado pa ang halos everybody. Kaya mo ba yun?" (laughter again)
"Saka si Tony palaging nariyan para sa kanya. Me partner ka ba?" (more laughter...)
Naisip ko, totoo lahat yun. She loved her friends so much she won't mind spending for them. And because her husband loved her so much, he shared her passion.
There were lots of people on her funeral. Some even came all the way from USA. Emails from our common friends abroad rained down on me sending nice words, reminiscing the years they have shared with her. I printed out all those emails and gave it to Tintin, ate Yollie's daughter. Even former colleagues who we never saw for so many years appeared on her funeral. A concrete evidence that she is well-loved.
Ate Yollie had follicular lymphoma, a cancer affecting the immune system, and she just had her 5th (of six) chemo cycle last July 10 at Asian Hospital. BUT, that wasn't the cause of her early death. She had a brain attack instead. Aneurysm. Pumasok pa sya last Monday, 14 July. Then she complained of headache in the afternoon until Tuesday morning. Her oncologist advised that she be given pain reliever. 15 minutes later she started vomiting so the doctor asked them to take her to hospital. In the hospital they found that her heartrate was way too fast so they contacted her cardiologist while they took ECG. She fell asleep and never woke up.
Nakakalungkot nabawasan ako ng kaibigang mabait, malambing, sincere, palabiro, maingay, iyakin, makwento, mahilig kumain, maporma, mapagbigay at masayahin. Wala na akong masasabi pa. Tumutulo na naman ang luha ko.

I got a new camera!
Its the Olympus 850SW!
SHOCKPROOF (5FT).
Accidents happen. A rugged metal body and revolutionary shock-absorbing construction are designed to withstand a 5-foot fall, drop or other mishaps.
WATERPROOF (10FT).
Innovative waterproof seals and gaskets allow you to take underwater movies and amazing pictures in a pool, lake or ocean.
FREEZEPROOF (14°F).
Perfect for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter fun, this camera is winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures.
FACE DETECTION.
Tracks faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
DIGITAL IMAGE STABILIZATION.
With high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images even if you or your subject is moving.
microSD ADAPTER (MASD-1) INCLUDED.
This model camera is compatible with xD-Picture cards (not included). It also accepts microSD cards (not included) which are compatible with various consumer electronics products when using the included microSD adapter (MASD-1).
Am happy. :-)
