for everyone
posting this hurts more than you can imagine.

he was my dorm baby. emer-seeen. now, i'm never gonna get to say that again.

we were juniors then. freshman pa lang siya nun. magkabatch sila ni drew.

he was the little boy who astounded us by jumping and slapping his hand on the ceiling. he had long hair when i met him. we even took pictures. dati, oldschool pa. wala pang digicams at 3210 pa lang ung usong celphone so nakafilm ung mga pics na un.

naninibago pa nga siya sa mga nagsasalita ng taglish -- taga LB kasi e. hinde niya alam kung matutuwa siya or maaasar. in the end, he adapted and eventually, siya rin nagtataglish na. hinde sinasadya pero that's the way life is you know.

mabait na bata. he'd go with us to chorale's shows. we watched movies sa mega. tahimik pero he had sense when he talked. no drama. no shit.

i remember when he was new to the dorms, he often had asthma attacks. the serious kind that hospitalized him for two weeks. dahil dun, his room was the cleanest in the house. lahat bago.

he was really good with the guitar. and he was really good with climbing. sabi nila, kapag nagclimb ka, sira na kamay mo para sa guitar. orson chose to climb -- pero he also learned that he could still play.

i haven't seen him since he left the apartment. he went to the states kasi. just a month or so ago, he graduated from college. i was so proud. isip ko, baby ko tapos na sa college. katext ko pa nga siya nun eh. finally daw, he could pass na his resume to HP. he asked for help with it. sabi ko, sure. i'll even pass it myself to one of the managers.

tapos now, he's gone.
god took him away from us and we don't know why.





may god keep you safe wherever you are emerson david.
i'll miss you terribly.
we all will.

Smile ka na lang, Dee. He'd rather see you smile than unhappy, I'm sure.

thanks guys. i went to his wake kanina... he passed away on friday. and saturday (23rd) was his birthday. ='(

marky: na PM kita

grace: i will. it makes me cry harder to think of him kasi i never had any bad memories of him... and missing him hurts more.

tina: i think they're handling it really well. they were so much more composed than we were. if i were in their place, siguro humahagulgol lang ako sa harap ng lamay.

divine: salamat ulet.

naguiguilty ako, i wasn't able to see his parents last night. i'll super miss him too diane. grabe. :(

btw, i was debating on whether which picture of him i was going to post on my entry, freaky. i chose the same solo pic of orson but decided to just post our photo instead.
