<br />
</span>They say that there are moments in time when our lives change profoundly. Moments we remember for a lifetime. For our family it happened on Feb 2, 2009
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was around 7am, my mother roused us from sleep.
<br />
“Gising, di ko kaya buhatin papa nyo”.
<br />
She’s calm yet you could tell that there’s an urgency in her voice. When we reached their room, I saw my father sprawled on the floor, a puddle of urine a few feet away from him.
<br />
“Pa, napano ka?”
<br />
No answer. Just a blink and a blank look but one would notice the tears streaming down his face.
<br />
My sister and I tried to carry him back to bed but he was way too heavy for us that we needed the help of my bro-in-law.
<br />
While I was on the phone with my cousin-doctor to let him know of my father’s condition I could hear my mom whispering to my sisters
<br />
“Na-stroke ata papa nyo”
<br />
<br />
<br />
*********************
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1997, when I was in my 4th year in college, my father was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Open surgery was the only option. I was with him when he processed his papers at the PNB bldg in Roxas Blvd. He was only 55 at the time and no plans of retiring yet. Bless the bank, it was agreed upon that they would shoulder all the expenses to be incurred during the hospitalization but my father had to waive the lump sum severance fee. It was good enough for us.
<br />
<br />
<br />
The surgery took place at St Lukes performed by Dr. Renato Sibayan (RIP). It was one of the longest days of our lives. The surgery lasted more than 12 hours, the tumor the size of an egg. It was successful. My father had a speedy recovery. Months later, he would join politics. He served 3 terms as a municipal councilor.
<br />
<br />
<br />
********************
<br />
<br />
<br />
He was confined at the Iloilo Doctors. His MRI showed that there was a bleeding in his brain. Stroke nga. And so certain medications were prescribed by the neurologist.
<br />
The next day another cousin who is also a doctor explained to us that there’s a problem with regards the treatment. Apparently, the drug being administered to control the bleeding in his brain was affecting my father’s heart.
<br />
<br />
<br />
My father has a coronary heart disease. About 3 months before the stroke an Angioplasty was performed on him- a procedure in which some wire mesh tubes called the stents were inserted to keep the arteries open to improve blood flow. He’s taking Plavix to prevent blood clots. This antiplatelet drug that keeps the arteries from getting blocked does not help in the treatment of the bleeding in his brain.
<br />
<br />
<br />
To stop the bleeding, my father should stop taking plavix which can result in a heart attack. If he continues to take plavix, there’s the possibility that the bleeding will worsen and he might go comatose.
<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s a case of “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t”
<br />
<br />
<br />
My mother told the neuro to do whatever she thinks is the better alternative.
<br />
<br />
<br />
That night I prayed really hard. As hard as I prayed in 1997. Maybe even harder. It was different this time. I prayed for a lot of things actually.
<br />
That my father gets better.
<br />
That if it is my father’s time to go, I prayed that it should be painless for him
<br />
That my mother will be strong enough.
<br />
That her depression wouldn’t visit her again because of this blow.
<br />
That we will be ready for this.
<br />
Finally, I also prayed for money.
<br />
<br />
<br />
******************
<br />
<br />
We were never rich but we have always lived comfortably. What happened to my father drained us financially. Whatever’s left from the sale of a (parcel) of land in 2006 has already been used up. The insurance too has its limits.
<br />
<br />
<br />
On our 3rd day in the hospital we learned that my mother’s sister passed away. She too had a stroke, a fatal one. Again I prayed to make my mother stronger. It was a double whammy. I believe mama never had the chance to grieve for her sister’s passing.
<br />
<br />
************************
<br />
<br />
<br />
I practically lived in the hospital for a month. How ironic since I consider it as one of the places I like least. Maybe it’s the smell. Maybe it’s the feeling of uncertainty that permeates the place.
<br />
<br />
<br />
My father was in the ICU for the first 2 weeks and I would sleep in one of the benches in a room shared with other “bantays” of other ICU patients. My sister works in a university nearby and she would sometimes stay with me. My mother slept in my cousin’s place. We needed her to have enough rest, we could not afford her getting sick too.
<br />
<br />
<br />
Having an ICU patient was not only hard and uncomfortable, it was also depressing. Sharing stories with other families, the prognosis of the patients, the dwindling finances, the death of this patient, the signing of the waiver of a wife to remove the respirator her husband etc etc.
<br />
<br />
<br />
My heart would practically slam on my chest every time I would hear “bantay ni _______” on the intercom. And then a sigh of relief as the nurse only needed a fresh supply of diapers or it was time to feed my father.
<br />
<br />
<br />
When he was stable enough, we transferred to a private room. Here, the nurses and the caregivers taught me how to change diapers, how to clean and wash him, how to change sheets.
<br />
<br />
<br />
********************
<br />
<br />
<br />
My sister recently uploaded some pics of him on facebook and tagged me. It is heartbreaking and difficult to reconcile the man whom I looked up to as a kid; whom my sisters and I respect, love and sometimes feared when his temper acts up, to the man on the photograph. He, the head of the family, now relies on the people around him to be fed, dressed, bathed and cleaned.
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I wonder where does my father get his strength and will to live. He continues to fight. Papa is a survivor. If you’ve been following this blog then you’d know that he has been through a lot- a brain surgery, diabetes, tuberculosis, angioplasty, hypertension, cataract, (enlarged)prostate, cystic. He’s athletic in his prime. He played basketball. But then he’s a good cook too: food that can only be appreciated by a true-blooded carnivore- dinuguan (both pork and chicken), kare-kare, bulalo, crispy pata, liempo. Some uncles who are based abroad would always request for his bagoong na may gata every time they’re on vacation. In fact I got a bit of this skill from him. The night before the attack, I prepared our dinner: chopsuey and tinapa rolls. I wondered if it contributed to my father’s blood pressure shooting up. Because he ate loads of them that night .
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
**********************
<br />
<br />
<br />
In December 2008, a month after my father had the angioplasty, I left Dubai for good. Two months after that the stroke happened. My exit from Dubai was not graceful. Some would say it was a blessing in disguise since I became my father’s caregiver for 7 months. I sometimes think, maybe it’s karma.
<br />
Maybe I’ll blog about it in the future or maybe not
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s been one year and 8 months since the stroke.
<br />
Today is my father’s 69th birthday.
<br />
This post is for him.
<br />
(and to my cousins, uncles, aunts and friends who have never ceased helping us)
<br />
Happy birthday Pops! Just hang in there.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's been four months since I saw him off at the airport. He was bound for Perth, Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I knew it will be a bit of a challenge. I was never a fan of LDR but it's not very often when someone is presented an opportunity. I supported him, in fact I encouraged him; the same position in the same fast-food chain with better (at least 50% more) compensation and a great chance of becoming a permanent resident in his new country. It's very fortunate that we are on the same timezone, we face-time every night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two weeks ago, we celebrated our 3rd year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two weeks from now, I'll be seeing him in Sydney.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is going to be our first gay pride.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Life is good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happy hearts day y'all.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was taken on February 1, when we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I still feel quite giddy every time I think about that day, me picking up the love notes tied to red balloons and roses strewn on the floor leading to our room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love you, Tatay.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because Maldives is expensive</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And so is Bagan</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Japan requires a visa</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for our 13th month, we decided to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Ha Long Bay in Vietnam</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>It's not the cliffs themselves that make Ha Long Bay unique, but rather their sheer number. A huge bay dotted with nearly 2,000 mostly uninhabited limestone cliffs, both mystical and magnificent, an incredible feat of nature that almost never fails to impress. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Yes, it really is that good.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>- from The Lonely Planet</i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For many, a cruise on Ha Long Bay represents the pinnacle of ones visit in Vietnam. So we did just that by booking a room in <a href="http://galaxypremiumcruises.com/">Galaxy Premium Cruises</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Man, it was pricey but it's all worth it</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So Spidey came to town, and I was there to check out his bulge. I keeeed. No luck seeing Andrew Garfield in his tight Spidey suit. But really, thank heavens for the Earth Hour organizers and Sony Pictures, the cast descended on the red dot to kick off the event.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I was like ohmygawd this is like super level up compared to my celebrity sighting days in UP. I remember dragging my closeted cousin to UP Theater. We practically begged for tickets at the entrance to watch The Star Awards for movies. Sharon Cuneta was hosting, together with Aga Muhlach and Richard Gomez (I always thought Aga's bland and Richard's sex personified). Dayanara did a dance number. My cousin was so thrilled to shake hands with Charito Solis and had Mikee Cojuangco's autograph.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Years later, I would have a somewhat similar experience when a friend who was then working in ABS CBN gave me some passes to watch ASAP Live in PICC and the live taping of Sharon's show. I shared the experience with my cousin's househelp and a couple of neighbors who thanked me profusely for the chance to watch The Hunks performed live. I almost told her that I was super-kilig as well but I just smiled and said walang anuman. Nagwater talaga ako kay Piolo and Diether.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Yes, I'm baduy like that. So you can only imagine what a thrill it was to get up close with Hollywood stars, like 3-meter close, well, not close enough for a selfie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first to appear was Jamie Foxx</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then the funny Emma Stone</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally Spiderman himself, the cutie pie Andrew Garfield.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
A lot of foreign press. I was super hungry when Andrew Garfield finally made his entrance, that I went straight to a Ramen place after 15 minutes of staring and ogling. I was at the MBS around 5PM (one of the early birds to be inside the cordoned off area) , and the event started at 7PM, that's 2 fuckin hours of standing and waiting but as the bakya in me would say, it's totally worth it.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were exchanging messages on whatsapp. I alighted the train as the clock struck 12. He told me to meet him at the bus stop next to the MRT station. It's where I would see him off after our date nights during our first few months. I gave him a quick hug, aware of the people around us waiting for their respective buses. I complimented him on his choice of shirt and that he smelled really good that night. I noticed the huge bag he's carrying and he mumbled something about training stuff from work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
"Aakyat tayo?" I asked. I was referring to the small park on the hilly part of the station. That park is somewhat important to us. We spent a couple of hours talking in that park on the night we met. It's where we first held hands. It's where we talked about the cities and places we wanted to visit together. It's where we had our first fight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
As we were climbing the steps, I pointed to the bench where we had our first kiss. He shook his head and gestured farther up. We settled in one of the gazebos, which actually surprised me as it wasn't our usual spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
As I was mumbling about the park being eerily dark and quiet, he started taking out the contents of the bag. First, a batik cloth which he carefully laid on the table, then a couple of plates, two pairs of spoons and forks, some take outs, a huge mango cake and three colorful goblets made of plastic. He took out his hair wax too, and something leafy and a bottle of red wine. While he was doing this, he kept on apologizing that he couldn't find the right plates and glasses, and the right food as most restaurants were closed since it was day 1 of Chinese New Year, that he wasn't so sure about the wine, that he couldn't find some decent flowers, and that maybe the whole thing wasn't such a good idea, that I might not like it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
"Pasensya ka na ha plastic ang wine glass natin. Wala akong makitang roses kanina. At wala ring candle holder. Gusto ko lang maging masaya ka at maging memorable sayo tong anniversary natin. Nagaalala ako baka baduy. Gusto ko lang talaga na maging perfect ang gabing to"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<br />
I smiled. I held his hand and reassured him, that it was perfect, that it was more than perfect.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It was moonson season when we went to Krabi, (I know I know, should have checked the weather before booking the flight). Encountered huge waves during the island tours which scared the shit out of me. I thought the boat's going to capsize. Scariest 15 minutes of my life.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two months after the event, the Official Aftermovie of Tomorrowland 2013 is up. It's more than 30 minutes of dance fillers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of all the tracks in the video, I thought one stood out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fine, it's just my opinion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I couldn't get enough of Martin Garrix's Animals. Real fun starts at 0:58.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Close 2nd is Sebastian Ingrosso's Reload. I remember a friend, his ex, and I dancing to this during Swedish House Mafia's One Last Tour last January. It was one of the last tracks in the show, mashing up with Don't You Worry Child's reprise. The original mix was by Ingrosso and Tommy Trash, this clip here is the vocal version with John Martin.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, if you're the type who like catchy songs with emo lyrics, you know sad lyrics that are guaranteed to make you cry, then you'll love Armin van Buuren's This Is What It Feels Like. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Magandang eksena yun, tumutulo luha mo while dancing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Confusing di ba? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While listening to it, would you rather do the "walling" or flirt on the dance floor with matching tears? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And when it works, then bye bye tears. Vonggah!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Take this</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Nobody here knocking at my door</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The sound of silence I can't take anymore</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Nobody ringing my telephone now</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh how I missed such a beautiful sound</span></i><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally, Alesso's remix on One Republic's If I Lose Myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No, this is not one of them slash wrist situation. It's actually super feel-good, super pampam song.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awkay here's the aftermovie. Igiling mo pa teh. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We're quite your typical couple. Dinner-movie combo, beer and potato chips in my place, red wine and crackers or sometimes cheese if we have the money, a bit of travel, a couple of musicals, art appreciation (chos lang to) and clubbing NOT. Since naging kami, went clubbing thrice only, twice of which pinagawayan pa namin. This prompted a kumare to comment. "Grabe teh, you've changed. Anyare?"</span><br />

RIP Avicii<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okiepuke 2012 na talaga. And while some blogged about their new year's resolutions as their first entry for 2012, I am blogging about the biggest party I've been to in 2011- Zoukout, arguably the best dance music festival in the region. I rarely use the word epic in my everyday speech but if there is one word to sum up the event then epic it is, or maybe that other overused word called awesome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the date of the event was announced, I began asking my girls if they could work that day, specifically to take the evening shift. I missed it last year and there's no way that I'm gonna miss it's 11th installment. As early as 3rd week of November, I kept on badgering kumareng Peter to book our tickets online.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So ayun gorabels kami sa Siloso beach around 11pm. Mahalia Mendez ang ticket so balak namin ay pumuntang bangag na para di na masyadong gumastos sa alak. So bitbit ang kalahating bote ng Chivas (uu pangmatandang inuming hardcore hihihi) kumembot kami papuntang Sentosa. I'm sure nagawa nyo na in your high school life in my highschool life ang ilagay ang alak sa water bottle. </div>

Zoukout 2011 was headlined by the undisputed trance king Armin van Buuren but it was the child prodigy Avicii who I was most excited about<br />
<br />
<br />
Avicii opened his set (around 3am) with Fade Into Darkness aka Penguin. If you're a Leona Lewis fan then you're familiar with this track as her single Collide used a heavy sampling of this song<br />

After Avicii's 2-hour set came the main event, the king of trance himself Armin van Buuren. I guess his intro summed up Zoukout<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Music is a universal religion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's stronger than boundaries or any belief</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone's taste in music is unique</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But there is something universal in our experience</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An incredible power when all kinds of people put together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and celebrate life<br />
<br />

Throughout his set, he kept the crowd in high spirits. The dude won't let you drop. If Avicii's music is eargasmic, AvB's gave everyone multiples of it. His set started at 5am and he made sure no one felt the fatigue. .<br />

Grabe ang sayaaaaaa. Pamorningan ang tugsh tugsh. As in kahit pagoda cold wave lotion na ang katawang lupa ko, go pa rin, na when his set ended past 7am, nasa harapan nako as in super lapit ko na sa stage. Gaano kalapit? Ganito kalapit.<br />
<br />

Thank you Zouk. Please bring Ingrosso and Alesso next time. And you might want to bring back Tiesto and Afrojack because I was so absent and missed them last year and ok payn, that very mainstream Guetta too. Isama nyo na rin si DashBerlin para happy-happy.</div>
