With the hacking that happened in the past few days, I think I would not be able to open my blog. Anyway, I would like to thank Deveerei for helping me out. He made sure to change my main key.

I was not able it for days because Deveerei secured my account. I really thought it would be gone for good. I actually promised to myself that as much as possible I would share art process to you all daily or some things about my life or other relevant issues.

For now, there are a lot of things that happened to me, either good and/or bad and I wish to share them to you all. But I guess I would not be typing down everything because that would be tiring for both of us -- you reading this post, while I typing for you.


My Grandfather's Funeral

To start the series of events that happened to me, I shall begin it with what happened during my grandfather's funeral service.

Every beginning has an end, and what I witnessed recently is a good example of it. My grandfather may had passed away though, but he has a legacy that he left. I have noticed it during my grandfather's funeral service. His children and grandchildren (including I), were all happy that he came to be a father to his children, and an grandfather to us, his grandchildren.

I do not wish to recollect the memories we had. It does not hurt anymore, it's just that there are a lot of memories.

My grandfather was buried in this newly built cemetery. I think this was established not more than five years ago that is why it is new for me.

A lot of people were present during his burial ceremony but I did not bother talking to all of them. Aside that there is still pandemic, I really have no energy to mingle with a lot of people under the scorching heat of the sun.

It was his junior, my father, who ministered his burial. I was really wondering what it had been for my father. He did not cry nor shed a tear, perhaps because he had seen it coming already, or he spend some nights crying. Well, who knows.

I looked at the skies and it was just so peaceful for me. I felt that the Heavens were feeling sad for us that it does not want us to be burdened by a rain.

I know everyone has been so busy and I am just thankful for every person that paid a visit during his memorial service and funeral service. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the Barrarodin family. They arrived before the service and showed support to us. I miss them all, especially the kids, that is why I was so happy when I got to see Queenie, Ford, and Nicole again.

My cousins and I also met like after a long time. I think we reached the age that we are all going to meet in certain events such as this one. Well, I guess that is given knowing that we are all working professionals and some of them already have their own families. I wonder when will mine come?

By the way, the belly on top is not mine. That's my cousin's. She's younger than I, but I felt so excited for her. I am wishing for my cousin's fast and safe delivery this May.

After the funeral service, we talked for like hours. After that, my brother and I decided to go to Bean Park to eat and drink something nice. We both were so excited and we really wanted some space to do whatever we want to do in a coffee shop, like play a game or chat our friends over Messenger.

I ordered a Thai Milk Tea because that's supreme for me. I also had a Seoul Sandwich. My brother ordered a cheesecake and a tea. The food was too much for us to finish alone so we decided to share.

A lot of things happened and are bound to happen, may it be good or bad, but I do hope that we would see all the good in it and assess ourselves and actions with the things that are bad. For now, I am really tired. It is past one in the morning alreadya and I need to wake up early because I have a long day ahead.

I miss you all guys and I hope we could mingle some time. Take care always.

Lots of Love,
Johanna
