Refreshing for a journal update.

Yeah. This blog has been screaming for an update. Most especially now. But i'm still in no mood. In a nutshell, i went to Australia to see my dad. He passed on peacefully last Friday, November 9. Surprisingly, i am holding up very well. I just got back yesterday. Dad won't be here for another 4 days.

Dad, Hold On. I Love You

"How can I say...
Say I'll be okay?

And if I fall through these days
That go by without cause
Just a painful mistake has left me
Here on my own...

And if I fall through these nights
I can't seem to go on
Just a sign that you're with me gives me the
Strength to hold on..."

My dad just had a large heart attack 12nn Philippine Time, yesterday November 1, 2007. He was found unconcious on the floor of his ship cabin while on sea in Australia. He was rushed by the paramedics to Townsville Hospital in Queensland,Brisbane by helicopter. Immediately, he was under operation to reduce the blood in his brain. After, it was found out that his brain was severely damaged. The only thing that's keeping him alive is his heart still pumping blood and a life support machine. He is in a very critical condition.

My sister and I are flying to Australia as soon as our documents are taken care of. I ask you humbly for your prayers. prayers for my dad, for my family, and me. As of this moment, i'm losing the drive to live and believe that there is a greater plan. Lord, i just ask you to please give me enough time to say goodbye to the most important person in my life.

And Dad, please hold on. I love you. We'll be there soon.
