Hello, kumusta na ka diha? Dugay na tang wala nagchika ay...
Bitaw, did you remember when we first met? We were on our first week as freshmen as medical technology students. As always we had a "get to know" thing every subject. Nakalimot ko kung unsa to nga subject. Murag chem man tingali to. Then I, introduced myself... "I am Franzis Mari Lawas, I graduated from Minglanilla National Science High School" then you were behind me then imo kong gikuhit..."Hala, science high graduate diay ka? Bright ka sah?" And my first impression to you was you were such a weird guy because of the way you approached me. On the next day, you talked to me na jud, I forgot how our conversation went through basta what I remember was, we exchanged cellphone numbers then you added me in facebook the following afternoon. Natingala na lang ko nga nagdaghan ug mga notifs akong fb, ikaw! Gipanglike nimo akong mga photos ug wallposts.
Nakaremember pud ka nga katong nagkatapad ta sa IT-A (1st sem subject, Information Technology)? Then touchy kaayo ka dimada.. Then timing nga nagmaoy ko tungod sa akong crush paghigh school then I let you read this blog. Honestly, you were the very first college friend who read this blog. Di jud ko kalimot sa imong quote.. "It's his loss not yours"
I will never even forget though I was so very very yagit, you still managed to call me "gwapa". You were one of my most supportive friends.
Did you remember when we were in the canteen with Brian? We made a deal nga dapat dagko ta ug grades. Then we made it all. Study jud ta together. Honestly naay times nga nasuya ko nimo kay bright bitaw kaayo ka especially sa Math and Physics. But I was amazed. Di ka selfish, mutabang jud ka sa uban. You always shared your knowledge.
Pero this one's very epic. Kahibaw ba ka nga ikaw ang nagbunyag sa akong pagkalaagan? Remember katong sa "Hukad" sa terraces? Kitang Maire, Criste ug Duran? I was surprised the waiters sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was not my birthday kay november to but you told the waiters nga birthday nako.. Wa lang kay lingaw ato. Ang ending kamo ray nikaon sa katong mini-"birthday cake". Then I was even worried because it was too late na especially nga nagpuyo ko sa Minglanilla then kahibaw ka, ikaw pay nisuggest nga ako na lay magbringhome sa mga sobra sa atong gipangkaon para ihatag sa akong mama para dili masuko. Then samot pa nga wala nay kasakyan, sira na ang terminal. Sus, nangolekta pa ka ug contributions sa atong kauban, then nicontribute pud ka para makasakay ko ug taxi.
Due to unfavorable circumstances lang, nabuwag ko ninyo ni Brian. Pero kabantay ko nga mao ra gihapon ka. You were still there for me. There were times nga ni-ask ko ug favor nimo, hatag jud dayon nimo. Love japun ko nimo. Ni-care gihapon ka nako. Supportive kaayo ka gihapon bisag magkina-unsa. Dili jud ka selfish.
Karemember ka katong intern na ta. There were times nga dili nako feel akong mga kauban sa first floor then ikaw naa sa second floor. Ikaw akong kaistorya. Lahi ra jud ka sa uban bisan nonsense na akong tinabi-an. Maminaw jud ka nako. I called you then "Gwapo" then "Gwapa" sad imong tawag nako. Kato sang ga-uban ta ug novena together with John Lee. First time baya nako tong Sto. Niño novena. Bisan gikan ta night duty, adto japun ta. Pero sa katong last days nga nagkita ta, mao ra gihapon ka. Bugal-bugalon gihapon.
Those were some of the memories we shared.
Enzo, Zor, Zoren, Gwapo or LORENZO, if ever you're reading this, THANK YOU so much for being a great great friend of mine. Swerte jud nga nagka-ila ta. I am so sorry for I was not a perfect friend of yours. Sorry sa katong times nga wala ko. Love man jud tika ba. Kahibaw man ka anah di ba? Thank you so much for your patience and being open-minded. Thank you kaayo nga bisan in one of your last days, you still trusted me. You shared to me what you feel.
If only I could turn back time and if I were given a chance to have superpowers, I wish I could vanish your pain. Pero Zor, nganong nibiya ka ug sayo? Dungan unta ta ug graduate ug take sa board exams.
Pero matod pa nila, Everything has a reason and I hope someday, I'll understand what it is.
Bitaw, Zor... Part jud ka sa akong life. Di jud ko kalimot nimo promise. You will be one of my inspirations for the board exam and med school... Niingon baya ka nako nga mamawi ko sa boards ug ig-med. Bitaw, I will make you proud.
I hope you are happy there. I'm just happy for you kay wa na kay problema. Free from sufferings and pain. Maningkamot lang kong dili muhilak kay kahibaw ko nga di ka ganahan nga muhilak ko. Pero gimingaw man ko nimo uy.
Bitaw gwapo, see you someday there sa heaven. Magbinuotan lagi ko. I love you so much my dear friend.
Rest in Peace. Farewell.
Sincerely Yours,
Ate Franz (matod pa nimo, ang pinakagwapa ug pinakalami nga intern)
