life and death



Today our baby Luis is 9 months old! His parents got a walker for him. a

I may have mentioned my pet fish to you.. His name was albayno. He's a pink carp. Yep!! Carps are usually orange and black -- but my pet fish is different, he was pink. Early this morning when I was still lying on my bed -- my nanay went inside our room and woke me up with the statement that my fish died. What a way to start a day.. Not to mention start of the week and the start of a month! He's been kinda down and out lately-- swimming around the aquarium lacking zest and enthusiasm. And somehow-- it is painful to lose something that has been yours for such a long time. I have been so proud of that fish-- and as pathetic as it may sound -- I feel awfully sad. I will surely miss the color, the help when I feel bored, and the peace that he somehow brought me. He was 3 years old.
