~ Question ~

" If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?"( question was copied from Ate Yvonne Asencio's FB Acct )

Who are you calling?
My mind was flooded with so many people I so wanted to keep in touch with before I die. I find the question to be so limited and it kind of made me panic because oh my I can't choose among all the closest people in my life. It's a given that I should have to call my Mom, siblings and the rest of my family. But then again , the question demands for only one phone call and that's just harsh. Alright, let me try to truly give you an answer.

I think if I have to call only my MOM, i will tell her how greatful I am to be her daughter. I will tell her that although no amount of words that would best describe how THANKFUL I am to have a mother like her I will still say it anyway. But honestly , I don't have to wait for that time to come because everyday I get to tell her these things because you will never know when are you going to run out of chance. Now, I have an answer.

But if it's not my mom , I will probably call my SERAPHIMS'26 and COMPANY ... These are the people I practically grew up with. They are my bestfriends, soul-sisters, gate-keeper of my dreams and hopes, the angels I found here on earth. Although I only get to call one of them I think I will have to call Phoebe Joy Obrique because she's I think the best person to call when you want to gather everyone around and remind them all of something. I will ask Joy ( her nickname ) to let everybody know that they all made my life such a wonderful ride. I will ask my friend Joy ( whose already sobbing to death for sure while getting my message across since she is so emotional ) to make it known to everyone how blessed I am to have friends like them because not everyone gets to have the kind of friendship that we all share.

and of course  ...

I think I will call the people I had lost touch with and since the word was lost so I don't think I will ever know how to call them. Maybe I will find common friends to tell them that I wish them well.

The question made me think and made me realized that if and only when we know how to say things whenever we have the chance then it won't be too hard to choose who are we going to make that one and final call with and if WE WILL NEVER BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO MAKE THAT ONE LAST CALL at least we won't have to go with regrets in our hearts.

But since we don't live in a perfect world where everything is perfect of course there will always be people in our lives whom we failed to say things with. It could be because we choose to burn bridges with them that is why we are limited or really have no chance to tell them or we may be too comfortable and complacent with these people in our lives that we think they already know how we feel towards them. Either way , I think it would still be best to say it and say it out loud. Sounds easy-peasy ? Hell noh .. hehe!! I myself believe that we live in a time where it is sometimes hard to speak from the heart and although we know that we should tell these people how we feel about them still sometimes and if not most of the time we let it slip away.

And so here I am , I have thought and rethought, edited and deleted some things written  because to be honest I want to find myself one day being able to tell every people who has touched my life in more ways than one how they made my life worth living for. There will always be things to say and like it or not we will sometimes find ourselves waiting.
