*~Laid to Rest~*
the funeral service for aida may will be @ holy family 11 am.
woke up @ 6 for some reason (summer, i usually wake up around 10), cooked breakfast, took an hour-long shower, picked up denise & kevin (9:30, right? hehee), straight to shantelle's. quite early, so nice, kevin, & i rampaged around ralph's supermarket. watch out, cart comin thru! hahaha...
set up altar for the service. i was breathless under the weight of the easter candle. we finally got things finished. jenn visited us. i saw rocio again! jan & freddy. shantelle wanted to tell monsignor to relax cuz he was worried that things weren't set. clete decided to serve w/ us. um, ya.. well, i told him that 4 servers were sufficient & maybe they needed a lector or somethin... clete took it as a diss (sorry). but ya, i feel that when it comes to the liturgy & its order, u can't just show up & say that u feel like servin. whelp, he did incense, got a lil excited & started way ahead of us. fr. shea was scratchin his head, wonderin y he took off. all is well. the service ran smoothly.
as i walked down the aisle lookin @ familiar faces filled w/ grief, i too began to think about aida may's fate. it wasn't like any other funeral i served. prolly cuz aida may was close to me. mass was absolutely beautiful. father's homily was very endearing. the eulogies by artie, kristine, & their cousins were truly heartfelt. artie began to cry & went into the sacristy. chee followed him, then i. we were jux so overwhelmed w/ emotion. i didn't get to hear all of kristine's (sorry, tin...i really wanted to but shantelle got kinda sick & i had to check on her and plus my mom kept callin chee's cell). eventually by the time i finished talkin to my mom, her eulogy was finished.. argh.
procession to Forest Lawn. saw mj & told her to hop in. the police was hillarious. he & i had our lil silent convos while he was directing traffic.. man, chee, nice, mj, & kevin kept crackin up. ya, we were tailgatin all the people cuz i didn't want to get lost. haha.. "i'm doin illegal things & the po is patronizin it" remember that one? reality didn't hit till i entered the gates. man, she's really gone. i'm not gonna see her pretty face nor hear her callin me. on our way to the site, we started talkin bout becomin religious sisters (u know, nuns).. it was a very informative convo. as we were walkin, something (rather, someone) put his arms around me. i was like, aahh, freak! get off! haha.. but to my surprise, it's my chubby hubby, who's not so chubby [i missed chris the cow! haha.. sorry for leavin all those fone messages. i think i broke ur answering machine. hahaha.. don't u just wanna gag when people get mushy? hehehe]. so ya, we said our final farewell to aida may as her casket was lowered down. man, i'm gonna miss her. gio, jan, mj, freddy, and i were huddled in the corner watchin & catchin up on what's new..
max's restaurant. i didn't want to follow the long line so i decided to go on central thru the galleria. smart move! oh ya, i'm becomin american now (early always. right, chee?). in the parkin lot, the security guy on the cart honked at us & i gave him the =P face. oh ya, me & the security guard are toite. tita glo & tito ramon seated us at a table w/ karen & her family. tricia, kevin, nice, chee, mj, and me all in one table.. aah!! we were laughin so much our stomach hurt.. it's all about the "MelissaLog".. come on, issa. bust out w/ ur "masarap manok" and ur "banana sawce".. haha.. blessing of the meal.. who me? naw, i begged rocio to do it for me cuz i get scurred.. "kip kip, kerrios".. kristine's friends are so funny. acc. to him my name is bethany mc somethin...and vince! don't get me started... he had this napkin crown thing-a-ma-bob on his head.. "ispis ipis whoo bang!" can't believe she forgot. jayrome is bald... yay! that mo-hawk slash mullet isn't the most attractive do for him. tricia was gettin thirsty so i loudly asked the waiter, "eh, boss! mayroon ba kayo'ng sprite? kasi uhaw na uhaw na kami." hahaha... dude, jux picture me sayin it w/ the accent.. hahaha. man, i haven't spent that much time w/ tricia in the longest, so it was pretty coolios. on our way home, we decided to visit ETHEL @ mcdonald's but again, we missed her. haha.. and that was our day.
I'm going to stop procrastinating ... once I get around to it.
