‘Gone too soon’

Very selfish ako, gusto ko konti lang ang circle of friends ko.

Kahit kung titingnan mo friendly ako at halos lahat binabati ko, pero iyon talagang circle of friends ko, konti lang.

Masyado akong open kaya takot ako na marami ang maka-penetrate sa personal space ko. Isa pang bagay ay takot ako na maging masyadong deep ang emotional attachment ko sa isang tao at masyado akong maapektuhan ‘pag may nangyari sa friendship namin.

Outside of showbiz, may nabubuo rin akong friendship sa mga tao na nakikilala ko.

Like naging friend namin ang barkada nina Tet de Joya, Marivic Larrazabal, Faye at Hazel Villaflor.

I really enjoy the companionship, and laughter ng Sushi Gang namin nina Salve, Gorgy Rula at Pat-P Daza.

Aside from them, enjoy rin ako kay Mr. Fu at Bambbi Fuentes. Love ko rin ‘pag nakakasama namin sina Rose Garcia at Vinia Vivar. At ‘pag sosyal si Tessa Mauricio, Dondon Sermino at Jerry Olea.

Ayokong mababalitaan ko na may nagkasakit dahil hanggang ngayon trauma pa rin sa akin ‘yung pagkawala nina Ricky Lo, Mario Bautista at Ethel Ramos at Isah Red.

Para bang a part of you is gone ‘pag may nawawala kang friend. At lalo pang ang lakas ng suntok sa dibdib ‘pag alam mo na healthy at walang sakit ang mawawala.

Ewan ko pero siguro matagal bago maalis ang brain fog sa ulo ko dahil sa isang love na love na friend nina Tet at Marivic. We honor their sadness, with deepest sympathy talagang tinamaan kami sa puso sa pagpanaw ni Hazel.
Hindi namin ma-comprehend hanggang ngayon ang nangyari.

For such a short time na nakilala namin siya, naging very precious gem siya para sa amin.

Naging part siya ng conversation namin nina Salve, Gorgy at Pat-P. Madalas namin maging biro na Ms. Generous siya. Suwerte nila na nakasama pa nila sa isang trip ang friend namin ito. Kaya sure ako maraming good memories sa kanya sina Pat-P, Salve at Gorgy.

It was so painful to think she was gone too soon.

 It was painful to lose someone so young and at the peak of her life. I cannot explain why we feel this way. Dahil sa konting panahon, she touched our life with her kindness.

So with a heavy heart we will bid her goodbye. With so much love we will always remember her.

You left a big hole in our heart.

Goodbye for now, till we meet again, our dearest Chona Hazel.

We will never forget you, just rest in peace, and one day, we will be together my dear.

Love you, Hazel, your memory will always be in our hearts and mind. We will miss you, till that day, just rest peacefully with our prayers. Thanks and all our love, our Chona Hazel, forever queen in our hearts.
