I did start thinking about death. Well, since Mama died, I've been pretty obsessed with dying. I told my blogger friend Kaith that I'm prepared to die--I've accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, told Vince I love him forever and always, I've bought long-term life insurance, all my debts are paid, and all my undies are washed. Yes, I have a fear of leaving my underwear unwashed. This is my mother's fault--she told me a lady should never let herself get caught with dirty undies. True to what she said, before Mama died, she washed all her undies!
When I die, I want to be in a simple wooden coffin and I'll wear a chic skirt suit--preferably Chanel, in cream or pale pink. And pearls. I want all my mourners to wear black, with big black sunglasses, carrying black umbrellas. Very somber and very stylish! At Mama's funeral, we all wore white (see below)--it's not very fash-yon. I want to be buried but Vince says he prefers cremation so I guess that's his decision to make.
That's me, my sister Jacqui, my cousin Iza and my sister-in-lawRose hamming it up for the cameras
Since I don't have a Chanel suit yet, I'm not ready to die yet! Besides, I still have a lot of things to do:
- publish a book or two
- host my own TV show
- see Paris, the Scottish Highlands, New York and Tokyo
- design shoes
- meet Stephen King
- see all of Jan Vermeer's paintings
- grow old with Vince
awwww...
ReplyDeletewell,since you are feeling better then that's good..
most people are afraid of talking about death, but death is just part of life,right?
we live & we die..
i guess the thing that's scary is that we don't know when it is...
ps:
natawa ko dun sa undies part
XD
hope you'll feel better asap,girl!
^_^
Ya, death is an escape, a release so it's supposed to be a relief. What is scary about it is when or how. For example, I don't want to die ugly (meaning murdered or gruesome accident). But who's to say? I'm going to pray really hard for a happy death--Cory Aquino's prayer is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteabout the undies thing, i'm careful with what i wear everyday, even when sleeping because gah, i don't want to die wearing an ugly and ratty underwear. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteme too, i'd like to wear something pastel when i die. but i'd want my family and friends to wear white, baliktad tayo. hehe. but yes, let's not die yet. we still have so much to accomplish! :)
HOY don't die on me :p
ReplyDeleteOoh... I'd also love to finally meet God and ask him all those science questions: like the time of the dinosaurs, what the universe is exactly like, the pyramids, and so forth ;)
Kaith, oh my--I'm like that, too! Mama also instilled that in me--always wear nice underwear so that if you get into an accident or die, you won't be embarrassed (like it matters!).
ReplyDeleteNeighbor, don't worry--I won't die on you, God-willing. Me, too! It's science stuff I want answered--like are there other living things out there in the vast universe?
