You might think it's weird but I am crying right now. I just found out, like two minutes ago, that he had passed away through this video. I cannot believe it! And he was so young. =(( Last week pa pala? That's what I get for doing the *mark all as read* thing in Plurk and barely browsing through my friends' Multiply updates. Damn it, I wish we have TFC!!! ='((

I feel sad. I may not know his family personally, but through some friends (like Camille and Abbie) and through some of their & others' personal blogs (like Nica P. and Chuvaness), I have gotten to know Francis, Pia, Maxx, Frank, Saab (and the others) a little bit deeper. I feel for them because I know how it's like to lose a Dad. It's hard. It's just plain hard, period. I'm just so sad right now. I wish there was some way I could appease them but since I'm a thousand miles away, all I can do is give all of them my heartfelt condolences.

Here's to you, FM! I know you're looking down on all of us with a smile on your face. Say hi to my Dad and my Lola for me! =''')

P.S. From Chuvaness' blog--
"The atmosphere was light. His family, though tired, had smiles. I was told he died peacefully with Pia singing to him in the ICU, when he flatlined."
