Goodbye Good General

Know what, i feel sad and disappointed right now. our long-time neighbor, Gen. Melivo just passed away due to aneurysm. i feel sad because he has always been there for my family ever since we first settled in this village. I remember this story that he gave us a whistle when we were young so that we could use it in times of danger, to call his attention. He, together with Lola Basing are like my second grandparents even though we don't get to spend time with each other. I always feel safe when they're around. I will remember him as the person who really loves his plants. Like me, he also has a green thumb. He would wake up at 4 am or even earlier just to water his plants beside my room.

I also feel disappointed because he died not just of aneurysm, but also because of our neighborhood's doing. Lagi na lang siya mediator sa mga away dito sa village. People in my village are quarelling right now because of financial, environmental and many more petty issues. Why can't they all just work together and leave the people in charge to do the work. I hate the new neighbors for interfering a lot with village matters even though they just moved in here. I hate the noisy neighbors for not shutting their mouths everytime a meeting comes up to discuss matters in a proper way. What do they want with those stupid positions anyway. I know there's money involved pero ewan. I just don't get people and money and greed and power. Why can't everyone just work together...hindi na sana nangyari toh. Well, I hope he's happy right now kung saan man siya. At least, wala na siya iisipin na problema...Pero kahit na! He would've done a lot more for our village.
