THE C WORD

My coworker lost her battle to gall bladder cancer today. She was only diagnosed months ago & was reacting so well to chemo & all of a sudden doctors said she had 24 hrs to live on Monday.

She hung on all the way until today.

I was closer to her than most of my other coworkers. Despite the generation gap & noticable age difference she understood me & I her. 

She was a beloved woman & I pray for her & her family. I know she's in a better place now... 

She was always strong & full of life & personality. She was 69 so I hope that life was all that she thought it would be when she was a little girl. It doesn't matter how old you are; sometimes life just isn't long enough.

It's hard to write much more about her because I still can't embrace the fact that she's gone... 

Farewell my Nellie. I will always miss you

I'm backkkkk

Woww. I haven't blogged in so long I forgot my password. Smh.
Anyhoos, feels like yrs have passed since we last talked cuz soooo much has happened. I don't even know where to start...

Guess I'll do highlights then get into more details gradually.

In the last 5 months:
- My parents retired & moved out of state. It's bittersweet for me: I'm happy for them cuz they can relax & not have to work anymore but I'm also sad that I can't go see them as often. It's definitely one of those things that you don't value until it's gone... or far away.

- Actor had his 26th bday and it had to be his best party thus far. We had a house party at one of our friend's townhouse and everybody & their mama showed up. Well, no moms but u know what I mean. Lol.
We pulled out all the stops for decoration: red carpet up the stairs, red lights, streamers, 2 cakes and etc. It was definitely a memorable night. And somehow I don't have any pictures. Think I was too busy hosting to take any.

- I had a photo shoot for my girl's hair portfolio. We wore all black & she did our hair & make up. The pix turned out pretty cool & there are still more coming once they go through the editing process.
So if you're ever in Atl & need to get your hurrr did holla at Joy Tolentino. She's THE best hairstylist in the city. No lie. I'm very picky & she's the only person I'll let do my hair. Check her work out at Flickr. Search for "sokaiokyoon"

It's also the link to photographer KaiYoon. He's a great up & coming. Watch out for him.

- I also shot an extra part for a movie that Actor's a lead in. It was fun! They should be premiering it soon. Yeee!

- My dog has THE worst case of fleas this summer. According to the vets this is one of the biggest flea season they've ever seen. We gave him a flea bath, collar & drops and he STILL has fleas. Gotta spray the yard next. But hopefully when it gets colder they'll go away.
Well enough rambling for the day. What have you guys been up to?
