January 2017 – Joan of Art's Ship of Imagination

Dear John,

Ang daya mo naman eh, sabi mo you want us to meet each other one day.. I guess, it’s never going to happen now 😦 Mr. Death has already visited you 😦 Remember when I told you na sana those evil people na lang ang nagkaganyan na condition, but you scolded me that I shouldn’t be thinking that way.

Maybe you’re now wondering how Joan knows about it, since I’m just your online buddy. Na kung saan ikaw lang nakakaalam ng access para mamessage ako. Your sister told me about it. She said she was glad that she can access your email, then I remember – Yeah, I think we have a few exchange messages via email. When I went home, I opened my email. I saw your sister’s message saying you passed away.

Shocked, then my tears began to fill my eyes. Tired from work and no more tears to cry.. I.. by then.. fell asleep.

Morning.. I continued mourning.. still, can’t believe that you’re gone.” Joan would be worried if I wasn’t online” – Your sister told me this. And this was during your hospital days. I can’t help but smile that you mentioned me to your sister. I was touched that he was thinking about me in his most fragile state. You always made sure that I’m not gonna get worried whenever you were being sent back to the hospital. You made me laugh even if I know you’re in pain 😦

I messaged your sister back and got her response; “He really wasn’t well these last 18 months but I still hoped he would get better. But you’re right he is at peace now free from his discomfort.”

You’re really good at hiding it from me, John. Props to you because you even managed to make jokes about it. You were really happy to tell me that you already have an AC 😀

The thought that you didn’t make it on your birthday makes me quite sad. It’s your birthday on February 1st. You would have been 38. Happy Birthday, bud! 😦 Hugs** Thank you for being such a good friend and a wonderful person. This is really sad and I’m crying while typing this.

I’m going to miss those weird, interesting and informative articles you’re always sending me from time to time. All of those were amazing. Robots and other geeky out of this world, interesting stuff.

I’m gonna miss you so much, buddy 😦

Really brave, John. Rest in Peace ❤

ABOUT ME : JOAN OF ART

Hooray! You’re seeing my page because you have decided to waste a portion of your time, haven’t you? Or maybe, suddenly you’ve got interested and would like to hear some of my nonsensical tales that somehow you will find titillating – hopefully. Either way, I’m glad you’re here. My domain name “Ship of the imagination” was snatched from the (1980) Cosmos TV series (Now we have the 2014 Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson which is a follow-up to that series). Sounds cool, huh! No, it’s freaking awesome, man. For those who knows what the cosmos is, they’ll surely get what I meant by that.

And for those less fortunate people who haven’t got the chance to meet Carl Sagan’s ship of the imagination (why? I wouldn’t miss it for the world) – I’ll expound how wonderful it is.

Carl and his famous ship of the imagination had taken us from the edge of the known universe back to our pale blue dot planet.
Carl Sagan had his own Personal Voyage on his ship of the imagination – and then – I was like, why not create my own version of that one which was focused on my life experience. I guess this is also a good opportunity to extract my remaining creative juices in my brain cells.

I have a huge fascination with the very deep sea and all the life-forms that live deep down there. I feel so relax if those creatures exposed their beauty in my very own eyes. They are all wonderful. If you want to talk about movies and TV series, as a movie enthusiast I can lend you my shoulder. I appreciate anything that can give me a good-ass laugh.

I don’t need to say much, just check my blog and don’t judge, that was made for my personal amusement.
