if you’ve seen HAPPY FEET, it had a song in the last part that had the line, ” in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make…” this came from the song THE END by the beatles. it’s not my favorite beatle song but it is my favorite beatle lyric.

 

one of the prettiest and nicest person in my friendster, anna melissa san gil, passed away this morning. she struggled with cancer for almost 3 years. she survived the first wave but the cancer came back last September and it was a losing battle since then. one of the saddest part of this story, she was only 23.

 

i’m not really very, very close to melissa but even after he and josant parted, she was still a friend. here are our connections for the last 7 years that i’ve known her and a few things i remember about her…

1. she was my brother’s girlfriend upto 2004.

2. she was a former star circle and hiyas ng san pedro winner.

3. she was a prettier version of jolina magdangal and paola peralejo, hehe. (right, jos?)

4. i saw her several times when josant brought her to our house or along family affairs, and even in los banos one time…and along the way, knows some secrets about me!

5.  i liked talking to her, she was sensible and witty.

6. she was one of the person who visited me in the hospital in 2003 when i was confined for days and was there when i was taken out.

7. she was my client, i took care of the termite control of their home in pacita.

8. in makati around 2005, a taxi almost bumped into the adventure i was driving. before i got mad, i found out it was melissa inside the taxi who told the taxi to catch up with us and just wanted to catch up with me to wave and say hi!

9. this laptop i’m using, she sold this to us at a very friendly price! let’s just say we easily saved P30-40,000!

10. the last time i saw her was last july at her condo and she complimented me with my new look and even encouraged me that can pass as a flight steward! really?! nah, is till don’t think so.

 

there are a few more but i’ll stick with ten.

 

last december, i was suppose to come with josant and my mom to vsist her at Subic where she was confined. my business sked did not permit me to go with them but at the back of my mind, i didn’t wanna see her in the condition she was in at that time. from my bro and mom’s account, she was very thin but still trying hard to be lively and perky…typical melissa. i just wanna remember her back when she was one of the loveliest person i’ve met.

 

melissa was very caring to her family. she sacrificed a lot to make sure she won’t let her mom and siblings down…she always had a ready smile for everyone…she was close to my mom and my father, who’s hard to please, liked her… if you only knew how many friends went out of their way to visit her in olongapo and last night in her final hours, you’d be amazed.

 

she’s the kind of person that even if you were only with her a few minutes, hours, days, years…she’ll always leave a positive impression, an impact. i admire and envy her for that.

 

and now, 23years and 2months after her birth, God took her away. It’s futile to argue with faith on why this had to happen. let it be. all i can say now is that having known melissa, the line, ” in the end, the love you make, is equal to the love you take…” is so true. there are so many people who loves and/or admires her. and she deserves it.

 

bye, mel.
