to jonats...

today i learned that an officemate, a colleague and more importantly, a friend passed away at 2 in the morning. he was no less than 30 and under normal circumstances, would've been at the prime of his life..

but sadly, jonats (as he was fondly called) met his maker due to cancer :(

this is quite weird to say the least. one because most of the people i know who've passed away are old and not directly related to me (except for my uncle). usually they are the parents of friends or something like that..it's of a degree type of relationship. jonats isn't one of them

i wouldnt say i've known him well nor would i say i've known him the longest but i'm glad to just have met the guy.. he can be stubborn (seriously not giving in to my points in friendly banter) but he's genuine.. most of all, what saddens me the most is that he was one of the first few friends i've had in the apathetic floor of the 21st. super kulit, di ako makatrabaho before without greeting him first sa ym.. he'd be so annoyed whenever i tell him na crush ko si ganito crush ko si ganyan but that's just typical "kuya" attitude..

so for the most part, at least in the short time that i've known jonats, he resides well in memory..
ika-nga ni ms marj sa status nya.. in loving memory of our beloved
