Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry that I haven't been on or active on DA but a lot of things had happen ever since early this year so I've went on a hiatus status of sort. I mean I do come on DA once in a blue moon to check on messages - to reply or to delete. I wish this was on a better happier Journal but I would like you all to know of my absent on DA.
I haven't spoke of this to anyone, not even my best friends but I have written it vaguely on my LiveJournal and on my Twitter account until later this year.
2 years ago he was diagnosed with a IV stage colon cancer, there was no ill effect on his liver so he took it easier on himself for the past two years until on March 8, 2013. My mom told us that our father, base on the doctor's speculation, he has has only 6 months to live and eventually told us to be prepared. I broke down crying during SpringFest to a Christine despite it was something I need to get away for a day but how can I? So the family had hoped that within the 6 months we can do anything - everything for our dad before September. My focus on work was just as horrible but I continue to work and smile but a few noticed my change and commented I wasn't my smiling self. But who would've known that it turned for the worst during the week of April 5 -11th, when it was that moment he stepped out of this house through that door to the hospital, he wasn't coming back. It was the hardest week of all of our lives. We all took turns visiting our dad after work, my mom took the night shift where she nearly haven't slept in a week.
Before the night of his passing, he told my mom he was leaving. My mom thought he was joking. That afternoon my younger brother sent us a text to get to the hospital immediately b/c my dad's blood pressure was dangerously low. We rushed there and saw all of his close friends. We were all crying. My siblings and I were by his side, constantly talking telling him we are here. I held his hand, we kept talking telling him that there's nothing to be worried about and we'll take care of mom. I don't know when but I realized that his hand was getting colder and colder until we realized that by 6:15pm he left. The irony of the time, which I don't think any one of my family member realized is the time he usually wakes up and to go to work.
The most hardest part was accepting he was gone and the only thing that'll remind him of us was pictures around the house. Even so, I've only have a few recent pictures of my dad on my Ipad and phone. We've spend most of the weekend to ourselves until my mom's sister and her family came down from Canada to attend the funeral on Wednesday. I've told my boss and the company about my family situation and I was given the 3 days bereavement leave.
The wake and procession was the biggest as what the funeral home has told us. No Decedant in the history of this funeral home have ever existed that the line would go out the door. I never realized how great my dad was in the NY Chinatown Social Society - NY Jade Society, 5th Precinct, Sun Tao newspaper & a few more companies I can't recalled until the day of the funeral. I was aware but the numbers surprised us all. Before we head out to the cemetery, we've burned him a lot of paper gold bar, clothes for him to take with him, a large house, a car, & servants. Of course we joked if we should burn him a gun and iPhone. The procession was another eye opener, there was 3 flower cars and 20 cars following us to the elementary in NJ. The 5th Precinct escorted a way for the total of 23 cars including my family was in - leaving from the Funeral home, to my dad's restaurant and finally to the Holland Tunnel. From what I was informed, it was a volunteer of the NYPD. I'm sure if my Dad saw all of this, he would be so happy.
The most regrettable thing was never getting the chance to take my Dad to Japan. I wasn't able to because I lacked the money given my funds back then but now. I have enough saved up so I can take him but it's too late. I can take my mom but that's not much of a difference comparing to take a father who worked his ass off during 2008 to 2013 - even during September 11. He and I needed a vacation since I hardly take any actual vacation that leaves the country.
So my friends, my word of advice is please cherish your dad even if you argue the most stupidiest thing. You only get one dad and they always work the hardest to provide for you and the family.
Good night everyone.
I'll back with another entry for NYCC 2013.
With Great Love,
Chibiko

NYCC - it happened
4 min read
Contest: • _ • I guess I made it too hard to guess?
The answer is green tea. But I'll be fair on this...so those who took the time to guess you're all winners ;D
Con Summary:
langmuiyun stayed w/ me a good part of the weekend during NYCC and all my pets were giving her all the attention. Wong the family mix Shitzu & Maltese made her play w/ him. Latte, my pet rabbit, was busying climbing all over her stuff like a jungle gym & left bits of his fur on her jacket. ALL THE ATTENTIONS!! x3 Well I was informed she enjoyed it so I'm glad my pet made her feel right at home.
Didn't really do much other than get into the costumes about 70% of the time, roam around 5% of the con floor & 25% of the time was with friends.
BEST CON EVER!
I've spent most of time wandering around between the Square Enix booth & the Archie Booth so yes....King Sonic the Hedgehog did appear.b
So if anyone follows the Archie Twitter blog I had my pic taken & had both Jamal Peppers & Ian Flynn signing the crown (on Sunday). I've finally met Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante and both of the writer, artist & inker to sign the Sonic the Hedgehog: Mobius 25 Year Later. The most memorable part from Sunday was that the Archie people asks me to stand up and wave cause King Sonic was in the audience. I got up and waved but that was like a new interesting experience. Also a few good portion was me just half derping majority of the pics lol. I need to stop doing that. An eventual photo shoot will follow once the weather is warm and finding a proper location.
Oh and I got the infamous con flu which I'm still recovering from. • 3 • I've gain a super power call "Scaring subway rider with mah sniffles." Evidently I got a shot load of death glares that day .....
Overall:
Pro:
I had a blast despite not able to go romping around the Artist Alley since a few of my fav returning artist were there. Ah wells....C'est la vie.
Welovefine.com tees....bought more MLP shirts...but really overall....TAKE MY MONEY!!
Archie Panels & signings!
Friends & Curry
Con:
Missed a few people.
Artist Alley
There will always be someone during the panel sit through that just HAD to be annoying. No offense but those tiny comments of "yay", "oh no", "hurrah", and/or "awww" where even my iPhone recording picked up, stepping on the cape & the constant moving & bumping into the pauldron that I lost hrs of sleep to make was just rude.
Con Flu
Pokemon White 2:
If you didn't know.....I sold my Pokemon White b/c of the animation only to stupidly realize later...much later like AFTER I sold the game that I could've turned off the animation.
Usually I would attend a Pokemon event but the event was during NYCC so I didn't go. Actually I didn't really have all the info like where the party would be held. So it was one Pokemon event I didn't attend. Nothing was lost since I spent that night with my friends eating delicious Curry Seafood with fried rice. OMG...BEST THING EVER!!!
So here's my Friend Code:
4084 3535 6129
Now gimme yours!!
