April 18 - Flowers: The Good and the Bad

photo by d2digital
I like flowers. In fact, there was a time when flowers were part of my weekly budget. Pag may occasion, lalo na. Pero yung inexpensive blooms lang, like mums, gladiola at saka-- anong tawag dun?-- yung purple or white or yellow na magandang gamitin for dried flower arrangements.

Anyway, my rich sister just hosted a big party at her house and opted to have flower arrangements galore as decor. When I say "galore", as in, joskoh! Ang daming bulaklak!

Now while we were just sitting there, amidst all the colorful flowers, someone said: "Amoy funeraria, 'no?" Ngak! (sniff-sniff) Oo nga.

So heto: will someone take note of this please pag mamatay na ako -- AYOKO NG SUPER DAMING FLOWERS SA AKING WAKE HA? Patay na nga, amoy patay pa. Just one on each side of my coffin, one on top and a couple of smaller arrangements sa ilalim will do. And then paki inform na lang the others na in lieu of flowers, please send donations na lang to our parish church. Okay?

Yun lang. And, ayoko rin ng Zesto ha? So funeraric.
