Everyone was watching TV. All the little ones were on the floor almost onlya foot from that screen. The phone rang. Esso who was barely five then answered the phone. Then started shouting, "Sargeant! Sargeant!" Then came with that pretty boy's smile, "Ay! Auntie Sabet pala." Nobody knew how the program on the TV ended because everyone was laughing, and rolling on the floor. Esso talaga.

I can never forget how at a very young age Esso took care of Troy and Uncle Lambert. We would still be sleeping in our beds in the wee hours of the morning Esso would be downstairs in the hollow blocks washing clothes, and up on the roof of the garage even before the sun was up, to beat Auntie Sabet, who of course only falls off the roof .... to make sampay and get the best spots for their clothes dry. Then off he goes to the gym to play basketball. when he comes back he chases me around with sweaty kili-kili forcing my arm up to wipe it ... eeewww dugyot!!! Esso, you will always be in our hearts.

We praise you Father that you have shared Esso's life with us. Thank you that he is now at peace with You. We pray for Troy, Angle,and Auntie Terry. May they find strength and hope in you in this time of sorrow. We pray for the whole Limpin clan. Bind us in Your love and hold us in Your hands. We pray for the originals, Ujong, Oca, Rod, Ligaya, Guia, Liege, Sabet, Bobot, and their spouses, Weny, Tenny, VIcky, Cris, Carl, Matt, Ramon, Caloy. May they all live of good health and abundance as they continue to put You first and lead their lives according to Your will. We pray for the cousins, nieces, and nephews. Cover us with the blood of Jesus and protect us from disease and harm. Please guide us each day that whatever we do would be pleasing to Your eyes. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Yes Tets, I remember vividly. Sometimes I can even feel the Baguio weather. It was during those Charlie's Angels days (i played Sabrina!) that we'd team up and play gun-gun. I had a small paltik (fake of course) and Esso had this big wooden shotgun, that Auntie Sabet uses to pounce on the tails of our little friends. Esso would be the last man standing as he'd be hiding outside the window or climbing who knows what and where! When Esso'd be a neat freak, he'd be scrubbing the floors in brower and then he'd bend down and check if the floor was evenly scrubbed. haha But mostly I remember that handsome face, that girls were swooning after ... especially if he had eyeliners on. Thats my guapo insan! - Mia
