Before I die I want to...

Candy Chang: Before I die I want to...

Sharing this very timely video about life and death.

We had a colleague who just recently died of cancer at the age of 35. She is from a different division but we had business with her from time to time. She battled cancer for many years. The last treatment which hopes to cure it, had all her good friends and ABS-CBN employees come together to gather funds for the experimental treatment but to no avail. She will surely be missed.


I don't know Marion personally but the very few professional dealings I had with her
I find her so charming, decent and very positive about life.

When I was younger, I care less about death because I am only responsible for my own life.
But now that I am a mother, I feel strongly towards self-preservation more than anything else.

We all know that our time in this world is limited,
and that the only (constant) sure thing on earth aside from change is death;
and that soon all of us will end up done with life.
And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone dear to us or to someone we know.
But the thing is we cannot fight it and we cannot stop it,
what we can do is be ready when the time comes
and hope that we have lived a life we can be proud of
and that we have made a difference in the universe in our own little way
so that the ones we have left behind can move on with our inspiring spirit.

I am 35 years old now, same age as Marion.
Life is too short for someone who is so full of it.
But she had lived a full life and that's all that matters.

When something like this happens, you get affected and you get to think about the realness of death in your life.

Before I die, I want and I hope that my son is strong and responsible enough to be able to live a life he can be proud of.
