00:00Is it okay if I ask? You can continue eating but let's talk a bit.
00:07Because I heard, Ms. Suzie, when you were young, you were the representative of the school's declamation contest.
00:15Correct, correct.
00:16So there, she remembers her memories.
00:19Did you win anything in the finals?
00:22Oh, this. J.D. won a debate.
00:26And a separate speaking competition.
00:30Why did you fall in love when you were young?
00:34I don't know. Maybe it's my natural talent.
00:36And my parents were always so supportive.
00:38So when I joined the English declamation, my mom would help me out.
00:43When I joined the Tagalog, my dad would help me out.
00:46So far, I'm always second place.
00:49Because there's someone who's really good.
00:51It's a good thing that one time, she got absent.
00:54She got first place.
00:55Nice!
00:56I still remember her name, Judith Ramos.
00:58But you told us about your late father.
01:00Did you get it from him? Or both?
01:03Speaking, I think both.
01:04But my dad is more natural.
01:07He's the first person I saw who said,
01:09my dad can be a vlogger.
01:11When did your dad get absent?
01:13This year, March.
01:14So this is our first Christmas without him.
01:16It's gonna be tough.
01:18It comes and goes, the waves of sadness.
01:21There will come a moment where you're fine,
01:24and then suddenly, there's a reminder.
01:28And then you'll cry so much that you can't stop.
01:30I know that feeling.
01:32That there are days that something will trigger.
01:36Are you close with your grandpa?
01:38Yes, I was pretty close with him.
01:39Really?
01:40Like what my mom mentioned, we would always debate,
01:42we would always talk about a lot of things.
01:44And anytime, I feel nervous about talking, like right now.
01:49I really always think of him.
01:50What do you miss the most?
01:51Grandpa.
01:52Or what do you call him?
01:53Grandpa.
01:54Grandpa.
01:55I definitely miss just his presence.
01:58Anytime there's a Christmas party, birthday party,
02:00he's just there on the couch, watching some war movie or something like that.
02:05There's a lot of things that I'm reminded of him.
02:07Like for example, cigarette smoke.
02:10Anytime I see a nice wooden cane, I think of him.
02:21I love you.
02:22I love you.
02:23I love you.
