It is more fun in my wake...;p

Recent events in my life has made me realized that death will surely come to us.  We really don't know when, where and how we are going to die... one thing for sure we are going to die and bid this earth farewell.

With these thoughts in my mind I have come to the decision that I should make my demands on how my funeral would be like. hehehe!  Like I said, we don't have any slight idea when that day would come to us.

So to start my demands...

1.  If I’m declared officially dead on the hospital (hehehe! what a term) and there are some organs that could be useful for others then I’m willing to donate them to those kids who needs them.

2. My casket should be closed unless my family could find the best make-up artist who could make me look like I'm just sleeping like a princess then they could open it for viewing.  If not, my casket could only be opened on the last day of my wake and during my funeral mass.  Hey! Who wants to look dead when they already dead? Get it? Hahaha!

3. I really like to take pictures this is why I have made up my mind that during my funeral there should be a photobooth, wherein the lay-out of the printed photo should have a caption "It's more fun on Melai's wake".  Everyone who visits my wake should have their pictures taken.  I'd like a wacky pose please. HEHEHE! Yes I’m a little crazy, I admit it so do it.  Hmm…on second thought renting a photobooth would be quite expensive.  I think it would range up to Php 3,500 for 3 hrs. So…

 24hours per day / 3 hrs = 8 x 3500 =Php 28,000.00/day x no of days of my wake

 Gosh! There’s a lot of zeros there, my parents would kill me the second time around. Hahaha! Okay no more photobooth, they could print a tarp place it on one corner and hire someone who could take a picture of every guest or I could ask my friend January to do it for me. Hehehe! That would be cheaper that renting a photobooth.

I was also planning that there would be a video played during my funeral.  A video made by yours truly and it would be about thanking my parents, my friends, my lover etc and saying sorry for those I have done wrong.  But I realized it would be useless…  If we want to thank someone or say sorry to someone we should do it while we are still alive.  Right?

Well, these are just few demands during my wake and I'm still thinking what to add on the list.  Hahaha!!! Call me crazy if you want, I really don't care because for me my demands would seems like helping the ones I left to overcome their grief over my death and remind them that my death would be a celebration... a celebration as I return to my Father's home.
