Almost there Joey I'm sure the whole team would still win
the game without their MVP
Its championship dad! I trained so hard for it
What if I told you that the people here play just as good as
who's that famous basketball player? Michael Carey, yeah him! Actually maybe
not him Stefan Jordan yeah that's the one
Come in! Let's eat!
Hi uncle!
Whoa! What is that thing oh? Is that a tablet?
Can I hold it?
Joey! Stop! That is not good for you. You should not eat so much salt.
Why not?
Because it's 'asin!' Did you get?
It is not a sin to eat salt.
What are you talking about?
That is my favorite joke. 'Asin' means salt in tagalog
and, well it's not funny now that I explain it.
Did you get it?
So, what about 'gets mo?'
Who's that?
Melvin! Give your cousin a tour outside!
so, what do you want to eat?
I just want macas.
Macas? We don't have that here.
Only 'turo-turo.' Ok?
Yeah? Ok, let's see 'turo.'
Okay! We're here! This looks good, what do you want?
I'll try a 'turon.'
That's a banana spin roll. Right?
No, it's not. We're at 'turo-turo,' point point. You just point at the food that you want to eat.
You know, point point.
Ahhh. Point point.
What's that?
'Kwek-kwek.'
How about this?
One-day old chick.
That one?
Kikiam.
How about that?
'Sapin-sapin'
That one
'Tungi-tungi.'
This one?
'Bola-bola.'
ewww! Yuck!
Just a joke!
Maybe, maybe, just dessert, dessert.
Ohhh... Just a joke?
You're learning! Ok, you try this one!
'Halo-halo.' Halo-halo Mix mix.
Joey, let's play basketball. I've heard you were an MVP.
Wow!
Let's play!
Hey! Those aren't real! Your shoes are not real.
Your shoes, they're fakes!
Your rubber shoes are fake and you boast about that. Just a class A.
I will tell my mother to buy me one at the market.
Hey Melvin, let's take a selfie.
I look good in the photo.
I'm just saying that we both look good.
Aww!
Ouch
What have you done to my shoes Melvin?!
I'm sorry Joey.
I didn't mean it.
Our opponents really challenged us.
I don't know what you saying.
Joey, wait who get it Melbourne.
I'm done playing
Wait Joey, I'll clean your shoes you can have mine, if you want, Joey.
Please Joey. Please . . . Joey. . .
Hi Joey. I thought Melvin was with you?
He said, he was going to store to find something really strong to clean the mud. What happened?
I'm not sure
Joey, what's wrong?
Typhoon will earlier than expected. We advise people to evacuate right away.
To avoid heavy traffic and to avoid floods.
Even in your place, though it may look calm, still be cautious.
This typhoon will be one of the strongest typhoon in the history.
Let us pray
Mom, what's going on. Where are we going?
We're going to dad's old school. Be brave.
We're almost there. Just keep praying, son.
Melvin?
Can I help uncle?
It's too dangerous Joey. Stay here, you don't need to come.
Please uncle. I really want to.
OK Joey! Let's go!
Joey I forgot to give this to you. I found your phone in the van last night.
Thanks uncle.
Dad, those are Melvin's shoes.
In my mind, I've replayed many happy scenarios with Melvin. Finding each other
or playing a game of basketball
The evacuation shelter and even also after the worship service.
In my mind, we were so happy and excited to see each other
A last photo together it's been three months since a typhoon when God decided
it was time for my cousin Melvin to rest although the loss was hard to understand
at first God soon revealed to us his great plan
in all things I want to show God that I'm not bitter but instead so thankful
for what he chose to occur I am introducing to you my cousin and friend
that you will never get to meet to remind us of a friendship that is
irreplaceable to this day but more so to remind us that God has a power to turn
the greatest losses into the biggest of joys.
My new year will always be spent
remembering Melvin. I'll introduce him again to you when we finally go home.
