Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms.

Mama Tess Your Memories Will Always Be with Me


No one wants to talk about when our life is about to expire. Definitely it will come to everyone in the future when God feel it is time to leave the presence of where you're at.

Ever been in a situation when your other parent needs you the most when they have lost their other half.

Carmina has recently found out her stepmom Mama Tess passed away in the States. I am unable to fly down because I am also taking care of Mom Violy.

When your left in the dark and no one giving you the funeral services to attend online curiosity comes in mind.

After dwelling and gather all my emotions having two attempts Mama Tess was next by me when her floral scent was next to me. In my dream Mama Tess told me to think only the good memories of her. Mama Tess wanted me to explain everything we did together. 

Memories of Mama Tess and Carmina Together

We had attended a children's birthday party with my family. In our photo is Carmina, Mama Tess and Papa Ping who is my brother in-law's grandpa.


While I was in town in California, we ate at Mama Tess favorite California Pizza near Great Mall to meet with stepbrother Mark. 


Year after Carmina ate at Aunt Rita and Tita Jaime's house in Danville, California along with my dad and Mama Tess.


Celebration of my dad's birthday with his family in Napa Valley, California.


Year 2017 during Memoria Weekend my dad introduces me to his ballroom friends another interest they spend together. I had gained new friends who are consider my other Father and Mother. 


Year 2019 we went to San Francisco a place Mama Tess love to visit when I am in town.


Mama Tess was wearing a white outfit with florals. In my dream it was very bright while I am talking to her in my dream all my worries went away.

I woke up the next day feeling I need to stop delaying my life. 

I realized that Mama Tess will understand why I cannot be there for my dad right now.

When someone dies do you sense anything from them?

I've always had a scent from the air when I mentioned their names. Or at passing I can see an image of them where they use to stay.

I never been afraid of someone who has passed away. 

Everyone it takes a longer time to get over and heal what they are feeling deep inside.
