My experience on board Tasik Melati is the most value thing in my journey. I meet with Filipino crew and enjoy every single pain in my life day by day. I learn how to speak and pronouns Tagalog by them. They also treat me just like one of them. my journey begin with happiness and we are team work like a brothers.
but, something just happen in the middle of our journey. the guys who take the selfie in the picture is my very close friend during 6 months after my sign on date. His name is kyle abad falicitas, he is very good OS and also very good brother for me. This picture was taken exactly 6 hours before kyle leave us forever. The tragedy happen on date 8 august 2016. Kyle was working alone at poop deck. During that chief mate give job order to kyle for about segregate the garbage by drums. I and bosun was at forecastle checking and securing all possible thing priority to enter ZOGULDAK port at TURKEY. Bosun ask me to take some grey paint and epoxy at paint store. he said cadet bilisan mo ang bagal . I was happy because I can disturb kyle , but I shocked when I see kyle fell down and his hand shaking like he feel pain on his chest. I take him into accommodation and inform officer on watch. captain assign me to take care of kyle and always aware with kyle blood pressure.
this picture is 16 hours before he leave me forever. we sing together and I always call him tangina only a bad word that I know at that time. At the moment we at the bridge I ask him.. kyle where u will go after u finish this contract . His contract finish on 19 august 2018. He said, cadet walang problema if not here. u r my brother n I will not continue my job as a seafarer but I will go somewhere far from here. I just turn back my head and said aos lang u r so sarapbuhay and we laughing without notice captain is there on bridge.
this is picture when I'm alone on bridge while other crew to hide something from me about kyle. On the port side of my vessel. I see police of Turkey come on board but nobody allow me to go down. I almost get fight we my officer because I now something is just happen. my heart getting beat fast I and in my mind keep asking where is kyle even I don't know exactly what happen. I stayed on bridge from 0600 hrs until 0900 hrs . and I cant hold anymore I just curious and run to kyle cabin. when I see kyle body without moving and cold, then I cry and I don't know feel very sad and cry without thinking anything.
actually that is long story, but I only can share until this part only. but if we had more time sure I will share everything . life is not hard and not easy as what we think, but life is everything that will start to make people around u know what kind of person you are
