To My Dearest Bubba,
You were the bravest and strongest person I have ever known. From the very beginning up to your last breath, I saw how fiercely you fought. ❤️
The best decision I have ever made in my life was to be with you and never leave your side all throughout. ❤️
I can still vividly remember how you would ask me, again and again, “Are you tired na?” And I always had just one answer for you, Bubba: “I will never get tired of taking care of you... because we are in this journey together.” You would smile and say, “Thank you. I love you, baby.” Those words alone gave me all the strength I needed to keep going.
I didn’t fully believe in the idea of unconditional love. But loving you changed that. Through you, I discovered a deeper part of myself... a part capable of doing anything and everything because of love. Because of my love for you. ❤️
Bubba, mahal na mahal kita sobra. Thank you... for your love, for your courage, for your trust, and for letting me walk with you through your most difficult days. 😭❤️
I have to admit now… I lied when I told you I’d be okay. I lied when I said I’d be strong. Because the truth is, life doesn’t feel right without you. 😭
There’s an emptiness now that nothing can fill. And I miss you more than words will ever be able to express. 😭
But I carry you with me, always. In my heart, in my memories, in every quiet moment.
I love you forever, my man, my Bubba @rickyad ❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate all the things you’ve been doing to support me. From day 1 you stayed by me caring, nurturing and always inspiring me to do the right things. Thank you so much my Malca. ILOVEYOU🥰
Today is all about you, my Bubba @rickyad 🙏🏻❤️
I went to our favorite mall and a Mass was offered for you today and throughout the month of May 🙏🏻 I got you fresh flowers too 🌸
I ate at our favorite ramen house (Botejyu) and ordered our favorites. I also watched The Devil Wears Prada and got your favorite flavored popcorn too—something we loved doing together ❤️
One of your favorite songs is playing in the background of this video, with your favorite Gatorade and Kisses Dark Chocolates ❤️
Honoring you today and forever, my Bubba ❤️🙏🏻🕊️🪽
I hope you like my mini altar, with Mom beside you ☺️🥰❤️💕🌸
I love you, forever ❤️

It’s been a year without you, my Bubba. 🥺
I miss you so much.... I miss your voice, your dance moves, your sermons, you being my backseat driver, your little tantrums, your smile, your scent, your snore… I miss everything about you. I miss us. 🥺
Many people tell me I’m such a strong woman—asking how I handle everything. What they don’t really know is that I still cry so hard because things are not the same without you and because it still pains me. ☹️
Don’t worry, I am still learning to take things one day at a time. I still love to talk about you and us—but more often, of course, about you.
I still cry, but most of the time I’m smiling while I talk about you now.
Bubba, I never knew my heart could love this deeply. ❤️
Happy First Heavensary 🙏🏻🪽🕊️ Please continue to visit and guide me, okay? ❤️🙏🏻
Mahal kita, Palagi. ❤️

Congratulations, my unico hijo, Miguel 💙👏🏻
Thank you for studying so hard and for balancing your academics and extracurricular activities. I know it wasn’t always easy but you pushed through and gave your best. Thank you for these awards... they are truly well-deserved. ❤️
I am so proud of you. We are so proud of you. I’m so, so proud of the young man you’re becoming. We are always here for you, no matter what. Just keep believing in yourself and keep going. ❤️
I love you so much, nak @migs_darroca !! We love you!!! 👏🏻❤️💙✨
P.S. Your hair though. 🤷♀️👨🦱🤦🏼♀️😝
Happy 5th day of the month and Happy Easter in heaven, My Bubba @rickyad ❤️❤️❤️
I can still remember when you used to say you didn’t want couple shirts, matching colors or the same designs... in short, you really didn’t want any kind of “twinning.” ☺️
But we tried it once and eventually, you ended up liking it. Later on, you were even the one initiating that we should wear matching shirts or couple outfits. Hahaha 😝😘 Obvious naman sa mga photos 😜 (madami pa actually 😁)
I loved how you adjusted so naturally even though it wasn’t really your thing at first. And when you realized it was actually cute, you wanted to do it again and again. 😘💕🥰
That’s one of the many little things I miss about you. ☹️❤️
I don’t have anyone to twin shirts or outfits with anymore. We really pulled it off before and if I ever had the chance to do it all over again, I would still choose to wear matching outfits with you. Always. ❤️
I love you, Bubba Ricky ❤️🕊️🙏🏻
Dear Bubba Ricky,
For a change, I compiled photos of you eating (and honestly, this is still just a small portion 😝) because I wanted everyone to see what a joker you really were. ☺️
You kept reminding me to eat healthy but looking at these photos… it’s very obvious that “Salad lang ako” was never really your lifestyle 🤣😝✌🏻
Kidding aside, it’s been 11 months and I still painfully miss you so much. ☹️
I miss our time together, our little reminders to eat healthy only to end up having cheat days that somehow always became every weekend. ☺️
I know you’re enjoying your time in heaven. Don’t worry, I’ll continue eating your favorite food for you (except sa beef hehe)… even if it makes me fat 😝😜
Disclaimer: At home, we always ate salad first before the main course. ❤️
I love you, Bubba @rickyad ❤️
Missing you always. 🙏🏻🕊️✝️
March 30, 2025
Same day as last year.
It was the day we thought we were losing Bubba Ricky... His BP was dropping, he was struggling to breathe and the meds weren’t working. My heart was breaking. 💔
I called his children. Our friend helped me contact a priest in case something happened… and then the Anointing of the Sick was done.
I told him everything I needed to say and while I cried, he was crying too. 😭
Maybe he understood. Maybe he knew why I was crying. Maybe he was trying to say goodbye. 🥺
All maybes. All assumptions. But in that moment, it felt like he was confused. ☹️
We had to bring him back to the ICU… and Bubba somewhat recovered. 🙏🏻
God gave us one more month with him… the whole month of April. ❤️
Missing you super extra today, my Bubba @rickyad . 🥺☹️ Kahit ang sakit ng araw na 'to last year. ☹️
Soft vibes only ✨ Just me, my mood and my moment 🫶
Easing into the day like… 🌸
I wore Bubba Ricky’s sweatshirt at work the other night because I was missing him extra ❤️❤️❤️
Guess what? I dreamt of him the following day. ❤️
Thank you, my Bubba for the sweet dream visit…🙏🏻
That smile, your touch and the assurance you gave me were enough to remind me to still take things one step at a time and keep showing up every single day. ❤️
I love you, palagi ❤️
And I miss you SUPER extra today. 🕊️🙏🏻✝️
It’s our day again, my Bubba. The 5th of the month ❤️
Aside from sharing our love for theatre, arts, music, film, food, travel and even massages, working out was something we both truly enjoyed too. ❤️
Even when we weren’t together, you’d always ask if I was done with my workout... working out, not for anything else but because you were checking up on me. You just wanted to make sure I was taking care of myself and staying healthy. (Bubba's love language❤️)
But of course, it feels different doing these things without you. 😞 I miss how demanding you were during workouts and I know you probably miss how reklamador I was too. Hehehe. ✌🏻
And for sure, if you were here watching this video, you’d add even more captions... because knowing you, you’d never let me win. Hahaha. ✌🏻
I miss doing life with you, my Bubba @rickyad 😞 I love you so much! Happy 5th day of the month ❤️
P.S. Our running shoes are totally very "CAPEATH" colors (pink and blue) 😝😉
Ten months, Bubba. Ten whole months. 😞💔
It’s been ten months without you. Ten months of catching myself wanting to tell you about my day, about work, about the little things, about everything in between because you were always the one who listened to all of it. 😞
It’s still hard.
I still cry.
I still miss you. And I think a part of me always will.
The song in the video where you were singing… it hits me in a way I can’t even explain. It feels so close to home. 😞
I keep holding on to the thought that we’ll see each other again someday. ❤️ And when that day comes, I hope I get to feel your warm hugs, your sweet kisses and hear you sing our song the way you always did... with your whole heart.❤️
I always love visiting your star at the Walk of Fame in Eastwood. Sitting there quietly makes me feel close to you somehow... whispering a little prayer like you might hear me. 🙏🏻
I miss the way you sing. I miss YOU.
And it still hurts so much, Bubba @rickyad 😞😭🕊️
Happy 10th month in heaven, my man. ❤️ I love you forever ❤️❤️❤️
