She asked if she looked “mysterious” after the photo was taken 😂

I’ll always remember Iling for her beautiful smile, her laughter, and her love for cooking. ❤️ She was such a wonderful cook, and I remember how passionate she was about going to culinary school and sharing her love of food with others. Her cooking was one of the ways she showed her love, and those memories will always stay with me.

Even though life took us in different directions, I’m grateful for the memories I have of her. Iling had a warmth and happiness that I’ll never forget. You will truly be missed. 🕊️🤍

Sending my deepest condolences and love to her family and everyone who loved her. May she rest peacefully. ❤️

My sweet Ling
Remember when you sent Jason Mamoa a dm telling him about me?  Omg I am so happy I screenshot it lol. This made laugh & cry.  The tears don't stop but the laughter is there thinking about our crazy conversations. 
I thought we had more time for one more conversation one more phone call one more everything.  I am happy I was able to see you & be there with you & your family to say sweet dreams.  
Thank you for always being there for me, especially when my dad passed.  You just hugged me & that was all I needed .
My heart is forever broken 💔.  I am forever grateful to have had you in my life.  I will forever miss you my sweet Ling. 
Love you bestie

Us, making memories in the Philippines
-2024

Hi Sis,

I wish we had more time. There are so many things I still want to tell you, so many memories we were supposed to make together. It's hard to accept that our story ended too soon.
I'll miss you for the rest of my life, but I'll never stop being grateful that I got to call you my best friend. Thank you for being such an important part of my journey. Your kindness, your laughter, and your love changed my life forever. 
Until we meet again, I'll keep your memory alive in my heart. I love you, I miss you, and I'll never forget you

Iling,

I’m still in such disbelief! 

Funny how we met at work and became friends, our daily convo’s/check in’s. My toxica self constantly Dm-ing you on Ig on your posts, our FaceTime calls (like this one me calling you drunk at the gym). You will always have a special place in my heart, thank you for being you and an amazing human. I will cherish the memories you leave me with…I’m still so mad that we kept postponing our brunch. Love you, keep an eye on me from up there! 🩷

Hi Ling,

I miss you already.
My heart still aches, and I still can’t believe you’re gone. It doesn’t feel real. Life can be so unfair, and it’s hard to accept that someone so special is no longer with us. I keep thinking about all the beautiful memories we shared.I’ll never forget our trip to Thailand and celebrating the Songkran Water Festival together. It was my very first time experiencing it, and I’m so grateful that you took me and Maldita there. We laughed, got completely soaked, and made memories that I will cherish forever.
And then there were our adventures in the Philippines…so many happy moments that I couldn’t possibly count them all. Every time I look through our photos, I’m reminded of your smile, your kindness, and the genuine happiness we shared. Those memories have become priceless treasures that I will hold close to my heart.
Thank you, Ling, for everything you’ve done for us. Thank you for your love, your generosity, your laughter, and for always being there. 
Your friendship was a gift, and I will always be grateful that I had the chance to know you.
Although you’re no longer here with us, your love and the memories we’ve created together will never fade.You will always have a special place in my heart.
I hope you’ve found peace, wherever you are.Until we meet again, please know that you are deeply loved, greatly missed, and will never be forgotten\.

Rest peacefully Iling 
With love,

Ms. Lab

Your $200 fish. We went to mammoth and all week we couldn't snag a fish. You asked me, "Can we get a boat?" So we rented a pontoon for $200 and finally you caught one. It wasn't enough for dinner so we went to Vons and bought 4 more fish to eat with the one you caught. Lol.

We had so much fun this night at the Anuhea concert..what a night lol 
Miss you my friend
