#PrayForAldaEvanTan

I've known Alda since Youth 09.That was the first time i ever met him and he was playing an acoustic show with Car Crash Hearts.I've met him possibly 2-3 more times at different gigs but as i got busier with college,i didn't have the time to go to as much gigs anymore but Alda nevertheless still invites me and always says that he hopes to see me there and basically being a big bro to me whenever i asked his advice on different matters.He was the one who gave me my confidence in my photography,i don't think he knows this but he was the first ever musician who used a picture i took of him as his facebook profile picture although i had just started taking pictures with a dslr about less than 3 months before that and for that,i'll be always grateful that he thought my picture was good enough.I never knew that 3 years later that i would be writing this blog post asking you guys to please pray for him no matter what God or higher power you believe in.Yesterday morning,i woke up in shock when the first tweet i saw on twitter was JD (Pop Shuvit) tweeting that Alda was in surgery due to a burst capillary in his brain and was in a coma however today,Alda's sister has confirmed that the condition is something else,please read here.Alda is a good guy and what happened to him has not only come as a shock to me but also to all of friends and his family as well.He is currently doing better according to his sister's blog but prayers help so i urge all of you who stumble upon this post,even if you do not know him,please please please send out a prayer for him.i believe in miracles.
