ate pauline and roots

on friday afternoon, i received a sad, sad news. a college friend of mine was hit by a vehicle (i don't know what kind) and died. ate pauline was one of my isaw buddies in UP. we hit right on at a time when she was having a hard time with her chemistry classes. it was sad that a mother of three had to die, and to die at such a young age this way. i feel for her family and friends. all i could think about were the good memories we had. i'm just thankful that i had those at least. ate pauline, wherever you are right now, know that i am thankful for your friendship. i hope and pray for your soul to be at peace with the creator. the earth lost another good soul.

saturday. walked around the neighborhood with mae and karina. brunch at ihop. mall. relax at home. bike. dinner of dinuguan.

now it's sunday. we are at the second dvd of the roots - a very intense movie on the african slavery. it follows the life of an african boy kunta kinte from africa to america, through generations. i am saddened by how people treated and are still treating other people. we are all humans and we should all treat and be treated as such. it's just sad that some people can be so cruel. i don't want to say more. i will just continue watching...and hopefully learn more and eventually do my part in making this world a better place to live in for others instead of making it harder for others to live in it. peace!

(god, i can't remember his name. i remember he works at the ateneo de manila university). we exchanged cellphone numbers in the chatroom and there started our friendship. i lost communication with the one whose name i can't remember but nath and i never lost communication, either through text messages or friendster messages. there is ...

february 15. childhood imagination - this is a factory of ajinomoto at the nlex. dwarfs go into this giant ajinomoto at midnight, when there are no people around, to get the ajinomoto that we buy from stores. LOL! this is actually the new shape already. my childhood imagination was with the old shape.

happy new year

happy new year!!! i’ve been meaning to post since before the new year. however, there was so much traffic in accessing the internet maybe because of the many people who update their profiles and/or send their holiday greetings. plus, i had to delete many spam comments in my friendster blog site. i don’t really understand why they are there and they just keep on piling everyday. anyway, because it’s a new year, i will have a new year’s resolution. this is the 2nd year of posting my new year’s resolution. just read on my previous posts because i have mentioned this quite a few times and i even evaluated myself if i was true to the promise, hehehe. and i plan to continue doing it even if 2008 has passed. so for this year, i resolve to save. i have been working for almost 9 years now and i haven’t saved any penny. i have a bank account and all but there’s really nothing in it. i resolve to start doing this this year because i just thought that i am not getting any younger and i am n...
