I have to live my life
- You have your own.
Domains apart
-Opposites
Those days we sacrificed in solitude
- I’m afraid of
In a world so little
- We’re trapped
I can’t breath
- Don’t look at me
I might die.
We learn to appreciate things only when they’re gone.
That is the sad fact, an eminent evidence of hilarious human stupidity.
I’m just so irritated by the brow-raising reactions of people for the deaths of Francis Magalona, Michael Jackson and the latest, the death of the former president Cory Aquino. My system of understanding cannot comprehend their way of thinking.
First, people should be realistic. Death is inevitable. Fame, money and power can not save you from it. No one can escape death.
Second, their deaths can not change the reality. Philippines will still remain Philippines. Rather than trapping ourselves to past memories, why don’t we focus our attention on solving the issues confronting our present, on materializing the realistic optimism of a brighter tomorrow.
Third, their lives have been spent so passionately. As what Abraham Lincoln said, “At the end, its not the years in your life that counts, it’s the life in your years. I don’t get the point of people pouring tears and showing melancholies over their graves or what I call “public display of affection for the dead”. Besides, why only when they’re already past away do these people learned to recognize them? Do these people mean they will never learn those great things about these personalities without them reaching their deaths?

Hindi naman sa excited na akong mamatay. Gusto ko lang pag-isipan kung ano ang mga ala-alang maiiwan ko sa mga tao kapag ako’y tuluyan nang nawala.
Siguro, ganito nila ako maaalala:
Ø Yung taong yun? Autistic ata siya. May sarili kasing mundo eh. Hindi siya mahilig sumunod sa trend. Madalas din siyang sumasalungat sa dominanteng opinyon ng karamihan. Kahit na walang nakikinig at pumapansin sa kanya o di naman kaya’y minamata at pinupuna ng mga tao ang personalidad niya, ginagawa pa rin niya ang mga bagay na ayon sa kanyang lohika ay mas makabubuti.
