Shocked

i have been meaning to write about a lot of things...mostly of how crazy things have been. of how most things suck right now...of how i wish people would be more forgiving or be more mindful or be more consistent...of how i hope injustice in all forms be eradicated...lots of stuff. but tonight i heard news from my orgmate that his current officemate and one of our orgmates (who is older than me but would call me "Ate" and who i know as a very jolly person)is dead. they found him dead in his home where he lives alone. they went there because he wasn't answering texts and calls since sunday.

this has put all the things i think about at a stop. death is always something that reminds me that there can be no tomorrow, or later. it is just now. here. that time is important and to whom and what we dedicate our time should be to whom and what we really want to spend time with and on.

there is no such thing as being too busy or being too stressed. we make time... we should make time for people we care about, for causes we believe in.

i really would love to write a longer piece but i have to go. i have to re-write parts of a feature.

but i'd like you to know, specially if you know who i am, that i am thankful i have met you. i may care about you. i may have loved you for a time. or i may still love you especially if you are bente, wab, ho and pol =) i may have met you while in school, at the office or through friends but i know that you have made an impact in my life that is why you know this blog even exists.

again, thank you... and carpe diem!
