A time for mourning

My neighbor's daughter who suffered from hydrocephalus for over a year after she was born died the other day. The irony of it was that the mother gave birth to another child while she was rushed to the hospital and was admitted in the ICU. Though it was already anticipated that it will soon come to pass away, I felt it was still painful. For a mother who carried nine months to a daughter and just right after that baby turned 1 year old passed away, it must felt so devastatingly painful and sad. I just pray that the family would soon surpass this grief and go on and move forward for the new born baby's sake.

pls stop smoking

When I returned from Manila a few months ago,I thought it was already agreed that smoking will be prohibited inside the house. I am convinced that I got my FIBROSIS from second-hand smoking. My father and my brother are really chain smokers. They could use a pack or two in just one day. I asked them if they can't stop the habit then maybe they will just have to go outside and have it there. But then sometimes they just forget about it. I fear my kids would have the same ilness as mine. I really hope not.

She could have talked about what happened with her life. The hardships she has done after she had been dethroned for awhile then got back the crown and finally compete for the title. Or maybe she could have just simply said: "I didn't commit any major major mistake in my entire life so far but if I had then I wouldn't feel regret about it because I made them while I am still young. That way I could still make ammends, cover up the mistakes and make it right. I still got a lifetime to do the right things."
That's a major way..

Philippines--in trouble again

THis is really sad for me. I kinda hate the police officers who were there. Surely there was no proper coordination. The media and the people that shouldn't be there were not dismissed. There was no concrete plan on how to manage the hostage drama that took nearly 11 hours and killed 7 chinese nationals.
The guy was heartbroken. He was a good policeman during his time. If he hadn't been, how else did he received prestigious awards of loyalty and dedication to his work and country. Only because of some hocus pocus made and filed against him and dismissed him from service without even due process made him do this. Granting that it wasn't a brilliant idea but then it could have negotiated well and good. I f he had ever had the will to kill them all, it wouldn't take him too long to do that. The drama started as early as 9o'clock in the morning. He even had the heart to let go some hostages during the day. It goes to show that he was willing to cooperate and gave in. I really think he waws only triggered by the arrest of his brother as accesory to the crime.
It ended real bad. The governement should really do something about it. And I don't agree congratulating the police. They don't deserve it.
