I'll Always Remember
This is a personal post.
Ten years ago today, (August 26, 2011), I lost my brother to cancer. I was very young at the time it happened, but I can still remember that day.
No one really told me that he died. When my sister was supposed to, I knew it was hard for her to say those words. I just told her, "I know." I remembered she cried so hard and I just stood there.
It's been ten years. Things are very different. I'm in college and my sister's getting married in less than a month. My mind wonders what would it have been like if my brother was still alive.
But most of all, that experienced brought me a realization about how hard it is to stay strong in the face on cancer. My brother sometimes would tell me that he couldn't take it anymore and he just wanted for it to stop. But after realizing what he said, he would take it back and say that he needed to stay strong because he knew that he could beat cancer. He would not let it eat his whole life.
I remember he even went to a school dance even with his condition. He never let his life be defined but his cancer but by who he was, the athlete, the joker, the usual gamer/teenager.
A decade ago, I lost my brother to cancer. I pray for all those people who are fighting it. Keep strong and remember that you're not alone in your endeavor!
Harry Potter changed my life.
People really take advantage of a lot of things...
If any of you reading this is from De La Salle University then you will know what I am talking about...
Right now I am very pissed at something/someone/some people. I know maybe I am judging them/it but I am feeling I am in the right...
It's just how they/it took advantage of certain current events that they want to boost their popularity. From my point of view, you aren't helping anyone at all and you're certainly making yourself a target of bad reps from those above.
Do yourself a favor and just don't act like you're too important when the people are what's truly important. Everyone is doing something for everyone else. And maybe the reason why the people you are fighting are taking their time is because they have a lot to loose.
Do yourself a favor and quit being such an ass about things. You're not making yourself look good, you aren't making your rival look any less and you are certainly not helping the people.
I am neither for you or against you but geez, enough is enough already. What are you the public's voice. The people have voiced out their concern already and they don't need you riding on it, showing off like you are some sort of hero.
Just stop it. You're not helping at all.
The weirdest account in my life...
I was in De La Salle University, Andrew Building earlier, having my History class. My professor, who I will argue is older than my parents, was talking about how the Philippines isn't progressing because it is a buyer of products and not a producer of exports.
Suddenly, out of the blue, I saw a white plastic bag floating in mid air. I know this may not necessarily be a very fascinating thing, but I was in the 10th floor of the building, a building with very high ceiling I may add.
I mean, if I would describe it, the white plastic bag was flying. Dragged around by the breeze and even went across the Enrique building which is only 10 floors. I mean it was flying. Having no care whatsoever and just letting the wind push itself in the right direction.
I couldn't take my eyes off it. (Arguably, it was only about 20 seconds that the plastic flew in front of the window.) But it was at the exact same time, that my History professor was stating that it was about time that the Philippines soared to new heights.
Analogy, the Philippines was that plastic bag and it flew not by itself but with the help of the wind. If the Philippines is the bag, what is the wind? A question that I will not answer but let you, the reader, answer for yourself.
