On The Dangers of Life

Death is part of life but the murder is not. I just found out that one of the uncles of my teammate was shot. The killer waited for him and shot him 5 times.

I never met her uncle. All I know that he is a politician. Does being one political figure involve risking one's life above all? Would you take that risk having the knowledge that there are people willing to kill another fellow man for whatever reason? What happened to love your neighbors? Life is truly scary.

May his soul rest in peace.

Not-So Good Events Around the Office

Around the end of April last year, this was one of the scenes outside the window...



Today, June 17, 2008... around lunch time.. as in in broad daylight...





Flash report of the incident:



news article


Good thing I was not loitering. Yesterday more or less at around 12:30 I accompanied my officemate to KFC to buy her lunch. Oh my gosh, right?

One of my officemates was at the driveway area when the shootout occurred. According to him, it was no joke. It made him think of his life. On the other hand, other people like my other officemate who are floors above the incident wanted to get the scoop and stuff. Hello, are you serious? Maybe if I she was scene she would have reacted differently.

I had my own mini share of bloody experiences. Seriously, those events were very disturbing. Promise.

To those who have love ones "sacrificed" unintentionally in situations like these, may their souls rest in peace. And to those who have been left behind, pray for their souls, and like what I said in my previous posts, make every moment count. You will never know what will happen to you. You never know that today will be your last day to drive a jeepney like you always do to go to work.
