i'm praying for those who died during the stampede to watch the variety/game show Wowowee this morning. i can't believe that happened and it also breaks my heart to know that my fellow Filipinos are that desperate to win big prizes. mahirap na talaga buhay. nakakalungkot. naiinis din ako kasi sana meron pwedeng sisihin sa nangyari. ewan ko kung sino nagkulang pero nakakalungkot pa rin. bakit kailangan mauwi na marami ang mamatay?

lets pray for those who died. suddenly all my worries (thesis and school) seemed trivial compared to what the relatives of those who died are facing right now. i want to crumble like a cookie.

tonight my friends and i are going out because we feel that we deserve this break, this sort of get together we've planned for 2 weeks (we let all the exams pass first). we planned to drink and be merry but then... pano na ngayon? parang nakaka-guilty yata magpaka-saya.

rest in peace...


Prayer for the Dead
God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in your presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen.
