THIS JUST IN: TEENS ARRESTED IN DEATH OF HOMELESS MAN (story at http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&e=1&u=/ap/brf_homeless_killing)

sometimes i wonder: why do i even bother getting out of bed? the world has gone to shit anyway.

i've been spending alot of time with the kids lately, it's good for the heart. i laugh alot more when i'm with them. not because they're so innocent...in fact, these kids know alot more than i did when i was their age...but they're more candid. and the fact that they're so candid and honest makes me try as hard as hell to make sure that i'm at my very best because there' just no fooling them. they're just like adults, but with a better sense of humor.

no one lives forever, we all know that. we know that at some point, death happens, to everyone. and yet, we're still so surprised when it happens. whether it's to ourselves or to someone that we know.

last week, a tito passed away suddenly. last thursday, a lolo died...not so suddenly. and yet, it's still not a surprise. and all the same, all so sudden.

rest in peace, lolo rene and tito frank.

as my manong said, we'll all be together again.

i wanna be a kid again.
