the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
every time that I try I get tongue tied
all the souls that would die just to feel alive

Cory Aquino (1933-2009)
 Almost all of the blogs that I've visited since Saturday has at least one entry that is dedicated to the sad passing of this famous figure. It's inevitable. I feel like as a blogger, the mere sharing of my thoughts on cyberspace about the unfortunate loss of Mrs. Corazon Aquino is like my little way of thanking her for the legacy that she has left in all of the Filipinos. Though I wasn't born yet around the time when Cory Aquino fought against the dictatorship of Marcos's regime, the mark that she has left still remains up to this very moment. Freedom . For without her, there will be no such thing as freedom of speech to our wretched country. And with that, I pay my highest gratitude and respect the sole symbol of democracy to me and to my country. Not only did she brought freedom, but for me she also made me believe that there is still hope for our nation. Though unity is something rare in our country, former President Cory proved to me that we can still unite a divided land --- Not once but twice. For the last time, she united the rich and the poor, the old and the young, the partisan and the apathetic, the men and the women and the soldiers and the civilians. I believe not a lot of people can do that around this time of political disputes. How can I wish that this moment of grievance be a continuing path, a turning point to our relentless fight for real freedom. I may not be alive when she fought for the country, but I will sure recall the extraordinary woman in yellow, her motherly aura and her warm peaceful smile. I may not witnessed how she held herself while mourning for the death of her husband when she was still alive, but knowing tiny bits of her made me think that she did it with humbleness, faith for God, love for the country and relentless wisdom. The Filipinos did not just lost a former president. We have also lost a personification of perseverance and strength, a light bearer of freedom, a symbol of democracy, a loving mother, a faithful Christian, and a true-blooded Filipino. May you rest in peace Tita Cory, my highest respects and gratitude to you. From the generation unlucky enough to have no memories of Edsa or of your regime, but lucky enough to have known you for a good number of years. You will be forever missed. |

Vanity isn't a sin, a little narcissm wouldn't hurt. Greetings stranger! If you ever by any chance stumble upon this little world that I created myself in the vast and tangled universe of the world wide web, consider yourself warned. I am extremely well known for being enigmatic and difficult to understand. I may seem detached and incapable of revealing my innermost feelings simply because I am oftentimes unable to do so. Perhaps philosophical at times and is interested in what we called the unexplained. Consider me as a little bit of everything all rolled into one. On some days I can be social, fun loving, outgoing and creative on one hand my personality is also contrasted with being sarcastic, moody and stubborn. So while some days will be a hit and others a miss hopefully but most days, will be and should be better than others. Nonetheless, read at your own risk.In short, WELCOME to Planet Oblivion! A small planet in the blogosphere universe. Help me in my quest in finding a deeper meaning on what lies beneath this planet's surface.
