Papa Roy

A very good friend from the MEDIA died earlier today due to heart attack. I am lost for words to express how I feel. I never had a friend who died. This is the first time. And I can't seem to stop crying...

All I could really think of was how fun it was being with him, and how he listened to me during times I was feeling so low about work... and how he told me that it matters to them that it was me they're working with so they make good in all our advocacies... Oh God...

Papa Roy, we will miss you terribly... I will miss you...

Happy New Year!

The long holidays was something we all looked forward too but now that it's over, reality kinda hits hard! =) Well, work resumes and all the stresses that goes with it. Some people have resumed being their worst selves, and others retreat to being indifferent. We can only control what we do, changing does not guarantee that others will do too.

So for 2009, I expect less from others and more from myself...... the way I have done last year, and the year before that, and the year before that... ... ... without losing the nerve to fight back when needed and keep silent when it ain't worth it. =)

I feel 2009 will be as good, if not a better year for me! =) no harm wishing.....
