my laptop has not lived. :( he died seven days ago, and he died in my arms. no words can equal the amount of sadness i felt the last seven days, but i should learn how to let go.

i should not consume myself with petty things, as if i can live long enough to see drastic changes of his world. my ancestors had not seen a laptop, but they had lovely portraits hanged in the wall and treasured photographs carefully posted upon old albums, letters kept in wooden treasure box, their music still being enjoyed until now (my mom kept the old music box of my lolo)... and something tells me that they lived a happy full life. a life of no additional or sideline dramas. hahahah

i now accept my laptop's early demise.

my mom is learning how to chat! she is currently trying her best to be in tune to the ways of the new world that she insisted on having an email and a friendster. gawd! i certainly do not want her on friendster! hay naku, i can just imagine her constant rantings... but i love it when i am chatting with my mother. she is the cutest... always amazed by her little discoveries and her persuassion to know new things. she has been doing a great job!

its 6 years since the September 11 bombing; and six years since airport tightened their security measures, uncertainties of racism, damaging of growth in Iraq, flooding of troops, war and death, matters of retribution, virtues of freedom and religion... a sad memory relives today, but may we redefine peace and abandon our fears. let us pray for the lives lost and for a continued healing of a once bruised nation.

peace is not something you wish for; its something you make, something you do, something you are and something you give away. - john lennon
