Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
The first thing I do when I wake up is read my tweets. The RIP AJ Perez was most prominent in my timeline. Who is AJ Perez? I found out that AJ Perez was the lone fatality of an accident in Tarlac. AJ was declared dead on arrival by a hospital in Paniqui shortly after the accident took place at 12:10 a.m due to 2 multple head injuries.

Rest in peace, Elizabeth Taylor. I will always remember Elizabeth Taylor for her violet-eyed beauty, her stormy romances and eight marriages and her Oscar-winning performances. I also like her quotable quotes that shows snippets of her life:
Not at least until I’m dead, and at the moment I’m having too much fun being alive…and I plan on staying that way.
Every breath you take today should be with someone else in mind. I love you.
That is the thing that will give back to you all the rewards that there are. Don’t do it for yourself, because then it becomes selfish.
Give. Remember always to give. That is the thing that will make you grow.
You are who you are. All you can do in this world is help others to be who they are and better themselves and those around them.
Never let yourself think beyond your means…mental, emotional or any otherwise.
Always keep love and humility in your heart.
No one is going to play Elizabeth Taylor, but Elizabeth Taylor herself.
Humor is the only way to stay alive.
Because then it becomes about yourself…which is wrong. Giving is to give to God. Helping is to help others.
You find out who your real friends are when you’re involved in a scandal.
I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
It’s not the having, it’s the getting.
Marriage is a great institution.
My mother says I didn’t open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.” – Washington Irving

I saw the news in Twitter. Angelo Reyes got shot.
“Who was Angelo Reyes?” I asked in Twitter.
The corruption charges against the General Garcia was not something I really followed because I was busy with other matters like the Reproductive health issue. Besides, one of the bloggers was going to write about it.
Twitter was then buzzing with shock and wondering what happened.
Did he feel he could no longer hold his head high, with his former underling telling the world how he (Reyes) had left the military service with millions in people’s money?

““I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.” Corazon C. Aquino
That photo above is a screen capture of me taken from the Laban ni Cory documentary. I feel honored to be part of the memorable documentary. I had no idea that video was taken until someone told me. It looks like I was reflecting as I ventured out on my first attempts of citizen journalism.
Through all the combined 15 hours of coverage during your funeral procession, this has got to be the greatest outpouring of love that I have witnessed in all 52 years of my life.
I will not forget the people who sacrificed their lives for democracy.
I will make sure that my readers are aware of the implications of the Constituent Assembly before the 2010 elections, and that we should oppose Charter Change perpetuating President Arroyo and her allies in power.I will continue with the fight, to help maintain our democracy.
