another day..

today was kinda happening.. with good things and bad news.. hmm.. let's talk about the good ones first..

yar.. shujun's back from australia! but leaving tomorrow night.. haha.. went to meet her and rosanne in town after work.. =) i think she's one of the luckier people i've known.. able to study abroad with full support from parents.. sigh.. how i wish i could be like that too.. oh well.. took neoprints (the last time i took was like ages ago..) and went home.. haha.. because i wanted to catch MANHUNT!! haha.. managed to get a necklace for my thai friend too, and i would need the help of tingting to pass it to her during her holiday in thailand.. hehe.. hope that she would like it.. =)

and now the bad one.. keep hearing people getting hospitalised, dying.. and i just got the news today that ryan's (the one in philippines) mum has passed away last month.. it's a sad thing to hear it, especially when it was from his friend, temogen..

he has been very strong.. he was trying very hard to earn and save money for his mum's medical fees.. yet perhaps lady luck wasn't on his side.. he lost his job as a teacher in january, unable to find another job.. only depends on teaching dance to earn maybe a wee bit of allowance.. and he has a family to take care of.. and he was the one who encouraged me to keep on smiling..

i was speechless for a moment.. i wished that i could help him in one way or another, i wished that i could be there in philippines right now.. to be by a dear friend's side, encouraging him.. just like the way he used to encourage me.. but the only thing i could do is.. to send messages to him every now and then.. hoping that he would cheer up..

i guess he won't be seeing this.. but i really hope that he could get over the loss of someone close to him, continue to lead his life as he would, continue to be strong and keep on smiling.. and i know he will, and he can.. =)

at least i know now that he's alright, and found his love.. =) i'm happy for him.. hope that he's smiling right now..
