Today is another day...

Something died within me last night as I watched the news. I did not know that there was a crisis going on at the very moment my friends and I were hoping to let this group of people say yes to a project proposal. In their terminology, personal development; in our lingo, children casting starfishes into the ocean.

There was nothing I could do to change what went down in history today, but I can do something about tomorrow. When people think that there is no more hope for a country such as ours, I shrug and say, "Of course not. There still is hope." One step at a time, one tiny fragile starfish at a time back into the ocean.

Today is another day... We can still make a difference. Yesterday's events opened our eyes to the reality of hatred and anger... Let that renew our faith in humanity that for every ounce of hatred, we douse it with liters and liters of love.. For every drop of anger, let's douse it with gallons upon gallons of peace.

Today is another day...

Ang daming dahilan,
Isa lang naman ang pinatunguhan...

Tama ba?
Ang sagot lang ba ay kamatayan?

Sino ang biktima?
Sino ang nambiktima?

Kailan matatapos ang turuan?
Ilang buhay pa ang kailangan tuldukan?

Ang daming dahilan,
Isa lang naman ang pinatunguhan...

Kamatayan..
