friend of mine passed away and the 7th day is today. which also happens to be my birthday.
and today, as i rush back to my office after spending some time with my saddened friends, i had a brush with mortality as well. it was raining, i was at peninsular plaza, crossing the road on the zebra crossing to get to the other building. the dumb car was stationary, but somehow, just somehow -
the MAN driver lost his grip on the brake or something and the car rushed forward at me. fortunately (praise The Lord!) the brakes were applied in time before any real damage was done -
i've never sworn so much in two sms-es. not that i swear a great deal, but to have me spew three swearwords in one message... well, i must've been shaken. and it won't be my own fault. i hate it when it's not my fault. because then it isn't of my doing, and probably therefore not my choice.
fuck.

death and healing
some time ago i've decided to head to australia. plans have been smooth, things are going well and i see God's fingerprints all over my progress. so far, so good.
it will get even better!
so far i've been praying for the gift of healing... there is a dear uncle i want to heal so, so much. as well as my cousin who cannot raise her feet, as well as an entire family of extended family (if i may put it that way) whose backs i'd like to heal. and there are many, many, many other people out there who can use a healing or three.
meanwhile, i find myself being broke. a friend of mine passed away and... it was tragic. his death was still fresh, happened only last week, friday. i don't know him very well but from what i know he's a pleasant chap. i was there before the funeral, at the funeral, through to the cremation.
i'm there for my friends. they are the ones who need additional company i suppose, and i'm pretty close to them that i'd want to do this for them, with them. and i'm glad i gave them my time, it was the only thing i could do for them in that situation.
guys, please take good care of yourselves. look left and right before you cross the roads. see a doctor if you're depressed. if you're cutting yourself you NEED TO LET SOMEONE KNOW. talk to me. us. we'll help, because we're friends, right?
i know you'll do the same for me. and you'll cry if i were to leave, as i will cry when you leave. stay with me awhile, please, on the living side of it.
and this is also why i wish to heal. stay well please, people. it means a lot to me that you do.
it will get even better!
