as i was walking home today, i saw a young boy with down-syndrome, prancing along the sidewalk, listening to his mp3 player
waving his arms in the air, shaking his hips, to the rhythm of the beat
and i thought to myself, wow.
what i would give to be free of worries, to not be self-conscious of society s judging eyes
everyone was staring, but he continued. unaware of the attention he was attracting.
i had the urge to join him haha
people often wonder why God s punishing them when their kids are born with down-syndrome, or are spastic
i wldnt say it s a punishment, sure these kids require more care than others
but in the end, it s these kids that teach you the innocence of life, the simplicity, that life never gets too complicated to handle
there s innocence in the way they speak, in the way they express themselves
these things we have forgotten
that one boy cheered me up today
for the first time that day,
i smiled.

2007

an eventful year. so much has happened. on hindsight, i would not have said it was a happy year. i dont know.

2008

started off bad. bangkok did make up for it though. had fun hanging out with the girls and guys.




somehow everything seems so be slipping away from me, out of my control.
hoping this year would be better.
