My uncle deserves another life

Last night, I got a text message that shook my world. My sister and dad informed me that my uncle was ambushed and was killed in the Philippines. My uncle is a doctor and owns a hospital. The motive of the crime is still yet unknown but we have a sketchy hypothesis of who the culprit was. I can only write up to here until further investigations materialize. So my duty last night was to inform my 2 other uncles who are doctors themselves in Indiana and Pennsylvania to pass on the message to other relatives here in the US. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but of course every family member deserves to know.

My uncle had lived a righteous life. He is a good man. He was able to make good money and still have his conscience. The problem is with the envious people around him. This is one situation that gave me more reasons to just stay here in the US for good.

We came from a poor family. My grandparents started off as peasants but intelligence runs in our blood. Why is it so hard for other people to understand that even when you succeed, you can still have a good heart.

Spring Semester Just Concluded

Alas! I will have a 10 day break of the late night-cramming, writing and all that crap. Not too long though, coz summer school starts on the 22nd and ends in August which is also the start of Fall 2006. Tired. Sorry for whingeing out too much. Well for my 3 challenging classes this semester: Pharmacology, Microbiology and Microbiology lab, I nailed them all to A's. Nothing is impossible when you believe. I just love learning and competing. Take it from me: Life is a race-- it's up to you if you want to sink or swim. And tomorrow, I'll be going to Karaoke with co-workers. I'm so excited! (words coming from a school hermit.)
