I just had lunch with my office mates when the news about one of the established rapper/ musician in the country past away. Francis Magalona, just died...our HR personnel told us. My initial reaction was Oh my God!, I dont' have any direct contact with Mr. Francis Magalona which may give questions like "then why the hell am I writing a blog about this?" or "Why do i even care?"...that'll be simple. I am an inquisitive person, I want to know...therefore I listen, I ask and sometimes I gossip and this one hit me on the head. I felt sad and also got affected but let skip that and I'll get to my point.
The news just made me think of the things I have done and haven't done in this life...I had a reminder again of how short life can be. He died of cancer, the worse illness we can get (this is my opinion). Cancer is the sickness that reminds us of how abusive we are to ourselves...for me it is the sickness due to excessive means. I smoke and drink because I thought it is the only way to enjoy and celebrate...6 years ago I was diagnosed with tuberculosis stage 1, good thing my parents are able to sustain and keep up with my medication...3 years ago I had an x-ray and was found that I have lung fibrosis. After that I didn't cry, I said sorry to God for not taking care of myself and also for stepping to "the dark side" and whatever happens to me may it be death due to my previous vices, I am willing to accept; because it's my fault and I don't regret what I did. The only thing I can do now is make up with the things I neglected. I will enjoy life in a positive way, maybe a lil' mischief on the side. There are a lot of things I want to do, but hell! how will I do all of these...I actually don't know as of now...but I'll do it little by little...well! baby steps! My formula in life 70% goodness 20% to procrastinate and 10% mischief!
How about you? Have you spent your life wisely?
I know I haven't but it's never too late to start.
