Goodbye Mr. M

               It is a lost to the music industry - the death of one great artist, Francis Magalona. The great rapper of the 90’s and still a great musician to his last stay. Everyone grieved of his lost, everyone felt his worth, his contributions, and the difference he made in the music world. All who loved him and admired him now bear in their hearts the music he created, hoping this to linger throughout one’s existence. I am one of those many who were confounded of his death, I didn’t had the control to held back my tears, for he was such a great talent yet died so young. I am one of those admirers of his music, though I am not into “rap”, I do recognize the message of his songs and that what makes him outstanding. I don’t need to elaborate more his existence that changed multitude lives the response of the public alone can justify it all.

                To a great artist … so long! You’ll be remembered …

May God be with you.

I was on my way home, a usual Monday afternoon after work, but this particular afternoon I was made to think of things that is happening around me. There have been multiple experiences that I had when riding a jeepney, yet I just surpassed these situations without totally submerging the lessons and warnings that it gave. This afternoon marks a difference.

 

                I was hurrying to get a seat on a jeepney (or else I’ll stay long waiting for my chance to have one), people are chasing jeepneys in areas that are not allowed to load passengers, obviously they want to get home early coz every single second counts. This is a typical scenario every afternoon. There I found a seat beside a woman drinking soda, maybe she’s so thirsty coz she sipped the soda in just one gulp. I paid less attention to this woman, for there are lot other personal things I need to think of, then I don’t know what exactly my reaction when I saw that woman threw her emptied plastic soda just right beside my shoulder to the open road. I stared at her, though maybe she didn’t notice it, I want to jerk at her and remind her that she is to spare the surroundings from dirt and not add on it. Make her realized that what she had done could create a big impact to the environment that we are trying so hard to save. I want to bring her wits to work, and start practicing to think of living someday on a green earth. Then I stop, why did I react that much? could I actually do that to her? to reprimand? could i? I was torn I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t know what makes me think that way. Why I am being so concern this time? Why should I care to correct things that I know will not happened if they themselves will not do anything.  I guess the only thing that i can do and help is to constantly remind myself not to be like the woman that i happened to sit beside a jeepney.
