Yes, Pare....this is the month in which we called here in Europe "Depressive month". I am looking forward to enjoy our humid weather...I hate this physical stress "day and night" always perspiring  but,  it is more better than hailstones and typhoon or whatever,right?

How are you? Hope you are doing fine so with your Family?

@ Bambi,

Pare, the weather back home is extremely chilly--yet beautiful. There is a solemn beauty about it, the coming of Christmas and the birth of Christ comes again. The separation of old and new, and the divide between the past and the present. In this Cold November.
I am excited for you as you will be going back to the warmth and beauty of the Philippines again, take extra pictures for us, ok? 
As for myself, im trying to get ready to go back to college (im driving back to campus tomorrow morning), trying to be strong as I know that my friends back in campus will need someone strong to comfort them in our time of grief. Many of my friends are bereaved severely by this sudden loss; a loss of any loved one is devastating, more so one who is so close to us. Right now, we are trying to stay strong--and trying to keep our priorities in focus, mostly academics and emotional solidarity. Rob wasn't the type who moped along and whined about his problems, he was one who liked to solve it immediately, and I know that if he were still right now--he would have told me and my friends to "stop crying, suck it up, dry your tears, clear your throat, and move on with your days".
You know i have shown my deep emotions in here, in Tubag Bohol, than in person. I normally do not show my sensitivities as openly--as I do hide in a veneer of male machisimo, typical of Filipino men. However, it feels good to release my emotions in here--it has been extremely helpful in the grieving process. I cannot begin to express how thankful I am to have been able to release my inner feelings in here.

@ orChids,
What a wonderful picture...Nagano, Japan is so peaceful in winter.

Hello Pare,

I feel a bit relieve reading your message. The November weather is too dark, the sorroundings are gray and  it was really a depressive days too- reading that 11 years old girl who killed herself because of poverty as what first reported after that findings that she was sexually abused. Another Pinay lady who also committed suicide in U S.  And then another sad incident, Rob your young good looking close friend. What a waste of a just started life? Whatever the reasons maybe and why?..it will remain unanswered. We have several incidents here and they are not the last ones who are courageous enough to end life through unexplained reasons. I knew few who ended in this tragic way and they were still in the midst of 30. Life is a fight and we must have to find a way to make it easier in some other ways. God is watching us! Your prayers will be heard to ease your pains and sorrows.  Just look forward and turn around..you have good Family and  living friends who needs you. The dead ones remains always alive in our hearts and memories which makes them immortal. For it is that love towards them keep us going on living with their presence in our aura, it is mystic. Take care dear Pare....i know you can do the best out of it for you are more than as brillant.

I will not promise to take some photos on that EB...i think everyone will be having cameras.

Bayat the first time i read about that 11 yr old suicide story i alrady knew the reason, and i didnt buy the parent's story because there is no such an 11 year old who would think about  poverty, their brain is not ready rot that according to my Psych 101. My first impression after reading it was-the parents would be the number 1 suspect, and i hated to say that some journalist (if that was a journalist who wrote it) believed the paents' blaming their poverty. It was full of baloney. Now I'm raged!

Anyhow, i have no complain about our 4 seasons i always love it and looking forward to feel it,i have always loved and aprreciated what our nature brings. I love the scent of the cold winter.
