Hello. I'm still here.
I've been doing a lot of thinking today. This is after my biological mother told me in an awful way that my new haircut is really ugly. That's not really a surprise since she is always like that to all people and how she blurts out nasty comments. I said to myself, "she could have said that in a nicer way and I would have listened."
Then I realized, I have been a jerk to my father too when I told him how stupid his idea is of buying an old car. I think it's high time that I really shut up.

Last night, I also realized that I really should not be texting while driving. And it just sank in me last night that it is really dangerous. I'm not really afraid of dying in a car crash. I even believe that it is a cool way of dying rather than dying of cancer or any disease. It's fast and easy not like diseases that are slow and painful. What I am really afraid of is running over somebody which means that, here in the Philippines, that would mean headaches and migraines for the rest of your life. And think about the humiliation you're going to get from these horrible media that does not respect your right and the police who are trigger happy.

Also today, I thought of the age long saying, "Money doesn't buy you happiness." I guess this saying only applies to people who have money. My family has been justifying money for the longest time. But I don't. I still feel strongly for values like freedom, friendship and love.
I guess only a few people would understand this. That money is never a substitute for freedom or anything else. That's why I would always fight for freedom. People who are free take their freedom for granted. Money would never buy you happiness. I assure you that.
