As I was on my way back here in Davao this morning after spending my weekend back home (which, is, by the way, a must in the family if I don't want to face my father's wrath), news about the bombings in Cotabato and Bansalan was repeated for a couple of times on tv (inside the bus). Having seen the news for the nth time, of course, I was nervous, fidgeting, and scared to death. Well, I knew 'bout the bombings before I enter the bus but the fact that I don't have a clue wether there's a bomb in the bus, how can I not be scared? Anyway, while having mixed emotions over it, I came to realize significant things in my life and started asking myself, what if there's a bomb in the bus? (thank GOd there was none during my trip)

We are all aware that no one really knows the future [except GOD, of course]. If you really have such an awareness, can you say that you have lived your life to the fullest? Have you been a good person? Have you learned from your mistakes and used such learnings to be a better person?

There were a lot more questions that occured to me but these were the questions I was pondering over during the trip I had this morning, a trip that has been like a nightmare, the worst thing is that I was awake.
