Detour: E-Heads Ahead

07 MARCH 2009, 11:55 P.M., Saturday

I wonder what song is being played by Eraserheads at this very hour... Kaliwete? Magazine? Minsan? Ang Huling El Bimbo? waaaaaa bad3p naman, I wasn't able to catch the Final Set... Sayang talga... Wala kc kong sponsor ng tiket... Worse, ang mga kasama ko ay wala ring tiket... Worst, wala akong PERA... tskk pulube kaming lahat??? O sobrang kuripot lang cla at ayaw akong ilibre??? --"Mahal ng tiket baka maulit yung dati sayang lang..." "Mapapanood din naman natin sa tv yan, let's be practical, bakit pa tayo bibili ng ganun kamahal na tiket..."

The cheapest ticket is worth P400.00, that is probably 400 meters away from the stage... They assured though that the miniatures of Ely, Raymund, Marcus and Buddy will still be seen from that spot... I can afford only one ticket... The problem is I can't go alone by myself... and that settles it...

As of yesterday, my decision has become final (and executory)...

"I'm not going to the gig..."

So, from Tindahan ni Aleng Nena, I instead went Overdrive and have some Trip to Jerusalem until I reached the Alapaap...

Seamless Na!!!

I'm one of those who mourn to master rapper's demise not only because I sympathize my love Maxene for her grief, neither am I a rapper myself nor I support rap music, but also because Kiko's death is heck a cruel one...

To die from such a ruthless illness is like jumping from a plane unequipped with parachute... walang kalaban-laban... But unlike the latter, a person diagnosed with malignant disease is bound to suffer the complications months or even years before the angel of death comes in... It's kind of unfair... because that person will eventually die... It's only that fate wants to prolong his agony... But nonetheless, who am I to question God's will??

My point is, I am not ready to die the same way Kiko did...

I'm not an advocate of the so-called euthanasia... this is completely a different thing... Nobody can assume that one is going to die because his illness has no cure blah blah... I still believe in miracle, if not, coincidence... So much so that no one has the authority to take away life... Just don't put into oblivion the fact that HE is the Omega...

Miracle may not be apparent in Kiko's case but I'm pretty sure that a message from above is incorporated in his death... I sensed it... I knew it... Unless you don't hear Kiko shouting....
