value your life

life is not something permanent.. it could be gone in an instant.

late last night, i've received an sms from a friend back in highschool.. i've maintained my communication with them and glad that we could catch up with each other every once in a while.. though at busy times, i often refuse on meetings and get together/s. so.. last night.. i was still at in the office preparing on going home, when i received the message. i didnt reply on it since im in a hurry to ride a cab. until i went to bed.. slept.. and forgot all about it. early this morning, like every morning.. first thing i reach for when i wake up is my phone.. see what time is it.. and check if there are messages. then i saw that SMS.. read what it says.. "cris, have you heard about Bardos? schoolmate natin in highschool?" i got curious and replied.. why, what's with him? thinking that maybe it was another case of "gf's pregnant.. got married.." thing. but the reply i received says he died.. ulcer. waaahh.. i was shocked. the reply i sent to my highschool friend is the one i would like to share with you....


the incident just proves one thing.. it doesnt mean we're young, we're not prone to illness anymore.

got me thinking.. do we really value our lives?? have we taken care of it? are we taking care of it?
