A Turn of Events

上個星期二，我又有機會跟娘到王彬街。除了在牙醫那邊陪著她和到永美珍買糕餅之外，我終於在新疆書店買了金庸所著的“碧血劍”！

經過一個學期的辛辛苦苦地尋覓，我怡然地把那本書買來。雖然我所拿到的不是我比較喜歡的廣州出版，可是前兩、三次到書店因為屢次地沒有售，只好勉強自己買那比較平常的武俠出版了。

自星期二至如今，我已經看完了第一到第三回。我打算把全書在第二學期開始之前看完。

It has been a long time since the barkada had gone out complete together.

Yesterday Chris planned on a group outing. I was already scheduled however to help my aunt in tutoring her students at her house so I was not able to join my friends in the afternoon.

By the time I was able to join them, it was already around six in the evening, and when I arrived, the six of them were having their third game of DoTA.

After their not-so-fruitful game we all went Downtown to eat at Wai Ying. There we told stories from our own colleges, including issues and "prominent" schoolmates.

Pity that time had to sprint too quickly. Everyone had to go home early. I'm hoping that another day such at that comes again while we are at the mercy of our semestral breaks.

Masayang naglalakad at sinusulit ng mga tao ang weekend sale sa Glorietta nang datnan nila ang isang malaking pagsabog sa nasabing mall.

Nagmula sa Luk Yuen ang matinding pagsabog na ayon sa mga pulisya ay sanhi ng isang bomba.

Sa kasalukuyan, siyam ang natalang namatay at higit isang daan ang sugatan sa nasabing pagsabog. Halos hindi magkamayaw ang mga tao kagabi sa Ospital ng Makati at Makati Medical Center na nag-aalala sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.

Ngayong nasa magulong kalagayan na ang ating bansa dahil sa mga sunud-sunod na iskandalo, nadagdagan pa ito ng isang malagim at kasindak-sindak na trahedya. Kailan pa ba maayos ang lagay ng ating lipunan at pamahalaan? O baka ang wastong dapat itanong ay...

...Bakit pa kailangang idaan sa higit na malubhang kaguluhan ang paglunas sa kaguluhan ng ating bansa? Tanging mga ulol, sakim, at hunghang lamang ang may kakayahang mag-isip nang ganitong di-tuwid na pag-iisip.
