Dying Young, Dying Old and the Sorrow It Leaves Behind

Famous personalities here in the Philippines and the heart wrenching loss has been the main news headlines for the pass weeks now. After Actor Fernando Poe Jr, 65, succumb to death last Tuesday (news) another tragedy struck and this time it was the Speaker of the House's daughter, Kristina Casimira "KC" de Venecia , 16 year old, who died due to fire and suffocation inside their house. That is really really so sad. Losing a daughter a week before Christmas. The pain loved ones must be going through losing most precious and treasured part of their lives.

The Philippines right now is suffering from spate of tragedies and sufferings. Not only well known people but the many Filipinos who've been under the mercy of the typhoons that struck the country a few weeks back. It seems it's been only bad news, sad news, grim news thats been invading the papers and the televisions and radios everyday. And to think this is the season to be merry. But how can one rise above these sorrows that has befell us?

One needs to go on living despite woefulness state te nation's been dealing with for weeks now. Anne Frank once said " Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around and be happy. And whoever's happy will make others happy too"

I hope to see goodnews once more. It's rarely happens now but it will lift the spirits up.
