Yesterday I read the news about this kid from UPLB who passed away a couple of days ago due to hazing. I felt sad that up until now there are still people who advocate intense form of welcoming neophytes into their so-called brotherhood. This kid happens to be our brod in our academic org. My brods and sisses are saying he is a vibrant kid who contributes well in our org.
Not one member of our org knew he was joining this fraternity. This fact of course raised a few eyebrows. One brod said we ought to look out for the welfare of one another. Now is certainly not the time to point a finger at one another. This is one of those times when silence and prayers will go a long, long way. The loss of a friend is like a loss of the limb. No amount of words can provide comfort perhaps. But even if we are unable to say something nice let’s just be there and say a prayer for the family and friends of the passerby.
In the world we live in, we all make choices. Whatever we choose we can’t blame others for the repercussions. Life is short so we better make the most of it. In this world we are all passersby, no matter how long we reside here let’s make it a point that we make a difference in other people’s lives. It is not always about the length of time but how we’ve lived our lives that counts.

nasa news na naman ang UPLB! natatawa na nga lang kami, nababalita parati ang LB pag may rape or may hazing or may namatay. badtrip. onga ka-org mo yung biktima...ininterview nga yung mga taga-JES sa CEM kagabi sa news...yung mga babae nag-iiyakan. Another wasted life, for what? for that nonesense bullshit they call brotherhood. di ko talaga magets, tsk, tsk.
nakakapanghinayang, nakakalungkot, nakakainis, ngunit hindi na ito nakakabigla dahil ilang beses na itong nangyari. ako rin di ko gets. di ko gets kung bakit kelangan mangyari ang mga ganitong bagay sa buhay ng isang nilalang sa ngalan ng kapatiran.
