The Mind of the Melancholeric Man: Musings on Life and Ministry by Patrick Tan
'Da King' is Dead
It was a silent yet shocking news. FPJ is dead. The King of Philippine action movies loses to his final battle with sudden stroke. When he was in intensive care somehow I figured that there's a possibility that he will not make it. Even at this early stage in intensive care, the media is already swarming about the issue - as if he is already dead. Infomercial here and there. I hope that wasn't the factor that cut through FPJ's last breaths.
I was listening to news in the car this afternoon and still the main news for the day was FPJ. There was one incident where some of FPJ's supporters during election destroyed the flowers sent by the administration. I laughed when someone remarked from FPJ's camp (an old woman) saying that it was PGMA's fault why FPJ died and they will take revenge.. I mean, the man died on natural cause. Why blame it to the president.
FPJ's impact to Philippine society is undoubtedly huge. The defender of the poor, the oppressed. Fighting with super quick punches and miraculously misses gunshots, now is put to rest.

Today I woke up from a very angry text from my project manager. I'm delayed of work. I was supposed to give it last night, but after she bid to sleep, I did also. I still haven't regained my lack of sleep from last week. Last week was one of the busiest week of the year. I juggled between school, work and ministry.. I preached that Sunday, and by the grace of God it went well.
Last week I went to two Christmas parties. One was our church's Christmas party and the other was our young people's Christmas party. Of course, the youth Christmas party rocked.
Today, one of my short-term goals had come to pass. I got a new laptop. I've been hoping and confessing it for months, that I will buy one. I got an ASUS A2 laptop that almost performs like my desktop PC. I bought it because I'm a very mobile person. I also had DSL just last week. That was because, we needed a phone line and before when I get online, the phone line is always busy. My dad needs it for business.
