Okay... So, today's Saturday. It's a languishing weekend for me unfortunately. My brother flunked the board exams again, oh well. The results were out on the internet yesterday.

There are just these things that slip off our hands, no matter how careful or hardworking, or determined we are in doing something, and we should really understand that things like that happen. Although we are free to do anything, we can't control everything that happens.

What was written above is a long way of saying shit happens.

I know what Kuya is going through right now. I can feel his sadness from every text message he sends or from every word he speaks when he calls me from the clinic. I know how badly he wanted that license. I know how hard he had worked for trying to pass those examinations.

To hell with that. Kuya will get through this. Its just a single chapter in a hundred-volume book of his life. Like I always say to him: life goes on. He still has us. He still has his girlfriend (or what's left of their relationship; they're on and off once in a while). No matter what happens, we still got his back. We're here to cheer him up in times like this. He needs us and we're here for him.

Well, shit does happen. It's just really up to us how to handle things. The point is, it happens, but not everything that happens is shit. Cheer up, it's not the end of the world.
