I was shocked by a sudden news I received in my cellphone just a few minutes ago.. a day of laughter and fun (thanks to my MBA - APEX counterparts) changed into gloom as I read the text message over and over again..
... a niece of my tita in my company died this morning, due to sepsis from unwanted pregnancy.
I knew her, she was a soft-spoken pretty young girl, a nursing student... and I could only remember her smile.
It's such a tragic how young people now-a-days are so prone to death, this has already been the 3rd death I've heard over the week. The other was a friend of my brother's he died of "bangungot".
Hay, I'm saddened by the realities of life, though I don't really know the story behind nor do I truly know the people, it's just so sad that a simple mistake could end their chances of making a difference or changing for the better.
There would be power hungry people who'd surely comment that this is the main reason why abortion should be legalized or that it should not be legalized but I don't care about what they say. For me this truly reflects on how families are no longer the comfort zones of the young, how too much propaganda on what's cool or not has destroyed the basic family unit, and how we ourselves would care less until this sort of thing knocks on our doors and into our lives - when it's too late and all we can say is 'sayang'.
This clearly made me reflect on my own womanhood, how more and more women have become so tied-up looking for love. It is with our misguided feelings of emptiness that cause us to be taken forgranted by men (who are only actually acting upon their macho images). And alas these women! would think as if losing these men is the most fearful event of their lives!
Di ako nagmamalinis but hey, come on! can we please just have more respect for ourselves??!
