last month

we're still just about to say goodbye to 2009
and time the magazine already calls it

the decade from hell.
can't blame time though

although sometimes i wish i could.

2009 was just full of sad stuff

ka rene was murdered
swine flu was everywhere
ondoy was too much
pepeng overstayed

and it was the dalai lama himself
who said learn to forgive
but also never forget.

but it's just so hard to remember. we tried
having holidays but still we fail to remember

at least most of the time.
and so i raise the question i first asked four years ago:

how do i make
myself realize without making
myself realize that i'm making
myself realize


for now, aside from http://TED.com
there's http://bigthink.com
