[a fren] says: help me see this photo
[a fren] says: and tell me wat is this gal's name
[a fren] says: she is on my right side in the photo. i bumped into her yday, and i can't remember her name.

This was my HRC convocation in 2004. 3 years on, and a typical conversation like that comes by. Do we really have no heart? Only 3 years, and we can't remember the names of some of the people whom we had studied with for 2 years.

Humans, really have some memories that we cannot forget, while we also have those that we cannot remember. We are just that interesting creatures. We are given the capability to remember, to feel, to experience, but sometimes, we just don't harness that capability.

I can't even remember things that are so dear to me at one point in time. Yet, it is something that I know I must do...especially things that I am to give thanks to God for. Gratefulness, is something very important. It brings everything back to perspective. It brings me back to knowing who I am, the rights I have as a human being, and who gave me this rights, who gave me this life, who gave me these opportunities in life..

It is a simple concept, but not a simple feat to keep doing it.

Just like this short conversation on people, our memories, if we didn't dwell a little more on it, then we would not be appreciative of the times we had together. That in the years of 2002 - 2004, our paths crossed, and that is something to be thankful for.
