Desaparecidos

"The disappeared cannot cry out for justice..
it is the duty of the living to do so for them"

Since 2001 there are over more than 800 who have disappeared, forcefully abducted, allegedly killed, detained and tortured almost all have yet to be found..

There are over a hundred political prisoners in jail, and detainees continue to be tortured and miss treated during interrogations.The security forces have been responsible for a number of forced "disappearances" and extra-judicial executions, while private security forces and unidentified armed men have responsible for the killings and harassment of civilians in the context of land disputes.

Bon Voyage Kane


It was heartbreaking. Emotionally heartbreaking, definitely one that will probably last forever. How can it not be? You were my best friend. It's even sadder to say that in 'past tense'. I am not even sure until when will I be able to grasp the fact that you were really already gone,  gone too soon but surely not in my heart and soul.
Our friendship was certainly one that would be for the keeps. I am so grateful for the moments that we have spent together. Honestly even to this moment, I am still wondering how we even became friends when you're so pretty and popular while I look like a couch potato. Thankfully you're one oddball, and so am I. We're like two peas in a pod, guess that's why we really became friends in the first place, for some reason it seems like there are things that only we can understand and that other people might find bizarre.

To tell the truth, I really don't know how will I live without feeling a certain amount of guilt. I kept asking myself, " Why? Why did it happen? Am I partly to blame for this? How did I miss the sign? Would I be able to save you if only I was able to figure it out early on? If I at least was there, will I be able to prevent you from doing what you did? How can I be oblivious to your struggles?  Was your first attempt already a cry for help? Was I really blinded or were you just too good at pretending?" Too many questions, left unanswered.


 I am going to especially miss our exchanged letters during our in-between classes, so oooooold school. I wonder what it would be like if she were still here, would our inbox will explode with our messages with each other? Probably. It's just nice to imagine that, even though I know it would be impossible. Do you know those letters by the way? well, I still have them, It's one of my most treasured letters.

I can really describe Kane as like my vitamin, or maybe that's what we both are actually for each other. I hated the fact that some people have a lot of opinions of what happened( see I am not even sure how to address it). Probably s because that may be what you think will be the best for you during that time when you're struggling. I am just so heartbroken because I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for you.
 
I miss you Kane, I will always think of you, wherever you are, I only wish you happiness. 
Thank you for everything. Thank you for the friendship even though it was short-lived.


"it's not about me no longer having you in my life, its about me feeling guilty that i didn't know you were suffering."

"why do I have to be so sad"

      

I feel like I'm upside down. Smiling, pretending I am happy to avoid questions. I just feel bad that I am already sad and then there are these people who randomly doing some annoying stuff like they need some attention when I’m not even in the mood to talk to anybody. I don’t mean like I want them to understand me, I just want to have quiet time for myself.

But have you ever had that feeling where in you constantly detaching yourself from everybody and you are not telling anyone that you are having a bad day(to avoid questions), yet a part of you still hopes that somehow there would be just even ONE person who would ask you “how are you? How are you feeling, emotionally?” and that when someone asked you that it would make you feel okay all of a sudden, with just one person and that would be enough.

"Charie Rivera"



         

            


             I was actually planning to blog sometime last year, apparently due to my busy schedule or I guess since I couldn't find the courage yet I use the reason that I was only able to find the time to write only now, It’s been less than a year now since Mam’Cha died. She was my former teacher when I was in high school.
I remember, she was one of my favorite subject teachers when I was in High school, well actually all of my English teachers were my favorites, simply because it was kind of my favorite subject next to AP. One of the reason I am always enthralled about her is that she’s really a kind-hearted teacher. She’s really the kind of  person that really cares genuinely. I could really attest to that because I’ve seen it.

I find it strange though because  before we knew about her passing, 2 days prior to that I dreamt of her, I don’t even know why, I was a bit confused and a bit flustered actually since it has been years since I have last seen her, I find it really strange. It was a happy dream though, it’s like she’s bidding her goodbye, so I was also a bit teary-eyed on my dream. Then, las I've mention 2 days after that I received the news about her passing
