It was one year ago today that my friend Nhurzy passed away. She was a victim of a drive-by shooting; both she and her father were shot as they were making their way to a pharmacy. I have not come to terms with her death; I still feel that she's there somewhere, making a fantastic ruckus, cracking taboo jokes, hoping for a better future. Her blogsite will be forever locked.

We're HERE WITHOUT YOU.

I'm NOT A QUITTER

Everyone tells me to quit smoking.

Maggie*: "Why do you hate yourself? Don't do this."

Ingrid*: "It's NOT gonna help you lose weight."

My boss: "Try the new Smoke-Less thingamajig."

My boss: "No smoking at work when kids are around."

My parents: "Stop smoking."

My friends: "Stop smoking."

Dully (7 years old): "DO YOU WANNA DIE?!"

My cigarettes: "Smoking is dangerous to your health."

The thing is, it is man's nature to SEE FOR HIMSELF.

I give people all kinds of advice. I don't mind when they don't listen. It's also man's nature to give advice.
