respect is dead

i really like the word respect.it means a lot to me.obviously, since i want to be respected.i mean, let's face it. everyone wants respect. and everyone needs to learn how to respect others. okay, fine. confession: sometimes i totally disrespect my granparents, but that's only because they also totally disrespect me and my father. no matter how young, how old, we all deserve respect.

our batch wants to be respected by the freshmen and lowerclassmen. i sincerely believe we deserve that respect. the one obvious reason is : we're the seniors. duh? hehe.anu ba yan? but this post is not only about the respect our batch is looking for. this post is about respect, and respect itself. especially respect for the dead.

yup.respect for the dead.

it's my mother's 6th death anniversary today but we celebrated it last night.we woke up early today to visit her grave. i still don't know why people visit graves when there's an occasion but it's okay for me. i mean, she is my mother after all. sabi ng mga matatanda: just to pay respect daw. we just planned to leave some flowers in the mausoleum (anu ba spelling nun?).

so imagine our surprise when we reached mama's grave and found the gates wide open and the tiles broken, and the flowers gone. the padlock and chains were also gone. this sort of thing happens occasionally in most cemteries. people who have nothing else to do with their damn lives trash the graves of the people living 6 feet underground.they sell the chains and the plastic flowers that the relatives of the dead leave there. but why break the tiles? you can't sell broken tiles. was it done for fun?

or maybe it was revenge for the caretaker of mama's grave. aling linda, the caretaker really cleaned it yesterday because she knew it was mama's death anniversary.so she was surprised when she saw the place today. she then revealed to us that the other caretakers in the cemetery are her rivals. the others don't want aling linda to care for some of the graves. the others think that only they have the right to care for the mausoleums. (sori kung mali ung spelling..)

what if they were the ones who did it? anu bang napala nila sa pagsira ng grave ng isang patay na babae? wala. they did it to piss off aling linda, but we were the ones who got affected. we were the ones who felt disrespected.

oo, alam kong patay na ang nanay ko.pero ibig bang sabihin na hindi mo na pwedeng iagalang ang isang patay na nilalang? porke't ba she's 6 feet under na?
