Car Crash

Please pray for the family and the soul of a fellow Atenean (A2007) and a fellow Dazer (223), Joey Carlos who has already passed away. He died from injuries sustained in a car crash. Their car flipped a few times on their way home from a Baguio vacation. His other 4 companions, EJ, Knight, Leon and Dondon are fine, supposedly.

I never personally knew Joey. I only knew what he looked like, and that’s because one, I used to see him in school, and two, I checked his Friendster profile. It’s a bit haunting, really. A person can always easily leave traces himself on the internet, even if he’s already gone.

Rest in peace, Joey. You’re with Kuya Jess now. :)

Kapatid, paalam sa iyo.

And oh, it’s Michael’s second month in heaven today. We miss you Mike.

EDIT: Now I’m TOTALLY depressed. On the way home this morning, a kid was on the phone in Jam 88.3. Two of his schoolmates died of dengue ove the weekend, it was one of ‘em’s birthday today. Reading Icai’s LJ, I was reminded of the death of a Theresian, Patricia Esguerra who died of asthma a few days ag.

Why did these people have to die young? My dark October days have been extended.

    [...] This morning I was greeted with the news that a fellow Atenean and a brother through Kuya Jess passed away over the weekend. A week ago I read about a Theresian’s passing in a friend’s blog. Exactly two months ago, I was woken up with the news that Michael was gone. [...]

    Joey is actually quite close to my sister. It’s sad. His death affected us all, really. And I don’t even know that guy well.

    Ade: I don’t even know him much, but I was that affected. :(
