the 39th fatality due to SARS but the 1st healthcare worker to be victimized by the virus died yesterday.

but why should i care, you might ask? cause the nurse was a filipina.
yea, i said filipina. so yea...my prayers go out to the family, not just cause theyre flip, but cause i can relate and cause i count my blessings. my mom's a nurse and well, like i said..i count my blessings.

another point of this entry...my mom's knew the deceased was filipino even before the name or picture of the victim was released by the media. how you might ask? well, we're not related....that just emphasizes how close-knit the filipino community is. from york region to sauga to scarbs to b-town brampton...flips know flips.

sorta like how i think mark ani should run for mayor..he seems to have a strong pacific islander following. however, i know alotta non-flips..so hey, i should run for office too.

oh!

by the way...

happy canada day!


the best damn place to live. i might even raise kids here.....or australia...or maybe the u.s. however, i kinda hate the u.s...so hey..canada looks mighty promising.

peace out canucks!

but before you go..sing along...

O Canada

French Words


O Canada, terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.

Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,

Il sait porter la croix.

Ton histoire est une épopée

Des plus brillants exploits.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits

(repeat)


"canada good."




yeah!
