POSTSCRIPT TO A BLOODBATH IN QUIRINO GRANDSTAND By Bang Lu Min Quirino Bloodbath Survivor
Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza’s hands. The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn’t listen so he used us to get everyone’s attention. Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn’t see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn’t understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head. Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was. The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate. I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don’t matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth. Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle. Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It’s like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death. Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally admits his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive – for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang. I know I will survive, I will come home.

I finally found the answer on how to cross-blog your blog posts to LJ (Live Journal) and at the same time with Blogger and have a link to Twitter and Facebook.
It's a bit tricky though.
It was made possible by Multiply.
(good thing I had my Multiply Account for years.)
so i've just started using LJ, and since i had some posts with Blogger, i just wanted to export them.
I searched google and didn't find anything to help me with doing that, so i remembered that i can post using my MULTIPLY account then put it into blogger. Just my luck, it also sends out to LiveJournal.
the steps are:
1. Go to http://multiply.com
2. Sign up for an account / Sign in if you have an existing account.
3. Click on Blogs, That's on the Top Right.
4. After Clicking on Blogs, Scroll down and you'll be seeing there the logos of TypePad, Blogger, and LJ, click first blogger/LJ,(it's really up to you on which one you want to set up first)
5. Put in you information like your ID and password. (Before submitting, don't forget to tick the Enable cross-posting between Multiply and Blogger/LJ checkbox)
6. Press connect.
7. repeat steps 4 - 6 for TypePad/LJ/Blogger.
TADAAA, Create your posts on Multiply and it will show up on your blogs.
BTW!!! Before you submit your posts, make sure that you tick the Cross-post to _(LJ)_(Blogger)_ checkbox to make sure that you can post them.
:) hope it works for you.

I'm so exited to wear the Nursing Uniform

it's a one way process, but hope this works. :)
okay, since it's more than a week now after my tonsil surgery(Tonsillectomy, removal of tonsils.) everything is way better.
no more pain, etc.
and i just want to share pictures that i did have after surgery.
of course, you can see more pictures on my multiply.
but here's some samples.
Day 4
The IV
by the way, as you can see on the pictures,
there's these white stuff on my throat, by now, those things were gone.
what the doctor told me, what they did is,
they used a scalpel to take off the tonsils itself
sutured the blood vessels going to the tonsils,
cauterized everything, just to make sure that bleeding won't happen,
and used a laser, just for them to be sure and to take care of their Egos.
'twas really painful though.
and the only thing that you can eat for a whole week is Ice Cream,
was fun at first, but on the 3rd day,
it seemed like, i don't want to eat ice cream anymore.
I've read somewhere that besides from 'Tawas' there's another good way on how you can whiten your underarm, and a good news, this one doesn't cost that much, No Surgeries, Etc. What you all need is faith and the MENA CREAM.
I personally think that it can work, well, it helps whiten your face right. gives you that baby like skin, probably it'll work on your armpit as well.
It's worth a try though.
btw. just got the pictures from google. THOSE ARE NOT MINE!

so yes, what am i doing at around that time?
1. Ofcourse, Read books
Board Exams are near eh.
