NATIONAL PASTIME AS WRITTEN

Written on the back pages of an old notebook:

June 27, 2005 – National Pastime – Unprotected sex (reaction due to sudden increase in teenage pregnancies in the country) borrowed from Pol…

July 8, 2005 – Some jerks bombed London…37 people killed as of this writing…

September 11, 2005 – Manny Pacquiao…knocks out Hector Velasquez of Mexico. I’m excited for the (upcoming) Pacquiao – Morales rematch…

November 4, 2005 – So it has been 10 years since Rabin (Israeli Prime Minister) was assassinated …

January 10, 2006 – Headlines: NEDA doesn’t know who to help because there are too many poor (translated from the fictive language Filipino – the weirdest headline ever). Life is harsh when you are poor that’s why I don’t want to…

January 22, 2006 – Pacquiao beats (kayoed) Morales 2:32 of the tenth round. God is Great!

The old notebook keeps tab of history. Just some snippets for the author realized his journal keeping has been a hobby for more than five years already (excluding some notebooks which were unfortunately destroyed or disappeared. Due to privacy reasons some paragraphs were edited.) The author is thankful for keeping a journal – for he wants to record history as it happens and annotate it if possible.
