We are meant to be.
I was answering my long test today for Philo when I just got the interest to research more about Richie, the topic of the test. Anyway, Richie Fernando was my section in senior year high school. So I googled his name… and when I read these quotes, I remembered how they moved me about three or four years ago!
“I wish, when I die, people remember not how great, powerful, or talented I was,but that I served and spoke for the truth, I gave witness to what is right, I was sincere in all my works and actions, in other words, I loved and I followed Christ.”
“I know where my heart is. It is with Jesus Christ, who gave his all for the poor, the sick, the orphan… I am confident that God never forgets his people: our disabled brothers and sisters. And I am glad that God has been using me to make sure that our brothers and sisters know this fact. I am convinced that this is my vocation/ mission. I am a Jesuit.I know where my heart is.”
Ayun. Gusto ko rin pag namatay ako hindi bibilangin kung ilang medals ang natanggap ko, pero kung gaano ako nagbigay, nagtaya, at nagmahal para sa Diyos. Gusto kong maalala ako ng mga taong minahal ko… Sana kahit isang beses man lang ay nabigyan ko ng kulay ang buhay nila… Sana minsan naipakita ko sa kanilang nandito lang si Kristo…
At sa second quote, sayang hindi ako Jesuit, pero alam ko rin kung nasaan ang puso ko. Alam ko kung saan ako dapat pumanig sa lahat ng beses…
Richie Fernando finished his AB Development Studies course at the Ateneo.
Hindi ko sinadyang mag-DS dahil kay Richie. Tadhana lang talaga na pareho ang course namin at pareho din ang puso namin. Hahaha! Idol ko siya. I’m so proud I’m a DS major. :P
Sayang Richie, hindi kita nakilala. Close sana tayo ngayon. Hahaha! :)
2 – Philippine Coffee Industry
Local Demand: 65000 metric tons
Local Supply: 30000 metric tons
Ang laki pa ng market o. Sa mga entrepreneurs diyan na gustong makatulong, mabuti sigurong pasukin ninyo ang industriyang ito. Save the Barako! Haha! :)
Gusto ko ng coffee farm! Arabica, Robusta, at Barako ang gusto kong itanim. Kahit 5 hectares lang, ayos na. Hehehe! :P
3 – Rice Importation Sucks
Dahil sa commitment ng RP sa World Trade Organization, required tayong mag-import ng rice of a certain amount every year – may shortage man o wala. Eh biggest importer na nga tayo e!
Kawawa talaga ang mga rice farmers! Hindi ba sakto ang farmgate prices ng NFA – masyadong mababa. ARGH!
NFA, mababaon talaga kayo sa utang! At sinong biktima? Si Juan (at Juana). Ay nako. Ay nako talaga!!! Masisira ang keyboard ko nito…
Nakakapikon ang mga kurakot. Putek kayo. Sana nalunod kayo sa Bell Field nung bonfire. Hahahaha!
