can you still remember the face of your first seatmate in your grade school? how about your best-frenemies in high-school? your bffs in college? your first job's lunchmates? do you still have their contacts? have you heard the latest news about them? are you still seeing them regularly? yes? no?
have you realized that the person sitting beside you or talking with right now might not able to appear forever after you'll be separated by fate any time soon? when a stranger greets or smiles at you, give them what they deserve because you never know you'll only meet them once in your life and how you treated them at that moment can affect their lives forever.
have you also realized that the simplest person in front of you can be the next superstar tomorrow and you'll be wishing that hopefully you had your wackiest photo sessions together or you have their autographs before they become unreachable?
because life has a lot of uncertainties, i am now starting to collect my friends' signatures.
- slumbook with a twist - before i left my first company i let my colleagues to sign on my special notebook and it never fails to leave me with a smile on my face everytime i'm reading their messages. below are some of the (random) messages they wrote.

| my special notebook that i'm talking about |

- even the simplest tumbler can be a memorable one - this tumbler was a christmas gift to me year 2009. when i'm holding this tumbler and reading each message written here it gives me a lot of memories of my former teammates.. <sigh>

bottomline, treasure every person you're with everyday because you'll never know when they are going to be gone but no matter what will happen never lose yourself and most specially your faith in God because even if we know that we still have friends and family around but we'll never know until when they'll be there for us.
