What you see in the above video clip is a young filipino man strumming his guitar to the tune of "All My Life" (a song made famous by JoJo and K-Ci) and he uploaded that footage himself on his MySpace page. Sadly, he was my best friend's cousin who recently passed away last weekend from a major car accident in Virginia Beach. His life may be taken away but he profounded greatly those that were around him - and (at the funeral) even to those who didn't had the chance to know him well (in which one of them is me). Speakers on the podium spoke well of him at the mass and their own personal testimonies made me know him more as a person. And people in attendance were ranging from relatives, friends, fellow classmates, and even teachers. He stood out with an infectious smile and made the most out of his life appreciating every moment of it right to the very end. The man was gifted, talented and had so much going for him. As he lived, he stressed the importance of being close to family - and it showed so significantly during the aftermath of his passing. In conclusion to it all, the lesson from all this is to appreciate life to the fullest, put forth your very best in what you do, and love those you hold dear for we may never know when that last day to live is going to happen. My friend's cousin truly exemplified the greatness of life :)
On a side note, I looked at his profile page and noticed some real cool stuff. He labeled his occupation as: "Being Considerate of OtherS :D" and one of the people he'd love to meet one day is GOD.
