A very unproductive day. Verrrry tired ... i guess that's probably 'cause i came back late last night and had several sleepless nights before. *yawns*

So the Pope eventually died at around 2 this afternoon. To a lot of Catholics, his death is definitely heartbreaking. I'm not Catholic. But I personally think John Paul II was a good man. In the world flooded with trivial celebrities today, he proved himself to be a man with genuine charisma and grace by drawing the attention of the world to the significance of peace and love. In that sense, he contributed a lot in evangelizing. He deserved the respect. I was very impressed when I learned of his attitude in face of adversities. Despite his failing health, he insisted in fulfilling his duties and visions, asking "Has Christ ever come down from the cross?"

Nope. He hasn't. Perhaps that gives us reason to carry on and live our lives as they are.
