Requiem For A Fellow Cynic
to refriedgringo: friends of my son, ian, like you, make him very much alive with life, though nowhere! whats left are the memories we have of him which let us be in eternity, the patience, joy, wit, depth of mind,not easy to provoked yet with logic provokes! I want to share this: ian did the first rubik (cube) in 2 minutes at his first attempt in the fifth grade. in first year college, he finished the 2nd rubik in 10 hours. remember the six Olympic rings to be connected? I asked Ian, why did you finish the 2nd rubik in 10 hours and the first in just 2 minutes? he replied: "whats right in front of the eyes is hard to see, whats hidden is easy!" Papa, "the answer to the 2nd rubik was just there all the time for me to see!" 2nd rubik is called 'flip-flop'. I learned much from ian! hope you enjoyed it! again, thank you! bagwis_9— July 16, 2010 2:43 p.m.
Requiem For A Fellow Cynic
re, col. handa, its a familiar tale. father loved to tell and re-tell handa's character with the brood, there's not a single year he'd miss, i got bored! he shared it too with ian! i believe it happened in geneva, while mama and papa did a visit and ian was around just new at his job and the city. so, he had time with lolo. i've noticed lolo and apo animated, ian just listened. papa was difficult, onset of early alzheimer, i asked ian, how's lolo? he's easy to deal with, if you're also in the past, i just ask him ww II stories and lolo has volumes of it. in 1965, one of my uncles paid a visit to col. handa in tokyo. ganoon si ian, nakikita ang hindi nakikita! maraming salamat! ama ni ian— July 14, 2010 3:10 p.m.
