"No one stood up for you"

"I know you don't like me, and you have every right not to like me. I have abused my power, but now I'm here on your turf. What I need to say... What I need to say is I saw what your mother was doing. I saw how neglected you were, I saw her drive your father off. And, I spent a lot of time beating myself up about that. But, what does that do for you? Nothing. Nothing! I wasn't your advocate. I didn't fight for you. I never stood up for you. I left myself off the hook. I told myself I was young, and didn't know any better. But, I did know better. I wasn't much younger than you are now. I should have fought for you Meredith. Like you fought for that child today. I told myself that I wasn't your father, that it wasn't my responsibility, that I was right not to butt in. I let myself off the hook. You were helpless. You were a baby. A beautiful, smart, funny little girl, and no one stood up for you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. -Richard to Meredith.." last episode on Season 5

I was blown away with this episode.. and yes, I was a bit late watching it.. it was shown early last year. These words of Richard to Meredith pinch every nerve in me. They act brialliantly.. I love this particular scene. i can't wait to watch the next season!

bang...

Today is the second day of the year. It is the first saturday and it seems like I'll be spending it at home.. Just home.. For the past year, almost all satudays were spend lurking down the streets of Angeles City. Yes, just here in Pampanga. After the incident in Manila early last year, I get to have some time to spend it with friends and Family.

And now it is 2010.. Time flies!

As I post on my FB account, last month, it was the 6th year of my Friendster account. Then next month, it will be my blog's 5th year.. I can still remember the time when I first hook my self in to the blogging world... and now.. I'm still blogging..

I just hope this will be a year for me.. 2009 is full of unpredictable memories.. but moving on would not be possible if we do not know how to let things go..

Holding grudges would not let us go on.. it would just keep us from the misery of yesterday. We may fail, but we should know when to rise above anything else. Then learn from the past.

We were given another year, another chance to make things right.
