Je A. Bautista (Jan 1, 1966 - April 4, 2009)
Tu me manque. Take care forever.
Nearly four years ago, I was doing my training in Hong Kong. Je came over for a 4-day stay with me. My senior was all too glad to give me the time to be with him. You see, I noticed that the Chinese, and the Asians in general, value family and relationships so much. Knowing that Je was very important to me, my gracious senior allowed me enough free time. Not wanting to take advantage of his kindness, I worked double time so that I can have enough time with Je without sacrificing the quality of my work.
Je was meaning to stay for just 3 days, but he extended. The 4 days of his visit were probably some of the best days of my life.
I documented his visit in a photoblog of sorts. At first, Je was hesitant to have his photos put up for the cyber-universe to see, but he eventually obliged. Please visit the site. I simply want to share what happiness meant to me in the not-so-distant yet very distant past.

It has always been said that we have to live in the here and now. True...but it is the past that make us into what we are, now. The past that has made us the better persons that we are now, is the past worth remembering.
Can you blame me when I say that somehow, I live in the past? It is so, because I want to live for the present, and the future.
Today, I remember...to go on. Here and now and forever.
