not feeling in the best of moods lately. someone from the other platoon lost his right index finger in our exercise just this week. seems like it was cut off by a steel wire rope that snapped. the last information i heard about it was that they were still trying to search for the finger in the water.


this isn't even the first case i've seen in merely months. Doing what seemed like routine work, my bunkmate had, coincidentally and unfortunately, had his right index finger crushed when we tried to unhook the boat trailer from the five-tonner. he did not even scream in pain when it happened. he couldn't even feel a thing. his finger was crushed.


things that happen just make me think. i wonder when it will be my turn. i wonder if i will be able to make it through. i wonder if ever the day will come that i have to type my blog missing a finger too. i'm scared. i'm uncertain. but i know i still got to play my role.
