Man on A Billboard
It was traffic in EDSA on my way to Quezon City. Suddenly there were lots of people crowding in the center isle. Media vans of ABS-CBN and GMA had their satellites up. On a huge billboard near SM City, a man clings and stirs up attention from pedestrians and motorists alike. A firetruck extends its ladder to reach the man. And as traffic moves slowly, I left the site without any knowledge what happened next.
I am unimpressed with people who try to do something and then change their minds. They put up great feats just to get attention. If you're going to jump, then jump. They say those who just wait for a crowd doesn't really want to kill themselves because if they did they'd just jump whenever. I ask, "Why? Why go to such ordeal (climb a billboard) just to get attention? Is your problem greater than AIDS or what just happened at Virginia Tech? If not then stop over-reacting. There's always hope.

i'll have some serious laugh bout this post. i used to be this kind of person, u know. my brother said ignorantly, "don't bother telling me if you're jumping. if you want to jump, go ahead. if you decided to stay, i'll try to help you! now decide!"
ppl like that, either they like attention or they really lack of attention.
you really should pray a lot for that kind of person so that they'll open their eyes, and act if you will. you might as well as saving another soul for God.
