Surreal In This Lying World

One of the trickiest thing about eating is trying to draw that fine line between feeling full and yearning for that little extra morsel.

Inevitably, I always cross the line.

I’m trying to finish up my leftover beef noodles now. Originally, I’d scooped out and heated half the container. But I’d scarfed that down soon enough and didn’t feel satisfied. So I thought about it for a full minute before I scurried back to the fridge to dig out the remaining portion.

Now I’m feeling way too full.

Wilfrid Andrew "Wolfmann" Hernandez passed away at age 28 due to aneurysm.

The news about his passing away came as a shock to me. I don’t wanna believe it. It wasn’t too long ago that I finally got the chance to meet him personally. (We chatted at YM once in a while.)

Being half way around the world, he was my eyes and ears to the happenings of the local music scene. Never have I encountered somebody with much enthusiasm and passion for music like Wilf does. He lived and breathed music. It was always fun whenever I get to chat with him.

When I told him I was coming home, he promised to hang out with me. And so he did. Little did I know that that would be the first and last time we’d get to see each other. He even gave me a copy of his album.

Wolfmann was a brilliant musician and more importantly a kind soul.

Paalam Bro… Let your spirit play on… Sabayan mo na lang ng beats ang thunder…
