Yeng Back Home From The U.S.It is the best of times and the worst of times. The worst of times from the tragedy that happened at Virginia Tech. The best of times because Miss Yeng Constantino was here. She and the other fabulous finalists graced the U.S. with her and their presence. Specifically, the Los Angeles area, San Diego, and Torrance / Carson, where I met the lovely and talented Miss Yeng. In behalf of my fellow Filipino-Americans and the state of California: "Salamat"! Thanks for the memories!! |

the Virginia Tech tragedy
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xXRvTe4jk4w http://www.planetblacksburg.com/2.../photos_virginia_tech_tragedy.php http://youtube.com/watch?v=yiwdS10vOdc Virginia Tech is Devastated by the Worst College School Shooting in U.S. History April 16, 2007 Virginia Tech students comfort one another during a convocation ceremony at Cassell Coliseum a day after a gunman shot and killed 32 people before turning the gun on himself April 17, 2007, in Blacksburg, Viriginia. If you want a sense of just how terrible Monday's crimes were, here's something to try: imagine yourself committing them. It's easy enough to contemplate what it would feel like to rob a bank or steal a car; you might even summon a hint of the outlaw frisson that could make such crimes seem appealing. But picture yourself as Cho Seung-Hui, the 23-year-old student responsible for the Virginia Tech bloodbath, walking the halls of the school, selecting lives to extinguish and then ... extinguishing them. It is perhaps a measure of our humanity that we could sooner imagine ourselves as the killed than as the killer, and find it easier to conjure up what it would feel like to plead for our lives than to take someone else's. That is where the hard work of trying to make sense of a crime like that at Virginia Tech always hits a wall. We can debate, as we predictably do in these cases, what an incident like this means for our endless national argument about guns and violence and the coarsening of the culture. That's well-mapped ground. |
