Today much to my surprise
Facebook's layout changed.

Today,
I found myself struggling to
understand Facebook's new layout's
mechanics.
Or, actually,
I was just trying
to figure out where my
Notification, Home, Inbox, etc. buttons were.

I found my inbox.
I had a new message.
*click*
It was a message sent to all
of SPAS's '08 alumnae.

I read the message written...
Read it again... and again.. and again.
I was in pure and utter shock.

Mr. Oliva was dead.
And, I could not believe it.

Mr. Oliva was part of our school's staff...
or even more than that.
That was more than a few years back...
Moving on,
I won't say that he's really that well-liked
by the students.
BUT,
he did his part for the school to actually attain some change.

When he left our school because he had
a farm to take care of in the province... I thought
nothing of it.
But honestly,
there was something in the back of my mind that told
me that there was something fishy about
all of it.
But, I let it go.

Actually, a bit of me kinda liked him.
I was quite scared of him at first,
because he always seemed grumpy.
I liked him because at one time,
I was forced to be absent because I was sick...
or was I?
I can't really remember correctly...
Anyway,
he signed my excuse letter and handbook.
He even wrote there in my handbook to let
me take any tests or quizzes that
I may have missed.

So yeah,
that's it.
That's why I liked him.

Oh dear,
don't go telling me now that that was a really shallow
reason.
That that's his job, so he's supposed to do that.
Because to that I reply,
I'm a person who likes random kindness.
And I don't forget things like that all too quickly.
Yes, even if it's part of his job.
Yes, I accepted that random kindness of his
and I won't forget.

So to this post I end with these few lines:
Sir Oliva, may you rest in peace.
May you be happy wherever you are.
Thank you for everything and now...
It's time for you to rest.
