Pounding The Keyboard

I was up to my neck in work lately and I wasn’t planning to update this blog site when I stumbled upon this tragic news on the internet. In that senseless tragedy, a man was killed because he didn’t know the Korean song “Nobody.” Witnesses said that one of the four suspects was singing “Nobody” (by Wonder Girls) when the victim approached him and asked naively, “Pare, ano ‘yang kinakanta mo?” I asked a friend to tell me more about the news and he said that according to the newspaper he read, the suspects first thought that the victim was just joking but they were all aghast, one of them even trembled, when they realized that the victim didn’t really know the song. What kind of a man is this? the suspects murmured to themselves. The suspects probably thought that since the victim didn’t know the song, he didn’t deserve to live. My friend added that every Filipino who heard about the news was appalled, not with the brutal killing but the victim’s ignorance about the song.
