Salako Bato: I Am Still Here, 2016!

Hello 2016, I am still here...
Just that, though.

My own unquotable quote(s)

*The burden of knowledge lies not on the fools but on the wise.

*It is fun hearing a stupid person calling a not so stupid person stupid.

*A day older, a few hairs lesser.

*Speak my language, all of it except a few. You say that few we all go hare-wire.

*If there is no road, no chicken would have crossed it. (An attempt to answer the popular time immemorial question "Why do the chicken cross the road?")

*Don't trust a mirror completely because left becomes right and vice versa.

* Donate our smile while we can, it's free. A day without smiles is a day wasted.

* If two wrongs don't make a right, three wrongs will certainly invite a fight.

* The single most potent cause of death is a "disease" called "old age". Billions of people have died this way.

* Life starts with a CRY, not laughter. Those who are ashame to cry are ashamed of life.

* It's good to feel stupid sometimes because most of the time we think that we are not.

Maba mamang nyarui'.
