A Sad, Sad Day

A terrible thing happened in our country today. 

Bloody end to Philippines hostage drama

I cannot put into words how I feel. But to quote one of my friends, 

"People died, period. THAT's what REALLY sucks. More than the tainted Philippine image, more than the alleged bans, more than the adverse effects on tourism."

Incidentally, it happened the day I posted a photo of me and my family in Hong Kong. :|
