For the first time, I may have to erase an entry in my blog. The original entry was a heated exchange between two old friends who had a fall out. One was foolish enough to let a grudge to linger for more than 10 years. The other is not aware that such animosity exist. Fortunately, the value of friendship prevailed and hopefully, the hatchet that shouldn’t be there in the first place is already buried.
I remember a poem by William Blake:
“I was angry with a friend, I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe, I told it not, my wrath did grow.”
My mistake is I was angry with a friend but I treated him as a foe which prolonged the grudge instead of settling an issue much, much earlier.
To Richard, perhaps synchronicity played its part that you were having your seminar in our building last Tuesday and helped settle things out. Thanks for that bro. To Oliver, goodluck with all your endeavors. People do change and I really admire the mature way you handled our heated exchange, even though my actions are really irrational. You take care, man.

Hello Emerito,
Actually, most of the quizzers during our time know each other, so more of a friendly match yung mga nangyayari.
Thanks, but nakakahiya naman to call yourself a fan. I am just somebody who likes to read and likes to compete.
As for Oliver, there has been some misunderstandings between us in the past and I hope the hatchet has already been buried. I’m sorry if what I’ve written has sent a wrong signal to everybody. Surprising it may sound but he will always remain a friend. Sometimes brothers do quarrel.
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog and hope you like the stuff I’ve written.

thanks for the reply. You know, Ive alwys been a fan of persons who always want to outdo them selves. In the early 90’s Ive been religiously watching David Celdrans Battle of the Brains. Ive also seen Richard Pante battle it out with the very best. Ive also seen Mr. gaorol (forgive me if I misspelled his name)of PLm clobber other well known universities. Are they really that good.Can you tell me more about them because I know that birds of the same feathers flock together. Thank you and more power.

Richard Pante and Leo Gapol are some of the best quizzers I’ve ever known. They’re also a class act because of their character. They are both good guys and look out for their friends. They are outstanding quizzers that sometimes I feel that it is not fair for people to think that I am at par with them.
