He was a good-looking 28 year old, working as an engineer in one of the Japanese multinational companies, and he earned 5 figures monthly. He was rich, he has a big bungalow, he drove Merc and he got ladies swarming around him wanting to have sex with him. And so he did. He slept with countless ladies. And whenever he travels to Japan, he slept with more Japanese girls.
He knew his wife knew about him sleeping around, but he continued living a life with multiple sexual partners. They finally seperated, but didn't divorce. Kids chose to stay with his wife as he ended to live away from the bungalow.
Somehow at some certain point of his life, he took up recreational drugs. He took different form of drugs from time to time and before you know it, he could tell you which drugs give you the best longest lasting effect. And he still slept around. He finally quit his job as an engineer and enjoyed his life taking recreational drugs and having fun.
One fine day, he had a severe pain on his abdomen. So painful that he cannot walk and has to lie down and do nothing. On the second day, he finally admited himself to the nearest hospital. He's got jaundice for the past few months but he never really cared.
Only then that he was informed he's got a long list of diseases.
Hepatitis C
Liver cancer
Metastasis of the liver cancer to the lungs
Fluid leakage into the lungs
Bone tuberculosis
Underlying heart valve disease
He regretted what he did and how he lived his life. He lost his wife. He lost his life. He lost himself.
He spent his last few days in the ward. Frail looking, lost a lot of weight, and had to rely heavily on the oxygen mask. As days gone by, he became weaker and weaker.
"Appreciate the people around you, respect yourself." Those were his last words to the medical students who talked to him.
He was just 39 years old.

That's life... so sad to hear about this person. But anyway, it's what he did...
what a sad story. (this sounds cliche) but life is what you make it. in the end, the question would be was it worth it? he knows the answer.
sad case.
I had a friend who slept around too wherever he went.
luckily for him he converted to a religious faith and had since stop his overly happening lifestyle.
人之將死其言也善。。
glad u sound better nowadays n blogging more neutral topic. u got us all worried, u know
what a sad story.. and most of the time we happen to know we are doing wrong too late..
He reaped what he sowed. If you follow us to Hospice, got many more versions than this man's case. I often shook my head left and right until I became immune. Perhaps I should work as undertaker.
Poor fellow! Not much that you can do for him unfortunately but to pray.
We will only appreciate life only when it comes to an end..
sad story....his last words are truly from his heart..
