How much does life weigh?

Finished watching 21 Grams last night and it got me thinking about the repercussions that people leave behind after they die. Morbid I know, but perhaps that is what the movie wants to trigger off in people. They say we lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death, supposed to be the weight of our soul. So little, so light, but yet the cost of our death is so heavy to our friends and loved ones. Losing 21 grams when we die does not only refer to the soul, but the part that is lost in other people when loved ones die. If the soul is what contains all these things, why does it weigh so little if it's such a big part of us?

I feel like living in a mental asylum whenever the uneducated, uncouth, barbaric and totally crass HQ CSM is around in camp. The ultimate was yesterday when he came into the office and started criticising and citing the untidiness of the office. Like he has any authority to do such an act. And spewing mouthful after mouthful of broken English, nonstop, like a mechanical toy gone haywire really made us want to pull our hair out. And the sad fact was that no one could do anything about it. He just made me despise him even more. I really feel like disclosing his indebtedness to the authorities. That'll definitely get him into a hell lot of investigation procedures and grant us peace for a while, but I'm not sure how to do it. Fancy someone like him setting such a "fine" example borrowing money from people to satisfy his unrefined love for the night clubs and bars. Ooh I just wanna tell on him.

I miss my mobile. Sent it for repair yesterday cuz of an insensitive button that's been bothering me since last year. It'll take a couple of days and most probably I'll collect it tomorrow. But in the meantime I'll just have to settle for my mom's fashionable Xelibri. Haha...
