LIVING LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE

We are petrified of the slow lane because we have allowed ourselves to be defined by the pace of our lives and our accomplishments. The slow lane does two things: 1) it makes us simply slow down — in our mindset, this means that we cease to be productive, and 2) the slow lane tends to make us sit in the silence — we cannot rush so we cannot do and the silence is ponderous and chilling to us because, for those few brief moments, we are put into a place where we are alone with ourselves… You, too will get caught in the slow lane. It’s inevitable in spite of all that you might do. But perhaps next time, you’ll choose to stay in the slow lane, switch off the radio and thank God for the time He’s allowed you to stop.

Claims?

Posted by: takeitallaway in Myoozings

Thee may sound morbid but thy are instructions (family, friends, others) in case a similar fate befalls thee:

1. Thou shall not agree to any resettlement or waiver. Let the court decide the just and fair compensation;

2. Thou shall get the best lawyers for thee (c/o Cynthia’s siblings and Milette G.). The remuneration can be covered by item (1); and

3. Thou shall not endevour to retrieve thy body. Thee rather be entombed in the sea and than be retrieved whilst no person can agnize thy body.

alas, there will be people who will succumb to Sulpicio Lines’ bait. given the current (mal)practice of overloading and shady passenger manifests, the Php200k pay-off would still be much cheaper for the company than to resolve each of the claim cases in court.

this might be answered by legal books and laws but for settlement/claims issues, in the absence of corporal evidence, when can you legally declare a person dead? will the said timeframe be sufficient so as not to forfeit your right to claim compensation from sulpicio lines (or transport carrier in question)? i mean come on, how do you suppose the bereaved ones will come up with a valid death certificate of their loved ones within the next few months just to file claims?

if only all of us were insured (then we would be dealing with another can of worms).
