.. this is a really sad time for istorya.net. We lost a truly great person in benjie. I made this one to serve as a memoir from us, the istorya.net community. Feel free to type in your fondest memories of benjie, be it, in the forums or in real life.



.. as for me, he is indeed a wonderful person. I only met him more than a dozen times during meetings and activities but I can always feel that he is being sincere to everybody around him and to me. During meetings he's always the last one to be consulted and he always listens to what you're saying. I could always remember each time we have activities, Beor and Benjie back-bites me when I talk my signature-lingo, my mature-discussion lingo. And he always laughs, he doesnt smile, but he laughs. He has this very high pitched melodic laugh, that's what i'll miss the most. His laughter. He is always happy. He was and always will be an honest friend and a just person. Damn. I hate life, i hate that it ends. Fafi Benjie ...kuyog ta na, pa massage ta, ako libre sa inyo ni Beorski .. that's what i always joke on him. I'll miss you fafi benj ... it's not goodbye, but see ya later ...

.. here's a small part of dream theater's Spirit Carries On

Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear

I met him only once, at Gwen's. I remember us talking briefly about his work and a few common acquaintances/friends.
