AMCI sacrilege at a friend's wake
AMCI Mountaineering Club, Incorporated, formerly the
Ayala Mountaineers Club, Inc.
See the photo above? See all the big smiles, and wacky poses?
Notice the portrait at the right side of the pic and the small cylindrical marble urn next to it?
Yup, ya read it right, an URN!
Nice time to turn a wake into a sideshow exhibition!
I got this pic at solitaire6's multiply account while I was searching for a detailed incident report online.
To my surprise, I found this absurd shot that gave the term disgust a deeper darker meaning.
This photo was taken at a friend's wake, Thaddeus Reantaso's, last Sunday, June 29, around 1-2 am, 2008.
Tads was one of the victims of the typhoon Frank.
The incident was reported here and here and I posted these articles on my deviantart account here
I never thought anyone in their right mind would do such a sacrilegious act. I was proven wrong.
And to think it is this same organization that can be held responsible for the death of a friend and two others!
Responsible mountaineering my @$$!
Update: solitaire6 removed the pic from multiply but the damage is done.
Update: Flame me all you want but one thing is certain, guilt is entirely different from grief.

You really are one sorry excuse for a human being.
You really are one sorry excuse for a human being. You malicious, insensitive, ignorant bastard. Glad you're adding hooplah to and sensationalizing this when Thads is supposed to be resting in peace, and his family taking comfort in the fact that their son died trying to save a life during an activity he loved to do.
So kudos to you for making everyone who cared for and loved Thads hurt all over again. You self-righteous prick!
Sana lang n'ung nawawala si Thads at halos magunaw ang mundo ng magulang at pamilya niya, at kami naman'y nagkandarapag hanapin at sunduin siya, nandodoon ka para tumulong!
Hindi itong umeeksena ka "post-mortem" -- pun intended!
And don't dare speak about responsible mountaineering when you're not a mountaineer and you haven't been up a mountain That's like me giving you a lecture on perspective, balance, and symmetry!!! Get off your high easel!!!
Update: I put the picture back. That was a happy picture with Thads until you gave such a malicious and unfounded judgement about it. But then again that photo wasn't for you in the first place so take a good look at it again and weep.
"The batch picture"....uncalled for in YOUR opinion. Fine i respect that.
"Now who made snap judgments on who."- - I was just following your lead mister.
"I was readying my gear when I heard Tads has gone missing. Us Fine Arts friends were mobilizing. When we got the news they found his body, we were all dismayed." - - a little too late, but the thought counts.
Look, I apologize for all the cuss words. I understand that just like me, you were also a friend of Tads/Ted/Duff. But you started this. You could have said that you thought the batch pic was uncalled for by simply sending me a Private Message. It also doesn't help that you and your friends started posting accusations that are unfounded and uncalled for given the fact that you guys are oblivious to what really happened.
Also, You started the post at my site with WTF. And you expect me to channel all my social graces so i can sum up a reply?!!
Nasabi na ang nasabi, at hindi na ito mababawi. But please, can we just drop this already. We may not see eye to eye with regard to the picture, but i'm sure you'll agree with me that Tads wouldn't have wanted his friends fighting.
Let's just give this issue and Tads a rest. Thank you.
P.S. And btw, it's mister not Miss Solitaire6. :-)
