It's Just Wednesday


This day is supposed to be an extra-special day for me but with the recent events in the country, who would want to celebrate, right?

I am just thankful that despite the wrath of Ondoy claiming many lives and destroying a lot of properties, more Filipinos survived the catastrophe.
And on a positive note, there is an overwhelming support from our kababayans and foreigners alike.

There is also an outpouring of volunteers serving in the campaign drives of both government and non-government organisations.
This only shows that in these times, compassion is still present amongst us.

I wish that more donations and support will be given to our needy kababayans especially those who have nothing left. There are still many who have not received enough in terms of assistance and rescue and relief operations.

Let us continue to help them in our own way.

Communicate.

Donate.

Volunteer.

Share.

Pray.


Thank you very much.

Birthday mo ba?

If it is, I hope you still observe your special day, kahit quietly. Somewhere in the world, other people will always be suffering, but that doesn't always mean we have to cancel our own little moments of happiness.

In light of the misery others are enduring right now, we should be silently grateful for little joys. Like a birthday.
