helping hands
few weeks ago, typhoons Ondoy & Pepeng had wrecked havoc to our beloved land.. a lot of lives were lost, houses got devastated, dreams gone shattered..
during these moments of turmoil, i asked my sons to pray for the safety of people, not only those who are close to us (relatives) but even to those who we haven't even met yet... my kids would fold their hands and imitate Santino's gesture (looking up to the heavens) and they'll say, "Bro, bless them ha...kaw na bahala sa lahat, thank you Bro.." that has been their litany every night when i put them to sleep... (except on weekends when they play games on our computer with their dad, they go straight to bed after an exhausting battle...:D )
in light with this, i decided to take part in helping typhoon victims by donating some of our clothes to church organizations... last Tuesday, i sorted out some clothes from our "lumang baul" and donated some baby apparels to "Bahay at Kalinga" group that my friend Novie organized to help typhoon victims in Zambales. the next day, i donated more clothes to my kumare, Marina's church who are helping out Pangasinan typhoon victims..
somehow, i feel joy knowing that my kids and i have helped in our own little way and reached out to those whe are in dire need... i'm praying that this kind of calamity won't happen again so that the lives of many will be spared...
it's good to know too that Pinoys still practice "Bayanihan" in times of crisis.. a proof that Pinoys haven't forgotten the values that our ancestors have instilled upon us..

Let us also hope that the Bayanihan faver that took our country continues well to next coming years so as to make our nation great again, and also more prepared with disasters.
