NO TO ALL OUT WAR!!!

Being a Peace Advocate, it really hurts me lalo na kung maririnig ko sa iba na “bombahin na yan” patayin na yang mga salot na yan para matigil na ang gulo”, when in reality war is never the answer. Mindanao is my second home, I spent my High school in Davao and although it is a Peaceful place, I still feel sad and hurt sa ating mga kapatid na naiipit sa gulo sa kabilang dako ng Mindanao. It’s so sad na nagegeneralize ng iba lalo na yung  hindi naman alam ang boung istorya ang mga pangyayari ngayon. Let’s not judge base on our emotions lets be objective. Kung iisipin, ang lakas ng loob nilang sabihing gyerahin na ang Mindanao palibhasa wala sila sa posisyon ng mga taong andun at naiipit sa labanan. Ikaw, subukan mo kayang pumunta dun at danasin ang hirap na nararanasan nila, subukan mo tumira sa isang lugar na puro pagsabog at putukan ang naririnig mo. Subukan mong tumira sa mga evacuation center ng walang makain, hindi nakakaligo at nagkakasakit na ang lahat dahil sa walang gamot at hindi malinis na lugar. Itry mong matrauma dahil sa gulo at takot sa mga putukan,.  Itry mo kaya! Sila nagtitiis sila! Wala silang magawa! Wala silang mapuntahan! At ngayon, heto tayo na nasa safe na lugar nagsasabing gyerahan ang Mindanao. The Nerve! Grrr.. Nakakagigil. Hindi lang mga Muslim ang Apektado dito! pati mga Christiano. Hindi lang ang AFP at mga rebelde ang nalalagasan kundi pati din mga sibilyan! Mga sibilyang walang kalaban-laban, mga batang walang muwang, mga sanggol na wala namang kasalanan. Sila ang mas naapektuhan. Kung tutuusin mas malaki pa ang gagastusin ng Gobyerno sa pag-gyera na yan kaysa magpakain ng mga IDP’s, mas malaki ang makukurakot ng mga kurap! Kaya huwag nating hayaan na matuloy ang gyera, Let’s be fair, let’s give the children of Mindanao a chance to see the world, a chance to live a Peaceful society. Alam ko isa yung milagro pero umaasa ako, One Day matutupad yun.

 

 

I just really need to pour this out kasi ang bigat na ee

Eid Mubarak!

Working in a Non-Profit Organization  is one of the reasons why I have a lot of Muslim friends. And end of Ramahdan is near, its like Christmas for us Christians. Ramahdan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 or 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex with their partners  during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. (from Wikipedia).

I wanna greet all my Muslim Friends Eid Mubarak! May Allah Bless you all for all your good deeds

Little Ms. Dream Girl

I wrote A Post About the things I want to accomplish before I die a year ago (click here to view) but as I reread it now, I feel that there are things that I may not be able to do, though I still wanna believe that I will realize the following :

1. Build an Orphanage -

Status: as of this moment, not a single rock has been built to start my orphanage but I am slowly realizing that dream because I am part of an NGO (AAI Philippines) that also advocates to children. It feels good cause I am learning through it that may help me someday when I have my own NGO already ( hope someone hears my wish and sponsor me a building) I am now learning all the do’s and don’ts on being on a foundation and what makes learning fun is that I also get to travel and meet people.

2. Sent A Scholar to School-

Status: I know this one is also ambitious but I am now eyeing on someone I wanna send to school of course aside from my brother.

Happy Birthday Sir Gaddi!!

There are people in my life who give me comfort when the going gets tough, People who who will lift me up when I fall and people who will always be there no matter what, they are called friends. On the other hand, there are people who will guide you when you’re wrong and lead you to the right path. Someone who’s not just a friend but a teacher who never stops teaching you the light. Someone who will criticize you but will still be beside you, even if you fall because it is his pride to see you learn.

Well, Sir Gaddi for me is both. His my friend and my mentor (naks mentor!hehe) I seldom met people as good as him, very patient and loving. I really don’t know if I have already told him how thankful I am for all the things that he did for us most especially after the fall ( I don’t have to elaborate on this. He knows it already) Big Thanks for the entire support sir! For guiding us and for always wanting us to be in a better place. I know you are not perfect, but who wants perfection when we have you?

Happy Birthday!! We are so blessed that you are with us, and we could never ask for more.  You’re the best! .I know you are happy helping others but we wish that you’ll find that girl you’ll be forever with  and will never leave you till the end. Sir, whatever will happen, we are here for you. Through thick and thin, till our hair gets gray.

 

Love,

Fun Run :) weh?

Photo of me after the fun run. just posing cause I cant run hehe

It is my very first time to join a fun run and the funny thing is that, I did not even finish a kilometer. hahaha.It was forgivable for me since I am not a runner, I don’t practice and I am not a very physical person. I am a girl who loves to stay in bed, lay on the couch and watch tv, in short, I am couch potatoe. haha. In addition to that, I am also an avid fan of food. It’s my best friend when I’m stressed and depressed, that’s why I am this BIG.

My first fun run, is not fun why? because I almost collapsed in the middle of EDSA ( the route of the fun run was from EDSA Shrine to Camp Aguinaldo Grounds), good thing there’s a medic (from CRS-REACT) who’s following us.  So we rode on the

medic car as we (Waina and I) are watching them. It didn’t feel good because, I remember back when I was still thin how long my endurance was. I could keep up with my uber fit friends in terms of longevity  in exercising. But now, look at me now. I am fat! huhu

That fun run made me realize that I really need to move my body and shake those pounds out, so that I may be able to wear my old clothes again. The fun run made me ponder on the things that I have been doing with my body. I am abusing it, literally by eating lots of sweets, salty foods, soft drinks, fats and lots of cholesterol. It made me love myself even more. I promise to myself that I will continue running for the benefit of my heart, my liver, my body. And if I really want to exercise I should also invest on the thigns that I need, like proper clothing and of course shoes. I am actually canvassing for the best shoes that fits me and my budget so that I can start my new lifestyle  Wish me luck!  I am gonna be fit this 2011 yeah!

Beware >.<

Sa dinami-dami ng naghihirap na Pilipino, hindi narin naten mabibilang sa ating mga daliri kung anu-ano nab a yung mga nagawang diskarte ng isang Pinoy upnag kumita lang ng pera. Sidewalk vendor, kahit hinuhuli ng MMDA, nagtitinda ng DVD kahit nireraid ng OMD, Nakikipaghabulan sa Bus upang magtinda sa mga pasahero. Pero netong nakaraang buwan ay may nakakakuha ng attensyon ko, Ok lang naman sana kung minsan at sana naman ay totoo pero kung araw-araw mo ng makasalamuha, Aba nakakabwisit nay un.
Kaninang umaga, may sumakay sa Bus na sinasakyan ko sa may bandang Tandang Sora Ave, May namatay dawn a tanod, nabaril at kailangan ng tulong at saan kappa kompleto sa props dahil may Xerox na bgry. Clearance, death certificate daw at medico legal daw. Nanghihingi ng Limos, kexo kahit daw di magkakakilala ay tulungan naman daw echos.
I don’t believe them, kasi nung nakaraang lingo naman ganun din kapit-Bahay naman nila at ang masama pah neto, sabay kaming bumaba sa may Dian at bumuli sila ng food sa Ministop kung saan bumili din ako. Baka di nila ako napansin pero sobrang nabadtrip talaga ako, grrr.. anu yun, diba? Nagpabarya pah. Kaya talaga tinakpan po tenga ko kapag may ganyang-ganyang drama na sa bus ee.. Nakakabwisit kasi ng bongga panira ng day.
Sabi saken ni Ate Honey about sa mga namamalimos Hayaan daw sila kung yun yung ginagawa nila, Magbibigay parin dapat tayo kasi atleast we did our part, Konsensya na nila yun kung di man pala totoo mga pinagsasabi nila. Ayun lang.
Happy weekends bukas! T.G.I.F )
