VIEWS OF LIFE

I want to extend my hand for those who are in need. I really love Oprah Winfrey, she is my inspiration and as an individual, in my own little way, I may not have a "BIG GIVE" like one of her shows but starting in a "SMALL GIVE" is a way to make a difference.

After I saw the destruction of typhoon "Pepeng", I immediately asked the help of those children in the picture, they are my neighbors and cousins. It started with my piggy bank, and they went to every door knocking and asking for little help for typhoon victims.

On our way, we saw this wall. It's frightening!

People told me that they thank for this gate because it strains all those huge bark.

It was the second day, after the typhoon, I saw people staying in the house we take care and they started to tell me their stories.

That night, when typhoon "Pepeng" came, water from the river started to rise, people are running outside and looking for a higher place where they can go and that's the reason why they are their.When I enter inside the house, I saw the ceiling, my heart was touched... for I can picture what happened that night. It was so dark, and with the help of their flashlight, they destroy the ceiling and put a string where the children can used it as a ladder, for the water is already above their heights. Their parents stand in a plastic chairs, waiting for the water to subside. I am thankful for them for they survived but I am sorry for them for they have relatives who died during that typhoon.

This is the place where I am staying and I certainly say, I am still lucky!

Sleepless night, with prayers as my weapon, asking the rains will stop.

Finally, around 3 AM, water slowly subsides.

We first clean the houses,we take care.

Laziness is not an option.

It's a sunny day, but what a difficult day!

Who am I to react, for others got more problems than me.

My computer was damaged by the typhoon Pepeng that's why I just rented in a computer cafe just to update some stuff. Probably for the following few days I will be absent for the reason that I need to do some important things. Tonight, my cousins and I will sort a little goods to give and share for those that was affected by the typhoon. I am still so lucky for my family and I survived. I will post someday all the things that I will be doing ,for the moment, I will spend my time for more important things. Thank you for those who will continue to click my advertisement. My apology.
