| let's all help each other out |
[Sep. 28th, 2009|05:31 pm] |
According to the news, Ondoy has been the worst ever to hit our country after, what was that, 40 years? It's devastating to see and read about the effects of this storm. I've had my own share of stories about last Saturday (some good some terrible---which I might expound later on, if I'm in the mood haha), but I'm thankful my family and I are safe.
Fast fwd two days later, here I am at home itching to help the others who are deeply affected by the nightmare. I feel really helpless since my parents won't let me go out, and I've heard there's an influx of volunteers in schools but not enough donations and delivery cars to go around, but I'm hoping this might help just a little.

Grabe lang itong araw na to. I ate so much today to compensate perhaps for the many weeks I have been neglecting to give my body three square meals, especially and specifically during school days. It's not that I'm getting thinner (asa na lang ako? hahaha), wala lang, it's just that I don't treat it well when it comes to food.
