Just a Thought...

While most of us were busy packing gifts, doing last minute Christmas shopping and preparing for Noche Buena...

Victims of the typhoon Sendong celebrated their Christmas grieving since hundreds of families lost their homes and thousands were killed while some are still missing caused by the floods. And hearing different stories of survival and grief of losing their loved ones and even their intense hope of reuniting with them, I can't help but shed some tears for them.

I am grateful to those kind-hearted people who continuously donate, who spend their spare time to help in repacking the goods and even distributing them personally to the victims despite the dust, mud, raging heat of the sun, poor road condition, and the like. I myself am pretty amazed on how people in Iligan, CDO and even in other cities are united. Sacrifices have been made but nothing can ever replace the priceless smiles and "thank yous" from the victims everytime you hand them the goods. Seeing them happy really makes you want to help more.

Let's pray for the victims of typhoon Sendong! Be a blessing!

God bless everyone!

Overheard at Operation Tabang Sendong :)

Student 1: Bai, nabaha-an pud diay mo? Student 2: Oo lagi bai. Student 1: Dawbi? Nganu ga-volunteer pa man ka dinhi? Student 2: Silbi pasalamat nalang nako ni bai nga nabuhi pa ko. Hear! Hear! This is for all the others who got flooded too but still chose to help out. This is indeed our way of saying thanks for the second life that we have been given. :') This is what the Atenean Spirit is.

For clarity

May I just clarify something? There's a huge difference between sharing your good cause as it could invite people to do the same thing and to contribute in any way possible (think chain reaction) and shouting incessantly to the world that you are doing this and that for the people in need. The latter's almost similar to rubbing into people's faces that you are that benevolent. And uh, it's like taking advantage of an urgent situation for your own self-righteousness and much-wanted popularity. You know, you don't have to let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. Or is it the other way around? Either way, that line holds so much truth. Just sayin'.
