Calamity 101
- First, slap yourself and tell your self, "GET A GRIP!"
- Wipe your tears and smile. Crying won't help! Spend those emotions in helping instead!
- Open your cupboards and cabinets and pull out all the stuffs you wanted to donate. Put them in containers and start packing. Remember to bring medicines, alcohol, plastic bags, towels, blankets, etc.
- Go to the nearest church or relief area or other establishments that accept relief goods (e.g. McDonalds, Coffeebean and Tea Leaf, etc.) and bring those. But if you could bring them to the relief areas yourself, the better - it'll be faster that way!
Easiest way to lend a hand (other than bringing relief goods)!
Not all of us are rich, but at least, we could help in the simplest way we could. Even if it's just 100 pesos, that 100 is already big enough to save lives. So please help!

And lastly, stop the flaming and the blaming, for a while, and just help!
Please! Just ignore those heartless bastards and just do something, anything, to help. Ranting and flaming them will save no one, will help no one! Blaming other people will not save lives, for goodness sake! You can bash them on, later, at any time, but for now, ignore them and help! SAVE FIRST, FLAME/BLAME LATER!
Now that's said, here's a list of sites for this cause:
* I'll add as I go.
Thank you 12th floor neighbor for flooding my entire room. My bed is wet, my floors are wet. Everything is literally wet!
Thank you 10th floor neighbor for bitching about your flooded room, my room was flooded too, you know? Even if it's not my fault, you blame it on me. You always bitch about every little thing. You don't have the tiniest bit of delicacy at all, do you? Oh and your air conditioner is too noisy, before you go bitching about other people's things, get yourself a new one, please?
Thank you rain for pouring so hard that the streets below are badly flooded that I can't even step out to buy food.
Thank you fast food chains for refusing to deliver food "due to bad weather." I was dead hungry last night, but it's okay, I forgive you, you can't do anything anyway, unless you swim the flood.
Thank you PLDT for your lousy Internet connection. I didn't have internet the entire afternoon yesterday and the entire morning today.
Thank you weather, you suck so much that it's freaking hot right now where you were just raining badly yesterday.
Thank you life, for ruining my weekend. I love you too much, keep it coming! Fuck you.
In October, Chette and Philip are celebrating their 7 years of service as Christians. Now that I think of it, I've been an atheist for 7 years 2 months already. I chose to become an Atheist a few months before Chette and Philip got converted to Born Again Christians. That's right, became an Atheist by choice. It is the religious path I've decided to take, in conclusion for my futile attempt to search for my life's purpose. I've been religion hopping and going to several religious services for trial until I met Tony, who introduced me and offered me to join the conversations, debates, etc, in Pinoy Atheists group for a peek of their beliefs and philosophies. And few months later, I officially joined the group.
I remembered those days back in my early years in college. When Chette and Philip met Ran-nii, and got them converted to Christianity, there were so much drama going on that things became way too serious that I kinda got annoyed, but decided to simply stepped down. "It was their choice to begin with, they looked happy with it, so let them be." was what was in my thoughts and remained quiet. Freedom of self-expression is the one thing I wanted to grant to people around me, at least.
Several months after that, things started to settle down. Yet, to my surprise, I found Ran-nii (that friend who converted Chette and Philip to Christianity) posting in the Pinoy Atheists group. I got curious and started to wonder why would somebody of that status (religious-wise), post in the group. I simply welcomed him to the group and left him alone since I don't want to get myself involved with their religious drama. And then, several months later, he told me that he officially converted from an Agnostic to an Atheist.
Isn't it ironic?

Ang kulit nung nasakyang kong taxi kaninang umaga. Gaya ng dati, i-blo-blog ko. I-plurk or twit ko na lang sana ito, kaso, medyo may kahabaan yung usapan namin. Nagsimula yung usapan namin nang madaan kami sa isang lugar kung saan may ginagawang daan. Sa may Makati ito, bandang Dasmarinas Village.
