Just getting it off their chest...

The Aquino administration is receiving negative reactions from social media due to the voices of enormous Yolanda victims airing their true sentiments  on how they act a bit slow distributing the foreign aids after the violent Yolanda left the Philippines. Been days of thirst and hunger, cold and many got sick' old and children alike...and many cadaver still lying there without proper-handling of the casualties.  It's all over the news and am sure you or we are all updated to what's happening to ill-stricken provinces specially the hardest hit city of Tacloban. On my FB page I saw and read one post advising people not to judge the administration swiftly since that person saw a particular team working hard to help the victims in Tacloban for that day he took his family out of that devastated province. This urged me to write what I thought's more right. Having seen what he saw doesn't equate to what is really happening everywhere. So let's give their chance ... no gagging, no covering-ups please...let all these criticisms be heard for the betterment of our country's immediate action in time of crises.

let's respect people who's now shouting out their grievances as long as they don't go overboard and incite extreme harshness against the government since they have the right to be heard also, specially those who are in battered areas and who've lost their loved ones. elected officials are there to serve and help at their utmost capacity. we are just silently observing their actions, and this latest horrific-devastation gave people enough courage to speak their minds and so, let their woes be heard...

let **some** government officials receive all the flaks they deserve... they should all be under the scrutiny of the people who put them all in power.

PS/The mysterious 10 billion php Napoles  empire proves for the nth time that there are really this honcho-connivances and wrong-doings in our government. 

If no one will criticize, then who will...and when...?! Let it be fair and square...

Soar like an eagle...

"When a storm is coming, all other birds seek shelter. The eagle alone, avoids the storm by flying above it."

So, when life gives us storms as most likely it does... may our heart soar like an eagle... with our faith acting as shields to overcome everything. (leonoreaquino)

Super Typhoon Yolanda is here...

Stay safe everyone! And let's pray!

Life is unpredictable, it changes along with every individual. Today you have and tomorrow you may not have, be thankful for the good that stays with you...

I have been complaining of my knee pain since I got back here last June. But yesterday I couldn't help but go to my doctor at Medical City for consultation. I was given Diclofenac via IV and stayed at ER until it's done. It just took about less than three -hour-stay. And off we went home after paying the bills. Really, health is our only wealth...

Lulled...

I haven't been updating my blog since my last post. Our internet server has got so many issues and I was compelled to terminate the contract and applied for another.

Am back now. Cheers...

Happy Birthday to me...

For you nanay...

Love and light from the Philippines...

Took me some hours thinking if I should post this or not. But just to tell the whole world how sadly horrified everyone is about this tragedy that took the whole world again by surprise, here it is. My heart and everyone else I believe...really goes out to people who were innocently victimize in just one flick  before the finale end of the famous marathon. And as a mother I felt so heartshaken when in the news...a little child of age eight...unsure if it's a boy or a girl... gave his dad a kiss before the latter went on with his struggle to be at the finish line, then minutes later the bomb shook the vicinity where the child was. Unluckily he didn't make it. How could anyone imagine the horror it gave that fateful day where cheering and enthusiasm should be and not  those loud wailing and sirens of the ambulance were heard.

How can anyone harbor such great hate if these were made out of terrorism? Or was it an accident? No matter what comes up of the investigation...it already took some lives and have left big scars to all the victims' family and friends as well...

 I changed the video which appears less gruesome than what I posted earlier. . . to give respect for all the victims and their families.
