I don't think anyone's gonna read this so I might as well share anything I may think of. :)
It's 12:30 am and I'm sitting on a stool surfing the net...not so interesting huh? oh well that's life for me. at least that is life. For so many, what they would call 'life' has ended, or has lost meaning. By this I mean those who've badly experienced the wrath of the recent havoc of typhoon 'Ondoy'. for many of us though, 'life'...goes on...moves on...
but no one is forced to move on absolutely having to leave behind the entire past - as my former Philosophy mentor tattooed her arm, "everything changes but nothing is truly lost", but in Latin. For the ones who are lucky, those of us who have experienced just a bit of this tragic event, life has now instilled itself yet another moment to reminisce. one that took not just lives, but captured many others.
I bet most of the Filipinos who have the opportunity to lend a helping hand, cannot help but do so. I believe that whatever humanity Filipinos by nature have, whether instilled by religion, family discipline or national pride, there is still existent to this date. Seventeen years young, I was able to do a little simple something.
The nation may seem to have gone dry of good statesmen, but somewhere beyond justice halls, senate hearings, government buildings or even the constitution, there lies a good Filipino will.
VOLUNTEERISM may not be like heroism or martyrdom, but if a country had a lot, then it sure will make a damn great one.
