LBC Branches Now Accepting Donations

I am cancelling my planned post for today to give way to this quick post. 

I came across this announcement in one social media while drafting several blog posts today.  I prioritized posting this in the hope that I will be able to help in my own little way through the medium that I am most familiar with.

lbc red cross

LBC’s cooperation with the Philippine Red Cross in sending relief goods to the victims in Iligan City, Cagayan de Oro and other provinces during Typhoon Sendong was very effective.  I for one was able to utilize that service during that time.  Let's all help in making this more effective and successful this time by pitching in any manner that we can.

All the details are in the poster.  Please help and spread the word.

    I am a flood victim too Ms Balut though I'm just stranded so it's not really a big deal. I guess we all need to help out even in the littlest way we can. Long live Pinoys!

Sunday Poem and Photograph: She Who Loves The Beach

By
It’s the second week of the new year and the official summer time in tropical Philippines is still two months short and yet all I’m thinking about is the beach. While people were stressing themselves with the holiday rush and parties, I was busy hopping from one beach to another.  I know this sounded weird but as I’ve said on my new year's post , I’m having flighty feet lately and my body has been shouting to spend time with nature specifically to the beach.  But, family and work obligations got in the way during the summer so when I got the chance to take a vacation I grabbed all the opportunities!  The hell I care about the cold December breeze I went beach and island hopping! I even ignore a gorgeous year-end party at the Palace Pool Club and declined other holiday-related invitations. Out of itchiness and longing, I even spent time (and money) to an urban man-made beach in the city.  However, it just worsen the longing rather than it served as a temporary remedy.  The longi

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

By
I was going around my stuff that I packed two years ago, back in the time when I decided that I’m done with the corporate world.  I realized that I did not check back to this box-load of stuff since I packed it when I exited that world of mine. The sad thing is that, I’m digging this box because I’m looking for a document that will support a stupid system that halted something that I had worked so hard for a couple of weeks.  I was feeling upset and frustrated while doing the digging. I realized there are lots of things in this box that I really really love.  They are of no financial values.  Just the silly stuff that I can’t take away so I just keep them.  As I picked and tousled things, I came across some small notebooks where I used to write anything that I can think of  at the moment. One of the small notebooks is a favorite since college days.  It is covered with my stamp collections and in it are my favorite quotations, prose, phrases and some poems that I personally wrote.
