Where's the money?

Been browsing throught the net for news. Ondoy still tops the headlines. I share the wrath of some people about government expenditures on 'hakot barangay' travels, 'golden' meals and the idea of a new presidential jet (which was scrapped recently)... while our disaster brigade here lacks the necessary equipment like rubberboats atbp. and the people have no decent evacuation areas. Have they lost their minds on the true meaning of priority? Hayy naku...

Let's help!

I'm so thankful to God because our area wasn't really that affected by 'Ondoy'. I pray for those who lost their homes and their loved ones... may God give them the strength to withstand this trial.

Anyway, I got this from Inquirer.net. If you happen to pass by these establishments, maybe you could give a little help in forms of donations for the Ondoy victims.

Heto nanaman....

Tama na yung isa e....

Tapos heto nanaman....

I know there's a purpose for everything.... pero bakit ba ako pinaglalaruan ng tadhana?

(sigh)

Nasstress tuloy ako to the highest level.... but I'm still hoping for the best.

Missing Manila.... (well, not everything...)

We survived!!! hahaha... Gawd.. I missed my house, my room, my garden and my pets. I spent the long weekend sitting at the corner of my room sorting and disposing my antique papers... and decorating my scrapbook (kasi ang dami ko ng backlogs).

One thing I didn't miss about Manila is the stress. hahaha... I can't simply concentrate on the job I'm doing because of other stuff (like past projects et al).
So many things to be considered and scheduled... (sigh).... Gone are the days where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at our convenience ... Gone are the days where a shuttle picks and drops us at the hotel (no need to commute/walk).

Siguro masarap na kape lang ang katapat nito.

Ilang tulog na lang...

Uwian na!

Gawd I miss home. I miss my pets and my garden. Nothing much to do here at Cotabato really. More than 3 weeks have passed by and our 'adventure' are always limited to going to the fruit stands and the nearest (and only) mall nearby, South Sea.

I've been analyzing my financials lately.... money is really slow-moving... which is good because we really don't spend that much here.

Good thing long weekend pag-uwi. At least I could spend some time at home and with my brother, who'll be coming home on September 15.
