Every December, my high school barkada and I visit Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage in Taal, Batangas to bring some toys, some books, some clothes, some food and some fun. This is how we end the year.

Although it seems like an act of charity, it’s more like an act of gratitude, really. This is our way of acknowledging all the blessings that came along our way in the year that is just about to come to a close.

We’ve been doing this since we were college freshmen. It’s been 7 years. Pero mas marami kami ngayong taon. Mas marami ring gifts. Mas masaya. Mas magulo. Mas nakakatuwa.


But I hope, this 2009 is gonna be different. I’ve been urging my friends to help me throw a party for cancer patients, instead. Meow here kinda inspired me. I realized that since I completely understand what cancer patients are going through, I should be helping them feel better. I lost my dad to cancer and we almost had the same problem with my mum.

Yeah, I really should be doing that. I’m gonna need to brush up on the forgotten Art of Brainwashing and Manipulation, which I haven’t practiced in quite a while. Haha.

Ahem, ahem.
