Now now..

We are all aware of what's currently happening in Philippines.. The murder of 40+ people (which includes media people and journalists) in Maguindanao, the corrupt yet unwilling to waver government, terrorism, recession, price hikes.. As per the news I heard this morning, we are currently competing with Iraq as the number 1 country which is unsafe for medias and journalists. Hell, we even ranked as one of the top as the most corrupt government.

So.. What else is good in Philippines?

It's people like Efren Peñaflorida.

Efren Peñaflorida grew up in Cavite, established Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) when he was still 16 with three other friends and lead different youth awareness projects, talent and self development activities and community services. One sample of his various projects is "Kariton Kalsrum" (Pushcart Classroom) which teaches reading and writing to children from slum areas. Because of DTC, youth which are previously oriented and engaged on the harsh reality of drugs and violence lead a cleaner and more meaningful life.

Oh, he's also CNN's Hero of the Year. The government kept looking for people or group who can contribute to the betterment of Philippines and yet, they don't look inside their Mother Land.. Philippines needs lots and lots of Efren Peñafloridas.. The government should look up to him and his group for examples.

Kudos Efren and to team DTC~ More power and do continue your good work. We're totally proud of you!

Happy Birthday, Rida

Dearest Rida,

May you NEVER...EVER change. Accompanying the image in this post are the lyrics to Kevyn Lettau's "Sunlight" which is apt for everyone who gets a piece of inspiration from this truly talented man.

"He's my laughter, my lover, my life...He's my sunlight."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May you have a good one today. :)

OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU!!!

thanks for keeping the boys together!

i was telling my sister last night that i think it was ohno's fate to be arashi's leader. why? remember "their mom's" portrait in My Girl pv? they said it was made by putting together Arashi's different face parts altogether. i think what came out looks somewhat a female version of ohno-kun. for me it's kinda like saying ohno is the face of arashi...hehe!
