1) My heart goes out to all those affected by Typhoon Ondoy, truly. I am overwhelmed with the outpour of support and help... but i can't stop thinking that it took such a tragedy for our people to come together. Were there no homeless, starving, and dying children pre-Ketsana? The state of our country is a disaster on its own... the typhoon only made it worse, doesn't mean the help wasn't needed before then. When this disaster is overcome and life resumes to normalcy, does the help stop too?
2) The thought that some people are still trying to make extra cash out of a tragedy is sick. SICK, i tell you. SHAME on you.
Raising prices on basic goods because you know people need them.
The Philippine Customs Officials are charging taxes and/or seizing international relief donations? REALLY???
3) I'm in a terrible mood because the laundry place i've been going to managed to completely shrink my favorite sweaters. I mean if it used to drop to knee length, they managed to shrink it to waist-length. I know there's nothing i can do about it (which is the sad part, because apparently, in a different country, you could be fully compensated for this), but this chick is piiiiiiiiiiiissed.
4) *woooooooooo-zaaaaaaaaaaaah*
5) On a lighter note, Dylan and i have moved out of the inn we've been staying at for the last 2 months. The new apartment is good and cozy, but there's still a lot of work to be done. Looking forward to building a new home.
6) Today marks the beginning of my 3rd year on a long distance relationship... i can't decide whether or not that's great (because we made it this far) or tragic (because we're STILL apart).
That is all.
I'm so happy it's Friday. Can you tell?
