Wake Up Call

Music: Awakening- Switchfoot

Last night, I was struck by the most devastating news so far. Earthquake in China which Death Tolls rises from 10,000!

10,000! That's a lot of people. The 7.9 magnitude toppled building and concrete walls on the street of central China. News reported that 1,000 teachers and students were buried and worst of all feared dead.

Not only China is suffering from destruction. Myanmar is in the state of calamity also.


It's scary. Sobrang nakakatakot na ang panahon. Well, I think it serves as a wake up call for all of us, including me, in the US word. Hearing steaming hot political and economical news, who will just picture the world as getting worse as possible. I mean, dito pa lang sa Pinas you will already see a sneak preview on what's happening di ba? Meralco and Napocor, fighting who's in fault of the seemingly high electric payments when in fact both of them should stop blaming each other and help EACH OTHER for solving this problem. Oil Price Hike, which in turn makes jeepney drivers declare transport strikes. Pagtaas ng bilihin, the Rice Controversy.

While all of us suffers, no-- not all, while the burgeoise and the lower class of Filipinos are suffering, high society and those "some" political scoundrels are enjoying eating dozens of rice and touring around the world, with a pocket money which they stole mula sa kaban ng bansa. Well, though this post is not mainly about revealing political upheavals, well, it's part of this wake up call thing no...haha.

Hay...Isang malalim na buntong hininga na lang ang maibubuga ko. I am still in the process of "reconstructing myself", kaya hindi ko muna iisipin ang mga problemang nangyayari sa mundo. Start from myself muna.
