My heart bleeds for Mindanao

The recent storm that struck Mindanao last night left so many people homeless with nowhere to go. Trailing behind are lifeless bodies of people, children and those who were sleeping with the hope of waking up this morning only to find out they were waking up dead. Most affected are Iligan City, Cagayan de Oro City and Zamboanga provinces.

Worst, those who were expected to help were also victims of this calamity.

Meanwhile, our office went ahead with the Christmas party. And I am attending more parties tonight and tomorrow and the coming week.

I feel so useless.

And then they attack

I was confident because the big box where I stored my books and other projects was beautifully standing in some corner of my new house. This box is not just BIG but very heavy because all my design books, my favorite fiction and non-fiction books and my finished projects were stored in it so I have easy access on them.

However, due to heavy load in the office and the travel time I took every day from Cebu City to Lapulapu City that would left me so tired I would find myself sleeping in the living room, I was not able to transfer them to my room. So it stood there in the corner waiting for me.

Last night however was a disaster! When I opened the box looking for some project samples, I saw a termite on the box cover. I palpitated! I moved the box and saw the disaster!

I never knew the box stood there majestically strong but inside it was crumbling to pieces.

This book and above suffered most of the termite attack. I wonder what does this mean. Is it really a curse?
And then the also take joy in eating Ruining It For Everybody.
And Robb Walsh asked them: Are You Really Going to Eat That? I think their answer was a big YES!
Also they started eating Tomas OsmeƱa.
