mine are trivial

what's wrong with the world today? make that philippines, on a local scale...

turn on the tv and sad, devastating, draining news are thrown at you...

  • the last ultra stampede victim was buried the other day. the agony for those left behind does not end there though.


  • families of those buried alive in the leyte mudslide are losing hope that there is still life beneath the monstrous dirt.


  • can't imagine how an entire village was engulfed in mud... and they were helpless.


  • another mud/landslide in zamboanga... illegal loggers blamed...


  • loggers gain at the expense of human life... not too much life... only 1,800+ just ditched in dirt. and some more when other mountains collapse soon.


  • mayon volcano shows signs that it will errupt some time soon.


  • students of st. andrew's school rushed to hospital for mercury poisoning.


  • magdalo group threatens malacaƱang of a bloody event on friday. residents near malacaƱang advised to vacate the area by friday.


  • makes me think...

    ~ my rants are trivial.

    ~ there are bigger issues in the world than my sighs and "problems"... or are they problems at all?

    ~ there are other people with worse burdens than my so called personal dilemmas.

    ~ so when i feel like complaining, i will swallow them instead.

    ~ my private circle is a mere dot amidst the vast matters of the universe that ACTUALLY MATTER.

    ~ and IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT ME.

    *sigh* watching the news is like getting a dose of depressants everyday. the leyte landslide was a big news here. kawawa naman yung mga batang nasa classroom pa daw nung mangyari yon. =(
