What are they thinking?
We are invited to join a benefit cocktail party for Typhoon Ondoy's Victims. I don't think this is approriate right now. I know the intentions are good. Somebody told me that it will be like a fund raising drive [selling items to gain funds maybe]. I know many people wanted to help without wanting anything in return. And there is nothing to celebrate. We are in the state of calamity!
How about coming up with something like a soup kitchen (feeding program) to distribute ready-to-eat meals to evacuation centers? or a relief operation?
This is just my opinion. Everyone is entitled to one, right?
And guess what we still have typhoon Pepeng moving towards northern Luzon. It is expected to hit land on Saturday, October 3, 2009 and could strengthen into a "super typhoon".
Let us pray that our nation will be spared from further calamity. Many of our suffering people have not yet recover from Ondoy's wrath.
May God help us all!

good morning chique... i think you are right. though i also commend the organizers for creating the concept and goal of the event, but what the affected people need is immediate assistance and the feeling that their fellow filipinos are in one with their situation and that we really care...
