Not again!?!

My heart breaks when I heard the news that again my country, the Philippines has been hit by a devastating natural calamity killing hundreds of people and leaving thousands homeless. Not again!?! We have not completely recovered from the previous ones yet and here we are again. I can't help but asked WHY?

I can't stop crying when I saw this photo of a father holding his daughter on his hand. It's heart breaking! It's something that you wouldn't wish to happen to anyone even to your worst enemy.

My heart goes to the people who lost their love ones, who's lives are never going to be the same. The sad part is that knowing our government? and how slow everything works, I don't think these people are going to be helped anytime soon. The saddest part is it's Christmas, how are these people going to celebrate the holidays? It'll be so hard to move on, but knowing us Filipinos and with our strong faith to God we'll stand up again from this trial. The help may not all come from the Government (cause it's impossible) there will be a lot of private citizens and organizations that will lend a helping hand. We'll get through this.

Fantasy of lights

We've been going here since 2005 but put off the last two years from some unknown reason I really can't remember . Last night we came after the rush so there will be no line waiting to get in and glad we did cause we were able to take our time. It was fun, fun for the three brats most of all I guess that is what's important. My eldest keeps screaming " This is the happiest night ever!" and my two year old was the happiest cause it's her very first time.

For $15 entrance fee I admit my expectations were a little too high. I thought there will be new lights display, but it's all the same so again I'm glad we put off the last two years so it was all totally new to the girls. Sort of. Then what bugs me the most is that the display is littered with sponsors billboard. I see more ads than lights lol! I think the revenue from the advertisement is not enough so they up the fee to $15 this year. It should be free. Aside from those and little things like, the car behind us forgot to turn his headlights off, staff forgot to hand us the 3d glasses my kids are expecting and the candy cane too in the end, we had fun. Our girls had fun, I hope!
