I just felt wrong to eat a bounty and party with friends or family while some people in our country are currently in evacuation centers. I did my part on contributing to the victims and donated some amount but I still dont feel happy. I did see the news and the situation is not really good, I'm not supposed to care about other people but its bugging me that a disaster strike during a holiday season.

I prepare foods for my family and i also donate small amount of donation and my old dresses to the victims to typhoon. I gave it to the church they said they will send it to the victims. I want to give more help but i don't have enough capability to do it. Im always praying for the safety of those who survive and to the soul of those who die.

yes..i think its not good. Because even some of them are gambling lord they are still victims of the typhoon and they own nothing right now. I also heard that some of the donor don't give donation now because of that case. Some of them afraid that their donation will be corrupted by government.

I didn't even celebrated at all during Christmas. I just passed by like an ordinary day. And same as you, you are there in the office working. I feel bad I cannot even do something about helping those people but just to make myself not to celebrate because a lot of people are experiencing all these.

I already asked my mother to cut down on her 'bounty feast' this year since we were really a small number of people and for practicality's sake.
It is true that what happened is tragic in light of the season and it is somewhat guilty that some of us have so much while others have nothing at all. My family and I also have do0ne our part in terms of donations but there's always that guilty feeling that you didn't give enough when you see those people in the TV screens.

I'm not going to spend my new year with family and friends but I think my family will still celebrate. I hope they will cut down too as a respect to the people in sorrow at this moment. I really dont and I cant explain why I felt affected by the storm.

We are in the same train of thought. We will be preparing some food for New Year's eve but definitely not lavish. Just a simple celebration. It doesn't seem right at a time like this especially when we know some of our countrymen are going hungry. If you watched the news, there was a mob all trying to have something out of the relief goods for New Year. These families are getting hungry and need something for survival. I don't know what the year 2012 will bring for them but I hope they will be able to recover fast. We Filipinos are resilient in adversity. There have been several calamities that have struck our country in the past but we always made it a point to survive and start all over again.

sometimes mother nature is being a femaledog, for giving out a damaging storm that currently makes thousands of people suffering. its just bitter, I wont even past it as bitter sweet, I cant celebrate anyway cos I'll be at work,I wont have a holiday.
