2BU Soup Kitchen

Pam Pastor from 2BU is asking for help in a soup kitchen project for the kids of Payatas on the 16th of December.

I really don’t need to elaborate how we should keep the less fortunate brothers and sisters in mind this Christmas, or reiterate how lucky we are compared to these people in spite of all our problems.

What I want to stress is that when we give, we give because we are sincere, not because everyone else is hopping on the bandwagon as if it is some fad to be involved with charitable acts.

My objective was to post this before payday because I know a lot of you are short on cash now since its the final stretch of the pay week. The Christmas shopping doesn’t help too. Here’s to brightening the Christmas of several kids!

Anyway, here’s an excerpt from Pam’s email:

Here are the NGO’s bank account details, just in case you want to make your deposits directly:

For peso donations:

Prudential Bank
Retiro Branch, N.S. Amoranto St., Quezon City
Savings Account No. 01043-010963-0
For the account of: Lighthouse Center for Children Foundation, Inc.

For U.S. dollar donations:

US Dollars S/A # 05043-001046-7

Donations in kind are welcome as well. Rice, mongo, seasonings, vegetables – I will be collecting them until Thursday so we can have enough time to prepare them before we go to the soup kitchens on Friday.

If you wish to go with us, please e-mail me at pajammy at gmail dot com or ppastor at inquirer dot com dot ph.

I’m trying to organize something now with the HIP staff. Though I believe in more sustainable efforts to help communities, these soup kitchens are a good way to open people’s eyes to the reality that 90% of the country’s population is below the hamburger index.

My Desk: December 9 2005 7:29 pm

I’m starting a new section here. Seems like my desk, like my face pimples, are in an ever-evolving state of flux. I always have different stuff on my desk with the work I do.

So basically, this is what my desk looks like at certain times during the week. Woot! Show and tell!

Edifier E2100 2.1 speaker set. It’s a very inexpensive piece of elegant acoustic technology at P2,199.00.

iBook G4. This is my custom built notebook which I bought from a good friend about a year ago.

Nokia 6270 (on the iBook). This is actually an interesting phone. It looks like an electric shaving razor.

Sony Ericsson k700i. This is my personal phone which I pair with my Mac.

Olympus SP 500UZ lens cap (picture taken with camera). Review unit here. You can check out the other shots I took in this post.

CD-R King Mouse. It glows in the dark! (Like me!)

Hazelnut Coffee (thanks Nina!) in my “I’m Scorpio and proud of it!” mug.

A night of MUGing!

This is me, JM, Lester, and Mond showing off our balls.

I hate writing about parties, so it’s best I just show you pictures of the Philippine Macintosh Users Group Christmas Party held yesterday at Bykes Cafe in Pasong Tamo.

Take a look at the pictures here, here and oh, here!

UPDATE: Butch Dalisay did a wonderful piece on last Saturday’s party in his blog.

I’m now live on Problogger.

I feel like I’m on a pedestal.

dinosaur comics

I found these comic strips I made for Qwantz several months ago. I think I posted about it in my old blog but for the sake of starting anew, I decided to upload them on the new server.

These comics were inspired by my 95-100% grades in high school Metaphysics. We had a geriatrically-affirmed teacher named Mr. Sese so we’d comically refer to his class as “the Esse of Sese.” He always told us how he would love to die in the middle of class to show that he was “fulfilling his manner of being as a teacher.”

N.B. The comics are in chronological order, done in the all-famous Dinosaur Comics style!

You can view the first comic here.

I always thought that subject mastery meant that you could make fun of it. So … Enjoy!
