Happy Holidays!

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Just So You Know, Attila the Hun Called Himself "The Scourge of God."

From Inquirer.Net story Pacquiao: I had a talk with God:

"In my 31 years here on earth, God appeared to me once and told me to have unconditional faith in Him... I was not yet very popular and world champion when our God appeared to me and assured me of strength and power,” he said.

Well, now. Which deity is this, pray tell us, Manny? Does your church know about this apparition?

HELL, NO.

Albayanons are In Need. Let's Help.

From Inquirer.Net story Remaining villagers start fleeing Mayon danger zone:

Just over 9,200 families or nearly 44,400 people had already taken shelter in the evacuation centers since Mayon started belching ash, steam and lava last week.

If the alert level is raised to five, meaning that an eruption is in progress, another 16,000 villagers living beyond the danger zone would also have to be evacuated as a precautionary measure, (Albay governor Joey) Salceda said.

Folks, the Filipinos need help, just like when Ondoy and Pepeng swept through the country. We did a lot of good then; let's do what we can now. I know it's the holidays and our thoughts are on home and hearth, but do let's think about those who need cheer even more than we do.

Accepting donations to help out our Albayanons is:

Citizens Disaster Response Center
72-A Times St, West Triangle, Quezon City
Tel. (+632) 929-9820

I hope we all can do a little something. We all know we can.
