I Support: End Hunger, Walk The World

-
I was browsing my old photo albums in my account in webshots.com when I saw this old picture of me and my officemates taken last 2009. This picture was taken when we participated in the End Hunger, Walk The World campaign by World Food Program. The pictures reminded me that once in my life I participated in a worldwide event that helped a lot of people specially children who doesn't have the opportunity or was deprived of their rights to eat and given sufficient food.

I was watching TV last night when Star Patrol, a segment from TV Patrol News Program of ABS-CBN, featured KC Concepcion just came back from her world trip. She is the National Ambassador for Against Hunger under UN World Food Program. My interest in participating and joining events likes this moved up to the next level. For this year, I do my best to participate more in any events that will help other people. Its' not only this particular campaign but also the ones like helping Save Mother Earth, Takbo Para sa Kalaikasan, Fun Run and some others. Anything that will promote our environment, good health, helping people etc., I will do my best to be on the list. 

WHAT IS WALKED THE WORLD

This is actually an annual event to raise money and awareness of World Food Program's effort to fight child malnutrition and hunger. This is a joint effort and its corporate partners, led by TNT, Unilever and DSM. Employees from this company walk with WFP Ambassadors, staff and beneficiaries as well as government and NGO partners to show solidarity in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. 

The succeeding pictures below shows me and my friends participated in the even last 2009,. We are not the one being feed by this event. We just look hungry but were healthy.  Lol. My previous employer participated in this event so we got the chance to join and unite with the world.
Strike a pose before the event starts
Its End the world for them! haha

Pose again..while walking..

This particular post is my way of showing support and encouragement to everyone who wants to help. I am not connected with WFP in anyway. This is just my way of saying that I support them and I believe in their advocacy in helping children around the globe. After all, "I believe the children are our future".

    In my opinion, the only way to end poverty and hunger here in the Philippines is for the politicians to stop their corruption and give the people what we "blue collars" pay for taxes. Hindi yung nakaka-kain na nga sila ng 3 beses isang araw, dapat sa matayog na restaurant pa.

Minsan naisip ko na sana di na lang kita nakilala Hindi ako nagsisisi ng ibigan ka Ngunit naisip ko na baka masaktan na naman ako Pero di alintana sa kung ano man ang maidulot nito Matagal na kitang kakilala Simula nung ako ay meron pa   Hindi ko man sinasadya na ikaw ay ibalewala Ngunit sa una nating pagkikita para akong ibong nakawala Dulot mo ay saya sa malungkot kung mundo Sigla sa puso ko ay ibinalik mo Ito ang takot ko na baka may magbago Ngunit bahala na basta ang mahalaga ikaw ay nasa puso ko Alam ko hindi mo ako kayang saktan Alam mo din naman na di kita kayang pakawalan Ngunit alam mo at alam ko na sa ating pag-iibigan Ang sakit at puna ay sadyang hindi maiiwasan Kakaibang pag iibigan na sa tingin nila ay mali Pero sa atin ito ay tama at walang pasubali Ngunit anong pakialam natin sa lipunan na mapanghusga Kung ang mahalaga ay tayong dalawa Hindi ko pinapangako na kaya kung ibigay ang lahat Ngunit susuungin ko ang m

Oh na na, Whats My Name?

 I REALLY HATE MY NAME. dyuk! Seriously, I really don't like my name that much. Why? Tinatanong pa ba yan? For me kasi my name is so common. Madami akong kapangalan. Gusto ko kasi wala akong kapangalan eh. Gusto ko nagiisa lang ang name ko. Like for example, when I had my Masters may ka name ako na Alex (girl). So kapag tinatawag ang Alex napapatayo kaming dalawa kasi di  namin alam kung ako ba o yung girl ang tinatawag. Nakakainis diba.. pero mas gusto ko na siya ang tawagin haha.. Ayaw ko kasi ang oral recitation ehh.. Lol. If given a chance at kapag mayaman na ako, I might change my name into something different. Yung hindi common maybe starts with letter "Z" like Zandro, Zabel, Zeebeedee, Zuma (di pala common ha!?) or maybe starts with "X" like Xavier (marami nga lang kapareho) o di naman kaya a name that starts with Ñ. Astig diba? Pero honestly gusto ko talaga na name nag start sa letter "J". Ewan ko kung bakit pero pa

When Love Moves In a Mysterious and Unpredictable Way

Hiram Kay Kuya Google I called my Mom the other day telling her that I will be going home this coming October 21st for a very short vacation with my office mates. We had a very short conversation that leads me to think about my future. After I told her about my unplanned vacation, we then have these conversation below.  She asked... "Kamusta ka na? Ano na balita sayo? May girlfriend ka na ba dyan or kasama sa buhay?" Being away from my family for almost 6 years now probably makes my Mom wonder If I am already committed with someone. I am not that open to my parents when it comes to relationships. With her question I replied with a laugh... Then he continued by asking me... "Wala ka pa rin bang girlfriend? Kahit fling wala? Mag fling ka naman". With those words coming from my Mom, my laugh becomes louder than the first. I then told her. "Importante pa ba yun? Masaya pa naman ako kahit single ako eh. Saka ko na siguro iisi
