Typhoon Haiyan: Ways to donate if you live in Canada

#prayforthePhilippines
Philippines needs help. I just left the Philippines to move back to Canada when the storm hit the country -- being away, this is the least I can do.

 As you all know, Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) made headlines around the world not just because it is one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded in history, but also because it had caused great devastation to many towns in the Philippines, and killed thousands and thousands of Filipinos. Even though the storm had left the Philippine Area of Responsibility, many are still in danger of getting sick or dying because many are without home, food, clothes and even clean water right now.

 It is known that Canadians are among the most generous of people in the world. Let us show, once again, how compassionate we all are by donating to the typhoon victims. 

 I have compiled links to different NGO sites where you can forward your monetary donations. Please feel free to donate to a cause you most believe in, but remember, no matter which organization you pick, the end goal is still to help all the Filipino victims. And no matter how big or small your donation is, it will go a long way.

 Here are the different ways to donate if you live in Canada:

 1. Canadian Red Cross

 I will be updating this entry every time I find new links. To let you know as well, the Government of Canada will match every dollar donation you give till December 8th to registered charities in the country.

 P.S. If it's not too much to ask, please pray for the victims as well. 

 Maraming Salamat po! ("Thank you very much!")

Thank You for New Windows

Photo by Thea Sandoval Who doesn't love beautiful and peaceful fall mornings? All mornings spent at home are beautiful to me, but the magnificence of the autumn season just magnifies its simple beauty. Last night, we had a fun, gleeful Thanksgiving celebration with my parents' Couples for Christ family. This morning I woke up to an opposite ambience -- it was quiet and calm, with sunrays coming through the windows and all. I sat beside our living room window and I said a little "thank you" inside that all is well with my soul again. I started thanking God for all His small blessings that we fail to notice when our lives become a little less than perfect. Art from seedsoffaith.com It's been months since I was able to really stop and appreciate the beauty of life and all the gifts that were given to me. I thought this morning was the perfect time for me to reflect and say a " salamat " (thank you) for everything. First and foremost, I am thank...

Happiness in a cup

photo by Thessa Sandoval I'm a certified tea lover. Truth is, I used to ignore tea. I have an overly sensitive tummy and when I was younger, my  lola  (grandma) often told me that drinking tea would do my tummy some good, but I didn't take her advice. I started loving it when I moved to Canada. Since it's freezing cold there, especially during winter, a hot drink in your hand is a staple. I don't drink coffee and I can't have hot chocolate all the time (because, as I've said, my tummy's ultra sensitive and having hot choco all day will set it off like a ticking bomb), so my last option is to have tea... and that's how I fell in love with it. It's true, love can be learned.  Hihi .  I love it so much now that I would visit the Vintage Tea Room on  Locke St. in Hamilton  with my friend Ayeza and pay for tea reading afterwards!  "Tea Freak" image source: downthatlittlelane.com.au my friend Ayeza and I share the ...
