Again, if you're too cool to care and you're exhausted at the sight of another write-up such as this.. If you're itching to ask why there is a need to be concerned when what's happening with the Palestinians do not directly affect you anyways...
You're most probably searching for self-centered reasons, so get this: What if we were the ones in their shoes?
What if we were the ones being violently deprived of a territory when it is every citizen's and every nation's right to begin with?
What if it was you who was robbed of equality and rightful existence?
What if it was your child, or your parent, or your little brother or sister who's among the thousands of innocent civilians already killed?
What if you were just as unlucky as them, being in the middle of a war you wished you would never again be in?
They don't sleep nor eat, and can't even live a normal life anymore. If, just like them, you are already as hopeless as everyone you know, wouldn't you want to just be rescued, or even a little bit relieved, as soon as possible from the holocaust they're in?
And to add an even selfish-er reason, would you want oil prices to skyrocket again???
It is indeed very difficult to put an end to a conflict so seemingly unresolvable, and so old we've tackled this in our West Asian history, but all the same, we have to do our part. That is, if what you want to live in is a peaceful world.
For crying out loud, this isn't even a civilians' war in the first place yet they're the prominent victims of this killing spree! What do these unarmed people have against the 4th strongest military force in the world?? They have their slingshots, that's all. The fact that murder is just wrong in so many levels is already a justifiable reason to be completely against this oppression.
As if dead civilians aren't terrible enough, even the volunteers who come to help are either killed as well, or if lucky enough, just chopped off of a limb. Hospitals and evacuation centers are bombed, and relief goods from the outside are blocked from entering Gaza.
Sure, some of them might have escaped from dying the M-16 way, but they're not far from dying of starvation and/or chronic sickness.
Do you sense total annihilation, too?
If the Hamas and the Israelite military have no intentions of settling their conflicts in a peaceful, diplomatic manner, atleast spare the innocent ones ESPECIALLY the children from this inhumanity. They can go on bombing til the United States run out of armory supplies to Israel, just PLEASE stop the relief blockade, and stop destroying what SHOULDN'T be destroyed.
Being aware is the first step. The next act to take is yours. All they ask for is our voice, so do your part no matter how small you think it may be. Pray, as a little can go a long way. If you are interested and gutsy enough, join a protest expressing how much you abhor what's happening in Gaza right now, similar to what a school in London did. For an easier yet effective alternative, write down your concerns, put it out on the internet or send it directly to our government officials locally, in Israel, or wherever else and who knows, pag marami ng sumulat it'll get their attention and they'll find a way, probably an anti-war resolution or something like that. You will not lose anything by being concerned for these people who VERY BADLY need every help they can get right now.
Our country has its own unsolved problems to worry about, but if you come to think about it, Israel's story is mortifyingly similar to the Mindanao issue, as both are fighting for their territorial claims. This chaos just might affect us one way or another, in the long run, more than we think. Hence, we should be thankful that we are not yet? where they are now by trying to help them get out of it. Or atleast being concerned.
Just doin my part.

Stupid Facebook news feed! Her face is still plastered on my inbox. I hate it hahahaha. But not as much as I hated it yesterday. I cried it all out last night so, yeah.. Don't think you're
that important just cause I cried over you.. I'm 90% sure this is just PMS. The remaining 10 is cause I'm really pissed off and you're nowhere near where I can punch you in the face so I just cried.
Nothing ticks me off more than a trashy friend.
Ang epal mo. Pasalamat ka..
NAKU.
I'm resigning tomorrow. Without intending to be rude I think this was a decision I should've done long ago [yuck parang ang tagal na eh 2 months pa lang naman].
Anyway. Now what do I do next..
My goodness the world is so damn small. At yung ibang tao talaga, hindi talaga nagbabago. Which could've been nice, except hindi kase nakakatuwa yung ugali nyang ayaw baguhin.
Tangina. Makakahanap ka din ng katapat mo. At as much as I want it to be me, eh ewan.. Pero pag nainis na talaga ko mag-iisip na talaga ko ng strategy. Gusto kita pabagsakin hahaha ganti lang kahit wala naman na talaga kong balak gumanti kase di na ko galit pero it feels fulfilling, in some curious way.

Yung aso ko kinalbo! Haha he looks like a totally different dog. Go check in my Multiply if you have nothing better to do.
Ayan kase ang sama ng ugali ko! Lesson learned: wag sasakay ng airport taxi unless matter of life and death na talaga at wala ka ng choice. Bakit? Flag down rate: 70php. +4php per 300 meters. San ka pa. Para kong nakarating ng Pampanga sa binayad ko. Amputa.
Kanina nagiinarte ako kase wala lang. Maarte ako eh. :)
