It's our time to give back :)

You guys all knew that the Philippines experienced extreme weathers for the past couple of weeks which cause the provinces and cities to be flooded. With the rain showers given by the monsoon, Pampanga was one of the most affected provinces because Pampanga is one of the catch basins of the Philippines. Because of what happened to the victims, my family wanted to help the people to give back and thank God for our blessings, cause honestly, during the monsoon, we were all safe,we did experienced a little bit of flood but it's nothing compared to what others had gone thru.

still flooded :(

 Okay,so you guys may be wondering, why of all provinces and cities affected, We chose to help Pampanga? Well, it's cause we're from Pampanga and we can't stand to see them suffer from the calamity. My cousin, Ate Apple organized and coordinated with the people from Pampanga, and true enough they really needed help with food and basic needs.

 

Rescuers and volunteers :)

When we arrived at the center, alot of people started to wonder who we were. When they figured that we're going to give out reliefs, I saw this hope on their faces and that really made me happy. For the reason that,with the little things we do, we can change other people's lives and make them happy.

 Those girls wearing yellow are my bestfriends :> sooo happy that they got the chance to help us out:)

Even this girl got her set of goodies :) So happy to see them happy...I just wish that they would throw these plastic bags in their proper places.

Of course, I won't end this post without a little bit of drama ;)) hahaha!! 

BE SAFE and TAKE CARE guys :) LOVE LOVE LOVE :)

We've got a beautiful sunset over here

Well it's 1 in the morning and I'm still awake because I promised you guys that I would blog about my Holy Week Adventure and I'm pretty sure you guys are very curious about the title of this blog post.

Well, I spent my holy week at my grandparents' hometown, Pampanga. Actually, I've been annually spending my holy week in Pampanga. This is also the time when I get to see my cousins from the province because almost all of my relatives are from Pampanga.

I know you guys are wondering, "what does she do in Pampanga every year? Doesn't she get bored?"
Well, what does one do when she's in the province?? EAT...SLEEP...TAKE PICTURES...SWIM. hahaha
OKAY...Let's face the fact that I'm a city girl, I can't live outside civilization (just kidding:)) but that's how we call it) but despite the need for techie stuffs, it's also nice that once in a while, you take a break from all those stuffs and relax with nature, after all people were once techie-less, right? ;)

We get to see locals who do their annual "panata" (it's like sacrificing and reenacting the things Jesus went through before He died) and from the looks of it, the cross is very heavy :(

pool-side at night :) (no filter)

beautiful sunset by the fields  (no filter)

YES, we do have tiger cubs :) we also have mommy and daddy tigers ;);)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Every year, We celebrate our "Paule kids day". We started this 4 or 5 years ago. What we do during this time of the year is that we play games, give gifts and just bond and have fun with each other. This year, the host is my guy cousin. He was in-charge of every single game, of course our parents were the ones in-charge of food and prizes;) HAHA

See how happy we were? :) We were also joined by my uncle's sister and her family (because we could bring guests with us ;) hahaha

So if you thought that I only spent my week with fun and laughter...Wait for my next blog post to see a more spiritual side of my trip to Pampanga :) Stay Tuned :)
