Silent Auction In Trinoma

There is joy in giving. With the recent plight of our countrymen in the Visayas region, both whom have been victims of the huge earthquake in Bohol; and typhoon Yolanda who's ravaged several provinces in that area, Ayala Malls wanted to give more to rebuild their homes and community.

Up for grabs are items from the best fashion and beauty brands and much more. This will be held on December 19, 2013 - thats this Thursday 5PM at the 4th Floor Cinema Lobby in TriNoma, EDSA corner North Avenue, Quezon City. 

Rowena Tomeldan of Ayala Malls, Thelma San Juan of PDI and Citcit Sioson of Look Magazine.

This event is brought to you by AYALA Malls, in cooperation with Look Magazine, Inquirer Lifestyle and AYALA Foundation.

I'll be there too, so I hope yo see you on Thursday! :) 

Update: I'm here now in the auction and am really excited about the items I did bid on.. Hope to win some of them! :)

I would have bid on those Sebago shoes but it's gonna be a tight fit at size 10.

This Apple TV is also a steal at 2,495, hope no one bids over my price.

This shirt and pants is a little procey for me but since it is for charity, who cares right? 

A quartet of Philippine Madrigal Singers were there too to sing lovely Christmas Songs during the launch!

Hurry shoppers! You gotta run to trinoma because this will only last until December 22! Just proceed to the Cinema Lobby right beside the carousel.

For Victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan

400 hundred people confirmed dead and hundreds more still missing; that is the thing that made my day miserable yesterday. It was horrific; just to see the actual tsunami take over the city of Tokyo, the Miyagi Prefecture and other provinces in the outskirts of Honshu. My heart was broken seeing people still inside their cars as they are being swept away parallel with yachts and fishing boats. Survivors desperately climb up their houses and wave white cloths as helicopters try and save whoever they can. There are still a lot of people under debris and probably having so hard to keep themselves alive after those set of waves that ravaged the country. My condolences to everyone in Japan. To the Japanese people, I only can do much but I am so heartbroken... I adore your country and your citizens... I sincerely hope you get through this.

Oh Haiti!

When I woke up this morning to get my regular dose of chocolate drink, I was dumbfounded when I heard in the news that there was another earthquake in Haiti. Not just a simple aftershock because this one registered 6.1 in the richter scale. It was almost as strong as the first one they had that toppled almost the whole capital. I was worried about the casualties that we had (I mean the Philippines) because as it turned out, the missing 3 UN workers actually died and was just recovered yesterday. There is total chaos in the region because of the thousands that died and they could not even get them accommodate on local cemeteries. Some of them literally leave their loved ones outside the streets to rot because they are not able to preserve them anymore.

It was not a sight for a cup of Cadbury Chocolate Drink but good think I was strong at least I was able to still finish the drink.. But boy it was not a pretty sight to see!

I pity those who perished and the people they left behind. I wish there was something we could do to speed up the rescue efforts. I wish them well in the days to come because the last thing that they need is another earthquake!
