Four days till my birthday!
Wala lang, just practicing my math.
Anyhoo, I don't think I've ever done a birthday wish list before. EVER. I'm making one now because this year is special, I'm turning legal. This is my debut into awesomeness! And to welcome the challenging years of adulthood, I would like to equip myself with the following armors that only you guys can give: faith, hope, and charity. ;-)
So, if you're one of the many amazing people out there who love me to the depths of infiniternity (That's a new word. I'm running on three hours of sleep right now, so we're inventing vocabularies. Deal with it.) and would not let July 10th pass by without showing me some lovin', I wanna save you from the trouble of wondering how to do exactly that...
1. FAITH: Plant A Tree, Help A Child
SOS Children's Villages - Lipa's "Plant A Tree, Help A Child" activity will run until September. You simply have to get in touch with their staff to schedule the event. If you're not from Lipa, you can also send payment for the seedlings via bank deposit. Like their

3. CHARITY: Donate Some Dog Food
From CARA Philippines:
Please continue donating the much needed dog food for the 170 surviving Laguna Pit Bulls. We need them to continue eating well so that their health will improve and their rehabilitation can continue. We are relying on you to help us with this mission.
CARA Philippines is one of those few NGO's that I truly, truly, truly admire. I wish there more people like Tanya Guerrero and the staff behind CARA. Their Facebook updates on the improvement of the conditions of their rescued animals are always heartwarming.
Like their page and donate.
If you're thinking, why should I spend money on dogs... maybe
THIS would enlighten you.. or lead you to have a change of heart. Besides, dogs are marvelous creatures. They're made of pure awesomeness. And you're a dumbass if you think otherwise, get the hell out of my blog.
If you're abroad or you don't have time to visit the offices/locations of the above causes, there's always the bank and PayPal. In case you've been living under a rock, there's PayPal Philippines so there's really no excuse not to share your blessings. =)
Now, since we have a little charity, I think it would be nice if we had some Cheriety, too. =)))))))) Wish List would be... Hmmmm....
Send me the
pirated e-book of
this and/or
this? And oh, maybe an advance copy of
this? And while you're at it, get me coffee a date with either
this hunk or
this cutie-pie. Rovilson has dibs, though, because he's an amazing speaker and I don't understand a thing Jihun says. =X He's just incredibly tall, dark, and intense. Just the same way I like my coffee. =)))))
Ktnxbai! ^_^
