Christmas is only less than a week away but I can hardly feel its spirit because of bad news from my best friends and also because of the disaster that striked my homeland, the Philippines.

Last Saturday, typhoon Sendong hit the northern part of Mindanao(Cagayan de Oro and Iligan) and caused severe damage to the farms, houses and it also caused the lives of 900 plus people and there are more than a 100 plus still missing. This is really one of the worst natural calamities that ever hit the country.
