Quatre - "Typhoon Frank" Aftermath

Typhoon Frank is now officially gone but its aftermaths will forever stay in our hearts and minds. Franks "left us hundreds of people dead or missing across the Philippines" and "only 57 have been found alive since the ferry tragedy of Sulpicio Lines MV Princess of the Star went down after sailing into the eye of the typhoon on Saturday with 849 passengers and crew on board" (inquirer.net).

As I watched the news on T.V. of the people losing their loved ones, hoping their missing family are still alive, asking for help, I can't help myself but feel pity. I realized, once and for all, that we really do not hold our lives, we do not know when will it be taken from us. And I thought that we should make the best out of our lives. Let us take every day as our last day!

So guys, I AM ASKING FOR YOUR LITTLE HELP for those of our brothers and sisters, our fellow FILIPINOS, who are suffering and enduring from the aftermath Typhoon Frank left. 

Let's give them a moment of solitude and reflection, SAY A PRAYER for those families who lose their loved ones, houses and properties and for those who are still missing.

Also, if you have an extra money, please don't hesitate to give donations to those victims of this tragic calamities, after all, we're all brothers and sisters.
