My blog has turned four yesterday, and today, as much as I want to write something light and entertaining to my readers, please allow me to take this opportunity to reflect and somewhat show some kindness to my fellow Filipinos especially those who are affected by the super typhoon Haiyan (also known as Yolanda) in Tacloban, Leyte.

10,000 people have been killed, thousands of lives were affected. In this time of crisis, WE, people from all over the world regardless of race, gender or religion, should all stand united and show compassion by extending our helping hands to those who are currently in need. Foods, water, clothing, medicine, services…any act of kindness, small or big—they all matter.

So a huge THANK YOU to all those who have pledged and helped! And for those who are planning to send their aid and donations…a huge THANKS to you all too! It is never too late to give your love.

On how to help and giving assistance, please check this link from TIME and look for the list of various NGOs and relief organization: http://world.time.com/2013/11/10/how-to-help-typhoon-victims/

At this hour, I’m also asking EVERYONE to show respect by not posting any hurtful or offensive acts in your social networks. Please check this link: http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/15926503-after-haiyan-10-things-filipinos-shouldnt-do-on-social-networks

Last certainly not the least, let me leave you a video about a tearful Philippine climate change representative who pleaded with the world to take immediate, drastic action to reduce climate change-causing carbon dioxide emissions in an emotional speech at the UN’s climate meeting in Warsaw, Poland. Watch the emotional video here.

Do you still remember the ex-MTV VJ Asia “Utt” Greg Uttsada? Well, he was in the news again recently with an alleged masturbation clip that surfaced the internet.

According to the article published by the Bangkok Post, mainstream media later ran details, and commented on the likeness between his tattoos and those that Utt has. One unkind site parades the clips as the ”real reason” why Utt lost his job with MTV.

However, the webcam footage of a young man doing a “self-service” was denied by Utt himself. ”I’ve come back permanently after 14 years away, only to be confronted with similar questions to those I faced last time I left,” he said. “Í don’t know what to say, I’ve answered this question so many times already, except that I feel sorry for the person who appears in the clip. I can confirm it’s not me. It’s all old news now, but I keep meeting claims like this.”

To see is to believe, right? So to “slake” your curiosity, here are some of the screen grabs from the said alleged video scandal. You be the best judge. Express your thoughts in the comment section (;-)
