Got stranded in Shakey’s Espana today for 6 hours because of the flood. Sheesh.

I’m glad I got home without getting my shoes wet though. Heh ;]

I was watching TNT’s Inside The NBA (May 11 episode) earlier and the show’s hosts (Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley) weren’t wearing any shoes. Charles Barkley even had his toenails painted red. Heh. The reason for their not wearing shoes is to raise awareness for Samaritan’s Feet. And no, this isn’t a sponsored post. Hehe.

Samaritan’s Feet’s mission is to give 10 million impoverished children worldwide 10 million shoes in 10 years. Taken from the organization’s website, “Samaritan’s Feet is a humanitarian non-profit organization dedicated to taking a life-changing message of hope to people and equipping the feet of impoverished children in the US and around the world with shoes.” The founder of the organization, Manny Ohonme, received his first pair of shoes when he was 9 years old. To think most of us already had our first pair even before we were born.

I don’t like walking around the house without my slippers on. Imagine the people who have to walk around outside barefoot because they don’t have anything to put on. Imagine them walking barefoot under the burning rays of the sun. Imagine them walking on grounds that have things that can injure them. Have you seen asphalt roads when the temperature’s really high? Yes? Walking barefoot on the beach is hard enough. Imagine people walking barefoot on asphalt.

Having shoes is not as important as having food to eat, but I think it’s great that there’s an organization such as Samaritan’s Feet. I don’t have anything I can donate right now and posting about this doesn’t really count as “spreading the word” cause I don’t really have a lot of people dropping by here, but, I certainly hope Samaritan’s Feet, together with all the people who are trying to help the impoverished around the world (including those in the Philippines) in different ways, succeed.

I’m in Seattle right now. Actually I’m in Shoreline (north of Seattle). HEHE. I don’t really have an internet connection here at my aunt’s house. Which sucks. And I can’t go to my dad’s apartment to use their connection there because the bus stop is far from where I’m staying. Gah. Anyway. This is just a quick one. Saw Joshua! Big boy that Joshua! HEHE. And our flight got cancelled so we had to rebook. Will update again next time.

It was Kuya Jo’s (Alo’s cousin) 21st birthday yesterday (March 29th) and his family prepared a surprise party for him. It was a fun night and a really hot one too. We were all sweating and we sure looked wasted. Hehe. We took lots of pictures. We sang videoke too! Went home past 5am. Boy was I sleepy! Hehe. :)

Oh, btw. I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 with no hassle. WP-admin looks good, my friends. HEHE

I went swimming with my friends today. We started swimming at 11:30AM and ended at 2:30. HEHE. We managed to take pictures. Thanks to custom timer. HEHE. They slept over at my house last night btw. Magic sing! HEH. I had fun. My skin hurts a little though. Hehe =)

I already know some of my grades. I think I did OK this past semester. =)

PBB! I heart Robi. HAHAHA.  And Alex is supot. =P

I’m quite tired right now. I think I need to go to bed now.

Later!
