Greed sometimes turns to bread...

Today is Valentines day.... I'm not usually celebrating this day. I always consider everyday a "Love day" coz I have my family, friends, and my honey. I always look at this day as an ordinary day...

A while ago, while working I recieved a mail coming from UNICEF. Actually it was mailed by BPI(Bank of the Philippine Islands). They are asking for donations (via Credit Card... *sigh*) for support in their projects, which is to prevent the death rate of mothers and babies here in the Philippines. Noble cause but I told myself I am also in need... I have alot of wants... I still have so many dreams....

But things took a turn and I flushed away my greed, and started reading the letter. The mail is actually compose of a letter, a sort of a "book-catalogue" about the information of the death rate here in the Philipines, and a Business Reply Envelope. All materials are made up of cheap recycled paper... cheap.. yes it was all recycled.... but indeed it was full of meaning... full of love... full of care... full of art..

I never thought that I'll be moved.... I was not moved by the pictures... nor the statistics... nor the mother's and babies.... I was moved because I realized I'm very blessed to be where I am now. I am moved because I realize that while I eat my breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there are families begging for food. I realized that all my wants and material dreams are just luxuries... and not necessities.... I realized that there are alot of people in dire need of love, nourishment, and care... I realized that I have "more" than what I should have... I realized I have spare.....


Lastly I realized that the least thing that I can do is to share....
