Merry Christmas

Well for those who can, have yourselves a Merry Christmas! I hope we can learn to be grateful of the things that we have, the time that we can enjoy, and the happiness that we feel today. Let us not take these for granted because A LOT of people will actually die for even just 5 minutes of our lives.

Victims and relatives are suffering right now. They cannot have their usual noche buena, and they can only depend on the help that well-off people like us will give. You know... I just can't help but think that these people will benefit mostly from the PBB house. I just read a few articles about all the PBB housemates since season 1 and most of them are actually rich and have decent or even high-paying jobs (save for a very few who are actually being depended on by their families and really needed the show's prize money to carry on). Instead of watching FHM or commercial models, business owners, half-Filipino half-Whatever hunks and babes... I think it would warrant an Oprah episode if Philippines would reinvent the Big Brother franchise and turn it into a very unique and charitable reality show. Well I'm not really sure if it's okay to do that. I'm not really in the position to say this since I'm not creative myself, but in my honest opinion and maybe just speaking as a television viewer, Filipinos in the entertainment industry are losing their creativity. Franchise this, franchise that. And what's really really annoying is that only the good-looking men and women are getting richer. Or okay, not good-looking but as long as you have those great muscles or double D breasts - YOU'RE IN! About time for someone to step in and tell me, "who do you think you are, talking like you're all great and mighty criticizing other people?" okay, time to shut up. Just expressing my opinions, so sorry for anyone who got offended.

I just feel really bad for the victims... and not to mention that I know at least 2 people who died 2 days before Christmas. It's really depressing to see a coffin inside the house instead of a festive noche buena. Makes me feel so lucky that I'm still here and I can enjoy with the people I love, eat delicious food, or express myself in facebook or a blog... while some people are literally spending Christmas on the streets.

Anyway, apologies for the depressing post. I really just had to. :)
