At the beginning of the year, my friends and I took a trip to La Union, Philippines to go surfing. This is our most awesome and accommodating host, George Tisoy. He is the man.

This morning, I celebrated Philippine Independence day by blessing the people of Ayala Alabang with songs about freedom, hope, and the like - while wearing the most appropriate pair of shorts. Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!
…well, no, not really. but i did wear the shorts.

TO OUR TUMBLR BUDS WHO ARE STATESIDE,
I’m sure a number of you have already heard about the horrendous effects of Tropical Storm Ketsana (Ondoy to us over here) on our country, the Philippines. Many homes and belongings have been completely lost or severely damaged, some areas are still submerged, the body count has reached 140 and there are still many missing people and undeclared deaths. Although thousands of Filipinos (especially the impoverished) have already been rescued and are currently being housed in various evacuation centers, they are in dire need of food, water, clothing, and other necessities. These people have lost everything they’ve worked for, and they need our help.
Some of you have already contacted me through email asking me how you can offer assistance from your side of the world. As of now, the simplest way to do it is by contacting the American Red Cross, the cornerstone of international Red Cross operations. They have been working closely with our branch of the Red Cross for the last few days. If you have the time and the means, please dial their hotline, 1-800-435-7669, and ask how you can make a contribution.
Please, please show your love, American Tumblr buds! What you spend on one meal can already go a long way here in the PH. We need this more than any amount of liking and reblogging right now.
Thank you!And thank you to those of you who have already expressed concern for us! :)
In trust,
the Philippine Tumbloggers
