"FILIPINOS CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS AFTER YOLANDA"

By Aellen Ross Daileg

Christmas is a holiday celebrated by all the people in the world.people give gifts and christmas cards to their love ones and "Aguinaldo"from every godparent's godchildren.it's a time to celebrate christ's birth.when it's christmas,the world is merry.but how can filipinos celebrate christmas after a disaster?
Last november 8,2013,typhoon haiyan or as we call it in the philippines "yolanda"landed on our country particularly in the visayas.typhoon yolanda literally left the whole island destroyed. A total of 5,796 people were killed after the storm surge.people from around the world and filipinos themselves felt weak and others also cried after witnessing the typhoon yolanda devastated visayas.Grieve from each and everyone's faces are clearly shown.Many lost their loved ones,their houses and homes,nothing really left.
How can they celebrate christmas?can they still celebrate christmas?
A lot of people from other countries and filipinos themselves o
ffered help to the people who were affected by the typhoon.some cancelled their christmas parties;instead,they spent their time and days volunteering for relief goods operations.it warms our hearts and we know,people from visayas are very thankful to all the people who have helped them and are still helping them to stand up and start a new life.
This way,helping other people is a way of celebrating this season of LOVE - CHRISTMAS that may soon put into every face of the victims a smile to world again.
"do services,even if it is in a simple way,love others more as you love god and yourself,one of the reasons we are here on earth is to strengthen our faith.difficult,dark days are a necessary part of life and give us an opportunity to build our faith more stronger.
the time is come w/us,so we nef to already conpess our sins.
"message of 1 of the typhoon victims from visayas.lds.member
thank you for all,thank you for a new start,thank for a new memories,and time to move forward"
hope i inspire you all guys
bye.

This week has not been as stressful unlike the past couple weeks. My Business 101 class ended last Wednesday. That class was a hybrid online and on campus class, and these classes have a lot more work required than a normal on campus class. A few special things happened this week. I was chosen to be a BYUI coach for the Fall of 2014 Cross Country. Malcolm Hong, an administrator of LDS Single Friends, approached me as the administrator of the Mormon YSA Blog Spot to share the best content to their followers. The track banquet was put on last Thursday. My ward went to a retreat this weekend. I didn't stay the night because I had work to do modeling a replica for my Building Information Modeling class. I had a date with a girl named Camille. She Is the most virtuous and adorable woman that I met. I don't know, if I should write a paragraph on our relationship. It's too early. I hope that it develops well. We went to listen to the touring series of 18 songs newly composed by D...
