Yes, I am sure many of you out there already finished wrapping their gifts to their loved ones as early as November, or maybe since September (the traditional BER month) And WE all know that our country once again face the most tragic calamity of the year ( are we going through this every year?....????) December is the most celebrated month in our country- the joyous, the most colorful event...(but NOW..NOT FOR EVERYONE) 327 DEAD 380 MISSING (not official) 62,607 FAMILIES or 294,110 People are affected since typhoon Pablo hit the southern part of our country. Let's stops blaming...let's start sending our gifts. No matter how small it is, it cost a "little smile" on their faces. Good day dear Philippine Mylotters....keep up the Spirit Enjoy mylotting everyone 12-06-2012 Thursday 4:56pm PT

Good day dear Philippine Mylotters.... Don'e we deserve it Jai? I have my X'mas rememberence from the age of 7-8 to 20-22 and that was my golden time for X'mas and I never had so much pleasure after the age above 20. Even now, the past rememberence and the memmories of those days are feeling better, than celebrating on these days. Yes, Philippine got badly affected by natural calamity and hoping that all are recovering and the new X'mas season will help everyone to recover from those day's fear and losses. Wish you in advance and hope we will meet again close to X'mas.

Glad to see you again thanks I have been watching the news and scanning through the files from TV stations link, youtube and all. I cannot describe the feeling right now, I feel broken, I wanted to cry. The place is too far from me my relatives are safe, my family are safe, my friends and people that I know personally are safe... But- those people out there lost their loved ones, family,friends and relatives- not to mention their belongings...and everything they have... Sorry, I am too emotional when it comes to this...

Jai sis, pity to hear your country was facing with another typhoon problem again. Hope the necessary authorities will be able to take the necessary action to help saved as many people as possible. Sometimes, action is the best gift during the time of emergency. Sending gifts during this joyous time can brings some happiness to them.

Jai , i am waiting for the gift ..LOL ! Yes , despite those calamities , let us stand up , heads up and show to everyone that we still can survive with so many great things to thank for ! Let us not surrender for it was just a test to see how strong can we stand as a nation . Overflowing love , concern , support of all people local and abroad are enough reason for us to hold and sail on with life's tide. We can and we will ! United we stand and divided we fall. This had happened so many times yet we were able to stand up because of the help one one another and the Faith of the Filipinos to our God.

hi jai. With all the warnings and preparations, mostly are hoping that this time we would at least avoid counting lifeless bodies but it turned out otherwise. Blaming won't help so let's just extend anything that we could to help our hapless brothers and make them feel the spirit of Christmas despite the trials they've gone through.

I agree! blaming others wouldn't help but instead we should help those people who were affected by the typhoon Pablo. It is just so sad that during the Christmas there will be typhoon that will happen just like the Sendong last year in Iligan City and now Pablo.

It's really sad and I agree that we don't have any match when it comes to nature's wrath.
