Charity Work good or bad?

Have you ever wanted to support an organization for a cause? or atleast donate to charity yet you're still having second thoughts about their legitimacy, well you're not alone on this one if you'll ask certain people in our country, the reason why they have doubts about helping certain groups is because of the number of scammers lurking around, stating that they are a new charity institute but are actually sindicates, another reason why some of us are satisfied not to help charity is because of the thinking that you yourself can help! of course this can be true in certain cases like some people I know that conduct their own charity work using their own money and choosing the people that they like to help, the negative case that we can site for this one would be giving alms to beggar's I'm not saying it's bad but with my recent experiences, some of these people use begging for their livelihood since it is not illegal and does not need any requirement of some sort to earn money,some of us think that by giving a certain amount of money to these people will help them, but actually we are just making them dependent to this source of income, the side effects of such acts has already showed some bad results, an example I could give are the children who would wipe your shoes during the months of September to December and the one's that would give envelopes and sing, at first I thought that these people just needed a bit of help but eventually they started multiplying and that's when it struck me that hey they are actually considering this as a job, after sometime some of them even developed attitudes such as getting angry at you for not giving them money or food and even cursing you or spitting on you, even worst sometimes they would snatch stuff just to get something from you. these things happen because of the things that we thought would be good but actually has bad side effects, remember the Chinese proverb "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." what we are actually doing is just giving them fish thus making them dependent. these are just some of the reasons why a lot of us have restrictions in helping other people, but still there is still a part of us that would love to help, so what shall we do a good example would be to do charity work ourselves, by saving up our money and giving it to a charity that we know and consider legitimate and has had good effects like the orphanage they have good effects because they raise children to become good citizens, still having second thoughts about loosing money to charity then why not participate in such activities like Auction's held by known organization, you get something nice in return for the donation that you have given.So why not try? if still in doubt why not do some research and here is a good place to start www.unicef.ph.

To Tito

  It has just been a month since my cousin has left this world for a better place and I thought pain will not struck at the same time, yet it did! another person close to my heart wonders away into that eternal land. To Tito Rod, Even though you were never of blood relation to me you have always been the best Tito in my life, you were one of the persons I could chat with that was sensible enough not to contradict my logic, I am very  thankful for having you in my life,Thank you for all the knowledge that you have imparted on me, for being one of the few people who actually believe in my capabilities, for patiently teaching me how to play chess, I dreamed of winning against you but now It seems that it will never actually come true. I have always been thankful for your support and guidance during my childhood years, you managed to strengthen my resolve against bullies in my life, I remember this one time that I cried because of a comment from some of our neighbors, yet you've manage to scare them off by telling them not to do that, since I was actually studying Karate and that I am still young and eventually have the skill to beat them up when I grow up. That gave them the scare! I have always considered you our defender during my childhood when certain relatives from my Fathers side would take advantage of our families weaknesses and even though we grew up and had the strength to fend for ourselves, I still look up to you as the big strong man who was there, ready to help us in our time of need. I will miss you Tito, During these past few weeks I still accidentally look for you at the compound gate, you always did ask me about how my day was or where I went, whenever I come back home, then reality bites me that you were still at the hospital fighting for your life. I was not expecting that this would happen, since you did respond to me when I asked if you were feeling better on your second day at the hospital, so I thought that in a matter of weeks you'll be fine. you've always been strong and It pained me so much seeing you like that in the hospital. I'm sorry for not being of much help to you during your time of need, But as you've always said "Don't dwell on the past" right. Thank you Tito for all the lesson you've thought me, for all the encouragements that you have given me and for all the memories that you've added to my Life, You are one of the people who have influenced me to become what I am today. I'll miss you so much! you were like a second dad to me(well you are my "Ninong" afterall!).no words can describe how you've helped me survive, Thank you Tito Rod, I know that you are now in a better place.

                                                                                        Love from your Godson
                                                                                                 C.A.O.T.

An Adamant Darkness

Impervious as it seems the hold of right is inevitable to the likes of thee, destruction is set upon to those who can do none but kneel. their end is coming of near, what shall ye do?
alas the darkness set upon the Black King is growing more and more powerful. Holding to the last remnant of light that she has the Mistress of Life clings to the small and remaining power that she yields, not knowing when and how long it's hold will last, still praying for the rise of her shards. Praying that they still have the ability to mature and muster enough power to hold and void the Black Kings hold upon the land.

My best's Agony

I just can't stop laughing yesterday due to a certain situation that happened to us at the mall
