My birthday is tomorrow, September 29th. I don’t really feel like celebrating it because, if you haven’t heard, we’re in a state of calamity right now because of Tropical Storm Ketsana (Ondoy). I’m writing this wish list as an appeal to you, my readers. I know there’s not a lot of you, but I know there’s enough of you out there to make this worth writing.

1. For those of you outside the Philippines, Filipino or not, please send help via PayPal or credit card by going to Philippineaid.com. It’s a great initiative from Mike Villar, which I vouch for along with several of my fellow bloggers.

2. For those of you in the country, check out the different ways that you can help. Karen Ang has compiled a list of institutions and locations where you can send donations. Financial support is great, but it would be awesome if you can also give clothes, food, water and other necessities. You can also volunteer to repackage relief goods and, if you’re able, distribute it to the victims.

Voting for the Bloggers’ Choice Award of the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards is now open! Because I’m sheep, I initially thought “Hey, Lauren, Pau, and Ade have already voted for Mikey, I guess I’ll have to vote for him too because, you know, I’m sheep.” I planned on just collecting a bunch of Mikey’s retarded photos (well, EXTRA retarded because most of his photos are already retarded) and putting stupid captions on them that would make him look more retarded, but I thought maybe I should have a better reason for voting for him other than me being sheep. Also, I’m trying to spite Bim. After smoking a couple of cigarettes while giving the smoking area ladies the sexy look, I figured it out: I’m voting for Mike Villar because I BELIEVE IN MIKE VILLAR.

I believe that he’s giving the world the greatest gift of them all: The Gift of LOLs. His humor flies right over some people’s heads, and it even offends some people to the point where they feel that they need to “retaliate”. If you get what he’s trying to say, though, you’d be in for a LOLing good time.

I believe that he saves us from feeling bad about ourselves. We may think that our jobs suck balls. We may think that our relationships are doomed to fail. We may think that the sum total of our existence approximately amounts to NOTHING. All you need to do is read his blog and you’ll realize that your life isn’t as screwed up as you think it is. Also, you don’t masturbate in public.

I believe that he is not sheep like the rest of us. HE’S A WOLF! HE’S A FRICKEN WOLF WHO WILL DEVOUR OUR SOULS ONE DAY WHEN WE’RE NOT LOOKING! He blazes his own trails. He creates his own paths. He’s a pioneer.
