Wala lang… that all too popular phrase of many meanings.
“Anong ginagawa mo?”
“Wala lang…”
“Bakit ka makulit?”
“Wala lang…”
“Basta, wala lang…”
But somehow, as Filipinos, we get the meaning and continue carrying on with our day-to-day activity.
What’s the point of today’s entry? Beats me. But I am tempted to say - WALA LANG…

All my life I have been exposed to church work. Having grown up in a Bible College and being a preacher’s kid I have come to understand how complicated faith is. But in its complexity I find appreciation. Now, I am inspired that other groups have taken an active stance in social issues - issues affecting the vulnerable in society. I find this article interesting…

Being with the social welfare and development department provides you with the opportunity to be involved in many socio-developmental activities. There are areas of concern that I think need some attention:
1. Street Children
2. Child Trafficking
3. Violence Against Women and Children

I read Erwin’s article on how bloggers rode out the storm. I, too, saw and felt the fury of Milenyo. We were at the UP-ITTC for an FOSS/PCLinux Seminar when we felt the full fury of Milenyo. However, true to our IT calling, we did not mind the 130 kph winds and 160 kph gust. We did our best to absorb what PCLinux and its applications had to offer. Like the storm we ravaged through the course sans electricity. We went back to the old whiteboard talk (chalk-talk to others) trying to visualize what icons to click when we wanted something launched from the application.
As I said, we did our best to learn but the howling wind and the torrential rain was too great a distraction to most of the participants. Some were amazed at the raw power of Milenyo while others shook in fear. At 3:00 pm we unlocked the chained doors of UP-ITTC and walked towards our waiting bus-admiring the new landscape. Too bad we were too busy looking at the tipped over poles, uprooted trees, blown-down billboards and the newly leaf-carpeted roads to take photos.
As they said, we were affected by the Milenyo Bug.
