My Article is Up on the Philippine Jesuits Website! :)
Hi guys! :)
I recently wrote an article called 15 Pet Perks of Ignatian Spirituality. It's based on the 15 Pet Peeves note going around in Facebook. I thought of putting a more positive spin into that writing exercise and integrating some insights and experiences as an CLCer (Christian Life Community).
Part 1 of the article is now posted on the Philippine Jesuits Site! Yaaay!

The Kythe Real Love Shirt Contest: Fighting Cancer by Showing Real Love to Kids with Cancer
I think there's no one in this world who does not know a relative or a friend who has cancer.
I never met an Uncle of mine because we lost him to leukemia at a very young age. He was just a few years younger than my dad. My dad remembers him as a very brilliant and affectionate brother. He was my dad's playmate but since he developed leukemia, he was bedridden and could no longer play. It was even more painful since both of their parents were doctors. At the age of five, my Uncle Erlando died of leukemia. Because of cancer, I never met him in person. I only see his very small grave in the cemetery at every visit. All I hear are stories about how wonderful he is and I can't help but wish that I met him as well.
I still can't imagine how hard it must have been to suffer from cancer especially at such a young age. One day you're full of dreams and so ecstatic about the world but then it all crashes down when you get diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly it becomes an everyday frightening battle to survive. You're forced to grow up as an adult and face painful treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Like my Uncle Erlando, these long term treatments have forced kids with cancer to stay at home rather than play outside like other kids.
In honor of my dear Uncle Erlando, I decided to help out Ms. Janette Toral to promote Kythe Foundation, an organization that helps out children with cancer. Psychology students from Ateneo formed Kythe Foundation to provide psychosocial support for kids with cancer.

Project Headshot: RAW
One of my favorite bloggers, Robbie of thecreativedork.com posted a photo advocacy called: Project Headshot: RAW. This project was initiated by thedailyblah.co.cc as a response to the growing vanity and superficiality of the world.
With media flooding us with beautiful pictures (beautifully enhanced pictures :P) of models and socialites, we sometimes end up hiding our flaws and enhancing our photos as well. We get so obsessed with putting the best profile pictures on our YMs and social networks. The pressure to look perfect, especially for celebrities, can be overwhelming.
Picking up from Glee's Britney Spears episode, I applaud Britney for releasing untouched photos alongside her enhanced photos as a celebration of her own flaws:
