CNN Hero 2009 EFREN PEÑAFLORIDA

For the past 12 years, Peñaflorida and his team of teen volunteers have taught basic reading and writing to children living on the streets. Their main tool: A pushcart classroom.

Stocked with books, pens, tables and chairs, his Dynamic Teen Company recreates a school setting in unconventional locations such as the cemetery and municipal trash dump.

Peñaflorida knows firsthand the adversity faced by these children. Born into a poor family, he lived in a shanty near the city dump site. But he says he refused to allow his circumstances to define his future.

"Instead of being discouraged, I promised myself that I would pursue education," he recalls. "I will strive hard; I will do my best."

CONGRATULATIONS EFREN! YOU MADE US PROUD TO BE FILIPINO

Love Won't Let Us Be

MyNiceSpace.com

So many answers,
Looking for the reason to believe
Search for what is real
So many reasons,
I try to find the one that fits my heart
Trust in what I feel
You and I
we find ourselves not knowing who we are
Different worlds apart

Time will lead our way
Heaven's kindness is there for me
In my heart, you will always stay
Cause love won't let us be

Think of all the moments
Remembering the precious times we shared
The love we used to have
If i see tomorrow not brave enough,
That it's not you and me
I'll learn to set you free
So afraid,
knowing that its time to say goodbye
Will i realize

Time will lead our way
Heaven's kindness is there for me
In my heart, you will always stay
Cause love won't let us be

What i feel
Is something that no words can ever show
Its part of letting go

Time will lead our way
Heaven's kindness is there for me
In my heart, you will always stay
Cause love won't let us be

Love won't let us...... be

The Art of Letting Go

I know in my heart.. I will never let go...

Not feeling too well

MyNiceSpace.com

I am not feeling too good for two weeks now. Got flu despite of the flu vaccine. With all the body pains, fever and above all losing my voice due to dry cough. I know now what Ariel the little mermaid experienced. It’s just so hard to communicate if you have no voice. I hope and pray that I will completely feel better soon. Until then. It sucks to be sick.

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

Hail Mary full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary mother of God. Pray for us sinners. Now and at the hour of our death. AMEN.

LAPTOP SLEEVES

Ever since I own a laptop, I have been looking for a nice laptop sleeve or bag. When we purchase one, We are given a default laptop bag, usually the black ones but that also means that whoever bought exact same model will have the same bag.

Searching in the net, there are lots of really nice and cool laptop sleeves, however, they are either very expensive or not available in our area.
As for me, I want a laptop sleeve or bag that protects against scratches and impact damage yet, also stylish and functional.

Finally, I got myself one I found at SM store. I also bought a matching case for my digital camera and a bag to complete the set. I really love the color (girl na girl).
