Busy Saturday

Since I can't sleep yet due to the irritating noise of Zooey, I'll blog about my very busy yet happy and meaningful day. It started right when my team decided we go volunteer as re-packers at Villamor Air Base. As you all know, the Philippines has been struck by a very strong typhoon named Yolanda (Haiyan) recently and it crushed lots of parts of the Visayan region. On the bright side, help has been overflowing for the survivors and that's what we are most thankful of.

So going back to what I was saying, my team decided we volunteer after our shift. I usually get off work at 12 midnight so without any rest, we immediately proceed to VAB to help.

It was such a fun yet very tiring experience! We repacked rice, cans of cornd beef and sardines, coffee sachets and noodles. It was also nice to see that there were a lot who were willing to help.

It really was not an easy task. After the process of repacking, it would then be carried on to a truck that will ideally bring it to the survivors. I would say the entire pack is good for 2 days for the average sized family.

We packed for 5 hours and we were very tired but whenever you'd think of the people who are eagerly waiting for the stuff we're packing, then I say it's worth every pain and sweat.

HELP OUT AND DO YOUR PART. They accept walk-ins at Villamor Air Base, go to the gymnasium directly so you can help out.

After my very tiring morning, I had a chance to sleep for 4 hours so I took it and slept like a baby. But I had to wake up since Paul will be coming and will tag along Zooey. It's my turn to watch over our baby and I must say, it's just Day 1 and I feel like giving up already! Lol. But I'll just increase my patience and I'm sure everything will be fine. So going back, I made Mexican dinner for all of us and Paul and I played with our dogs the entire evening. Gosh, I have 4 dogs now! Here's a picture of my handsome love with my little pup Hunter:

So that's the end of my crazy day and I think I need to get some rest now before Zooey's tantrums would occur again. I remember Paul telling me it's a part of my #mommyduties! Haha.

Goodnight you guys! Happy weekend!
