Rhythm Relief
So many of us go through our lives getting so caught up on trivial things that we fail to recognize the struggle and misfortunate that afflicts those less fortunate.
On a Saturday afternoon on September 27, 2009, Typhoon Ondoy ravaged through Metro Manila in the Philippines, only taking six hours to pile a month's worth of rainfall onto the land. This accumulation eclipsed the previous record high from flooding in June 1967. Following this unfortunate occurrence, over 26 regions of the Philippines were submerged in water.
The impact left in the wake of the typhoon is undeniable, resulting in hundreds of deaths, injuries, and missing people. Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the damage done to their homes and neighborhoods.
Many of us have friends and family that were directly affected by what happened, and even though we are on the other side of the globe from the epicenter of destruction, that does not mean that there's nothing we can do.
For this reason, I invite you all to an event we have put together as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Donation boxes will be set up at various spots throughout the venue, with all proceeds will be going to Gawad Kalinga's Ondoy Relief & Rehab project.

In addition to donating money we will also be conducting a clothing drive, a collaborative effort with Jose from the Secret Service camp. Any old or unwanted clothing will be graciously accepted the night of the event, so while you are all cleaning out your closets and facilitating the transition to the Autumn/Winter wardrobe, you can take all the unwanted items you no longer need that are taking up valuable closet space and donate them.
For those of you busy or unavailable the night of the 24th but have clothing or any other donation that you would like to contribute, don't hesitate to contact us and we will be glad to pick it up.
Sorry people, this is a 21+ event.

"Yo Side Of The Bed"
"Every time she leaves it's my heart that she's takin from me
I dunno if she's gone for good or returnin in the mornin
cannot wait through the night cause I keep tossin and turnin
I want you to know that our bed, our sheets, our pillows get lonely
on...yo side of the bed...
...I just wanna breath your air
watch you when you're wrappin up your hair
gazin at the mirrors up there, I'm reachin while imaginin that you're there
awake through the night cause I can't help the tossin and turnin
I want you to know that our bed, our sheets, our pillows get lonely
on...you side of the bed...
...I don't wanna sleep if you ain't here..."
