Eleven Things to do Before The New Year


Here is a list of things you should do before the new year:

1. Rummage your old stuff. Those still good but you rarely use, put it in a bundle. When you're done, call ABS-CBN, GMA Kapuso Foundation or any group you trust and give the bundles to them.

2. Food that you did not consume in last night's Noche Buena, put them in clean containers. Go out of your homes and bring food to the needy. They need you this Christmas.

3. If you still have time, spend it with the lolas and lolos in the Home for the Aged. For those who want to bring cheer to kids, go to Boys and Girls Town in Mandaluyong. You are needed there.

4. If you have some money left, give it to your favorite foundation. It will help a lot.

5. For those living near evacuation centers, please, at least spend an hour of your time today, and bring them food and some clothes. Or, if you don't have it, like me, just sing them a song and cheer them. They need your lovin today.

6. Visit your parents. Spend quality time with them. Tell them how much you love them.

7. Make a list of friends you argued with, those whom you severed your ties with, and give them a gift. Don't forget to light the fuse. :-) Just joking. Ask for their forgiveness and heal your rifts with them.

8. Meditate for at least one hour. Clear your mind of negative thoughts and visualize what will happen to you and your family next year. Don't forget to visualize a clean and honest and violence-free elections, okey?

9. Visit a nearby park or nature preservation. Have a picnic. Appreciate the beauty of what God gave us and thank God for giving us this world. This is the only earth we have. And tell yourself that I will help preserve it.

10. Read the Bible or the Koran for my fellow Muslim brothers or the Bhadgavat-gita for my Hindu friends. Be illuminated with God's light. Ask for God's guidance. Seek His Wisdom. And pray for those who are in need, who are orphaned, who were widowed and who were seeking justice. Pray. It helps.

11. Smile. And share that smile with the world.
