Pledge for Healthier Children Now!

Written on August 13, 2010 by Liz in Campaign, Health

Health is wealth!

This banner says it all!

I love kids and I want to see more of them each day – happily playing because of healthy living. I’m not a parent yet and my youngest sister is already in Grade 5 (Yeah, sorry. I forgot her age and I’m too lazy to compute. All I know is her birthday and grade.) but it does not hinder me from joining this campaign. I have already posted my pledge about introducing healthy foods to children such as vegetables and fresh milk. As a matter of fact, I’m interested to feeding program and would love to join if there’s any.

Let’s build a healthy and wealthy nation through this precious children and us, concerned citizens. Help me spread the word! Visit Palamantasan and drop by the Pledge Tree for your pledges!

SWORD Extends its Influence

Written on June 18, 2010 by Liz in Blog Review, Blogger, Blogging, Contests, Internet

You don’t have to be a “person of influence” to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they’ve taught me. – Scott Adams

If people will ask me, “How long is your life?” I will definitely shrug and tell them, “I don’t know.” But if you are to ask me, “How far is your influence?”, I can definitely answer, “Great and afar!”.

Some may disagree, but I will insist. I am not conceited, just logical and coherent. I am not the best blogger out there but I am the one of those who influenced. You might ask, HOW.

This blog was establish last December of last year with an intention of sharing insights and different reviews. As much as I don’t want to include personal stuff here, I can’t help it but post some from time to time. And I realized that it makes things effective. If you really want to influence other, a touch of personality can yield good result. Attach emotions. Invoke opinions. Highlight conversations. And yes, you can start a commotion just make sure that you can end it in a nice way.

Who are the people influenced by SWORD?
Family – This blog inspired me to continue be the best sister to my siblings and a good daughter to my parents. If a mother, or father, or any family member is to read this blog, for sure they can find ideals that will strengthen the “family ties” that has been there ever since we were born into a Filipino family.

Friends – I consider this blog more powerful than my Facebook wall. Updates here are more consistent compared to FB and my real friends appreciate me for talking a lot so I am channeling the unspoken words into writings. As a matter of fact, I was able to convince a friend of mine to start blogging because of this.

Acquaintances – Random bloggers may come and go to this sweet home of mine. With their reinforcing comments and notable remarks, I know that somehow, they were able to find something precious around.

I have been passionate in blogging about ongoing campaigns too and I think that is the best thing about SWORD, spreading the word and letting the world know about the most important happening, sharing what I have and lending a helping hand. Most of all, encouraging everyone that TOGETHER, we can make a difference.

SWORD has received positive reviews from different bloggers in the blogosphere. Whether they are forced or not, I still appreciate the linky love. The latest one is from Yuuki:

My pen is this SWORD!

Thanks sis! Thanks to Arwin of Winziph as well for considering this blog influential and nominating me as one of the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010.

No one needs to please me to make me happy. As long as I am appreciated, I can go on with my life. Even if not, I won’t bug you for that.

People always say that the PEN is mightier than the SWORD. Let me tell you then: My mightiest PEN is this SWORD!

I will greatly appreciate those who will answer this question: Am I able to influence you? How?

Walk the World – Pilipinas Isang Hakbang 2010

Written on May 28, 2010 by Liz in Campaign

This world is full of issues and dilemma that are sometimes so difficult to resolve. We can not address national problems on our own, but together we can make a difference. To walk my talk, I am now blogging about a very exciting global event: End Hunger: Walk the World!

Let us join the World Food Programme (WFP) in its advocacy to end child hunger and malnutrition. A 5-kilometer walk on June 6, 2010 can greatly help those who are in need so prepare your walking shoes and prayerful hearts.

The fun run and walk event in the Philippines will take place at Bonifacio Global City with an aim to end hunger in conflict-affected areas of Mindanao. See more details here.

You can also find the nearest walk event to your place by visiting walktheworld.wfp.org. Don’t wanna sweat but wanna help? Simply join the VIRTUAL WALK.

Spread the word! Let’s walk the world!

There Is Happiness in Welcome House

Written on May 17, 2010 by Liz in Campaign

My most remarkable outreach activity is distributing school bags and kits to schoolchildren who have been victims of Typhoon Ondoy. Last Sunday, I got the chance to mingle with the kids again and be part of the “Changing Lives” campaign. It was my, rather our first time at Welcome House. Through the initiatives of Ma’am Chel (our Director) and her friends, Welcome House was built and sustained for nine years. Its primary goal is to discourage parents from letting their children work and send them to school instead. Since they have financial challenges, the sponsors continuously support them. The best part of it is the yearly program of giving them school shoes together with school bags and things. I am so happy to be part of this event! As a volunteer, I found joy in being with children and sharing a helping hand to the less fortunate. I even got acquainted to Rochell Umali, a shy kid who became so happy after I gave her the bag and shoes aside from the prize I’ve won (well, my team’s) from the game. I’ve got no photos to share as of the moment, just overwhelming thoughts and a caring heart.

Update: Here are the images grabbed via FB

Few hours from now, Mother’s Day will be over but it does not mean that we should stop recognizing the great moms and other remarkable people around us. Make every day memorable by lending a helping hand!
