Tulong Ko, Pasa Mo (Pay it forward)

Leave a reply

Every night, I’m the last one to leave the office bringing with me assorted garbage for the day. And almost every night, I would see the same person sorting garbage at an adjacent street. I remember last Christmas, a friend of mine who works in a noodle factory gave me about 50 pieces of noodles in pouch. I kept it inside my drawer and forgot to bring it home. One night I decided to give it all to the man and handed him a TKPM (Tulong Ko, Pasa Mo – Pay it forward) card.

This is my husband’s brief TKPM story he wrote for UNLEASH seminar workshop in 2008.

The Philippine National Red Cross listed the following important items to donate to typhoon victims.

relief box

  • Bottled water
  • Ready-to-eat meals in easy-to-open cans (ex, Philippine Red Cross meals)
  • First aid kit (with topical anti-septic, bandage, anti-biotic ointment, etc.)
  • Medicines for diarrhea and other common illnesses
  • Hygiene kit with toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, anti-bacterial soap and sanitary napkins (packed for a family)
    Clothes suitable for tropical climate
  • Blankets and mats
  • Cash/G-cash and tents for relief organization

If you don’t have the means to donate, you can offer your spare time by serving as volunteer in a repacking warehouse. You can also sell some personal items that you no longer need, you can cook or bake and donate the proceeds to legitimate organizations.

Gone are the days when blog buttons were made to only “accessorize” or add a dash of personality to a blog or website. These days, blog buttons are created to express personal advocacy or a cause. They are called statement buttons.

At Squeesome Designs, they do personalized and unique statement buttons apart from web designs and various other services. They also offer premade blog badge, word arts, sidebar titles, and statement buttons for free.
