“Me and all my friends, we’re all misunderstood.
They say we stand for nothing and there’s no way we ever could.
We see everything that’s going on with the world and those who lead it.
They say that we don’t have the means to rise above and beat it.”

- John Mayer, “Waiting on the World to Change”

All my friends (and even those I don’t know) volunteering, helping in relief and rescue efforts, coordinating, donating, and even TWEETING are reasons enough to show the world what OUR generation is all about. And even though there are some who aren’t moving (like my own cousin who said, “Weekend na siguro”, and hides behind his girlfriend), WE are all testament to the power or real people movement.

I’m honored to be part of my generation. The same generation everyone else used to doubt.

We’re cleaning up your mess, assholes.

I remember a cool story: A little girl saw that MILLIONS of starfish were stranded on a beach and dying. One by one she began to pick some up and put them back in the ocean. An old man came up to her and said, “What difference does that make? You can’t save them all.” The little girl didn’t stop, she just kept on doing what she was doing and when the man left, she stopped and said: “It makes a difference to the ones I save.”
