Hero of D Day: Because There's A Hero in All of Us

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I do believe that man is basically good. We are not war freaks that wreak havoc and chaos whenever we feel molested or treated badly. We are mostly reserved, modest and humble in both our attitude and our action. But what triggers us to do evil ways is an enigma that continues to puzzle me every time I hear a crime committed by a man against his fellow human beings.

I would like to believe there are more good news rather than the negative ones. Media has a way of being attracted to the terrible stories of hatred, lust and greed, sometimes extreme depression or passion, or that need to survive in a world where the rich continue to flourish and the poor remains an "isang-kahig-isang-tuka" living being whose only hope for survival means to cheat, rob, or kill.

This is why we also need to highlight the heroes within our midst. They need to be recognized and rewarded with even just a simple "Thank You", a handshake or a smile. We need more heroes to become an example so that others may follow their traits. We need more heroes to shine and be remembered so that this world will be more grateful of their efforts.

The Hero of D Day (HODD) organization aims to tell stories of heroism of even ordinary citizens doing what seems to be simple yet significant. Every simple act should be recognized and appreciated to encourage more people to do the same.

At a meetup dubbed as "Hero of D Day Huddle: Zero to Hero: A Hero Sharing Boot Camp"
held at the Commune Cafe and Bar in Makati, we set upon a task to share stories of these heroes for everyone to acknowledge.

Potts Point Cafe: Organic Made Healthy and Delicious

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Don't you just wish that every food around us were all "organic?" It's a healthier way of eating and living minus the harmful effects of artificial stuff that were used in the traditional way of producing the food we eat just because they are more convenient and easier to do.

If you really want to give your loved ones the best, provide them with healthier foods. You should not take them every week to a fastfood restaurant just because there's an adorable mascot. You should take them to restaurants that offer more nutritious food to keep them fit and healthy.

But what are organic food? These are food where "crops are generally grown without synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers, irradiation (a form of radiation used to kill bacteria), or biotechnology. Animals on organic farms eat organically grown feed, aren't confined 100 percent of the time (as they sometimes are on conventional farms), and are raised without antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones."

We want organic food that are better for us and the environment. Such restaurants that serves organic food is Potts Point Cafe, from the same people that gave us The Old Spaghetti House, Grilla, Swensen's and The Shrimp Shack.
