• Dove's Campaign For Real Beauty http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/ - this definitely tops my list. I got teary-eyed upon seeing the ad, with the song True Colors playing on the background. Well, because I know sometimes I can't help but be superficial and take too much time grooming myself, hating my flaws. But this taught me that real beauty comes in many shapes, sizes and ages. And that you're beautiful, just the way you are.
  
• Gawad Kalinga http://www.gawadkalinga.org - this is something that makes me proud of being a YFC and super proud of being a Filipino. The song "Hopeful" is playing in my mind right now. Coz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today. Take this music and use it, let it take you away. Coz we're hopeful, hopeful that He'll make a way, I know it's not easy but, that's okay, 'cause we hopeful. No more slums. No more violence. No more poverty.
  
• One Campaign http://www.whiteband.org/ came across this group when I was interning as a journalist in Libre. One of the reasons why that OJT is so special to me because it brought out the advocate in me. Just standing up for what you believe in. Anyway, this campaign, more known in our country as GCAP - Global Call Against Poverty. End Poverty Now! Be part of it and MAKE POVERTY HISTORY.
  
• 100% PURE
  True Love Waits. 0% Alcohol. Virgin and Proud. Another reason to be proud as a YFC. Yes, it's iffin' hard to live a 100% Pure life. It's a constant struggle along the way. But hey, to all of these, we say, "Yes, Lord!"
• Save the Barako Campaign - http://savethebarako.org/ it's also something I wrote about while interning at Libre, but I just really thought that whoever thought of that campaign was brilliant. I mean, if you live in a country where rare, exotic coffee beans can live, why would you let them go extinct? The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness about the plight of the Philippine coffee industry and to help save a rare coffee bean variety with a rich Filipino history. I'm no nature hippie, and I don't drink coffee, but I think this is something worthy to get involved in. Just visit the site, if you may.

Yeah, sometimes you just gotta stand up for what you believe in, because who knows, your little voice may just create a big impact in this world. And of course, if we want to live in a better world, we gotta start change, in our little ways. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "Be the change you want to see." If you're interested in any of the advocacies I posted, c'mon, it won't hurt to visit the site. You visited my blog, try going somewhere more causeworthy for a change. And enjoy!!

Well, after a few more entries I just might go back to being the shallow, easily-pleased, can't stop talking about shopping girl, but I have to admit, it does feel good to write about these things once in a while. Not for one second did I even swoon and interject something about my lovelife in this entry. Snaps for me :)) Maybe I should do this more often...
