It's been another tough week for Filipinos.

Following the wrath of Typhoon Rolly last week, Ulysses (int. name Vamco) hit the Philippines hard with heavy rains and monsterous winds, flooding cities and toppling over trees that have been around for decades. Heartbreaking scenes took over social media—for those lucky enough to have power and signal—as thousands of people struggled through the country's latest tragedy.

While we pick ourselves up, it's good to take a little breather and let ourselves get distracted with good things. Take care of yourselves out there!
