The erupting Taal volcano on the main island of the Philippines has caused indescribable chaos, with almost half a million people ordered to evacuate the surrounding area. Since tons of ash from the volcano destroyed houses and infrastructure, killing crops and livestock that residents depended on, thousands of people, soon to become hundreds of thousands, have been forced into evacuation centers that are struggling to provide basic necessities.

Although the situation looks bleak at the makeshift shelters where evacuees are staying, people are striving to pass the time and make each other smile by dressing up in the strangest clothes they’ve received as donations. In the rush to get supplies to victims of the disaster, people have been tossing everything from party dresses to work uniforms into donation boxes.

While not all of these stranger donated items will go far to help people get back on their feet, they’re at least providing a bit of entertainment to the people stuck in the shelters.

    Lols.. We Filipinos always look at the brighter side. Every year we always face typhoons, flooding, earth quake or volcano eruptions etc. But one thing were always been proud of, We always find Hope and Happiness in every situation which motivate us to stand up and start again no matter how bad the situation is. Life goes go on.. might as well do it with smile =)

    That looks cosy. All that's needed is a cup of hot chocolate and then cuddling up to the soothing sounds of a fire spewing volcano.
