Believe it or not: Free CFL by Philippine Gov’t

It was Black Saturday when I saw the light. We were in SM Dasmarinas when I got attracted to this booth while Marcus and I were waiting for wifey. Chatting with the personnel manning the booth I discovered that they’re giving away FREE, yes FREE, compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) to anyone who will bring [...]

Beds are burning video

I’m currently burning the midnight oil, well at least until another hour from now. And out came from the very low volume setting of my stereo is a familiar song which I think I first heard several years ago when possessing a padded Billboard audio cassette tape is still the “in” thing. Not finding the remote, [...]

Never been glad to wake up still at home

It’s one of those days when I prayed like never before and this morning was proof somehow that God still answers fervent prayers. I woke up still on the same bed with my wifey and kid beside me and not somewhere else. Last night, I slept with an uneasy feeling thinking that a typhoon [...]

A hypocrite will save the environment…

A couple of weeks ago, I had an interesting exchange of argument coming from one of those who commented my Facebook note (linked from my blog site). My then FB friend digress from the main topic, Dead but not gone which is about Cory Aquino, and the discussion went from good to bad. It ended [...]

Earth Day request from Greenpeace

“The optimism of action is better than the pessimism of the thought.” – Greenpeace activist I admit I did not realize that today is Earth Day. I’ve been occupied with travelling from one place to another – I wish it was abroad – that I only learned about Earth Day just this morning over [...]

Jogging in Bacolod

I have come to realize that I haven’t seen or lived at any place that seems better than Bacolod when it comes to jogging or biking. Let me prove that. During my first years in Manila, I lived somewhere in Alabang. The village where I stayed has only four main roads. One will [...]

Be a pro-earth Christian this Holy Week

I don’t know how to react exactly to last night’s news. The TV patrol reporter introduced the news, “…dagdag pasanin na naman sa mga deboto (additional burden again to the devoutees)…”; at that point I was expecting to hear something really bad. To my surprise, the well-emphasized “pasanin”was just about a Php 20 (less than [...]

Of writers,national pride, and the environment

Sorry if I’ll write one more on this but I really can’t get enough of the Chip Tsao issue or at least relate some things to it. So out of curiosity yesterday I asked my wife to get me a copy of the Philippine Star on her way home from work. My main purpose? [...]

Fast

It’s just two and half, and yet almost everything has happened so fast. Friday. We went to the beach – it was Marcus’ first. The weather was crazy as it was forecasted to be one hot sunny day. It indeed looked like it in the morning but just before we left the weather changed. [...]

Earth Hour, anyone?

I was attracted to this thought-provoking blog and my curiosity got me reading it. Despite being a self-declared environmentalist and a greenpeace wannabe, I seem to understand where the blog’s author is coming from – she’s fed up with all the hypocrisy and hype. What I find funny though that after reading the blog [...]
