☼ Climate Change ☼

“We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there. We should feel a great sense of urgency because it is the most dangerous crisis we have ever faced, by far. But it also provides us with opportunities to do a lot of things we ought to be doing for other reasons anyway. And to solve this crisis we can develop a shared sense of moral purpose.” Al Gore

CLIMATE CHANGE...

“Is it on?! The gods probably turned the heater on or left the cooler on for too long!”

Remember those Greek Mythology movies, were people used to summon Poseidon the water attribute god to bring water to them and how about those Indian movies where they would do the rain dance to call up to the rain god and bring water to their farms. In our case, we can’t do that…if that were possible I am dead sure there would be a healthy business for dance schools all over the country! You would ask why in the world I speak of water. In climate change, water is one of the vital parts that are deeply affected by climate change. A good example would be the North Artic. Imagine, if that thing melts, not even Mt. Apo can save your precious self and your laptop from getting wet.

Oh-okay! oooh-okay! Enough of the scary stuff…Let’s analyze what we can do instead of pointing fingers. I assume all of you have heard facts like “did you know you can make a computer out of tin cans?! Blah! Blah!” but my question is, have all of you bothered to try it? And the probable truth would be a “NO” and yes, even I, which am why I speak of this now, for all of you to be aware of the reality of this problem. But I am expecting not just to be aware but to participate in helping with this crisis. So here’s the boiling point question, what can you do and can you get something out of it?

Let’s face it; during these changes in our environment most of its cause is in tagged with money to be frank or business to make it formal in the ears of the public. Yet, we still can talk business while saving our planet, *HUSH*. A lot here must be assuming of building a recycling plant or something. But that’s the things I had in mind in the first place. But what can we really do, so we’re short on money for funding, any bright ideas?! So that would leave us to our only option which is to go small scale, which is the reason why I’m bringing this matter to the mass. That if we can set our first order of business that is to be a responsible inhabitant of this place called earth, this crisis will be fixed in no time. And in terms with money?! Let me break it down for you, why in the first place our food suddenly went up in terms with price, which is the supply is low and why is the supply low? Because of sudden changes in the weather, why is that? Due to pollutions and other all sorts of actions that hurts our planet, and what does it has to do with our climate change again?! It cracks down our ozone layer and boom there goes everything. Domino effect in every wrong moves we do, now you do the math on what are the possibilities if this get worst, start by imagining losing our very own first line of protection which is the ozone layer.

This logic applies to all, if I would bring up every example that I can come up to, the Arctic would have already melted by the time I’m done. If this can be reversed or to be prevented at least, we can sleep again without even thinking how much galunggong would be after a month or any other such products or services.

Ice age is not so far from happening if that occurs. So if you’re genuinely concerned or just plain scared what are you going to do about it? It’s not rocket science for us not to understand and apply what we should be doing now, all it needed is us to be responsible and be consistent to what we are about to do, that is to save our planet from ourselves.

Valentine By: Kina Grannis




Lyrics:

KINA GRANNIS - Valentine lyrics

Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse to put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse to put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

: have a Happy Valentines! :)

Ee Cummings : I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME ♥

* discovered this from an inspiring movie "In Her Shoe" ☻

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

What is LOVE?

"What is love?" I think it is more than merely passion flowing, more than just emotion’s gain, more than the sense of flesh on flesh. For one, it is an opening of the heart, so very hard to describe. It is compassion, yet it is self-interest too. It is giving, yet it is receiving. It is caring, yet it is letting go, saying yes and at times even saying no. It is to empathize, yet to realize another must learn to feel for themselves. Yet it is even more somehow.

Love is commitment, yet love is also a setting free. Love is inspiration, intuition, joy. Yet it is also heartbreak and loneliness and solitude. Love is the trembling excitation of newness, and the shaking of the grief of loss. Love is a slow and steady pace, yet too, it is the exuberance that makes us want to run and dance and sing. Love is ecstasy and misery, sureness and confusion. Love makes us feel as if we could do anything, yet love also makes us feel like nothing at all at times. Love is being light-headed and dizzy, yet love is feeling heavy and as if about to die. Love is the slow and steady heart, yet the flutter of its racing too. It is freedom, yet it can also be the bars of a prison found deep within, can it not?

Love is ageless and timeless and without dimension, yet love is here and now in this moment of forever. Love is ancient and new and ever-becoming. Love is what we always and ever and never can have, for love is dynamic. Love is the worth and the meaning and the quality of hope and hopelessness. Love is the glory of enlightenment and the darkness of unknowing.

Love is the sleeping and the dreaming and the waking. Love is real and yet invisible, felt and yet the deepest mystery. Love is existence and its annihilation. Love is the question and the answer ever changing. Love is what we want to do and have to do and refuse to do. Love is pain and comfort too, the illness of disease and also it’s healing. Love is the beauty of perfection, yet the difference of disfiguration.

Love is the height and the depth and the width, yet love is immeasurable. Love is darkness, love is light. Love is emptiness and fullness, the yin and yang - forever and always distinct yet flowing within and through and with each other. Love is the yearning for life and the illusion of death. Love is continuance in time and time’s obliteration. Love is its own beginning and ending and becoming.

Love is wanting and needing to gather them in your arms to comfort them, but not being able to; knowing that any touch, even the most loving, will only bring them more pain. Love is standing back and allowing them what they need the most, even if their need is to die, to move on, to let go. Love is carrying the great burden of having been helpless to save them. Love is letting the wounds heal, that someday they might heal cleanly, leaving only loving memories instead of scars. Love is allowing them to lie in bed when they are too weak to get up; lifting them into a wheelchair when only their eyes are left to speak to you to tell you what it is they really want; then rolling them back and forth through their house because you know that, even in such a state, their eyes still really do work and need more than just one ceiling to stare at, day in and day out. Love is letting go - to let go the hope of their medications when they are no longer able to swallow them. Love is signing the DNR so that the doctors can no longer just prolong their misery.

Love is sad and love is sweet. Love is tender memories. Love is one last kiss on the forehead of the beloved before the coffin is closed. One more touch of a hand now grown cold. Love knows that every moment, every year, and every tear have really mattered beyond any hint of dissension. Love is forgiving them for having been human and having to leave first. Love is treasuring the good times that lie hiding in your memories.

Love leads beyond obsession or possession. Love sees the light inside forevermore. No matter the darkness controlling their limbs or their minds. Love stands up and takes a beating in their place without complaint. Love burns us up inside, thus allowing us to start over - again and then again.

Love is a star in darkness growing - a great illumination of the soul. Love claims our hearts and won’t let go again, no matter what infraction some cold society might try to blame and shame us with. Love is knowing when to walk away, and knowing when to stay. Love is empathy so deep that we must feel each pain, each joy, and each great distraction that the other feels, in sync. Love is an insanity that never ends, the craziness to take a risk, the despair of the most lost and lonely moments of our being. Love is intuiting the fact that silence can be the most honest statement of all, instead of choosing to use it as a weapon. Love is holding in the letting go while letting go control. Love is a peak when the entire world senses harmony and peace drawn from the chaos of the universe. Ever expanding until it breaks down yet again.

Love is living through the pain they left behind. Blindly absorbing it until its form and substance have a chance to really change. Love is letting your mind drift over the embellished moments of agony that must come, soon or late, of any real relationship. Love is saying, "Yes, it hurts. It hurts so much," while clinging to the truth that this too, will surely pass. Love is the frenzy and the arguments, but most of all the making peace again.

Put OUT of your MIND...

* I would like to repost this one here.. though i have posted this in my recent blog site specifically the friendster blog. i don't know where did i get this famous poetry but up to now it's still beautiful to read specially to those people who can relate.. :)

FORGET HIM!

Forget his name, forget his face
Forget his sweet words and warm embrace
Forget the love that once was true
Remember now there’s someone new

Forget the way he used to talk
Forget how you memorized his walk
Forget the fights you two had
Remember now he’s happy not sad

Forget the times he made you cry
Forget the times when he was by your side
Forget the way he spoke your name
Remember now things aren’t be the same

Forget the love that once was shared
Forget the fact that he once cared
Forget how close you two were
Remember now he has chosen her

Forget the days that went so fast
Forget them all they’re just the past
Forget the promises he gave to you
Forget him girl, for he has FORGOTTEN YOU!
