Global Warming Awareness

I recently watched an episode of Naked Science in National Geographic Channel. It’s all about the pending new Ice Age and it’s effect to human race in terms of sociopolitical and economic aspects. They said that the world could be in track for a new Ice Age. This means a danger for the human species. The ongoing Global Warming could possibly trigger it. How so? The melting polar caps release fresh water to our oceans that could possibly disrupt the ocean currents which regulates our climate. They said it could happen in as early as 100 years!

I think it’s a serious issue and a huge threat to human life. Everyone should pay attention to the signs. It’s not like some lunatic’s prophecy. This is the real thing. We are talking about scientists and evidences. We all know that the polar caps are melting and there sudden changes in the climate – nonstop hurricanes and floods.

So do your part in neutralizing global warming. If there’s a way to evangelize the possible effects of global warming, then do it! If you’re an organization leader or someone with a position, then use this power to influence others about the ongoing environmental issues.

Awareness… That’s what everyone must have to realize what are the dangers impending.

The Power To Change Our Lives

I don’t know why but I feel like I can do anything to change my life and make my dreams come true. I don’t feel like it would be hard for me to realize my goals! Just after I finish my business course, I will take Theatre Arts and Political Science and Law and Archeology and History and Physics and Music and Literature and Fine Arts and Architecture! Just anything that would make me feel happy with what I’m doing.

We have the power and right to change our lives. We can better than whom we are today. I feel like if each of us just knows what we want, this world would be a greater place.

This power I’m talking about does not only come with intelligence or mental prowess – It is more of a combination of emotional strength, wisdom, intelligence, courage, passion and the desire to achieve something.

Just look at Thomas Edison or Florence Nightingale or Dinah Washington - they have succeeded in their own fields not just because they are intelligent or talented, it is because they have passion. It is the “it factor” that burns inside us, that makes us move forward, that makes our eyes bulge in excitement or our mouth talk in awe – it is the thing that keeps us going even if we see no reason to continue at all.

The future is an opportunity – seize it!

Courage To Be Better Than Who You Are

I just watched Nights In Rodanthe and it was a great movie. It’s amazing how two people who are total strangers and who are on their adulthood find love and save each other from their own crisis.

I learned a thing or two from the movie – that is what Adrian said, “There are different types of love in the world.” One of them is the kind of love that gives you the courage to be better than who you are, not less. The one that makes you feel like you can do anything, even the impossible.

After all this time – I’ve been broken and remade – I still think love is so fascinating – It’s very surprising. I’m not just talking about the love between two strangers; it’s about love in general – family, friends, daughter, son…

One thing – love changes people, it can either be for good or for bad. But it is when somebody changes for the better that makes the love worthwhile and amazingly perfect.

Watch it, you’ll never regret it.

Friends & Fun!


I am now officially engaged to my friends and I will marry them next year! Imagine that…

Well, I’m just kidding. For the past weeks, we’ve been having so much fun! Can’t imagine a life without them! – Boring? Quiet? Serious?

Times with them have been crazy, wild and fun! – And fact – They’ve ruined my life (my time & budget too!), but I’m fine with it!

Just going with the flow…

I’m Addicted To Facebook Applications!

Just for the record, I’m officially addicted to Facebook’s Farmville! The idea of having a farm where you can plant and harvest and design your own farm is just entertaining.

Just so you know, I like planting strawberries because I like the way it looks when they are ready for harvest. I also like adopting pink cow & black sheep (whatever I’m talking about – I can harvest strawberry milk from pink cows!).

Add me as your farm neighbor (only if you’re playing Farmville!).

How To Let Go Of Someone You Love

by Aurura Lavender

I found this very beautiful article from the Helium.com. Read and be inspired!

If you truely love someone, you can and will let them go but it won't be from your heart, mind, thoughts or dreams. I've found that out the hard way. If your love needs time or has things to figure out and do. You'll let go, if you love that person than the number one thing you care most about is thier happiness. If that person never returns, then you know they found happiness.

It will hurt and break your heart but in the end your happy cause they found what they needed...wanted.

Maybe over time you won't feel your love for that person as strongly, at least not up front. It seems to always be there, the trick is learning to live and continue with out being with the one you love.

I've been in love with someone for over a year and still haven't been able to be with him. At first there was so much pain, so unbelievibly strong. Not only did I feel it in my heart but my chest ached. It felt like someone was crushing it, standing on my chest. There was a feeling that he was being ripped out of my heart...it took my breath away. Every place I went, everything I saw or heard reminded me of him. A picture of his beautiful face would pop up in my mind. Tears constantly fell. It was the most painful thing I have experienced and I've had two kids and several operations.

I had to remind myself that he was happy, he was doing something he needed to do and that helped a lot. I kept myself busy and removed everything from every day sight so I wouldn't think of him...see him. I even went as far as to try to stop loving him, turn my love into anger, just to get him out of my heart...out of my thoughts. That only hurt me even more. I was so lost, I didn't know how to move on. But then it came to me, I accepted the fact that I loved someone I couldn't be with and that might not love me. I stopped fighting the feeling and went along with it. Yeah I kept his pictures out of sight but never threw them away. I kept busy until I went days without thinking of him all the time. It got to the point where my thoughts of him wouldn't make me sad or cry but make me smile. There still will be moments that I cry for him but sometimes that helps.

I still love him, more than words can explain. I can still see him perfectly in my mind even though I lost his picture long ago. I still whisper my love to him when I go to sleep, even feel him next to me. I may have let him go but my heart and soul hasn't and may not ever but thats ok.

You can take down all of that persons pictures or anything that reminds you of your love but you will still see them, think of them and love them. There is no "how" to letting your love go. It's not something you can make happen, it's not something you can force or even have a choice in the matter. Love will leave you when it's ready to but you have to accept it either way, just to continue. Love is intense, deep, something that can't be taken or given lightly and can't be turned off. How do you let go of love? Don't try to make it leave, accept it and live. Your heart will do the rest in time.

If I Could Live Again

I love my life right now - Even though it’s always here and there. But some times I wonder what if I could live again? What If I could change at least five features of my life? I think I know what exactly those five things are.

1. I want to have an older brother or brothers. Having three older sisters suck - most of the time. I guess it’s the reason why there are boundaries. I can’t imagine myself confiding things to my sisters.

2. I want to have a red & curly hair (Yeah. I have brunette straight hair). I want curly hair – you know - the afro ones. That’s saving time because curly hairs don’t need to fix their do’s. And red headed leagues always stand out in the crowd.

3. I want my name to be Hector or Paris. Paris sounds like a reserved person. Hector sounds like an outspoken person. Either way, I like them both.

4. I want to live in the medieval era – right where the great kings and poets lived. I’m just fascinated by the whole royalties and romance and greatness and honor ideas of those times. Wouldn’t it be great seeing Marie Antoinette or Casanova or even Louis XVI?

5. I want my eyes to have different colors – maybe smoky grey on the right and light brown on the left. I think it’s amazing – it’s like looking at a person’s two personalities. (Green and blue too!)
