another cyclone to hit Myanmar?

After enjoying a day of vacation last may 1, I went to work to fulfill all my task and reports for April. I was never aware that somewhere in the same continent where I hail a disaster is happening. Last May 2, Mayanmar was terribly smashed by a powerful cyclone that last for two days. More than 60,000 people were accounted as dead or missing. Although foreign aids were pouring, the strict security barred all these that resulted to low quality and quantity of supplies.

Today is already May 14 and there are still so many unaccounted in Mayanmar. The worst part is that another ‘terrible’ cyclone is forming near Myanmar’s area. This is the breaking news today from Amanda Pitt, the spokeswoman of United Nation’s humanitarian relief program. Although it is still premature to predict where and when will it become a full-fledged cyclone and landfalls, it’s still scary. This information came from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, UN’s World Meteorological Center.

These round of cyclones and earthquakes that had been rocking Asia made me really wonder what is happening. Last Tuesday, there were two EQs that moved the Bicol Region, another in Angeles City. Yesterday, a great EQ shook Beijing, China. Recently, another EQ shook Isabella.

Pangaea, is it?

Just a few minutes before posting, we experienced an earthquake with still unknown intensity. This is the second time, one intensity 3 at around 8:58 in the morning. In Angles, a 4.5 magnitude also rocked the city which is caused by the moving of Manila trenches. An officemate who is much into environment said that this is a proof that the continental drift theory is true.

Twice in a day is too much as we have already experienced too many calamities here in Albay. This is why I searched the web about the Continental Drift Theory. I gathered that Alfred Wegener, a German geologist in 1915 hypothesized this theory. In his findings, the Earth’s crust slowly drifts atop a liquid core which he supported with fossil records.

200 million years ago, the earth is made up of a gigantic super continent which he named Pangaea ( all-earth). It first broke into two smaller supercontinents during the Jurassic period, which he called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

These two supercontinents broke into much smaller continents until by the end of the Cretaceous period, the continents separated into land masses that look like our modern-day continents.

Here is an illustration of our modern earth

It may be true based on the fossil records presented by geologists. I believe this is called the natural order of things. But let’s not make it sooner. Let’s stop polluting our planet and do something so the next generations will still be able to enjoy what we are enjoying now. Amidst all the problems we have in politics and other personal grievances, let’s not forget that we need to take care of our very own existence.

Let’s practise throwing garbage at the right dumping area to keep it from clogging our clean-out systems. Next time you go to the market, refrain from asking more plastic bags; instead, bring the old ones you saved at home. Also, start buying shampoos and other bottled or platic-contained needs in bulk to minimize wastes. And the next time you go out with your friends or family, opt for washable dishes rather than the CFC-made disposables. Do your share, please…

GMA is back in Albay

Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is back in Albay to grace Oas town fiesta where she delivered a speech about the government plans in the province’ largest rice surplus generating town. She reiterated the friendship that Macapagal and Ricarte families have long before she became a person. She even announced that this is her way of celebrating her father’s death anniversary, which was just the other day. Imagine, the President all the way from Manila to celebrate something very important in a local fiesta?

It was afterall a good sign for all the Albayanos because the President even allocated 15M budget that will build necessary additional irrigations. She also ensure that the Oas town will have farm-to-market road in the next days as her form of thanking the industrious farmers who toiled more than enough rice supply. I just then knew that Oas is the only town in Albay which is not affected with the current crisis in rice! It was the first time also that I get to know about the Family Card Access, an identification given to families who can buy NFA rice in as low as 18.25php.

She even called for the province’ support to vote for Mayon in the recent Wonder’s of the World. This will surely bring tourists, and the more tourism affairs the more income is generated. Anyway, Mayon is one of the real bests in the world so why shouldn’t we support our own scenic pride?

Now, we are being given just the right attention, and this is just fair because for so long we were never given any chance to boom through the help of our elected Bicolano politicians. Thanks God Governor Joey Sarte salceda was elected! If not, what fate do we have here in Albay?

Overall, it is a great life….

Times like this are the lowest points in my life…. It seems I am in a futile battle against myself.

 

I’m turning a year older tomorrow and I have been reflecting about what I have done and what have I become.. I do this each year, religiously. There are so many good things I can recall doing that have made fruitful by-products. But I have also done as many of the otherwise. So many have crossed me, to which I turned with wrath. But then, it could be the other way, I may have been the one who crossed against the line.

 

At this point, I can’t help but cry. Cry for the people I have hurt meaninglessly. Cry for the people I should have fun with to this day, but choose to alienate myself. I cry for the moments that I could have been better, but choose to stay as I am. And most importantly, I cried for the person that I could have become….my dreams…..my good intentions……my family……my friends….

 

But I’m not even half my life. I can still make things better. I can still be the real person I am inside. And the day after tomorrow, I’m going to start my campaign. I’m done with all my pains and heartaches. An hour of hapless cry is enough for this year. I wish people can be nice to me, life in general…but I don’t think so. Life is almost always unfair and that can never be change with all the tears I have shed in my entire life. But that’s what makes life so much more meaningful. And I’m grateful for all the hurt it caused me…I am far braver and wiser now. And whatever life throws on me, I know I can take it standing and smiling……

 

 

 

 

Good service? Definitely not Digitel

I have so many plans with my blog site, hoping to improve it so soon so I decided to subscribe for a dsl. Currently, there are three strong competitors for this service in our area which does not include my chosen provider. The first one costs php999 for dsl alone. The second one costs php899 with an option of a landline phone service for another php300, plus an installation fee of php1999. The third is Digitel’s BIDA777 promo for both landline and dsl. I picked the obvious best value for my hard earned money, BIDA777. Believing I really made a good choice, I was happy to pay the php777 and was contented with the 3-day installation grace period to as long as 1 week. Then, their customer service representative was gracious enough to call me, confirming my subscription and promised that my landline and dsl will be installed later in the afternoon. That made me double contented!

But the later became a day and another day so I called them. Another promise went off the line: it will be installed the next day. But the next day went on without a sight of their technicians. Now, I’m disappointed! I sent a message to the sales representative to help me follow up my subscription but what I get is a simple ‘please follow it up in the office; I’m in a different area now’. So I have to call again just to hear another promise: we will follow it up and will make it available before the end of the week. The long week is now over and I’m really furious! My sister is now the one following up because I cannot trust myself to hear yet another promise.

Thanks to my sister’s demanding voice, now I know that they don’t have enough connection port. They are still waiting for supplies and that means I will also need to wait! Gee, don’t these people know the value of SERVICE? Imagine I have been waiting for them to activate my connection which will never happen as of this time because they actually don’t have the capacity and the supply to provide. I hope they had at least called me up. Tell me the truth and assured me of when will be the real time, day, and date the connection will be available so I won’t need to expect. And I thought communication people are great!!???

HEAD UP HIGH GMA

If there is one thing I really love about Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA), is her firmness amidst all the controversies she had and still is facing. I remembered the first time she went out in public with her famous ‘I am so sorry’ apology in the most contentious presidential election fraud, which she won. There was no admission that there was deceit in her part but just a simple and sincere public apology for the moral issue that it caused. Then, as if nothing happened, businesses resumed on her part and started moving on to her plans and projects.

Again, the Erap Estrada presidential pardon was another controversy that GMA faced firmly. Amidst all the talks of both pro and anti pardon, GMA faced it all when she finally declared pardon to her political rival. Everyone sees it as a political move, of which she strongly denies to be fair and in good faith. Then again, after signing and declaring that the pardon is pushed through, GMA goes back to her silence and move on like nothing happened.

As if all these are not enough, GMA is then again assumed to have knowledge in the ZTE scam. After admitting openly that she had noticed something wrong with the documents, she then again left the public seeking for more. In the middle of senate hearing and the calls for her to resign and step down, she remains firm that she never had anything to do with all these moral issues.

What she does is pursue all her projects that she says will make the country a stable one in terms of economy. And true to that, we are moving on but we have a long way to go; which leads me to think that if we don’t unite then we can’t expect for something better. You see, poverty is always the dark side of a populated country even how big the land area or high the literacy is. So instead of going out and shouting on the street why don’t we just make ourselves busy, like maybe blog? Lol
