Earth, this is our home

In celebration of Earth Day 2011, your blogger made a video for you, nothing much--I believe you must have seen most of the pictures from your friends' facebook.

Note:  Kindly pause the music tab in the left side of your screen.

Thank you to all the owners of the pictures.

This year, we're all shocked and shaken by the tragedy that struck Japan, not only did most of our Kabihugs live and work in Japan but also because Philippines--Capalonga in particular was placed in a Tsunami alert, something most of us have not experienced yet...and I bet all of us wouldn't want to.  Some say what's happening to our planet was only due, we have not been responsible inhabitants of the home God has gifted us. But who wanted these things to happen?  No one.

So it's time to take action...be responsible, not only for our sake, but most of all for the next generation who might suffer from our lack of concern to our mother earth.

Little things would help.  Turn off the lights you're not using, use only the water that you needed, do not litter, do not burn your plastics, don't throw your garbage in the ocean...and a lot more that I am sure you all already knew.

In this regard, we're also inviting everyone to participate in the Earth's Hour on March 26 (Saturday) at 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm.  There's nothing special that we'll do...we'll just turn off all our lights for an hour.  Easy, right?

Also...

We have great news for you, Ms. Mercy San Jose Malaluan got in the search for Ms. Philippines - Earth 2011.  Pageant will be held sometime this May, so watch out for more news.

Don't she look perfect for the title? Go Mikmik!

Thanks to Ms Emerlinda S Gelvez for the tip

A candle for hope and courage

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the 'light a candle' campaign we've made for our Kabihugs in Japan.  Of course, we know we can do better than just lighting a candle or changing our profile pictures.  We can donate through various international organizations to help ease the situation in Japan, not just for the sake of our many Kabihugs working and living there but also to every one who lives in there.

But we can start from here.

You know how internet and facebook for that matter affect our daily lives, that we turn to our facebook pages to see who sent us a message, who posted in our walls or who posted pictures of everything that's happening around us?  Seeing pictures of our little tribute to our Kabihugs--of a lighted candle, brings smiles, hope and a lot of courage for this especially difficult times in their lives.

So go ahead and light your own candles in your houses...say a little prayer not just for the Capalonga population in Japan but for all of them Japanese, affected or not.  Or better yet, show them you care--that you have them in your prayers, in your thoughts.

"There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle."--Robert Alden
