Earth Hour 2010


Where were you when the lights turned out?

I hope you were in relative darkness, which meant, that you too, are involved in the efforts to foster a 'mindset of environmental consciousness and climate change awareness'.

I was on my way to Araneta at that hour. Before I left home, I already gave reminded Mama and Papa to switch off the lights and participate in the Earth Hour, and they both agreed. :) I am just happy to see Mommy Luchi and Rhian leading Earth Hour in the office and switching off the lights.

I find it fulfilling to participate in such cause. And happy to know that according to Wikipedia, Earth Hour 2010 is reportedly on track to become the biggest Earth Hour yet, aiming to garner more than the one billion participant goal of 2009's Earth Hour.

Cool right?

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked.

He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
