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?

Hope is the Thing with Feathers

by Emily Dickinson Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. *** I first encounteres this poem in grade school. I won't forget Row 2 and the rest of my Rowmates every time I remember this poem. :) They say that to be without hope surely means to have given up on life. Many people live in extremely challenging situations, leading hard lives in appalling conditions. What keeps people going in such circumstances is the glimmer of hope that things can change. This is all I got too. My faith has been challenged and my confidence has been put through the wringer Yet I know someday, it'll make perfect sense. Hope is a free gift. It exists for all of us. All we must do is not c...
