We ran across our friend's article on the lessons learned from Typhoon Ondoy. Read the excerpts we culled from the post below:

Many of us use a lot of paper and wood products and like my friend’s country, we also cut a lot of trees.  But many of those that do the cutting, don’t necessarily consider just how much paper and wood we need. They just cut and cut and sell and sell, never mind if they violate or environmental laws.

And so the need for resource recovery.  The concept is just simple, anyway.  Create savings in our resources, meaning use the limited resources of our environment wisely, albeit not sparingly, but wisely.  Save the lot that can be saved. And avoid usage that could be harmful to others or to the environment itself... When you save, you have something for the rainy day... That’s added income, added profit... When you care, you are more careful... Then less harm, less hazard to the surroundings.

When you do something wisely, you do it efficiently and effectively... That’s increased productivity.  Now increased productivity, translates to more income, more profit for less effort and lower levels of waste. Read more about this post here...

An earlier post came from girbaudz. Read about it here...  and here...

Without music, i will die
Perchance a slow death
But die nonetheless
There is no hope, there is nothing

For me in this world
If you take away music,
My music, it is all i've got
Nothing else, fills my soul.

The Beijing Olympics 2008 is coming soon. Only last April 2008, the " target="_self">Philippine Daily Inquirer came up with a news item about syndicates in the Palarong Pambansa saying that DepEd Secretary Jesli A. Lapus is already doing something about it daw. I don't believe a word of that article. As if!

Looks like inquirer received payola for that, as in radio stations taking money from record stores and studios just to play the store's newest music that was sent out in the market.  Well, the syndicates in DepEd have been there, kumbaga, tinubuan na ng malalaking ugat ang mga hinayupak na iyan diyan.

My bro was a good athlete but in the 2005 Palaro in Pangasinan he was sidelined by the palaro judges kasi ang balita, may nagbayad na mas malaking skul just so their athletes will win kahit inde magaling!  Hayuuuuuup  maaaan!!!

Gets niyo to?!#%$%^%^

Sana tamaan ng kidlat apat na raang na beses ang mga members ng sindikato diyan sa hinayukap na DepEd na yan, at kung hindi sila masisindak ni Lapus at bagkus sila pa ang makakakaya sa mama na yan, aba di tamaan na din ng kidlat si Lapus na yaaaan!!!!  Mga ogags kayoooo!!!  Sindikato!!!!  Mukampera!!!!  Uloooool!!!! Magsilayas na kayo sa DepEd mga Demonyooooo at Animaaaaal kayo lahaaaat!!!  SHET!!!
