OHWELLHELLO there, stranger.
Lemme' inform you that you're currently setting a foot on my wonderland.

Everyone is always welcome here.
But, once you've hopped in, you are required to follow my rules.
This blog was opened by me to accomodate my mindless
musings and daily rantings.
Do enjoy your stay here, but please don't take what's not yours!

So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered.
Annyeong hashimnikka, world. I've watched Signos yesterday. :) I felt pity for mother Earth. :(( That's why I'd like to join the protest to stop climate change and global warming. "Great things come from small beginnings" — we’ve heard this a million times before that we’re no longer even sure who said it to us. Nevertheless, the more important thing is that we put it into heart.
We, as Filipinos, have recently seen our fellowmen in Luzon suffer from the catastrophic effects of climate change. We’ve encountered heavy rains before, but not this much. We’ve witnessed floods in the past years, but not this disastrous. The tandem of Ondoy and Pepeng has claimed the lives of more than 700 people and damaged P18 billion worth of infrastructure and agriculture. While we may have helped the victims by sending cash, clothes, food and other relief goods, there is another thing that we can do, and that is to help prevent further damage due to climate change in the future. We’re not prominent world leaders nor high ranking officials in environmental groups, but we are citizens of the Earth. We need to take action, even in our own little ways.
Here are some of the ways we can help:
1. Turn off the lights, especially in the office. Many of us are careful about this in our homes, because we pay the bills. However, most do not really bother to turn power off when leaving the office. We may not be paying for energy in the office, but we could be paying for the consequences of inefficient and irresponsible use of energy in the future.
2. Unplug. A lot of home and office equipment still use up energy even if turned off. Unplug them and make sure you only use energy when you need it.
3. Cut fuel consumption due to travel. As it is, transportation produces more greenhouse gases than most other sources. How do we reduce our fuel consumption? Live close to work, or work at home. Since that may not be an option for everyone, the next best thing to do is use public transport or carpool. That would mean less fuel consumption for every person traveling.
Of course, we also need to call on our country's leaders to pass policies on clean energy and develop technologies to achieve more efficient energy use. Write letters, join campaigns, post a blog entry and let our voices be heard. In the name of Blog Action Day 2009, Davao-Base calls on every Dabawenyo, every Filipino, every person who reads this to join the discussion and take action.
After all, great things come from small beginnings, right? I am not denying the fact that I am also one of the cause of climate change. Using aircons, hair sprays and doing such improper disposal of garbages. That's why now, that I already realized the possible effects of it, I want to join the protest to help stop it. I hope now that you've read it, you can also join us by just doing your own little but great ways of helping. Thanks for reading this post, by the way I hope you can watch Signos on Q. It can really help us feel the pity for our only home, mother Earth. Annyung!

She's a heart breaker. <:)
I'm on my road of being an optimist.
Who's that girl? It's Joanna!
I'd turned fourteen years young since I landed on this wonderland called Earth.
A four-eyed social hot-tempered teenager who doesn't look her age.
A moody, active, cool but snobbish person. I'm somewhat a bore at times.
It's easy to make me laugh, and to make me cry. I'm a cry baby.
I tend to be possessed at times, especially if I can't get what I want. *evil smirk*
I'm a professional liar. I sleep during classes.
Slightly scary with the fact that I eat a lot and still stays skinny.
I'm still in love with cartoons and kiddo stuffs. I'm still a child at heart. ♥
Living life normally with pride and dignity is what I aim for.
My family and friends are my pillars of support.
I'm an aspiring doctor.
It's been my dream to become a doctor since when I was in preschool.
I love my family, they are the best. I can't live without them, I really can't.
Oh well, before I forgot I have many fears.
I'm Katsaridophobic, Felinophobic and Acrophobic.
I can still control my fear of heights,
but when it comes to my fear of cats and cockroaches, I can't.
So don't you dare give me some of it, coz' it really pisses me off. >:(
I'll shove my foot down your throat if you do. LOLJK.
