 " GRATEFUL FOR THIS LIFE "

 "Traveling messes you up, but in all good ways. It leaves you always craving more an addiction that can never quite be met. Every place, every trip, every person is a new adventure pulling you deeper into the love of wanderlust. Your heart begins to hurt when you're standing still, and your mind begins to itch over the idea of new places you haven't been. Fill your soul with adventure and travelling and you will live a fulfilled life." 

 

A photo of this was taken a years ago with my family, when we travel on bacolod and sipaway islands this picture was so memorable to me because it was so fun and enjoyable having with my family on this. It was really pleasure and grateful for this bond especially with this, having a family its so lucky because they make me happy all the time, taking me somewhere that I never go before, learning new things, and mostly exploring new surroundings that made me go excited and can’t wait to go

there , and sharing these moments of family trip is a fun idea of being united and having fun together it is exemplified through these informal pictures about a family.

 

CLIMATE CHANGE: STILL THE GREATEST CRISIS OUR WORLD IS FACING

This past year was, in essence, in a statistical tie with 2016 for the hottest on record, with temperatures driven upward by the warming effects of human activities that spew carbon and other greenhouse compounds into the atmosphere. 

Some climate scientists argue, that the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2005 — including each of the last seven years — suggesting a steady pace upward that could push the average global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels within the decade. That, notably, is the level at which scientists believe nature will deliver even more dire consequences than what we’re already experiencing.

So what is the world doing about this? Hardly much of anything at levels sufficient to address the problem. If we don't do anything about it now then when? This has been a long time concern even before I was born but it seems no one has really put stress on this crisis. 

VOLLEYBALL STAR DEANNA WONG LIFTS CHOCO MUCHO TO GAME 1 WIN!!!

 

VOLLEYBALL STAR DEANNA WONG LIFTS CHOCO MUCHO TO GAME 1 WIN!!!

Choco Mucho is on the verge of its first podium finish since entering the Premier Volleyball League in 2019.

The Flying Titans left no stones unturned in the Game One of the bronze medal match, dispatching the Cignal HD Spikers in four sets, 25-17, 25-21, 21-25, 25-22, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday.

Still, despite the victory, Choco Mucho star Deanna Wong stressed that the job remains unfinished for the Flying Titans.

“Masaya, pero hindi pa tapos yung trabaho namin. So there’s still one more game and we want to get it,” said Wong after the match.

If Choco Mucho bags bronze on Friday, this will be the team’s highest finish in the league.

The Flying Titans settled for a seventh-place finish in their debut back in the 2019 PVL Open Conference.

The team had the chance to enter the finals in the 2021 Open Conference in the Ilocos Norte bubble. However, it fell to eventual champions Chery Tiggo. Choco Mucho then lost the battle for third series against Petro Gazz, which relegated them to fourth place.

Mapot Base Camp in Canlaon City Negros Oriental

This photo was taken from Mapot Base Camp in Canlaon City Negros Oriental.  It was so memorable when me and my family was planning to hike. We hike this mountain for almost 2hrs since its near from Bulkan Canlaon. We stayed overnight and enjoy the best weather since its my first time staying in the foggy place. Hiking was one of my favorite hobby , because It is one of the thing that makes me feel better. 

Mapot Base Camp is a perfect place for the people who enjoy the nature. We are not just climbing this mountain for the view but we also planting trees for the better of our Mother Nature.  
Your effort is worth it when you climb this mountain. 

BECAUSE OF YOU

 

BECAUSE OF YOU

Online selling comes up on my mind when the pandemic came and gave a great deluge. My partner I planning to invest in a small amount just to be busy with a purpose. This online selling is one of the hardest business for us since we need to take the risk on the items that we choose to sell.
This photo was taken when were preparing the items to sell . We measure the jeans and put a code on it. This kind of business was so hard because you’ll never know if you run out of stocks or not all you need to do is give patience and keep trying . Online selling taught me to be independent in life, it gives me an opportunity to help my family on their daily needs. Though sometimes our sales is weak but still I’m thankful for our daily income.

Just Like the Movies

As to have what a banner says on a protest, all disaster movies start with a scientist being ignored. Movies like 2012, Don't Look Up, Deep Impact, Armageddon, etc portrays that the government there only acts when the disaster is near or when they only realize it once they can feel its destructive outcomes to humanity. Scientists have already done their part in voicing out about the upcoming disaster but the people probably just heard about it, not acting on it. Are we gonna end up like those in the movies?

Scientists from different parts of the world have joined hands to hold protests last April 6, 2022, that calls for climate revolution after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has reported that we only have 3-5 years to look for ways to save Earth from catastrophic disaster. Participating scientists were from Spain, Germany, and Washington, D.C as part of the Scientist Rebellion. They were calling for immediate efforts to stop the usage of non-renewable sources of energy which are fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gases. This type of energy emits a massive quantity of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into our atmosphere making our planet warmer than the usual temperature which results in the rising of seawater levels. However, the desperation of scientists was mauled over by the government. They were arrested like they did something wrong.

The government and corporations should start listening to the cries of the educated and should set aside their capitalistic objectives. They have the power to make significant sustainable efforts to resolve this global issue in three to five years. I understand that you are trying to be as eco-friendly as possible. People trying to use Ecosia to help plant trees, delete emails to decrease the carbon footprint, save water, and other sustainable actions that an ordinary citizen is good however, no matter how eco-friendly you are, your efforts are just mere efforts. It is just a single grain of dust compared to all the sands of Earth. I apologize but this is the truth. Unless we have a full change in our system, we can have an observable change to ease climate change immediately.

"Public disobedience" hearsay. In my opinion, it is not. What the scientists did was a call of desperation to save our only planet. Chaining themselves in public spaces as part of protests is not a crime, ignoring their calls is.  Declare climate emergency now.
