nocturnal thoughts

today, i wanted to commend kaki for behaving so nicely the entire service.

i promised myself to sleep around 8pm... yes! 8pm, manila time! - but ended up blogging...

i remember i promised y'all that i'd be posting something about the earth hour thingy as soon as kaki gets back on track. fortunately and thanks to a very good friend, kaki's back and is now behaving well...btw, this friend of mine can fix anything at a very reasonable fees (*plugging*).

now here we go.

when: March 28, 2009, 8:30pm-9:30pm

where: everywhere

what: earth hour

anyways, i remember when i first signed up to become an official earth hour fan (as i called it then), it was Earth Hour: 8:00-9:00pm March 29, 2008. i signed in to www.earthhour.org with the personal URL: http://earthhour.org/user/zJ12 (which when i checked now, it no longer exists as if it never happened at all).

as part of that global thing (not that i played a big role on it), i reached out to all i know and encouraged them to participate. it was fabulous as some really got into joining the said event! however, one thing that made me so awful was when i got this message from some asshole who never even bothered to introduce himself up to me, and just said like: "hey bitch! you can't save the world by making another big mistake.

in short, turning off your lights for an hour is a huge mistake! the earth hour was a huge mistake!

(i was told he saw my name on that personal URL i provided earlier and he's so furious, of all people, he never expected me to be on it yet i did sign up! so i figured it out - he's one of those i knew or still know but he's just got no balls to tell me straight in my eye that i was a b-i-t-c-h who cared the earth where i live)

so much for that, i didn't give a damn. i went on and earth hour 2008 was a huge success!

then came earth hour 2009.

things have to continue. what has been started should either be sustained or it'll bore the whole things up!

for me, it just didn't feel so right. the world keeps on becoming hot and it's all because of just so many wrong things we all do. i know it's part of living...but sometimes, a mere global event "for an hour" doesn't seem right or enough (i believe the right word is "enough").

it feels like it's all for a show whose viewers are bunch of hypocrites who're just after of fun. i didn't sign up, nor bothered to even cooperate. but apparently, i was sort of cooperating...even if all i thought was to continue being what i am, minding of what i would do to help delay the earth's demise. i was too exhausted to even bother to text my friends or forward all those mail messages like i used to.

so what i did?

i went out with classmates and friends. we had a great spa session, had our whole body massaged and it felt great.

(i asked the establishment, of course, if they would participate in the earth hour event by turning off their lights in a span of an hour and after hearing the answer which was: what is earth hour? i just said, hmmm...well, it's ok, i will be there with 3 more friends to have a massage.

and there we went.

global warming isn't a joke, folks. i bet all of us has this in our veins by now. earth hour is a big step but this isn't enough! the least that we can do is do simple things. those who are smoking, please try to minimize doing so (if you really can't stop it at all)... those people you see burning dried leaves in your community, let them stop doing so. take the heat if you'd be tagged as "pakialamera" a.k.a. minding other people's business.

the thing is folks, our earth is our business! this isn't the aliens'!

shit, i should never have promised you about writing earth hour. it just sucks...i feel like i should never have said anything...now i am feeling old...and wasting almost an hour of lights turned on.

but you see, i care and it's that feeling that makes me sad why i still care when all of us don't seem to?

and today, just as i was all up to taking the humidity that spells "g-lo-b-a-l w-a-r-m-i-n-g!," it rained.

but it is still HOT...

and it kills me!

p/s. good night! :)
