A MUST READ!!!

Let’s talk about something real. Global warming. It’s all over us. It’s in the news everyday. We are actually experiencing its effect now. Three months ago, I watched a documentary film by the US Vice president Al Gore entitled “An Inconvenient Truth about Global Warming.” You can rent it at VideoCity. I encouraged you to watch it because it is really informative and you’ll be more aware of what is really happening to the world. It also explains there why we are experiencing drastic climatic changes. Don’t worry, it’s an award-winning piece so I’m sure, you won’t be bored to view it.

One of my undergraduate seminar was entitled “Household Solid Waste Reduction.” And to sum it up, there are three points I remembered about it:

1. Buy in bulk. Really, I encourage you to buy in bulk rather than in retail. For example, buying your favorite shampoo. Though we would think it’s cheaper to buy in sachet but the waste you produces costs much to the environment. One sachet of shampoo contains 5mL of it while a bottle of shampoo has 100 mL. So that’s about 20 sachets compared to one bottle. I’m guilty of it sometimes. But let’s make an effort to reduce our waste.

2. Reuse and Recycle. One good example would be using a handkerchief instead of tissue paper (unless may sipon ka, d ba?) At least yung hanky, nalalabhan. Pwedeng gamitin ulit. Pero yung tissue paper, itatapon na lng basta after we use it. Another source of waste. Also, we can use our old hand-outs as scratch papers to solve assignments or make drafts for our reaction papers. After the end of every semester, we can sell our hand-outs or scratch papers sa junk shop. Kumita na tayo, nakatulong pa!

3. As much as possible, avoid using plastics. If we could refrain ourselves from using plastics, the better. Plastics take longer years before they decompose. So, they would just add up to our garbage sites every time we use them. One practical thing to do is to eat "dine in". When we take out foods, we use stryo and plastics. Wow, imagine the waste!  Consider the amount of plastics we  use everyday when we buy stuffs. Dapat magdala na lang bayong (hehehe).

  Compared to the greatness of the global warming per se, I used to think that I can do nothing to help. But just as one person at a time in our ministry, so is one person at a time in informing the world about this information. Sana, let’s do our part in helping our world to be a better place to live in. Ajah!

For more info, you could check time magazine’s issue of “Survival Guide to Global Warming.” April 9, 2007 issue. You could check it at time magazine’s website.

BUHAY BUM

          Mahirap ang buhay ng walang ginagawa. Mas mahirap pa nga ito keysa sa mabuhay ng ang daming kailangang gawin. Oo, masarap magbakasyon. Yun bang wala kang gagawin ng mga ilang araw. Pahinga. Magrelax. Pero lahat pag sobra ay makakasawa rin. Sa isang taong katulad kong sanay na parati maraming kailangang gawin, masasabi kong hindi ako sanay sa buhay bum. Pakiramdam ko, hindi ako ito. Parang hindi ako si ako kung walang magawang productive ang utak ko.

           Kaya naman pinipilit kung may gawin. Ayaw ko ng buhay “tulog-kaen-nood tv-internet-tulog.” Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, “I was made for something big and significant.” Naiinip man ako, sinisikap kung paganahin ang utak ko. Sa aking pagbabasa ng mga hand-outs ko dati sa ENLI, dun ko naisip kung gaano ako ka-liit. Na para bang ang mundo ay nag move on kahit ako’y missing in action. Namimiss ko ang magdisciple. Ang maging passionate. Pero alam kung panandalian lamang ang lahat. “I’ll have my turn,” ika nga nila. At excited ako dun kasi alam kung marami akong baong insights at mas prepared nako ngayon.  This time, I’m going to do it at my best. Maganda rin ang ganito na ako’y malayo at nag-iisa. Bakit? Kasi mas nakikita ko ang mga bagay na meron at wala ako. Dahil dun, mas naaappreciate ko how much God is doing in my life. Mas nakikita ko kung gaano kasimple ang buhay Kristyano.

           Hindi magtatagal ay babalik na ulit ako sa kirkulasyon. Mamimiss ko rin ang pahinga at walang ginagawa. Kung meron man akong natutunan sa aking pagmumuni-muni, yun ay ang ako pa rin pala ang nakilala kung ako. Minsan kasi, naisip ko, baka sa dami ng mga komplikasyon ng buhay na aking napagdaanan, matakot ako na baka hindi na ako yung ako na alam kona ako. Kung meron mang parti ng pagkatao ko na secured ako hanggang ngayon, iyon ay ang “I do things out of love – love for God, love for my family, and love for my friends.” Naks! =)
