VOTE EARTH, YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.

Habang nag-iinternet kaninang madaling araw, nadaan ako sa blog ni Fjordz at nagulat sa iskandalong ginawa ng isang "sikat" na fashion designer. Eto ang video ng isang CCTV camera na nakuha ang kabuuan ng nangyari. 



Mahigit isang linggo na pa lang nangyari ito subalit ni minsan wala man lang akong narinig sa radyo, nabasa sa dyaryo at napanuod sa tv tungkol sa pangyayaring ito. Hmmm, marami siguradong kalapit na kilala sa media. Salamat sa internet at sa mga bloggers na nagbabalita ng mga isyung hindi "maipalabas" ng media. Kung gusto mong makatulong sa trabahong hindi magawa ng media, pakipasa ang balitang ito. Salamat.

Blog Prayer Brigade for the election of the Future President of the Republic of the Philippines

Panginoon, salamat at binigay mo sa amin ang bansang Pilipinas na pagsilbihan at protektahan. Ang bansang lubos naming mahal. Ang bansang ilang beses na nadapa't nasubsob subalit nakatayo pa rin dahil sa mga Pilipinong matatag at tapat sayo.

At sa pagpili namin ng bagong mamumuno sa aming bansa sa susunod na taon, gabayan Niyo ang bawat isang Pilipino sa pagpili ng nararapat at karapatdapat na pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas. Ipinagdarasal ko rin ang mga Pilipinong nawawalan na ng pag-asa, ang mga walang pakialam, ang mga kabataang unang beses na boboto, ang mga taga-paghatid ng balita at impormasyon, ang COMELEC na mamamahala ng botohan, ang mga magbabatanday ng boto, ang mga kandidatong planong tumakbo at lahat ng Pilipinong makikibahagi sa darating ng eleksyon.

Panginoon, dinggin mo ang aming panalangin.

Gusto mo na ayaw mo.

Alam mo kung ano ang gusto mo.

Alam mo rin ang ayaw mo.

Paano kung ang gusto mo e ayaw mo rin?

Anglabo. Anggulo.

Minsan, Madalas

Minsan, may mga pagkakataong inaaya ka, di mo gustong sumama pero sumasama ka pa rin.

Bakit? Kasi naiinitindihan mo ang pinagdadaanan ng nagaaya sayo. Napagdaanan mo na yan. Na madalas, alam mo na yan, pero bakit ka pa rin pumupunta? Dahil madalas, mas nangunguna ang pagpapakumbaba at ang pakikinig. Dahil alam mong sa pakikinig mo, siguradong may gusto siyang sabihin sayo.

Hay.

minsan gusto, madalas ayaw.

minsan magulo, madalas malabo.
