voted for Earth!Yesterday after work, I ate breakfast with one of my friends. I saw this ad from the Philippine Daily Inquirer and brought it home. Yes, it says "Meralco has the energy to support..."<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3393420629_8080170aa0.jpg" width="85%"><br /><br />Please visit <a href="http://www.earthhour.org/home/" target="_blank">EarthHour.ORG</a> for more details.<br /><br /><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/velvetzki/buttons/earth_hour2009.jpg"><br /><br />I posted the ad page on my front lawn for passersby to see. I sms'd everyone to remind them and invite them to join the cause. And of course when the time came, I switched off all the lights at my home last night from 8:30-9:30pm. <br /><br />I was expecting the street lights to dim out, but it didn't. But surprisingly, a colleague sms'd me and told me the lights were turned off at work! Wow, for a 24 hour establishment, they indeed need a time off.<br /><br />Unfortunately, alot of my neighbors did not participate. Either none of them watch the news nor read the papers. Or they just simply are too lazy, too naive, too selfish and too insensitive to believe in such a world wide campaign. Or they just didn't care. <br /><br />Sad. tsk tsk.. i pity them.<br /><br />For those who <b>did</b> turn their lights off tho, you can grab the logo above and place it on your blog or site. <a href="http://atomicmoogie.blogspot.com/2009/03/place-this-badge-on-your-blog.html"><b>Click here to get the code</b></a>.<br /><br />For those who are thinking of excuses now why you did not turn off your lights, please watch this video for you to know what is going on.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BjWD8pbK5t8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BjWD8pbK5t8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Notice something at 2:00?<br /><br />Here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arUSatYsbHE" target="_blank">another version</a> of that video edited to have 17 seconds of Manila clips.<br /><br />And, of course, a video from the local news:<br /><iframe src="http://www.gmanews.tv/evideo/20300/RP-observes-Earth-Hour-in-campaign-vs-global-warming" frameborder="0" style="width:360px; height:290px; display:block; background: black;" scrolling="no">This page requires a higher version browser</iframe><br /><a href="http://www.gmanews.tv/">GMANews.TV</a></center>atomicvelvetsighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16573995817862710386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571001.post-56488946462209479962009-03-28T23:30:00.006+08:002009-03-29T16:46:44.468+08:00Place this badge on your blog!<b>March 28, 2009 - 8:30pm local time:</b> Did you switch off your lights for an hour?

Hmm.. first, because it's raining and I find it silly for some to even fire up their rocket fireworks (some call it Dragon) despite of the rain.<br /><br />Second, there are cool pics online anyway. Hehe!<br /><br />(Yeah yeah I'm such a geek) My bf said he should buy me a shirt with the logo intel inside spoofed with "Geek inside" Ha! I know!<br /><br />Anyway, I went through flickr and found such amazing photos of fireworks taken around Manila.

The purpose of Blog Action Day is to create a discussion. Bloggers are asked to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue. Last year's topic was <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/about/2007-the-environment/" target="_blank">The Environment</a>. This year we focus on the mammoth issue of global <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/about/2008-poverty/" target="_blank"><b>Poverty</b></a>.<br /><br />Growing up, we were taught that we live in a third world country. And there are limits to what we can do and what we can get. I've always been a big dreamer when I was young and I always wanted to prove the grown ups wrong that we can only do as much. I also used to be a strong believer with the statement <i>Kung hindi ka kikilos ngayon, kelan pa?</i> ("If you won't act now, then when?")<br /><br /><u><b>Here are the facts:</b></u><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">The map of the world with classifications:</span><br /><br /><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/twisted/map_first_second_third_worlds.gif" width="90%" /><br /><i>First (blue), Second (red), and the Third World (green) countries during the Cold War era. Does not necessarily represent a current world view.</i></center><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">But according to the </span><a style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);" href="http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/third_world.htm" target="_blank">list of third world countries</a><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">, the Philippines is not included in terms of Political Rights and Civil Liberties, Gross National Income (GNI), Human Development, Poverty and Press Freedom.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">There are 50 countries listed in the United Nations comparative </span><a style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);" href="http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/least_developed_countries.htm" target="_blank" title="what are the 50 countries?">analysis</a><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);"> of poverty, </span><b style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">34</b><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);"> African countries, </span><b style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">10</b><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);"> Asian countries, </span><b style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">5</b><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);"> Pacific Island Nations and one Caribbean nation.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">The 10 Asian third world countries are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Timor-Leste and Yemen.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">And just recently have I encountered the term </span><a style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_World" target="_blank">fourth world</a><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">, and these are nations without states. But that's another story.</span><br /><br />I guess, now that I have passed the age of idealism, agitated adolescence with radical actions, adding that i went through a personal dark age of my life.. time killed the passion. I remain in support and still believe the causes of course, but not as active as before.<br /><br />Now joining the blog action day reminds me that time is really an issue with the long battle against poverty and change. One random act of kindness per person, when accumulated, creates change.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:140%;">So I leave a question for everyone, if we won't act now, when will you? When?</span><br /><br /><center>[<a href="http://atomicvelvetsigh.blogspot.com/2008/10/string-blog-action-day-2008.html" target="_blank">mirror post here</a>]</center><br /><br /><script src="http://blogactionday.org/js/78687513fc5c45f681abf4fbae8cbe426e417878"></script>atomicvelvetsighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16573995817862710386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571001.post-11760394315014661702008-10-03T04:25:00.010+08:002008-10-03T22:46:56.628+08:00box full of moogie goodiesmy lack of sleep yesterday was not due to another insomnia attack.. in fact for the past month i feel like im cured! ha!<br /><br />but the reason why yesterday i was almost falling off my seat at work was because i went to the post office to pick up a package from <a href="http://ambres.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Ambres</a>.. and what a lovely sweet surprise!<br /><br /><marquee scrollamount="4" direction="up" loop="true" width="100%" height="420"> <center><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/moogie/moogiebox10.jpg"><br /></center></marquee><br /><br /><center><b>Thank You So Much Honey!

(just in case something like this happens to me) *knock on wood.<br /><br />i took screen shots of their messages:<br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/twisted/blogger_nightmare2.jpg" title="all my post disappeared"><br /><br />OMFG!! Is it really possible to lose your blog and everything on it? according to <a href="http://rayniehawes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="Raynie's blog">Raynie</a> she did not delete them and it's still searchable in the postings. so this is totally weird!<br /><br />now im thinking if it shows on the google search it has got to do something with the coding platform.. and im not used to the xml template, reason why i reverted all my blogs to the older version. so i hope this would never happen to me..<br /><br />the second one where the owner, <a href="http://clinicafb.blogspot.com" target="_blank" title="Fernando's blog">fernando</a>, admits it was deleted by accident:<br /><br /><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/twisted/blogger_nightmare1.jpg" title="i accidentally deleted my blog. help!"><br /><br />they have tried to contact blogger but there is no word yet if blogger replied. so if anyone out there knows any solution please reply to the forum: <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/blogger-help-howdoi/browse_thread/thread/f8475f850e0a1e74?hl=en" target="_blank">Raynie</a> and <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/blogger-help-howdoi/browse_thread/thread/f7ed2840ccb89d07?hl=en" target="_blank">Fernando</a>atomicvelvetsighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16573995817862710386noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571001.post-61035778615148133722008-09-24T16:20:00.007+08:002008-09-24T17:54:12.284+08:00On October 15: Be Part of the Blog Action Day 2008!<center><object height="302" width="400"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1529825&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"> <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1529825&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="302" width="400"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/involved/">Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/blogactionday?pg=embed&sec=1529825">Blog Action Day</a></center><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><u>3 Ways to Get Involved :</u></span><br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3"><tbody><tr><td> <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/involved/commit-your-blog/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/twisted/blog_publish.gif" border="0"/></a></td> <td><a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/involved/donate-your-days-earnings/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/twisted/blog_donate.gif" border="0"/></a></td> <td><a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/involved/promote-the-day/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/twisted/blog_promote.gif" border="0"/></a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogactionday.org" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogactionday.s3.amazonaws.com/banners/300x250.jpg" /></a></center><br /><br />*.* note: the three action buttons were created by me but feel free to grab them and post it on your blog, make a keychain or stick it up on the bumpers of your car! i don't care as long as you start caring.. we start caring.. <img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/atomicvelvetsigh/smile/hyper.gif">atomicvelvetsighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16573995817862710386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571001.post-40012650598764391692008-09-21T07:43:00.004+08:002008-09-21T08:28:16.094+08:00some more boring stuff about me...and here goes another meme off from a myspace bulletin.. and anyone can continue its virus by answering and posting it on your own blogs.. so here goes mine..<br /><br /><b>Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?</b><br />no, but i have washed several with baby soap and running water. it helps remove dust and finger prints of people who do not know how to handle a fragile cd.

(yeah im such a dreamer i know!) there are a lot of tips on where to go and where not to go too.. the reviews are from real travelers, and you can as well post your comments about a place you've been
