spread the darkness (earth hour 2009)

Shepard Fairey "Vote Earth" digital poster

so, who’s afraid of the dark?

switch off your lights for earth hour 2009, saturday (march 28) 8:30-9:30PM.

“This year’s Earth Hour is being touted as a showdown between Earth and global warming: The blacker the night on March 28th, the more clearly the world will have shown their awareness of the issue…by not showing anything at all.”

let’s join the world in saving mother earth. please spread the word.

been to romblon :)

while romblon was never in my “to go to” list, i still felt a certain excitement at the chance of visiting this island province. romblon is the philippines’ leading producer of high-quality marble, which, according to wikipedia, is comparable with the marble produced by italy. nope wasn’t excited because of the marble. not planning of building a monument. well, at least not yet. :p

fly seair...

we were heading to the municipality of calatrava in tablas island. tablas is only 45 minutes by light aircraft. riding a 32-seater donier 328 aircraft instead of the usual airbus may be a big reason why i was dying to take the trip. i really did not know what to expect in romblon so its great that just the flight would make the trip worth taking.

a series of unfortunately bad events

as i write this, i am in the slow, tedious process of recovering from what could possibly be the worst 5 days ever. some events happened because i was careless and stupid. others just plain bad luck (or i was just really stupid. hehehe)

last friday, i was just about ready to pack my bags and spend my weekend with my brothers in manila when i got a “rush assignment.” wait a minute, rush may be a bit of an understatement. i needed to make a video (from concept until final product) by sunday afternoon. tuesday would have been fine but i had on official trip on monday and tuesday in iloilo. i wanted to make a separate blog entry about iloilo but i absolutely have nothing to say about it. didn’t really go anywhere but the farmers’ fields , SM City mall, and the hotel.

anyway, back to the story – rush assignment. this isn’t even part of the bad things that happened yet.
