I was very much impressed of the result of the recent presidential election in USA that after the election the result of the counting of votes was already confirmed within just an hour. Another product of technology implemented being too hi tech does many things globally and it will help a lot in improving our communities here in the Philippines. I would like to congratulate Mr. Barack Obama the newly elected President of the United States of America who made a history in USA the first black American ever to rule America! There are lots of people who joined the celebration and welcome President Barack Obama.

The election started and ended peacefully with rival Mr. John Mccain being a good sport. Lots of people congratulated him too for not making any complaint about the result of the counting. That’s the real man, he knows how to accept the thing. How I wish that here in the Philippines the COMELEC will use or apply the automated Counting Machine for all the coming elections, to stop all the opposition and complaints after the counting.

Did you know that the Philippines is a heaven for the sea turtle, or “pawikan?”Out of the seven species of sea turtle, the Philippines is home to five of these heroes in a half-shell.

The pawikan has been around for 200 million years, but to this day very little is known about it. After it is born it leaves and spends most of it’s life traveling the seas. The female pawikan can’t seem to let go of her hometown. Every two years, she returns to the exact same beach where it was born to lay hundreds of eggs. We can therefore claim hundreds of pawikans as “Philippines citizens.”

During pawikans life time, scientists only have two opportunities to it: when it is born, and when it comes ashore to lay it’s eggs. This makes the Philippines incredibly important to worldwide efforts to protect this creature. Aside from being a nesting site for hundreds of turtles, our islands also lie along the migratory routes of various species of sea turtles from the Asia Pacific region.

Recently, the Turtle Islands Heritage Park (TIHPA), was formed out of nine islands in the Sulu-Subah area. These areas have been declared sanctuaries for sea turtles by law, to be jointly manage by the Philippines and Malaysia governments. Manu wildfire NGOS, such as WWF Philippines, use this islands as a home station to study these mysterious creatures that have been around since the time of the dinosaur.

How I wish I could ride a horse using english saddles on the back on it. Actually here in Cebu I have riding horse many times, but it is a horse with a cartridge as we call ” Kalesa,” this one of our oldest way of transportation here way back 1960’s up to present. It’s exciting to ride on it and we feel comfortable too. Not like today that here are lots of private and public vehicles that we can use as our way of transportation, the worst at present is the oil hike, it getting higher from time to time. So the jeepney all public vehicles are also affected. That is why until now even there are few “kalesas” passing on the street there are lots of people are using it for conveniences.

There’s no other happy moment for a mother’s feeling but when she gives birth to her first born baby. Of course we can not hide the fact we want the best for our baby and sometimes we make the impossible possible for them. We don’t even allow mosquito’s to touch them and if possible should sleep in a nice with clean beautiful crib bedding an a mosquito net while the baby is sleeping. That’s what a mother can do to her child.

Oh my, I need to input something to my blog for I wasn’t able to post anything in here for a week for the fast few months I was a bit busy due to my uncles death then the feast of our Patron St. Rogue, in Mambaling. Sorry if I can’t post my latest activities. So here I am starting the month Ber, hoping that I can post everything for my friends and my readers, I will try my best to post my activities and some pictures here. Blogging is my world at the same time it’s nice to share to others some tidbits of my experiences and discovery. That’s what I want in the net we can share ideas at the same time we can learn many things from other ideas.

The good thing nowadays, due to hi technologies everything is too advance. In fact there are lots of people undergo a by pass surgery in plant just like heart illness that needs a transplant. It cost much money to do the surgery but not thinking of of the money we spent, but the important is life for life here on earth is beautiful. That is why there are lots of people people would take the risk just to save life of their love ones.

Speaking of medical diagnostics creating advanced diagnostic test which means we can an earlier and more accurate diagnostic testing and blood screening. Can give more treatment options and can mean a better health for our health is our wealth. And the product is good for Jonhson&Johnson that come a long way in serving the whole world, for sure the product is proven and tested many years ago. Since i was a child i use some of their products too.

It is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and probably of those who love animals. During this month, many parishioners take their pets to their churches to have them blessed. The editor noticed a few years ago that only a few of the parishes in the country have this yearly tradition, but now many parishes have own pet blessing.

In fact year 2005 alone, have received several invitations for their own pets blessings in their parishes, but they have to decline because they are understaffed and besides, some of those invitations were sent at last minute.

In this issue, the story of St. Francis of Assisi is told. The story has been retold many times of those who believe in him is amazed by his ability to talk and understand animals. A person who loves animals should be very proud to read a gem of wisdom from St. Francis of Assisi.

While we rejoice that many fellowmen have considered their pets as part of their families, many our “kababayans” still consider themselves superior to their animal friends that they do not find themselves living harmoniously with them. One example is an article He read in the papers that cats are fired upon by the soldiers in one of the military camps in the metropolis. How pathetic is that? Did it ever occur to officers of the camp to donate three poor cats to one of the animal shelters, instead of targeting as if they have no life at all.

Surely one of their people might find place in their home for these cats. An editor asked of the reporters to do a story unfortunately as a press time he has still to interview the camp director to get his side. We cannot run the story with one angle, don’t you agree? Hopefully i can post the continuation of this issue in my next post.

The biggest cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide released when fossil fuels like oil and coal are burned for energy. So when save energy, let’s fight global warming and at the same time we can save money.

Here are some easy steps you can take:

• Raise your voice. Send a message to your elected officials, letting them know that you will hold them accountable for what they do-or fail to do-about global warming.
• Choose an efficient vehicle. A car that gets 20 miles per gallon will emit about 50 tons of carbon dioxide over it’s lifetime. A car getting 40 mpg will emit half-polluting, most efficient vehicle that meets your needs . Maybe it’s an innovative hybrid that combines a gasoline engine with electric motors( and never need to be plugged in). Or maybe it’s a wagon instead of an SUV.
• Drive smart. Get your engine tuned up and keep your tires inflated-both help fuel efficiency. A tuned up could be boost your miles per gallon anywhere from 4 to 40%; a new air filter could get you 10% more miles per gallon.
• Drive less. When possible, choose alternatives to driving (public transit, biking, walking, and carpooling), and bundle your errands together so you’ll make fewer trips.
• Replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. While compact fluorescent are initially more expensive than the incandescent bulbs most people use, they last 10 times as long. What’s more, a compact fluorescent will lower your energy bills and keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air. (Source: www.nrdc.org)

I Remember when I worked one of the a best company here in Cebu, at first day of my work it’s really hard of course for I need to adjust the people around , the job site, surrounding’s everything. It’s really hard from time to time of working and I’m glad that it won’t take long time of familiarizing my job at the same time easy for me to get along with the people around specially to the senior staff. Until one time I met this one good person and we became good friend, in fact she’s the one or let me say she is my alarmed clock at work for being a neophyte there are times that I forget that we have a break time so she’s the one who reminds me. I really thank God for that, at least it won’t hard for me to adjust at work and it seems everything came easy to adjust at work and it seems everything came easy to me.

And from that time on I learn two things to that experience that I need to balance my work and my friendship. Yes it is true that friendship really helps in work because friends tend to think on on the same plane. I do agree on what a professional mother saying on one of the best newspaper have I read this morning. It says.”Misunderstanding at the work scene can not be avoided. ” Sometimes there are things that you do which may not be to her liking,” she said. Bu she does not allow it to affect her work and she with her friend always work it out.

When asked about balancing friendship and professionalism, she said:”When you’re at work, you should always be professional.

” You should never let your friendship overshadow what you need to do at work, what you need to do is a professional , because once too much friendship sinks in, you would tend to take things for granted.

Do not lose focus on what you need to do to be able to do well, if not excel in the job at hand.”

Professionalism and work may not be on the same plane, but it can survive with the right balance of friendship in the work atmosphere.
