#MyDayInBCD

2 more days and 2nd semester starts, yeah, we're starting on the 3rd of November which also means early school year end for us... today is the last day for the 2010 election registration all over the country, COMELEC is open until 12am tonight to accommodate those last day registrants... over the news some people are losing their cool with the ongoing registration due to the long lines and maybe with the not so organized flow of the registration... since December last year there are already around 3 million new voters who registered, errr.. wait... did i say December? yes i did, and only if these people tried to register earlier they will not face this kind of problems anymore, long lines, shortage of registration forms and waiting as early as 6am and finally registering 12 hours later... this attitude of "mamaya na [later]" is bringing us to no where, we always talk about change in society but we need to understand that to attain change it should start from within us,...

So the president signed RA 9716 creating a new district in Camarines Sur (CamSur) province in Bicol region. Now what? " Section 5-3, Article 6 of the Constitution requires a minimum population of 250,000 for a local government unit (LGU) or clusters of LGUs to be declared a congressional district.

A typhoon poured a rain equivalent to one month in just one day in Manila which caused a massive flooding, it forced millions of people out of their homes and destroying billions worth of properties. Never in history that this kind of flooding occurred and no one even expected it to happen. A few weeks later another storm hits the island resulting to land slides at the northern part of the country and the flooding destroyed crops. Why is this happening? To answer, we need to climb up our mountains and see for ourselves if we still have trees; we need to go outside and smell the air we breath; or maybe we simply need to open our eyes and understand that we are the culprit. We need to act to improve the quality of our atmosphere, go for renewable energy, eliminate fossil fuels, protect our nature, plant more trees, let's reuse and recycle.
