Potted Garden

I love to brag about my flower from my potted rose on my so-called "Garden", I admire its beauty you can take a look on some of its blooms here on my other blog. I'm not sure if what variety it was, but its flowers was just small around 1" to 1.5" in diameter which I bought last year from a Manong in kariton who sell potted flowers around the city it costs Php50 then. Wish I can still some more of it various colors like red or white, but our place is too small, hubby promise me that he will make sure someday when we got our own place it will have a little garden.

I also have some potted herbs like oregano, ginger, celery and kinchay and I will try to take picture of them to show you.

Few Minutes to Earth Hour

In a few minutes (Manila time) I am bout to turn off everything in our home that uses electricity, my laptop now is running through its battery. So it's bye for now.

The imposing performance graduates with my highlight.

60 Minutes Gift To Earth

Earth Hour was first held on 2007 by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Sydney Australia where 2.2 million of homes and establishment switch off their essential lights and appliances for one whole hour support against climate change. And this had been a traditional campaign that held annually every last Saturday of March, 8:30 to 9:30 pm local time. Earth Hour 2010 have 121 participating countries around the world making it the biggest Earth Hour to date.

Let us all do our personal responsibility to Mother Earth's  future and our future with just 60 seconds of lights out, make your stand and make it a date on Saturday.

Seism

Seism, Temblor or Earthquake define as shaking on earth surface due to underground movement along geological faults, volcanic activities, landslides or by human activities like bomb blasting. Magnitude is the measure of energy of an earthquake using seismometer and intensity is the measure of shaking in earths surface and determine using  mercalli scale.

Yesterday 25 March 2010 at around 1:29 pm Metro Manila including nearby provinces Laguna, Tagaytay, Pampanga, Bataan and Mindoro was shaken by a magnitude 7 movement that gives intensity 3-5 on said areas. It was for a fact that more than 20 quake occurs everyday but only few are reach our consciousness and its occurrence is unpredictable. It was a chest popping thing to re-experience this specially after Haiti quake having just the same magnitude  good thing our structures are designed to withstand magnitude 7.5 to 8, but DPWH warn the public on flyovers and bridges since these structures are more vulnerable to seismic movements (06-21-2009).


Earthquake is a natural thing specially in our country, having a fault line throughout the archipelago with history of sudden big shakes, it is impossible to know when will it move, all can we do is to prepare for the worst and off course nothing beat the power of prayers.
