Switching On the Sun

With the recent and successive nature-caused blows seemingly harking back at every part of the globe as its groans of resentment, Mother Earth appears to be collecting dues. Yesterday, in observance of the Earth Hour, support and participation of a majority were an hour of some energy-saving measure. Jointly, it’s a big contribution. Compared to the collective damage she has endured all throughout however, it’s small.  Controlled by The Most High, will she be as forgiving? In general, we have been preoccupied by our own business to the point of having neglected our responsibilities to care for our home in Mother Earth. Assuming to be accepting of our shortcomings, how are we to take the dues should her charging escalate? If Japan’s deemed readiness with its technological advancements didn’t quite hold on, the concern is how it would be among the less ready. With the series of unexpected alarming natural calamities and under the contemplation of eventually experiencing the sa...

Looking for a XXXL size diaper for my 3-year old son, I’ve realized that he is already big to still be using a diaper. Right there I thought the non-existence of such size means the “no-kid-as-big-as-that-could-still-be-using-one” probability (thus why even produce what would not sell thought the manufacturer perhaps)… Before he totally outgrows his current XXL-size for a baby diaper, he needs to learn how to practically answer those kinds of nature call. Practical it would be indeed as it will spare me of further expenditure. Though his Mamy Poko brand for a diaper could be proven to be more practicable as it lasts longer, still, the convenient non-use of it is rather preferred. Don’t get me wrong with my choice on trying to be cost-effective. It’s just that there may be a more inexpensive brand that could be as useful but causes diaper rash. We’ve been prodding him on how to use his potty trainer instead but to no avail. I’ve also shown him how to “manly” pee but only elicits amu...

With a lot of assumed “ B ull S hit” happening among its core workforce within one department at work, the B oss and S ubordinates decided it was time to “ B reak their S ilence” with a B ull S ession. B rash S entiments were B oldly S hared. As of current manifestations, it was the B est S olution. Though, it’s really up to them how B ehavioral S cience will turn out and B e S ubstantiated for a B etter S ystem and help B uild S ustenance. On the other hand, in another section, some integrity has been smeared as “ B oiling S ecrets” were disclosed. Although the subject matter’s personal in nature, the confidence accorded to me as an acknowledged trusted co-employee was, all along, with denial of the truth… Though, not (even) B arely S urprised, I would have appreciated if the concerned person could have at least been B ravely S traightforward… Whereas along our end, one of our B oss is S ick however it led to B ad S uspicions that has been B luntly S peculated… It’s no longer ben...

Is it coincidental or is it fitting that prevention month for Rabies and that of Fire is concurrent with Women’s Month this March? One suspected basis could be that to avoid a biting discomfort-causing flaming dispute, avoid getting in conflict with and bitten by a bitch (LOL) . Ok that’s not entirely true; I made that up but… But? Yes, while the International Women’s Month is a celebration focused on appreciation towards women for every possible related aspect, it’s not supposed to stir gender bias. It’s an occasion for men to dedicatedly convey their love for women. Yet, it’s also a seeming instance for women to expect for it, thus such expression from men are rather reserved for special occasions such as this. Celebrations like this are supposed to be some sort of a chance to be thankful. For even gaining the credentials to be commemorated among celebrators is what’s really worth remembering. My point exactly: One doesn’t celebrate her some sort of contribution to humanity becaus...

It’s neither positive nor negative… But if it’s a score out of at least a few, it’s negative. If it’s a result out of something that’s supposed to be consumed or dissolved however, then it’s positive. Thus zero could mean good or bad depending on what it’s tallied for. Age-wise, zero could perhaps be marked when one hasn’t reached the age of one or hasn’t completed a full year commemorated on his/her birthday. My son was born on a leap day 3 years ago. Technically, commemoration of his 1st birthday on its actual day would be next year. When asked how old he is, he responds with “zero”. By some means, he could be likened to zero. He is endearing yet he could be bothersome as expected of his age. Age? But then again, he’s “zero”… Exactly! He’s both delightful and demanding though his being “zero” is “him” being even and not odd; in the same way how exacting he could get nevertheless he is still some treat for an amusement. As he grows, his interest varies. He’s now into wearing my ...
