world gone wrong

Synopsis : At 2:00 a.m., an Active Low Pressure Area (ALPA) was estimated based on satellite and surface data at 850 kms east of Mindanao (7.5ºN 134.5ºE) embedded along the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) affecting Visayas and Mindanao.

that was the latest weather update from pagasa, issued today. a friend has informed me about this news and i had to check it for myself. pagasa, inquirer.net and abs-cbnnews.com all have the same texts. i can't believe it. imagine, a storm at this time of the year! well, that's a first (in my lifetime, in case this has happened before in this country... in this part of the world)...

it's not that i'm complaining... i mean, i can't bear the heat and i'm totally loving the short rainfalls at night. but the world has really changed. i don't know what will happen next but i know that everyone's got to prepare. has anyone heard about the next ice age coming up?

mynmar has just had just been hit by a major disaster. it's a close neighbor. as much as possible, i don't wanna know any environmental tragedies other countries are experiencing. knock-on-wood, knowing the possibilities of having calamities here, i couldn't care less... plus, thanks to al gore i'm so concerned these days about our mother earth.

i guess, we're doomed!!! i hope, we're not.

i just wish that everything is just a cycle... sort of nature balancing itself... to equilibrium... after all the bad things man (more specifically) has done to its environment... but if it's gonna bring death and sufferings, i pray that it wouldn't last long.

looking on the other side, i can't exactly remember who said something like "destruction brings progress" or anything to that effect. (well, i haven't really used my brain so it's not trained to remember things like these.) hope it'll be the case - just as when most people in my town lost their homes due to a big storm in 1997 and rebuilt their lives with better dwellings. but anyhow, i don't like destructions and catastrophes to the fact that they cause bad things.

whatever nature is bringing us now, i hope it ends. i know that the problem is too big for anyone to solve but i think that everyone should do their share, even in their own little ways, not to worsen the situation.
