The Other Way Around Fairy Tale

When I was little, my mom used to tell me a story about a princess saved by a prince from a horrible monster. Yes, I had this funny feeling of wanting to be that princess saved by whoever-the-prince is. It’s every little girl’s dream to meet a handsome prince and be his bride. Such a fairy tale I always want to happen in my life. Yet, mom forgot to tell me that not all fairy tales have a happy ending. If only I listened to fairy godmother then I would have waited for the right prince or if only I could cast a magic spell on Time, then I would have save my own fairy tale. But it’s too late. The prince I thought who would save me from snare turned out to be that dreadful monster. I thought he was that handsome prince transformed into a hideous beast by a beautiful enchantress but it’s the other way around. I hailed him like a hero. His narcissistic behavior made him more caring only about himself and his own needs. He became inconsiderate. As if he cares about me but the truth is he only cares for himself. He wants to be comfortable in everything he does even if he sees me doing it uncomfortably. He doesn’t really care at all. He’s unaffectionate. He often made me upset and he’s unaware that it’s hurting me. I always cry… a lot. I want him to see that I’m crying for I want him to feel how it hurts me deeply. I longed for his comfort. Unexpectedly, he never showed it to me. I felt I lost that prince I loved since the day we met. His negative tendencies devoured him and turned him to a beast which far more I could ever imagine. I have negative tendencies too and together with him I want to outwit them. Should I give him a kiss to wake him up? I often kiss him. Unfortunately, he finds this irritating. Should I be looking for that missing shoe pair of his and fit it to him? I don’t think he has a lost shoe pair. Should I climbed a tower and show him the real world? I am not good in climbing and I guess he have seen the real world already. I tried so many different ways to save him. I think it’s him who does not want to be saved. Sadly, I have to wait for him and hopefully he’s halfway by now..cause I’m too sleepy now. :P

You Change or Climate Change

Can we still save Mother Earth? Is it not too late?
Earth is facing a variety of environmental problems. The greatest environmental threat is the Climate Change. Today, Earth’s climate is changing from its usual global climate pattern. In fact, there are compelling evidences that it is happening rapidly. It is affecting all parts of the world.
Scientists have recently discovered that glaciers melt rate has accelerated causing sea level rising rate to increase than of last century. Those who are at immediate risk are those who are living in low land areas like Philippines. This causes floods that kill lots of people and damage houses and crops. Death toll from floods and landslides hit parts of Mindanao last February 2011, thus, affecting hundreds of families. Extreme weather events are also happening. Last 2010, Russia experienced heat wave, a long period of an abnormal high temperature that caused massive withered crops affecting people’s livelihood. Such warm temperature affects also human health. There are reports too that many died due to heat wave. On the other hand, last January 2011, Baguio City’s temperature dropped to 9 centigrade causing a low agricultural production and increasing health risks to the residences.
Climate change causes greater destruction not only to humans but to all kinds of species as well. Some species are unable to adapt quickly with the rapid change of the Earth’s climate, as a result, they die. Others have to move to a cooler place only that it is not a suitable habitat for them so they die. Abrupt habitat change would definitely lead to animal extinction. If this happens surely our biodiversity will be affected. Biodiversity provides many key benefits to humans. We depend on biodiversity. Furthermore, biodiversity loss has a wide range of impacts on humans. One of these is food security.
Our mother earth is in great danger and so we are. Should we make a response now? Earth is our home. We must protect it in our own little ways. Such little ways would make a big difference to help our Mother Earth!
