Damned Dams!

There has to be something suspect in Dams that alternately dry-out/spill-over too quickly. Kapag tag-init, problema ang pagka-tuyot ng mga Dams natin. Kulang tuloy ang supply ng kuryente at tubig.

Kapag tag-ulan naman (worse kung tag-bagyo), umaapaw naman ang mga hitad! Delubyo ang hatid sa ating mga komunidad.

Anyaare?! 

Was there a flaw in the concept and design of these Dams? And, more importantly, is there still something we can do about it?

We need good Pinoy engineers and planners now more than ever.

And now a word from the remaining 1%.

'La lang. I just thought it would only be fair to hear what the remaining "1%" has to say about all this "Occupy this and that" brouhaha. Tao din naman sila na may karapatang magpahayag, tama?

:-)

Yes. I'm joking.

F@CK you, Mr. Burns and everyone like you!

Funny... Sad... but, unfortunately, still True.

How very apt naman this. :-)

Pero seriously, dapat bang lagi na lang tayong ganito? I can't imagine subjecting my future kids to this same pitiful (and infuriating) situation.

It has got to stop... and soon. Cliches tend to become unfunny rather quickly.

My heart bleeds for Japan.

No words will ever suffice. No amount of sympathy... of empathy. Commiseration won't cut it. 

What is needed is action -- the world community has to pitch in. Everyone. For only in helping those in desperate need do we become more human... more humane. 

My heart cries out for Japan. Her children... her mothers... fathers... brothers and sisters... lives swept away in an instant.

My heart bleeds for those left behind.
