Kaleidoscope World


So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Skyway Stage 2 Opening - Sucat to Alabang

Yesterday I rode a bus bound to Alabang via skyway from Ayala Makati. I was so excited because yesterday was the opening of the Skyway Stage 2 from Sucat to Alabang and by this it will cut off travel time for a couple of minutes. As soon as the bus entered the skyway ramp along South Superhighway in Magallanes, Makati, the traffic flow was smoothly moving. It was 7:25pm by then and it took for almost 10minutes of ride from entering the skyway up to Alabang. That was such a fast travel time, before it will take about 30minutes or more depending on the traffic situation on the Sucat interchange. What a relief for a commuter like me. Heads up to the Skyway Management!

Not so good week for me... Sigh!

I started the week yesterday and it was not so good for me. I'm lacking of resources(money), everything is not into place and also my office machine is not cooperating with me, it is not running in good condition, I'm having a problem on my Oracle Database installed on my unit and having difficulty of deploying the application on my localhost. Since yesterday I'm trying to figure it out and today it seems I'm still inside the bubble and can't get out of it. I tried dumping the database and hopefully it will solved the problem. Another problem is I'll have to render more hours in the office so I could complete my work hours within the week. The current total work hour as for now is 34hrs and so far I have completed 18hrs. Anyway, that's life, I just need to continue and focus on things I need to prioritize. Focus... Focus...

Happy April Fools' Day!

Early this morning when I came in to the office, I logged in to my facebook account and noticed the wall of my friend Thots. Everybody had greeted him a "Happy Birthday", so i immediately greeted him too. For the second time around he got me. Hey it's April Fools' Day, it's not really his birthday. hahaha

April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar

Earthquake Safety Tips

Instead of being afraid and all panicky, we should make sure we are ready should an earthquake happen.

Here are some earthquake safety tips to remember.

What to do – Before the Earthquake

• Arrange your home for safety: Store heavy objects on lower shelves and store breakable objects in cabinets with latched doors. Don’t hang heavy mirrors or pictures above where people frequently sit or sleep.
• Store flammable liquids away from potential ignition sources.
• Stock up on emergency supplies. These include: battery operated radio (and extra batteries), flashlights (and extra batteries), first aid kit, bottled water, two weeks food and medical supplies, blankets, cooking fuel, tools needed to turn off your gas, water and electric utilities.
• Learn what to do during an earthquake (see During the Earthquake)

What to do – During the Earthquake

• If outdoors, move to an open area where falling objects are unlikely to strike you.
• If driving, slow down smoothly and stop on the side of the road. Avoid stopping on or under bridges and overpasses, or under power lines, trees and large signs.
• If indoors, quickly move to a safe location in the room such as under a strong desk, a strong table, or along an interior wall. The goal is to protect yourself from falling objects and be located near the structural strong points of the room.

What to do – After the Earthquake

• Check for injuries and attend to people who may need help.
• If the power is out, unplug appliances to prevent possible damage when the power is turned back on.
• If you smell or hear a gas leak, get everyone outside and open windows and doors. If you can do it safely, turn off the gas at the meter.
• If the building is badly damaged, evacuate immediately

ABOVE ALL..THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS TO PRAY...PRAY..AND PRAY... "GOD, KEEP US SAFE ALWAYS"

Supermoon: March 19, 2011

On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet.

Richard Nolle, a noted astrologer who runs the website astropro.com, has famously termed the upcoming full moon at lunar perigee (the closest approach during its orbit) an "extreme supermoon."

When the moon goes super-extreme, Nolle says, chaos will ensue: Huge storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural disasters can be expected to wreak havoc on Earth. (It should be noted that astrology is not a real science, but merely makes connections between astronomical and mystical events.) But do we really need to start stocking survival shelters in preparation for the supermoon? 

The question is not actually so crazy. In fact scientists have studied related scenarios for decades. Even under normal conditions, the moon is close enough to Earth to make its weighty presence felt: It causes the ebb and flow of the ocean tides.

The moon's gravity can even cause small but measureable ebbs and flows in the continents, called "land tides" or "solid Earth tides," too. The tides are greatest during full and new moons, when the sun and moon are aligned either on the same or opposite sides of the Earth.

According to John Vidale, a seismologist at the University of Washington in Seattle and director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, particularly dramatic land and ocean tides do trigger earthquakes. "Both the moon and sun do stress the Earth a tiny bit, and when we look hard we can see a very small increase in tectonic activity when they're aligned," Vidale told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site to SPACE.com.

At times of full and new moons, "you see a less-than-1-percent increase in earthquake activity, and a slightly higher response in volcanoes."

The effect of tides on seismic activity is greatest in subduction zones such as the Pacific Northwest, where one tectonic plate is sliding under another. William Wilcock, another seismologist at the University of Washington, explained: "When you have a low tide, there's less water, so the pressure on the seafloor is smaller. That pressure is clamping the fault together, so when it's not there, it makes it easier for the fault to slip."

According to Wilcock, earthquake activity in subduction zones at low tides is 10 percent higher than at other times of the day, but he hasn't observed any correlations between earthquake activity and especially low tides at new and full moons. Vidale has observed only a very small correlation.

What about during a lunar perigee? Can we expect more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on March 19, when the full moon will be so close?

The moon's gravitational pull at lunarperigee, the scientists say, is not different enough from its pull at other times to significantly change the height of the tides and thus the likelihood of natural disasters.

"A lot of studies have been done on this kind of thing by USGS scientists and others," John Bellini, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey, told Life's Little Mysteries. "They haven't found anything significant at all."

Vidale concurred. "Practically speaking, you'll never see any effect of lunar perigee," he said. "It's somewhere between 'It has no effect' and 'It's so small you don't see any effect.'"

The bottom line is, the upcoming supermoon won't cause a preponderance of earthquakes, although the idea isn't a crazy one.

"Earthquakes don't respond as much to the tides as you'd think they would. There should actually be more of an effect," said Vidale.

Most natural disasters have nothing to do with the moon at all. The Earth has a lot of pent up energy, and it releases it anytime the buildup gets too great. The supermoon probably won't push it past the tipping point, but we'll know for sure, one way or the other, by March 20.
