Twilight

Fifty percent of greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings. Progress could be both a blessing and a curse. And by the way, this blog entry has nothing to do with the book of the same title. Sorry girls.

Didju know?

Dolphin + Sea Lion, originally uploaded by karoluscamilius.

Did you know that there's a village in Japan that slaughters dolphins? I was shocked upon seeing it on CNN. You can search it online if you want to. I know it's wrong (so is the slaughtering of dogs sa Pinas) but we're speaking of dolphins??? Dolphins who along with chimpanzees are next to humans in terms of intelligence????????? WTF???!

Lantau, Hong Kong

A refuge from the hustle and bustle of the modern city of Hong Kong, Lantau Island is one of the most tranquil places on earth. No wonder they chose the Island to house the largest bronze outdoor Buddha in the World. Find peace in Lantau.

Sometimes, you feel that the whole world is falling down upon you. And when you feel that way, sometimes you also feel that the burning sky will put an end to life as you know it....

Luckily, this is just a beautiful hand-painted sunset sky.ü

Gee, my job really is stressful.

As a kid, I grew up watching TV Patrol back in the days when Noli De Castro and Co. used to anchor the show. If you remember, the show had a backdrop like this or at least close to this. Basta it was an LE shot, remember, remember? LOL!ü

June

Pasulong, Kad!, originally uploaded by karoluscamilius.

Half of the year is nearly through and yet here we are again asking ourselves, "At this point in our lives, is this where we really want to be? Have we done enough to make our lives better?" Sometimes, we just snap out of it and find the answers to these questions, yet there are also times when we know the answers have already been found but we just continue to ignore them. Think about it. What have you accomplished for the past six months? Where should you be in the next six months? Get there. Now.

Gargantuan!

The Bangui Bay Windfarm Project

These windmills are HUGE!!! The pictures can't even depict clearly how large these contraptions are.



Whoa!

Energy!

Books are so powerful. They can sway you easily into a way of thinking, they can push you to look into new perspectives and some if not most may even change your whole life! I came across a book, The Celestine Prophecy. I've heard of this title for at least once in my lifetime but I never knew how radical and "new age" it truly was.

The book is an attempt to explain why people ask so much, why we keep on searching for answers, why we are so restless. Later on it explains that evolution is an inevitable process, that we as humans are bound to evolve into so-called higher vibrations or higher forms of beings. It even tries to explain Catholic scripture in a new light, saying that Christ himself was the first practitioner of these new Insights. CONTROVERSY ALERT! hehehe.

The book also tries to explain the imbalances that cause the world to be what it is today, from the power struggle of nations to simple family conflicts, from Psychological problems to Vegetarianism. Weird isn't it? I can never truly explain what the book is all about, all I can say that it promotes a totally new concept of the world -at least to me, since I found out the book was published in 1993, and what year is it again?- another way to look at life and how to live life. And if you're the type of person who hates cliche self-empowering books, if I tell you that it hypothetically explains Jesus' Ascension into Heaven will you read it? (you Da Vinci Code genre junkie!)

People just love controversy, especially something against the Church and I wonder why.

After having sworn not to buy another gadget after my iPod (except for a Digicam maybe) here I am again craving for a GameBoy Micro... I'm broke and It's killing me, I've got to have one! (like Pokemon, gotta catchem'all!) Maybe this Christmas?ü...

A Starbucks Cup as My Tripod

Long overdue photos of the late 2006 World Pyro-olypmics held at Pasay City, Philippines. As the title says, I used a starbucks cup (Tall, brewed coffee) to keep the camera still. Special thanks to the couple in front of us. I never knew that it would create a romantic effect on the pictures. I didn't even realize that they were within the frame.ü
