I learned about the Disappearing Aral Sea when my husband was so engrossed with watching the BBC series Long Way Round starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.
How could I have missed this? I asked myself because I have always been “fascinated” with the environment and its drastic and damaging changes.
Here is a link to some videos on YouTube that features the Aral Sea.
Here is a CNN video of the Aral Sea and the topic of Repairing an Environmental Disaster.
News about oil spills never cease to make me sad like the Louisiana Oil Spill that happened a few weeks ago. Not only do oil spills cause health concerns to the people living near the body of water where the accident happened, oil spills also does ecological imbalance that takes several years of rehabilitation to “repair” the damage that has been done.
No one wants oil spills and being face to face with a Louisiana Jones Act.
For countries/places with few resources to help them do clean-up and rehabilitation, it is indeed a scenario one does not wish to be faced with. Of course, with cases like oil spills, those who did damage should be made responsible. I hope the lawmakers in our country will make laws that will address these disasters, if they have not done anything about it yet.

Bulaklak. Para sa akin, winner ang sunflower. Meron ako niyan dito, dito at dito. Ay teka, meron pa pala dito 😀
Gusto ko ito siguro kasi napakasaya ng kulay nito na talaga namang nakakapagbigay ng ngiti sa akin.
Kuha ito nung isang taon. Hindi pa masyado malalaki ang mga sunflowers nung napasyal kami kung saan marami ito. Sana kapag napunta ako (at sana malapit na kasi maulan na eh baka mawala na sila) hindi *magloko ang kamera ko para maganda ang mga kuha ko.
*nagloloko kasi kung minsan, madilim ang kuha sa outdoor 🙁

Ano nga ba ang mga hudyat ng pagbabago?
Makabagong teknolohiya?
Mga kalyeng puwede maikumpara sa international standards?
Isang lipunang may tugon sa pangangailangan ng mga tao?
Tama lahat iyan.
Eto, SCTEx, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway. Bagama’t mas malayo ang biyahe kumpara sa Olongapo-Gapan road, tipong mas madali dahil walang trapik.
Pabor ito sa mga manlalakbay katulad namin (kahit na ito ay mas malayo at mas mahal kesa sa dating dinadaan). Katunayan, may bus na nga na dumadaan dito.
Kaya ang isang pala-isipan sa akin ang mga bayang hindi na nadadaanan.
Hindi kaya sila mahalintulad sa Route 66 na nai-feature sa Cars movie? Hmmmm…
Sino na ang bibili sa mga naglalako ng prutas, gulay, meron pang isda, alimango at suka (vinegar)? Meron pa din siguro pero nabawasan na.
