China’s pollution is our pollution too.

With their thick fogs, it is no wonder their policemen’s life expectancy rate is at 40 years old.

It is in China where one can find 16 most polluted cities in the world. Out of 20.

Click here to read about the effects of these pollution.

Click here to read a lot of articles documenting about how its growth is probably choking the country.

Cars are even asked to get off the road to ease pollution or clear the skies for the forthcoming Olympics. There was even a suggestion that the cars go out on odd-even days, reminiscent of the traffic days we used to have, and still have here in Mega Manila. No, I am not kidding, click here and here.

I don’t want to think about what the dirty air would do to the athletes’ healthy lungs. Just thinking about it makes me feel that my nose is itching and my throat tightening.

China is also one of the countries where electronic wastes or e-waste is being dumped. People there, including children, melt the components as they try to look for something metallic to use or sell, inhaling poisonous fumes. Those that can’t be used are thrown into the rivers. Click here to read.

There is also this yucky green algae that has invaded the shorelines of Qingdao. Thousands of recruits from the People’s Liberation Army remove these algae by hand while standing knee-deep in it. Click here to read about its effect in the coming Olympics.

I have never been to China. I don’t have anything against the Chinese and their business and environmental practices. Maybe I do but I would rather keep these private.

My fervent wish if for them to curb these practices, not only for their sake but for the sake of other countries near them, for the sake of Mother Earth herself.

Sasha tagged me to spread the word on Breast Cancer Awareness for the month of June. My mother’s eldest sister had breast cancer and she left behind her three children (my first cousins) when they were still young.

Click the pink button above to read about Breast Cancer Awareness. Or click here.

Help spread the word. Do this tag and reach out to other people.

Ok, those two words above sound almost the same (at least to me). So what is a keffiyeh and what about Dunkin’ Donuts (DD) coffee? I just came across this term when I was reading the posts about this topic. All I know was it was probably called a scarf, a big scarf.

A keffiyeh is a checkered scarf, more known and seen being worn by Moslems. No surprise there because we have seen some personalities associated with the religious group, or even those who do not belong to the group but tries to blend with them, wear this. A variety or maybe a more popular variety is the red and white checkered one.

Michelle Malkin raised a ruckus when she wrote a blog entry about Rachael Ray wearing this keffiyeh in a DD ad. Pamela Geller wrote about it first. So what happened next? DD pulled out the ad. Yep, it did, and this is the link.

This here is another link.

Me? I’m outta here. I will just sleep off a sudden craving for donut, any glazed donut

We think the whole world is advancing right? Maybe it is because we have become technology-dependent, and “sophisticated”, in however we want to interpret the word. Why, even small children like my 6yo son Julian has a cell phone, though of course, it is an old, old one.

We think that because information can be had through wireless means mean that everywhere we go, that is the case. Of course, its not. There are still a lot of places, here in the Philippines as well as other countries where there is no electricity, where roads are unpaved and where people still have primitive ways.

In Brazil, a tribe was discovered. This here is a link, and another one over here. Photos can be seen here.

I wonder, the way the forest is dwindling so fast here in our country, we don’t have these kinds of tribes anymore.
