Swimming Pool Ad For Regional Environmental Awareness
Dec 30th
Global warming has gotten into us, right? But not all of us are concerned. I’ve seen several who don’t mind. But I do. And with that, let me share this unique environmental awareness advertisement.
The advertisement was placed in a swimming pool to give a metaphorical sense to one of the effects of global warming — water levels rising. Let’s compare it to our skylines submerged in water. Are we ever going to let that happen?
“Don’t let this be our future. Save our rainforest, stop global warming.”
Got this beautiful photo from Creative Criminals. Let’s all together save our planet. Please.
Maribago is my Quasi-Paradiso
Oct 28th
The first time I’ve been to Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort, I was more or less 11 years old. I still have pictures of the place (and me) stacked here in the photo album but I’d rather not share… too embarrassing. The second time I was there I was already 19 years old 
and that was last summer where Maribago Bluewater invited us bloggers to explore the place. The third time was weeks ago when they opened their art gallery and we were invited to witness its grand opening. And the fourth time is what I’ll be sharing about now.
Sir Ruben Licera from Maribago/CBS told us that every Sunday starting October 25 until four weeks, 5 bloggers are given free day-tour passes to the resort. I signed up for the first Sunday, October 25. I then knew that the slots for October 25 were increased to 10 (and November 1 would be cancelled). Lucky or not?
My first goal for that resort trip was to rest. I’ve had excreted much energy last semester and I thought I might recharge at the beach. Well, all these inkling thoughts, erased.
Mikyu, Kai, Iggy, Atty. Ouano, Beejing, Agnes, Mark, Zyra, Blair and I were the first bloggers to enjoy Maribago’s treat.
Bloggers enjoying the resort's serenity
We went to the resort around 9am as instructed by Sir Ruben. We then passed by the front desk, we were allowed in and went directly to the beach front. At this point, we were clueless with what to do. Kill time, I suppose. We picked those beach chairs under the huts but were told by officers that we are not allowed to do so unless we are checked-in. Ah, day-tour guests are only allowed those beach chairs unaccompanied by huts, lol. Remember that. Read the rest of this entry »
Think Green, Think Super Green
Sep 9th
Green ethics – one of the most unusual words to hear when you talk about web hosting. Green ethics simply mean running a technology-bound life with sustainable development in the forefront of the principles adhered. Since natural imbalance and ecological backlash are one of the hottest topics nowadays, companies try to contribute to the lessening of nature’s destruction by simply going green – by reducing their carbon foot print. From Wikipedia, carbon foot print is “the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product”. To achieve this, companies make use of “green” devices, those that produce lesser carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
One of the few web hosting providers who adhere to green ethics is Super Green Hosting. Super Green Hosting makes use of Dell servers that produces 20% less carbon dioxide than the average server. The company also is involved in tree planting projects which of course is very helpful to combat global warming. But how could you be of any help? Here goes: Read the rest of this entry »
