What Christmas Should Be...

Christmas must be the time for GIVING.

Super Typhoon Yolanda left 5,500 killed, 1175 missing and 21,615 with over 10.3 billion Peso worth of battered infrastructures but brought billions of hands and still counting to lift the victims. Countries around the world have dropped tons of relief goods in Visayas. Establishments provide closed cans where customers can drop their help for the people devastated by Yolanda. Television networks aired the appalling condition of affected areas to persuade viewers to help.

This is the very essence of Christmas – to give, to help selflessly. It is when Jesus was born to start the way of God, the way to God. He sacrificed His life to save our sins, to fill our despair, and to show us that there is life after death.

Now that our brothers and sisters in Visayas are facing the wrath of nature this Christmas, let us give them a hand to stand and to be thankful that Jesus has been born again in every hearts of Filipinos. Let us live out the true meaning of Christmas. Let us live in an oasis of giving and helping, for that is how Christmas should be.

Karma!

There are many news today that are unimaginable. There are typhoons with wind that can wreak concretes and bring surges. There are rapid increase and decrease in temperature in the environment causing health problems. There are melting of ice in Earth’s poles that results to great floods.

Scientists tell that the only thing that causes these calamities is Climate Change. It is simply the change in climate, for example drought in the Antarctic.

Climate Change occurs because of Global Warming. Global warming is the abnormal heating of Earth caused by the build-up of chemicals in the atmosphere. This build-up traps the reflected rays from the Earth’s surface that came from the sun. These rays accumulate which gives a very high temperature.

It is also believed that the Ozone Depletion or the thinning of the Ozone Layer of Earth’s atmosphere which traps Ultraviolet Rays caused by the chemicals called Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) affect the heating of the Earth.

All of these chemicals of death are made by selfish men. Companies, vehicles, sprays, appliances, and other products produce this chemicals.

This is the manifestation that what one give is what one get, originally or worse.
