the revenge of mother nature

Another earthquake in Japan killing, so far, 9, and injuring hundreds. Hasn’t it been just a few weeks ago (roughly two months, if my memory serves me right), since something tragic hit Myanmar and China? Today is a school day, but instead of wearing my pristine white uniform, I had to wear a jacket over my white blouse, and a pair of sweatpants, to my 5:30AM work. It almost took 30 minutes to get to work (compared to the ususal 10-15 minutes), and by the time that I did, my top was wet all the way to the elbows and my pants all the way to my knees, and I was shivering in the cold and  hoping that my supposedly waterproof bag did its job (which it thankfully did). Did I mention that I got this wet by having my mom deliver me only to the kanto of our subdivision (because she once dared to challenge the floods of Matina, Davao City, and lost badly, and wasn’t about to challenge her fate anytime soon, or for the rest of her life for that matter), waited for a ride under the feeble protection of my extremely large umbrella, got a ride (multicab. The taxis were all taken.), prayed with all my might that the car would be safe from the harms brought about by the easily-flooded area near Buffet Palace in Matina, then walked 50 meters under unforgiving rain and over more unforgiving puddles-turning-the-Nile?

I have long since stopped believing in concidences, and am not about to start anytime soon. We are the culprits, people! Imagine a 0.8-degree-Celsius increase in international temperature doing all these things! Want to see what happens after 5.2 degrees more? I don’t! And I might never live to see it, seeing as how this day might eliminate all of us, or, well, leave only the fittest, which doesn’t leave enough room for me in the picture. Damn, I hate it when I try my best to do something good, but everything else seems to be against me.

To all the human beings reading this: let us all congratulate ourselves and give each other a pat on the back for destroying our world bit by bit! Congratulations, people! CONGRATULATIONS!

I am not against Global Warming and Climate Change. All I am is for Environmental Preservation.

I AM FOR THE EARTH AND AGAINST NOTHING!!!!!

Oh boy.
