Earth Hour pictures of the Quezon Memorial Shrine, and some playing around with light streaks. Thanks Don for letting me use the tripod!
a different celebration
Posted by: rina on: October 8, 2008
So I sit here, barely two hours before my birthday, typing away at my laptop, which was exactly the way I feared I would spend my birthday. A couple of weeks ago I was toying with the idea of celebrating it by stuffing my backpack and going off somewhere by myself, but obviously, nothing came [...]

My sister flew home from Taiwan for a visit a few weeks ago, and she alerted me that Cebu Pacific’s in-flight magazine contained an article on Dr. Laurence Heaney. Fortunately, the article is available online and I didn’t have to book a flight to be able to read the feature on one of my favorite [...]
Kagsabua, 3
Posted by: rina on: July 21, 2008
Even as I was gushing about the magnificent beauty of the Philippine Eagle in my previous entry, yet another eagle was shot dead in the forests of the Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park in Bukidnon province.

If it’s possible to fall in love with a bird…
this would be The One.
“It is possible that no one has ever described this rare raptor, one of the world’s largest, without using the word “magnificent.” If there are those who did, then heaven heal their souls.”
“In the kind of irony all too familiar to conservationists, [...]

During Earth Day last year, I and some friends at the Renewable Energy Coalition joined the celebrations at the EarthDay Jam street party in T. Morato, Quezon City giving out these babies:
The “Renewables Now!” baller ID calls for a more aggressive development of the country’s renewable energy resources in order to promote energy [...]
Celebrity Chest Hair and Rainforests
Posted by: rina on: May 22, 2008
Harrison Ford gets his chest waxed to help save rainforests. The connection? When we lose forests in, let’s say, the Sierra Madre, or halfway around the world in the Amazon, we also get the full impact of it over here, in terms of carbon released into the atmosphere and its ensuing effects on the climate.

Exhibit day yesterday and D-Day today
Posted by: rina on: June 10, 2008
Scenes from yesterday’s opening of the three-day World Environment Day Exhibit at Greenbelt 3 Concierge Area, where the Renewable Energy Coalition is one of the exhibitors.
