My sister groaned the fact that she doesn't read the newspaper, or watch the news. I assured her that the only things she needed to know was:
1. Global Warming
- it's affecting us now. And biofuel is so not going to be part of the solution.
2. David Cook
-is the newly crowned American Idol. He won by 12 million votes against David Archuleta, thank God. And sometimes, I'd like to think that he's mine, muhahahaha. We're COOKin'!!
3. Rice Shortage in the Philippines
- it does not friggin' exist. I ate in an italian resto that was taking advantage of it that had a sign on the door that said, "Save Rice, Eat Spaghetti."
4.The Questionable Electric Billing in the Nation
- for heaven's sakes, it's killing us that oil prices have skyrocketed, what's with the electric billing that is ridiculously sapping the nation, poor as it is already? The government officials certainly have something to do with it, whatever other people say.
And so far, a super typhoon had hit my hometown and I'm not exactly thrilled to go back to a place with no electricity. At least the Questionable Electric Billing thing won't affect us for a month.

Hiya and thanks for the invite.
I do believe that we get to know what we need to know.
I've stopped watching the news on TV and reading the newspapers because it depresses me so much and end up feeling useless and helpless , which of course I am not.
I know there are problems in the world and I personally do what I can whilst trying to stay grounded and in a place of love and compassion as it is from this place that I know I can contribute to the welfare of the planet and NOT when I am fearful , panicky or depressed.
Write on jadesecret.. I look forward to reading more of your posts
