Permalink Comments (1) Explosive Eruption In Halemaumau Crater in Hawaii After 84 Years!Posted Friday, March 21, 2008 (169 days 20 hours ago.) Viewed 43 times. After 84 years, at 2:58 am, Wednesday, March 19,2008, a small explosion occurred at Halemaumau Crater at the summit of Kilauea Volcano. The explosion scattered debris over an area of about 30 hectares covering portion of Crater Rim Drive and damaging the Halemaumau overlook. The activity was driven by hydrothermal gas sources as no lava erupted. Rock debris extended halfway across the floor of Halemaumau Crater. The debris was composed of rock fragments that were derived from the walls of Halemaumau Crater. The main explosion at 2:58 was associated with long period seismicity which was erroneously reported as an earthquake earlier. The explosion produced a small crater along the east wall of Halemaumau that is about 2-30 meters in diameter. Sulfur dioxide emissions from the new explosion crater are still elevated, and sounds of rock breaking are frequent. This is the first explosion in Halemaumau Crater since 1924 and the first eruption of any kind in Kilauea Caldera since Spetember 1982. Watch the latest on Halemaumau Crater !

I haven't had sex in seven years!!! For most Filipinos this might be not too hard to believe, since the culture dictates it. More so because I don't live in the metropolis where there are too many temptations. I live on the northern part of the country that's very provincial. When you're single woman and not married and have three kids, you find it harder to do things like having sex with somebody you like. Society is cruel. Moral values specially in provincial areas are strong. It's like volunteering to have yourself burned to death at the stakes. I know, I know, do it because it makes you happy. I've heard that before, but I came to a realization that I haven't actually done it because I'm still not ready. Sounds crazy isn't it? 33 year old single mother, warm, caring, and passionate, successful.... hmmmm...."What is wrong with you?!" There was once a very popular senator in our country, his name was Juan Flavier, he became really famous because of his interesting promotions of birth control methods in the Philippines, he had one tag line out of the hundreds he made..... ABCs of birth control. I would like to apply that and use it for this blog modifying it a little bit... the ABCs of CELIBACY. A-Abstain. I do a lot of that. I've actually been doing it for seven years... abstaining. It is kind of hard to do at times. But I get this feeling, okay you like the guy, he likes you. You're getting there and you just feel it isn't just right. Would you still go on? I don't. Sex is a wonderful act. It's a celebration of love between two people. I would rather be passionate with someone who I feel strongly for, than ACT like I was enjoying it just because I needed it. B- Be busy. Life isn't just about satisfying your carnal needs. There's a whole lot of things to do. Be friends with everyone. Be smart! Just because you're getting this really, warm fuzzy feeling between your legs, you don't have jump in to bed with the first guy that comes your way. C-Constantly remind yourself what you really want. What's in your heart. Who's in your heart. (I added a WHO because I do have someone special. Its not just the right time for both of us though.) Call it old fashioned, but that's what I want for now. Those are my ABC's to Celibacy. I don't plan on being celibate my whole life though. One day, when the right time comes. I will enjoy it. I will do it with all the pent up passion, love and desire that has been brewing for the past years. Comments are welcome, violent or otherwise. ;)
Permalink Comments (2) Kilauea Lava FlowPosted Saturday, March 15, 2008 (175 days 23 hours ago.) Viewed 27 times. "Spectacular" "unbelievable" "nature at work" words fail to describe the magnificence of Kilauea. The only active volcano in the United States, Kilauea has been in a constant state of eruption since 1983. Watch the molten lava flow and cascade into the ocean, steaming, churning, and forming new land right before your very eyes. Be a witness to creation. Lava has once again flowed from Kilauea Volcano located at the big island of Hawaii! It has flowed through a residential subdivision and has attracted numerous onlookers. County & Civil Defense Officials howe ver has restricted residents and tourists from viewing the lava flow for safety reasons. As of to date, a schedule has been made at specific hours where you can see actual, visible lava flowing above ground. There are designated viewing areas to increase safety among onlookers and residents. The lava has already spilled to the ocean attracting a more curious crowd. Kilauea Volcano had been erupting for 25 years, however it has only been recent that its lava has started flowing again to an area that is accessible. This natural occurrence has boosted visits from all over the Big Island and all over the world. Mark De Vita, a volcano tour guide has stated that this would boost Hawaii's Tourism since this is not something that you see often. "Business has been slow for the past few months, but since lava flow has once again become visible, I get calls from as far as Australia, Europe, New Zealand, Japan and mainland US!" Mark is an expert at guided Lava Tours within the area affected by the Lava Flow. If you live near the area or willing to witness the phenomenon, check it out! Who knows when the next lava flow will happen? "No alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me, but Hawaii, no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt my sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as Hawaii has done. Other things leave me, but it abides."---MARK TWAIN
Permalink Comments (0) I Love You Manny Pacquiao!!Posted Saturday, March 15, 2008 (175 days 23 hours ago.) Viewed 22 times. Tomorrow at 11 am , Philippine time, I will be glued to the TV, along with my 3 sons, waiting, anticipating for that much talked about fight between Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. As always, when when Manny Pacquiao is on a fight, I will be at the edge of my seat, holding my breath, screaming and cheering along with my kids, with the whole neighborhood and with the whole country. I have never been a boxing aficionado but there is something about the Pacman that has affected not only the masses but also those from the upper crust population of our country. I am pretty sure that everyone is just so tired with the ZTE deal scandal that the people have been watching on TV for the past 2 weeks that this fight between the Pacman and Marquez will be a breath of fresh of air to many Filipinos. I have heard of sports commentator's takes on the fight. And most are leaning on the outcome that once again Pacquiao would win either through KO in early rounds, KO on the late rounds or by decision. Whatever the decision would be, whatever bets were made. I will be praying along with millions of Filipinos that Manny Pacquiao would win and bring our country honor and prestige once again in the line of boxing. I am also praying that the hero of the Filipino masess wouldn't get hurt so much, that he wouldn't get a split lip or that he wouldn't break his nose. But I know this is wishful thinking. He would get hurt, he would get beaten up but he will still stand tall and put up a good fight for everyone. This is what makes me so proud to be Filipino. When you watch an interview of Manny Pacquiao, he gets across you or any Filipino, that this is not his fight alone but a fight of the whole country. Manny Pacquiao fights not only to prove how strong his punches are, but to prove to the whole world, that on this little island in the SouthEast Asia Region, called the Philippines, there is a great Filipino boxer called Manny Pacquiao. Once again, Manny, good luck to you! You make us proud to be Pinoy! I love you Manny Pacquiao!!!! For more on the latest between the Pacquiao and Marquez fight, click here.
