Climate Change

Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of  weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions ( more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, platetectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as global warming.

The most general definition of climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time, regardless of cause. Accordingly, fluctuations over periods shorter than a few decades, such as El Nino, do not represent climate change.

Without the unity in global politics world doesn't stand the chance against climate change. Hopefully, world leaders will realize this before it's too late. Though as some say world could already be too late to do something about it.

Christmas Season

CHRISTMAS is the most awaited season for Filipinos. Many of Filipinos look forward to non- working holidays family reunions and gift-giving. But Filipinos’ ways on celebrating Christmas is sometimes funny. Christmas is celebrated during December but Filipinos celebrate this way too long.

As early as September, houses are already painted with Christmas décors and sometimes families would not remove it until March. It is somehow a bit unusual that Christmas decors are present during  Halloween-trick-or-treats.

That’s a Filipino way of saying “hello ber-months it’s Christmas time!”

         

Love is also tagged during this season. Some Filipinos would race to have a  lelifeovduring Christmas. Some would do everything to have a special someone in their lives. One reason for this is for them to receive a  gift for Christmas or not to be a part of the “Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko” (SMP).

Filipinos are celebrating Christmas with a big smile. We do not frown on Christmas season. We smile amidst all problems and trials.
