Hi! Haven’t been around much, been way too busy for the past 2 months because of upcoming deadlines that needs to be prioritized.
I think after all this, I really need a break.
Work remains the same, have all the reasons to keep me busy. Almost finish with the drawings needed for the project, hopefully me and my team can finish it by the end of the month. I know we can, it’s just that we have a lot to consider and I too, sometimes get overwhelmed with the stuff that needs to be done. Thank God that I have my team to depend on. I failed more than once in leading this team, I hope that I can do better as weeks pass by.
Life has been good, Yas’ been great supporting me with work. I too am proud about her achievements. In a few months she’ll graduate and hopefully she’ll stay here. Keeping my hopes up!
I already announced on Twitter that I won’t be accepting web design for now, since my work is eating up most of my time I can’t allow myself to be congested with more stuff. I already failed to provide WordPress themes to a client and I am so sorry for that. After that incident, I decided to stop accepting sidelines and concentrate more on my day job.
As for this website, I am trying to create a minimal design layout. Eliminate stuff that is not really needed and concentrate more on a cleaner layout. I’ll post a draft image soon.

Climate change is real. Addressing climate change requires a mix of
mitigation and adaptation. This requires more mitigation for
industrialized countries and more adaptation for developing countries.
This can be translated into one simple scenario : While the
industrialized world continues to send up tonnes of carbon into the
atmosphere, whether or not we blur the amounts through carbon credits,
hopes are fading for those who will be receiving the sharp end of the
Damocles sword; the developing world. The urgency is to realize that
this is not going to stop at 350 ppm, or even double at 600 ppm, the
Philippines has to realize that despite all the petitions and feel
good campaigns of dreams for a climate stabilized world, real
solutions need to be done. We have to get to the part where we learn
to start dealing with this. The country is located right beside the
warmest parts of the ocean that is in the perfect storm of vulnerable
coastlines, intense winds, and an observation of growing dumping of
large amounts of rain. We need to live in a world where climate will
hit the poorest of the poor first, regardless of where they live, it
will test our resiliency as a city, as a village, as a community, and
specially as a people. This song is dedicated to the awareness that
dealing with one ONDOY is not the victory, but a climate of change
will be the battle of this generation –
