PRESERVE FOSSIL FUEL.... USE WATER...


At the current rate of consumption, there is about 250 to 350 years of fossil fuels left on Earth. Most of this is coal. There is only about 25 to 40 years of oil left on Earth. It is difficult to make an accurate prediction with oil because the rate of consumption can change drastically as developing nations grow.

The amount of oil left in the world is predicted to be around 1.2 trillion barrels of oil. More oil is likely to be discovered, but declines in oil supplies are currently outpacing newfound oil supplies according to National Geographic; this means that supplies are dropping. In 2008 production from the world’s mature oil fields was declining at a rate of 6.7% a year. This is likely to get worse over time. 1.2 trillion barrels of oil may sound like a huge amount, which it is, but the problem is that the human race consumes a huge amount at the same time, with oil stocks declining and levels that are outpacing demand. Many observers believe the day of peak oil production has passed, and other optimists estimate it will only be a matter of years before we pass peak production. 1.2 trillion barrels means that oil will run out in 44 years based on current usage figures. Although is it predicted that the time when oil will run out will come sooner due to the increasing usage and demand in the developing economies of the world, especially in China and India, where usage has increased dramatically in the past decade. Some estimates estimate that oil will run out in as little as 25 years, others say there is enough oil left in the world to last for 40 years. There is no definite date, but it is imminent.
As well as the threat on the impact of our daily lives like not being able to run a car as we did or the possibility of having to change our levels of usage of electrical products, there is a wider political factor here; the dwindling stocks of fossil fuels are likely to create conflicts in the future between nations seeking security of their fossil fuel reserves. 
Basing on the above facts, fossil fuel needs to be preserved.  Aside   from being a major contributory factor in increasing carbon emissions to the environment (which speeds up global warming) fossil fuel is an essential substance that is needed by generations to come.  Our present generation has depleted much of the current fossil fuel reserves due to industry innovations and high demand of fossil fuel use due to industrialization.  
So what effect will it be if humanity starts using water and other alternative energy sources in order to preserve fossil fuels from complete depletion?  Majority of governments around the world are against the use and proliferation of alternative sources of energy and fuel such as water. Why? It is mainly due to some people who have invested too much on a resource that is currently on the way towards depletion and extinction.  Only a few e people who hold sensitive positions in global economies and governments benefit from this trade, sacrificing those whom they govern and supposedly serve just to attain personal gratification and monopoly.  Greed for money and power, these are the reasons why they go against the use of such alternative sources of energy.  
Water is energy, water is power and water is the solution for a cleaner environment.  It will save the remaining reserves of fossil fuels needed by the succeeding generations to come. It will definitely free countries who  depend much on the use of fossil fuels to run their economy. So why hinder the use of a technology that will lift up a country from poverty?  Elevating it into an economy that will uplift a nation towards progress, ridding it of dependence to fossil fuels that they dim not possess. 
PRESERVE FOSSIL FUELS, USE IT LESS....USE ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY..... MAKE USE OF THE MOST ABUNDANT RESOURCE IN THE WORLD,.....USE WATER TO RUN THE ECONOMY....

The Wonder of Water

Water will always be an essential element for the earth to survive. Without it, life won't be possible.  Water volume within the earth's boundaries remains unchanged ever since. It is, the most abundant substance on the face of the earth. Water is used in a lot of ways, making it as an essential ingredient in maintaning life on earth . Water is a source of power and energy.

Chemistry breakdowns water into two elements, 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen. During our   high school and college Chemistry experiments regarding electrolysis (separating Hydrogen from Oxygen using electricity remember?), we had doubts on wether the bubbles we created were really hydrogen . We doubted the possibility of having water as fuel for it costs more to produce Hydrogen  than the actual Hydrogen output it will  produce. These kind of  mindset had been thought of during those  times when computers were a rarity, when people communicated through land lines and through the  censoring of the media. Today, as we face the challenges of this new millennium, innovation in communication and information dissemination has escalated into such an unbelievable stage making the world smaller and much easier for people to communicate, anywhere around the world.

People had been working ever since on the possibility of converting water into gas.  The Internet is one proof to attest to this fact.. A long list of personalities  have invested money, time and effort just to prove their claim that water is fuel. Compiled findings and observations that had remained obscure for the past decades out of fear of being eaten alive by oil mongrels, are now being posted in the Internet, some even selling it at a price.

Oil producing companies will do whatever it has in its power to deter this kinds of alternative energy.  It's quite too obvious that having an alternative source of energy would mean less use of fossil fuel, resulting to lowered prices of oil products leading to loss of billions of dollars in oil exploration and proliferation. They will end up selling their fuel at a price dictated upon by its consumers. Monopoly on fossil  fuel  will be minimized, global  economy will improve making poor and developing countries compete head on with their counterpart nations. Let us always remember that its the fuel that makes the economy run. And with water as an alternative source of fuel, there will be less carbon  and green house gases being emitted to the  atmosphere, saving the earth from the wraths of global warming.

Communicating with fellow scientists and HHO (Hydrogen,Hydrogen, Oxygen) enthusiasts, a local group of Filipino and American HHO enthusiasts have come up with a version of a fuel cell that separates H2O (water) into HH0 gas. We invite people who have the same interests in doing this science.  Join our HHO Philippine group in Face Book, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1742005232&v=wall&story_fbid=134930766518743#!/group.php?gid=360232803470&ref=ts
 join in discussions and learn how  to build your own HHO fuel cell (we call it the H.O.G. -Hydrogen-Oxygen-Generator), it works and its amazing. This innovation is not rocket science, it only needs logical thinking and skeptics are discouraged to join, we need believers for change.

CROSSROADS

The political battle arena is starting to heat up. Countdown towards the nation's final judgement nears. Expect mud slinging and character defamations among the players involved in this battle for excelllency and honor.  It's a tight race, where even those who can't vote due to citizenship debate among themselves who deserves to lead the country . Family members argue among themselves who will be the next leaders of a nation that needs to recover from an imbalanced economy and moral degeneration.

It's a first in Philippine history where the elections has an all-star cast of characters, all claiming that they are best fit to sit as leaders, declaring themselves as heroes while the adversary is the villain.

"Chopsuey" line ups stir within the minds of the mindful voter, not risking to waste he's vote. The winners have to be chosen from different sources, and that is democracy in motion.

Baguio City is not an exemption, campaigning here has intensified. People are starting to show their colors, supporting those whom they believe will rear Baguio towards true change. Baguio is deteriorating, though it continues to urbanize.  It maintains its title as the Summer Capital of the archipelago but it is threatened,  if the next set of officials fail  to spear-head a strong and reliable local government. True change is what Baguio need right now.

Baguio needs people with integrity, dedication,honor,experience, mission and vision of transforming Baguio back to its usual state of  grandness.

We are on a crossroad, and we need to choose only one path. We do not see what is in the future, but we know what is right for us and for the majority today. We have that right to make change.

By The People, For The People

There are certain laws that are essential for the welfare of the country and its citizens. These laws need to be enforced and civil servants should be entrusted with authority and respect to carry out that enforcement.

The relationship between you, me and a government official is similar to the relationship between a customer and businessman; wherein the customer is always right, they are the reason for the business’ existence. It is not as though the government is God and we are only people. It is not that the government is the parent and we are their children. The government is not royalty and we are not their subjects. We the people are the government.  So, it is just right for us to bring out what we know is right.

We expect them to be helpful, friendly, prompt and objective in their enforcement. We also expect them to prioritize their activity, to enforce laws against those whose noncompliance costs us, the citizens, the most money. If they would do that however, they would start price fixing, bribing of government officials for big contracts and monopoly attempts, etc. We expect them to do everything with the general welfare of the country in mind. They should keep in mind the fact that we are the tax-paying citizens who deserve fair and courteous treatment.

Government officials and employees are not little low earning poverty stricken people. These people make more than how much they earn in a year. They make more than 90% of the citizens they govern. We are paying them a good amount and we want our money's worth, yet we are being denied of this right.

We expect the the government to hire only honest, fair, friendly and competent people. But how could we the people believe in this when what we see in the government are a bunch of crocodiles and big mouth sharks, stalking even the poorest hard earning individual.

We expect those who have been mandated by law to perform not for their own self interests, but for the interests of a country that needs a boost from those who govern. Such expectation however is vague, for those who have been elected seem to be the head of a pyramidal structure slowly crumbling unto those who have been responsible for their mandate. We expect enforcement action to be taken reluctantly and only as a resort, when no other measure would correct damage to the public, or if the citizen who violated the law was totally uncooperative and found to be one who violated the law deliberately and with malicious intent. But how could such be, when those who are in charge of enforcement violates what they have been instructed to enforce.

The government should support people who provide the meal ticket for the rest of society and institutions, from schools, hospitals, infrastructure, health care etc. Entrepreneurs are the life of society’s economy. However, support from the government through subsidies and assistance has not been well attended too, resulting to high unemployment and underemployment rates. They should encourage more micro enterprises within the roots and eliminate too much bureaucracy.

Instead of bureaucratic conveniences, the government should start talking about the citizen’s convenience. Life is a constant dilemma between choosing the lesser of two evils. We are currently sacrificing the freedom and economic welfare of the country to gain bureaucratic convenience. They should start making laws for our convenience, not the convenience of the bureaucrats.

The government has a certain percentage of criminals in society. This is a fact so obvious that even the silenced dead would definitely agree upon. From the highest echelons of the government down to the lowest paid bureaucratic employee, criminals abound. Sad too say that only those on the lower ranks tend to be convicted, while those in a higher position, either delay justice or escape conviction.

In dealing with a government agency you are going to run into a corrupt official, or a group of corrupt officials. Not only do we have unfriendly, unhelpful and arrogant government officials and employees but they too are malicious, crabs that tend to pull you down when the stakes are high. It's amazing, people whom you pay to perform services for you, not only refuse to help you, but they actually look for ways to hurt you. Does the government have some kind of secret test or some kind of secret way that makes all people who work for it, all-good, all knowing, totally honest, infallible, and incapable of any criminal action? A reason why there is a minimal conviction regarding corruption in government affairs.

With more agencies being created and gaining in power, there are a large percentage of businesses where you now have to ask an unelected bureaucrat for permission to go into business. On his arbitrary decision alone, he can delay you to the point where it destroys your venture. This is nothing more than enslavement, and that is what most of us are experiencing now. There are of course good breeds among those who are serving the country. Government people who believes in the essence of democracy, that the government is by the people and for the people.

Election is fast approaching. Let us think and be wise in choosing those who will lead us, crossing our fingers that those who will be mandated will lead in redifining these government.

Dying Young

All along we have been medically informed that cancer is incurable, and having the big C requires treatments so benign, that it uses up material resources that one have earned through hard work, resulting to accumulated debts and anxieties to those who are left behind.
Cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart attacks, high blood pressure and other diseases that continues to plague humanity have and will always stay amongst us humans, even if medical science continues researching on how to cure and treat this medical malaise's. Why? Because it is being caused by those who knows about the human anatomy, those whom we have relied on to safe guard our health, those who promote good health, those who claim to feed and love life.
It is but logical to think that those who research and study these diseases, those who come up with treatments and alleged cures, belong to multi billion pharmaceutical companies that sell medicines and drugs for profit. It is likewise logical that those who manufacture foods that feed the human race belongs to multi billion food companies that process what we eat and drink everyday. Looking on the economies of scale regarding this matter, one has to manufacture something at a cheap production price, and sell it at a profitable selling price, doing less and having more. It is all about the money.
You may consider me paranoid when I say that most pharmaceutical companies really aren't after curing nor treating diseases of sick people. That food companies really don't care what they put in their processed food. They are always, just like any other business entities, going after the profits, going after the money. It ain't wrong to apply the art of making money, but it seems so wrong to do it at the expense of those whom they want to cure and feed supposedly. My claims seems to be unjustified, but through research, awareness and interaction with curious minds, the puzzle of how diseases such as AIDS, SARS, Birds Flu, Swine Flu, Cancer, Arthritis, Diabetes etc. came about is not because of nature, not because of God but because of man's greed for money and power. It is in the food we eat, the medicines we take, the water and fluids we drink and the air we breath. So don't be surprised that people who lived 100 years ago died old, and we the young of today will die young.

Recycling Problem

Calamities do serve its purpose... it continues to remind......it re occurs, again, and again and again. Man too have always contributed to the environment and mankinds destruction. We have speeded up the depletion of our one earth. Man have purposely, and (un)knowingly contributed to the deterioration and degradation of human ethics and social/environmental balance. Its a recycling problem, a riddle, that man have long solved yet failed to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Acts of God .... Thy Will be done,... but acts of men....depriving men to live... is not an Act of God...it is an act of the un-godly.

Let us pray for those who unwantedly died.....they have to go...because of acts of men.... may they rest in peace.

Mother Nature's Answer

The recent flooding of Metro Manila and nearby provinces proved that Mother Nature indeed is unstoppable. It continues to remind us of what power it has to submerge continents, how it could easily wipe out the human race with heavy rains, earthquakes and gigantic tsunamis in minutes. Do we have to blame Typhoon Ondoy, Mother Nature's wake up emissary, for such a catastrophe? World wide, similar incidents such as what has happened, occur everyday. Yet us humans continue to ignore such a calling. We tend to bypass the message brought about by Mother Nature's wrath. Mother Nature is just part of this disaster, and we humans have contributed more. Look into the cause and effects of global warming, and adapt the ways of how we could slow it down. We have to do it now, before mother nature gives us more answers.
