This has been the latest statement coming from the Philippine National Red Cross in the eve of captivity by the dreaded kidnap for ransom terror group Abu Sayyaf. Red Cross is STAYING in Mindanao.

Our family has fallen victim with the same group in the last quarter of 2008 when my Aunt Milet Mendoza that works for an NGO who takes care of war stricken victims was kidnapped by the same. I hate them for making a living out of this. Now, even the more innocent, neutral Red Cross representatives were kidnapped by the same group. I am just appalled together with the entire community because all they wanted to do was help. Now their lives are all in danger. Not only that, but the projects that they have spearheaded are all stopped because these bandits made a score again for kidnapping these foreigners. In an earlier interview, the first one even said that he was not afraid of getting kidnapped because he knows that they are only doing charity work and education in that region of southern Philippines. Little did they know that these men know no laws; even the laws of humanity.

I don't even know if anything would be an effective deterrent to the activities of this group. I couldn't suggest ethnic cleansing because killing them all would just make us as worst as they are. I hope God provides them safety in their unending dillema in Mindanao. Weather it's Andreas Notter, 38, of Switzerland; Eugenio Vagni, 62, of Italy; and Mary Jean Lacaba, 37, of the Philippines; they deserve their freedom, they have a lot of hooligans that should be put to jail and starting to kidnap the kidnapper's families maybe one way of flushing them out. I wish they all are fine. May God and Allah have mercy on their soul!

Russia and Ukraine Reach Gas Deal

With the millions of people suffering the coldest nights ever recorded in Europe, this is the agreement they have been waiting for. Amidst the charges pitted against each other, Russia and Ukraine had agreed to resume natural gas supplies as soon as possible. A welcome gesture from both sides play an optimistic role in the high tensioned countries in this side of the globe. The Prime Minister from Ukraine would be working on the papers set in this day's agreement so that the pipelines would now get fixed free from stealing parties in their side and a rate that is similar to one charged to them previously. This large 11-day halt in deliveries of gas piped across Ukraine had many families suffering from hypothermia. The hardships getting wood and fuel to temporarily ease their needs that only Russia are endless; and they are clamoring help from neighboring countries that can force the European Union to take actions. After signing on an agreement this Monday, analysts predict a slow turn of events for Ukraine because Russia's side are still not working on getting their people back for resumption of work. I hope everyone takes a look at this because poor countries mostly in Eastern Europe only have natural gas used for their heaters. This is a necessity for every household and no one is getting help yet so making sure everything's back to normal is highly needed. Europe gets about 20 percent of its gas needs from Russia via Ukraine's sprawling pipeline network, but Eastern European countries such as Bulgaria and Slovakia are totally dependent on Russian gas. They and the businesses in their country are rationing the power already. This is hurting their economy and the people too much.

We all know now how we should start saving energy because in the long run this will run out. Japan and the US are harnessing renewable forms of energy and are now keeping their yards green with nature loving vehicles. Home owners also are practicing ways to protect the environment by using less toxic FREON based air conditioning units. Heaters have been extremely more efficient now as they are introduced in the market with various features. They can even now place heaters that only concentrate on certain areas of the house rather than everywhere which would cost anybody’s electric bill skyrocket. Good thing the best space heater saves you a lots of money and provides you with the same ecologically friendly solution that anyone needs now. Need I say anything more nature lovers?

Tired but I'm Okay Today

What a tiring day... I've been walking painfully in my white boots again and strutted around a few malls in the QC area. I went out with friends from college which I'll be blogging about as soon as I get the pictures uploaded and boy it was so tiring. I did not even get that much sleep so I'm ailing while in the office. But I was happy... =)

I'm starting my day with tons of reports and make that a priority. I'm about to finish it actually so after that I'm gonna stick to focusing on my project. I can't leave it like other things here.

I bought a new bag too from AIRWALK ^_^ weeee! well I liked that bag since time in memorial so I just bought it today. Maybe I'll be using this soon... in a few places that I plan to go to with my wifey... I think I wanna get married soon.. I just think... I don't do yet hehehe... but that will be easy come crunch time. Maybe I'll shock everybody else ^_^

Just like anybody... I need to get some sleep...maybe tommorow... I just cant do it now because I'm still at work....

Health Matters

Health care has been a phenomenal subject that spelled presidential candidates in the US. You all know where Hillary Clinton in the primaries of the Democratic Nominations went to and won the debates. Now that the President elect is now THE PRESIDENT of the US, its about high time now that they take care of the middle and working class. Like the promises that they made to every senior citizen and veterans that attended their rallies, they should do it now.

Getting everybody into the proper health care system would be beneficial to the country's workforce. If you have them taken cared of, there would be no problems whatsoever with recovering in the financial crisis. They now learn to invest more in people rather than putting funds into volatile pockets of executives who started this mess in the first place.You should start by going out that door and getting quotes for you and your family. People in Las Vegas who usually play along the glistening lights of the desert should go grab their own Vegas Health Insurance Quote. Health is indeed wealth as everbody knows in the state of Nevada. That's why they knew who to vote because of the right principles of their candidate. Aren't you glad you have your family safe at home? We should stick with Aetna, Anthem, Humana, United Healthcare / United Health One and they provide them all in one place.
