Fish kill in Batangas

I don't know where to start my post, since I forgot the day when the fish kill in Taal, Batangas started. Batangas is in the southern part of Luzon. It is also very near Tagaytay, one of the tourists spots here in the Philippines. While I was typing this post, I'm also viewing a television and seeing some of the fisherman's families narrating the difficulties on their livelihood caused by this fish kill. According to one of the fisherman's wives who lived near the Taal Lake, she had seven kids. One of her children stopped going to school after the fish kill because her husband had the difficulty to catch fish and this affects their daily lives. I wasn't able to buy school supplies for one of my son, so she was force to stop. I sold what my husband catches every time he goes out fishing but what will I sell if he goes home empty, said the fisherman's wives. We sometimes experienced eating once a day instead of three, she added. Her husband also said that catching fish before is so easy but after the fish kill caused by crowded fish pins installed by businessman, she can't easily catches fish. Added to his problem is the fact that if he catches fish, nobody buys it because customers tend to think that fishes came from the fish kill. And that's why he keeps on saying that he hopes that no one of his children will inherit his job, being a fisherman. Then another head of the family was also been narrating that he is also a fisherman and at the same time raises horses to earn a living. He said we use our horses for his “horse riding business". Most of our customers are foreigners and we were given tokens if they were contented of our service. With this fish kill customers didn't come here anymore to relax and have fun so we are force to spend our savings and we we're not quite sure yet when they are coming again. The fish kill incident didn’t only affect the lives of the people nearby having a living by the lake but also the lives of different species living in the water. Sometimes we never felt the signs when to stop our greediness and being abusive to our mother nature until we realize that everything we have, were already wash out. And it was estimated to at least one hundred forty eight million pesos was damaged by the fish kill. Government agencies had already acted to this problem.

Lunar eclipse

Oh!what a beautiful midnight and it's really worth waiting that after eleven years I am about to experience another lunar eclipse. A spectacular event that we shouldn't missed. It's hard to describe the feeling of seeing the moon slowly covered of a dark cloud and slowly lost its shines at almost four in the morning. It's the art of nature that happens once in a blue moon.

blogging

It's more than a month that I didn't post anything.. It's because, I was thinking to stop or continue; posting. But since I want to express myself too often at the very least or more in words, it's nice to compose and post.... And post again and most especially... I gain a lot in blogging. Aren't that wonderful?

long lasting love?

I just don't know if you will agree or disagree with me. If it is effective to have a long love engagement to somebody? May be my own experience is not the same as yours. Flirting to early, to soon for only three weeks or being engaged for three weeks. I think not, but the only thing in my mind is to have a baby at that time. So, the baby came after nine months of being with my husband. After giving birth to my first child is not yet a guarantee that I will be with my husband for a long time since marriage is not a part of our conversation all the time. But I've been so patient for a very long time and thank GOD, I got married when my first child reach the age of five months. Taking a lot of understanding that I was to ahead to give myself to my husband without marriage. But I have no regrets at all; I am still with the father of my children. A lot of bad and good things happened but I STAY.., I stay in spite of all unpredictable circumstances and people around us. I admit that my husband was the weakest part of our relationship but thank GOD I always stand still to what ever happened. Sometimes people used to call us “Martyrs" because we cling on, not thinking the dignity of my being human. So I just want to beg your understanding that most of the time my children are always the consideration why I stayed. Secondly, I'm afraid to gamble another feeling to someone whom I don't know yet at least if I stay, I know well to play my cards in the manner of my husband. But don't think too much that I'm kind of a martyr and before you judge my husband, he hurt me so much emotionally. He remits his salary to me the time, that he was working. Lastly don't get me wrong if I keep trying to survive my marriage... it's my choice, don't get me wrong if I keep surviving my marriage...... may be I was very sure of myself that I was emotionally ready when I fall in love even at a very short time.
