Zero week. Earth Hour.

Friday, 26 March 2010 | 11:07 am

Zero week nearly complete. I literally did nothing during this recovery period, though I was planning on doing a 3-mile walk/run  yesterday but scrapped that. LOL. This weekend, I’m contemplating on whether I should do my scheduled 14-mile run or attend Long Beach Tri club’s brick workout –it’ll be my first ever “brick” workout if I attend and I’ll definitely be doing the “beginner” course: 20-mile bike ride, 3-mile run. Still considering attending the mixer in the evening, too (Sunday) but that means I have to leave early to make Palm Sunday mass in the evening…

In other news, Earth Hour is nearly upon us! You can get more information here, on how to participate. It’s not really that complicated to participate, either! Just pledge to turn off all your lights in your home (and electronics, if you want!) for ONE hour (8:30PM – 9:30PM your local time). That’s it! The very act itself is symbolic and yet makes a statement about your concern for our planet. :) Did I mention that some of the popular landmarks around the world are turning out for Earth Hour, too? Anyway, make your pledge here (http://www.earthhour.org/) and don’t forget to turn off ALL your lights tomorrow evening. ^_^

p.s., I participated last year (my first time) and I had fun with my green laser; hahaha. It was neat. Check it out: here.

Earth Hour 2010!

Wednesday, 03 March 2010 | 09:04 pm

Last year, I participated in my very first “Earth Hour“. Basically, on a particular day in March (this year, it’s on the 27th), on a particular hour (starts at 8:30PM your time), you switch off ALL the lights in your home (or business)… for an hour. Simple enough, yeah?

I wasn’t in complete darkness last year, though. I was surfing the web on my mobile >_< LOL. I did turn off my computer and unplugged my laptops and of course, the lights were turned off. But yeah, for an hour in the dark, it was kinda weird… No telly, no computer, and no FaceBook for an hour — I remember it felt like I was in the Dark Ages. I even switched off the lights in my fish tank. I don’t think my fishies appreciated that, though.  ;)

Anyway, message me if you’re going to do Earth Hour this year!

If you haven’t guessed, Earth Hour is a movement that began 3 years ago to raise environmental awareness and on climate change. ^_^
