I was surprised to learn that it is actually a title of a Broadway song written by written by Jule Styne and Leo Robin originally sung by Carol Channing in the 1949 production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. However, it became more popular in 1953 when Marilyn Monroe performed it in the film version of the same play.In 2001, Nicole Kidman in the role of Satine, performed the same song in Moulin Rouge. Being surprised by all of these, I guess by now you know that I’m no Broadway fan.

I guess this song is worth more than loose diamonds as it was listed as the 12th most important movie song of all time by the American Film Institute.

Support Earth Hour 2009 and help promote awareness that we need to take action to save planet Earth. From the Earth Hour official website we read:

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for one hour on Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm. If your site runs on a self-hosted WordPress, you might want to check out this plugin as well.

Save the planet, save our race.

CNN is searching the globe for people whose selflessness, dedication and achievement are as inspiring as the CNN heroes they honored in 2008. This week’s CNN featured hero is a 28 year old Filipino – Efren Peñaflorida Jr.

Ef started a teen group that brings education to kids living in the slums. Their flagship project called Kariton Klasrum, Klinik at Kantin (K4); recreates a school setting in unconventional locations such as the cemetery, city trash dump, slum corners and alleys using a pushcart loaded with books and other educational items. Children ranging from ages 2 to 14 flocks every Saturday to learn reading, writing, arithmetic and English from Ef and his trained teen volunteers.

He hopes to expand the pushcart project to other areas, giving more children the chance to learn and stay out of gangs.

“I always tell my volunteers that you are the change that you dream and I am the change that I dream. And collectively we are the change that this world needs to be.”

I just learned of this spot a few days back and honestly; I’m having a difficult time grasping a scenario where people can enjoy kiteboarding, surfing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, birdwatching, sunbathing, swimming, cultural shows, and museums all in one natural setting. It seems like a beach country club without the exclusivity, more of a community than a vacation place. How I wish we have a similar one here in the Philippines.
