Something to worry about…

And be angry about!

All Summer’s Disease wrote about this OUTRAGE she heard over the TV news. It concerns the Philippine National Shooting Team hunting near-extinct Philippine ducks.

Talk about national pride! Talk about arrogance! Talk about stupidity! How can this team represent the country that they help shoot down?

Sad. Stupid and sad.

Harry Potter saves the environment?

I’ve been reading Agnes’s entry in The Other Side of the Fish, and felt guilty for not doing my share in saving the environment. I didn’t know about the controversy and the Canadian edition as an alternative. Not that I would have bought it online from them — because shipping to a Third World country like the Philippines would burn a hole in my pocket, and because I would be biting my nails worrying if my copy would arrive the same time as the scheduled release.

I have my sister to blame for my getting hooked to the Harry Potter saga. The book she bought for her goddaughter was the same one I read while waiting at the Mactan International Airport for our sister Bevitt to arrive from Israel.
