So today there are two things I came across about space:

First was there's a planet, called PH1, 5000 light years away from Earth, is orbiting on a twin sun, which have a pair of sun revolving that twin suns.

Four freaking suns for that planet.

So an Iclandic singer,Eliza Geirsdottir Newman, wrote a song bout this volcano.

Enjoy.

One of the most mentioned place in the world now, which is the source of this

That caused this

in Europe.

And I was asked as a non-related question during a radio call-in contest this morning on how to pronounce it - which I failed to pronounce it -_-

Yesterday I started two monthly donations

1) Sponsoring a kid in a country

I called up the company and asked which of the 4 countries needed the most (they have Bati (Vietnam), Indonesia, Thailand & China in the list), the person in charge said it's Indonesia.

Hence, I chose an Indonesian kid as the child I'd like to sponsor.

Thanks to my friend Jen for giving me the idea (she sponsored a child in Vietnam)

2) WWF 'Our Living Planet' Fund

What triggered me was the recent volcano eruption & earthquake activities - the earth is no longer healthy.

While I don't think I can really do much, but what I can do, is to donate some money to a group of specialists, who have the know-how on how to protect/save our planet

The 'bonus' part is, this donation will be part of your tax relief in the coming year's income tax filing :-)

Thanks to TC for the idea, she's been donating to WWF fund since 2008

What I did is very little.
But when many people do it - the 'little' will become 'a lot'.

It's quite disturbing to see the endless volcano eruption or earth quake happening lately.

One cannot help but relate to the 'end of world' theory.

But whatever it is, there's one thing we need to admit - our planet earth is not healthy.

It's evident from the global warming etc etc.

One thing I recalled - which I read from somewhere:

To prevent pollution - buy only the the things that are necessary

(i.e. if you don't buy the unnecessary thing, there will be no wastage issue, no tree/plastic used for package etc etc - just think of, how the whole process of a final product is made)
