hotnothot 18

Hotnot: Typhoon Parma (local code: Pepeng) still wreaking havoc in the already heavily battered Philippines. As of the latest report, more than 160 died from landslides in the northern provinces of Benguet and Mountain Province. Let’s pray for our kabayans. And let’s pray for God’s mercy in this very worrying times.

Hothot: Barrack Obama winning the 2009 nobel peace prize. Yup, the charismatic president who’s barely 9 months in his office was given one of the most prestigious awards for two reasons: his ‘reaching out’ to the muslim community and his attempts to curb nuclear proliferation. The announcement was met with a bit of controversy. Some sectors were not happy and expressed doubt coz according to them, Obama is yet to produce results in his various initiatives. I say these people just reiterate the fact that anywhere, sore losers abound.

Hotnot: The Pope issuing a biting statement about the Philippine government. He says the Philippines needs upright leaders. Tantamount to saying that the current government is nothing but. A huge slap on the faces of the only Christian nation this side of the world. But a very timely wakeup call. We should make a banner for this come election time to remind everyone to choose the next President with much wisdom. http://www.abante-tonite.com/issue/oct0909/news_story5.htm

Hothot: Windows 7, to be released Oct 22, said to be better than Vista. Where Vista is sluggish, Windows 7 is said to be offering a whole lot of features designed to make us, users, forget the frustrations and high blood pressure we got from Vista. One thing I’m looking forward to is its built-in touch-screen feature. Man, that would be so cool.

Hothot: The floating houses of Amsterdam. Being one of the cities continually battling it out with the rising water level, Amsterdam came up with a house that will survive any flood. And probably earthquakes too coz they’re not anchored to the ground. If climate change remained unchecked, I think this is what houses around the world will look like. Something like the ‘waterworld’ Kevin Costner tried to depict in his mega-flop 1995 movie.
