It’s More Fun in CBSi: The Cebu Bloggers Society’s 4th Anniversary Celebration
I’ve been with the Cebu Bloggers Society for almost three years now and looking back, I realized everything happened so fast! Wow. 
And this Valentine’s Day, CBSi is gonna be celebrating it’s 4th anniversary. But since people will be busy dating with girlfriends/boyfriends or celebrating Forever Alone on that day, the CBSi anniversary celebration will be on February 11, 2012. I’m looking forward to meeting old friends there again! And of course, new ones, too. 
For more about the society, read on..

Cebu Bloggers Society, Inc. empowers the common people to know their rights and capabilities toward information dissemination which also changes the way they consume them.

Seed Collection, Propagation to Perpetuate Forests Urged
PRESS RELEASE
Since most native trees grow from seeds, a non-government organization called on the public to collect seeds and propagate them to contribute to the creation of native tree forests.
Rowena Bandola-Alensonorin, executive director of the Integrated Development unit of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) pointed out the urgent need to replace trees cut down for construction purposes after some parts of the country experienced the tragic effects of flashfloods and landslides.
“The primary importance of trees in the ecosystem is to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and prevent soil erosion. For many people, they see trees as beneficial for building houses, furniture, tools, and for firewood; hence, these demands have significantly reduced the number of trees in the forests,” she noted.
One way to address this is to collect and propagate seeds, which are considered “the next generation of forests.”
Alensonorin said that it is equally important for the people to know not only the names of the native trees but also how to collect the seeds and germinate them.

Reading this article written by Nury Vittachi (my favorite comedy writer) made me cackle! 
Well, maybe not because it’s really funny but because, uhh, I can relate? Harhar. Shorties, read this!
Ten Best Things About Being Short (click to read the whole article):
- We can pull our trousers up really fast.
- We can tell people: “I’m not short, I’m fun size.”
- To us, all airline seats have business class leg room.
- Clothes in the children’s dept are much cheaper.
- We can stand up in airplanes without hitting our heads.
- Babies don’t cry when they see us.
- We can tease tall people: “What’s the weather like up there?”
- When it rains, we’re last to get wet.
- We can tell jokes like this: “Knock knock. Who’s there? A short person knocking because your doorbell’s too @#$%^ high.”
- We can skip meetings by saying: “Willy Wonka just texted me to say I have to return to Oompa Loompa land.”
