Manila together with 23 other cities around the world will support Earth Hour’s statement on global warming by turning off the lights for one hour on March 29, 2008, at 8 p.m.

Last year more than 2 million Sydney residents joined Earth Hour by flicking the switch, turning appliances off stand-by and enjoying an hour of quiet darkness, according to a poll conducted by AMR Interactive.

Calculations show that the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney Central Business District during Earth Hour, when sustained for a year, would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for the same period. That certainly amounts to a lot, and it got the world to listen, which is why the Earth Hour campaign is going global.

In 2008, however, Earth Hour will be taking place in over 20 cities around the world, and the list keeps growing. It is the hope that Earth Hour would grow into a global campaign. Thanks to the success of Earth Hour in 2007 other cities, both in Australia and abroad, are now supporting Earth Hour.

I don’t have a problem switching off the lights at 8:00 PM. The kids will be on vacation by then. Maybe we will just have a candle light dinner and place candles all over the house.

Aside from switching off the lights for an hour on March 29, what else can you do? Earth Hour offers you some tips.

Earth Hour 2008 is a global movement.

Tweet Follow me in twitter @momblogger.Twelve- year old Lauren and a couple of her keypal friends started an advice column for their club members (Keypals Club) in 1997. I was looking at the now defunct site because Lauren told me to plug her new blog. I am sure that gives a clue to her new site. Before I plug it , let me show you that advice page which was started in 1997. Aww, her advice to this I have never had a boyfriend made me smile.

The age when you should start worrying about not having a boyfriend is when you’re 20. Now there’s a problem. Don’t mind those peeps that are shocked because you don’t have a boyfriend! Besides, if you have a boyfriend this young, chances are, you will have a million more boyfriends and getting married would be difficult because boys don’t like “playgirls” or a girl who has a billion boyfriends. Enjoy your youth.

That’s Lauren as a 12 year old. Almost ten years later, she worries that she will never find The One. Despite her fears, and a broken heart, she is using this humbling experience to help others in her new blog which she co-writes with her best friend, Kristel.

Presenting nogirlydrama.com,a lifestyle , sort of advice column.

We discuss dating, relationships, friendships, work, and everything female-related in its raw, non-sugarcoated form.

Our goal is to provide some sort of girls comprehensive guide to making it in the Real World. Because unlike Reality Bites, you don’t get your happy ending when your hot yet emotionally immature guitarist friend suddenly announces that he’s been madly in love with you all this time.

Just because her new blog is female-centered, doesn’t mean that members of the male demographics are completely excluded.

And while we run around like headless chickens when it comes to our romantic dilemmas, we’re actually pretty damn clever at helping fix other peoples’ messes, Lauren announces in the Launch of her Lifestyle blog. Moms can even seek the perspective of the young generation when it comes to issues about their own daughters or sons .

So if you need love, friendship and relationship advice, just visit nogirlydrama.com.

I promised Marielle that I would get her the [tag]Harry Potter Book 7[/tag] ( [tag]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[/tag] ) at 7:00 AM on July 21, 2007 which is the same opening time as UK’s midnight release. The problem was I didn’t reserve the book. See, I never reserved Book 5 and Book 6 and still managed to get a copy on Opening day at the National Bookstore Katipunan Branch. I never believed in getting a reservation because I will get a copy of the book anyway. The thing is Marielle wanted to get a copy by 7:00 AM even if I have to summon my “bitch” (assertive) powers. I never use my “bitch powers” if there are rules in place. I don’t think I can get a copy at that time without any reservation.

Dine comes to the rescue. While I was at the mediation yesterday afternoon, she offered to reserve a copy for me. Isn’t she sweet?

What a teamwork Dine and I are! And what moms do for the love of their daughters? Even if it means waking up at 6:00 A.M.

I arrived at National Bookstore Katipunan branch near Ateneo at around 6:30 AM. Dine was nowhere in sight. No problem, I will queue for her.

Oh for the love of our kids, we’d do anything for them. My daughter managed to get the book in less than 20 minutes after Opening Time. Well she didn’t get it exactly 7:00 AM but we were there at 7:00 AM.

What joy!

Of course, I can’t go home empty handed. I got an empty Harry Potter Book 7 box for posterity.

Who else got their books on Release Day, 7:00 AM on July 21, 2007 or in the same time zone?
