the Blunt Umbrella

I think this is just what I need in this time of day.

You know that the Earth is getting hotter, and the nice and warm sunshine can be merciless to your skin by inflicting *God forbid* skin cancer. *shivers*

That's why I always carry my trusted umbrella in my bag, and use it EVERYWHERE. I may look uncool or oh-so-granny-like, but one thing I know, it will be even more un-cool if I have skin cancer! :P

So..

This is just what I need. :)
A Blunt Umbrella!





You know how the sides of your umbrella can actually "poke" someone in the face? :D
Ah, with this cool invention, worry not people, poke no more! And we can keep on using our umbrellas everywhere without worry of hurting other people. :D

Nice! :)

AQUALTA; sign of an acceptance?

In the case of long term mental illnesses (such like bipolar disorder); there are 5 distinct stages that most people commonly went through. It is Denial; Anger/ Resentment; Bargaining; Depression & Acceptance.

Ah well, now I strongly suspect that in regards to our own long term global "illness", the global warming; we've finally come to the stage of Acceptance.

And these images by Studio Lindfors; is a solid proof of it.

When I first saw these kind of images (also in BLDGBLOG) done by Pedro Armestre and Mario Gómez; I was freaking out.






I think it freaks everybody out.

Now looking back at these images by Studio Lindfors, well, maybe it's time for to come to terms with this inevitable situation; and hell, try to embrace it, and find the good side & beauty of it ...?

After all, every debt has to be paid, and this debt the industrialists has on the world's environment also has to be paid. With the lives of billions of people and every forms of life on the face of Earth.

Plastiquarium by David Edgar

A beautiful art indeed.

And made of recycled materials too! But it kind of freaked me out a bit, because I see it as a constant reminder that our world is already in it's critical condition.. And we can't continue to live in indulgence as we always do..

The Maldivian's Cry for Help and Awareness

So when do you think is the right time to actually do something? Or do you need to wait to see until Maldives are actually under sea level? And 1/4 citizens of the world are already homeless because of the flood?

Just think about it..
