Lamig sa Tag init

Doon sa may dagat kung saan tirik ang araw aking naramdaman ang pinakamalamig na hangin Yung lamig na nakakakilabot dahil hindi ko naman inaasahan. Hindi ko din hinihingi at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit aking naramdaman. Doon sa may dagat kung saan tirik ang araw pinaramdam niya sa akin ang pinakamalamig na pakikitungong pwede niyang gawin. Yung panlalamig na nagsasabing di kita kelangan. Di naman ako humingi ng kahit na anong kapalit, pero bakit iyo pa ding sinuklian. Sinuklian mo ng malamig na titig, lamig na dumiretso sa puso ko at siyang nagpahinto sa pagtibok nito. Eto na yata ang pinakamalamig na tag init ng buhay ko.

The World's Most Poisonous (A Science Article written by me)

The World’s Most Poisonous Creature

Is it a snake? No. Is it a frog? No. How about a plant? Is it the most poisonous? No again. Actually, the most poisonous creature on Earth isn’t a very big creature. It’s just as big as a person’s thumb when they’re not fully-developed. Well, what is it then? It floats around in the ocean, has long, string-like tentacles, looks like an umbrella, and usually, has no brain. It’s a sea creature; the jellyfish! Yes, a jellyfish. But, in this case, it’s not just a regular jellyfish. It’s one of the most unique: the box jellyfish.

Box jellyfish are characterized mainly by their umbrella-like shape and fast movement; they can move up to six meters per minute. Imagine that! Apparently, these creatures have a lot of extraordinary characteristics; in terms of jellyfish, that is. They have two pairs of eyes complete with the lenses, corneas and retinas, having ten more pairs of eyes purely for knowing which is which between the dark and light. Also, these jellyfish have the closest thing to a brain. Cool, right? Not many jellyfish have that. Anyway, these creatures are known as the ‘suckerpunch’ of the sea. The reason behind this isn’t just the fact that their stings are rarely detected until the venom is injected, but also because they’re almost transparent. Yikes! Imagine swimming with these things. No thanks. However, some people are not so lucky.

Filipino-Australian actress, Anne Curtis-Smith, was just recently attacked by these jellyfish last Wednesday, April 2. They were at Batangas for the filming of the show when she got stung by the box jellyfish. Luckily, she only had angry, red rashes on her skin as a result of the encounter. Some others weren’t on the ‘luck list’. Around 20-40 people die in the Philippines due to these jellyfish attacks. In Australia, at least 64 people were recorded to have died; most of them children.

These attacks should serve as a lesson to us. We should always watch where we swim, and keep vinegar ready for emergencies. In the meantime, always remember to check a beach’s animal population, so that you will come prepared. Enjoy your summer!
