geography, why oh my

I have been thinking to make this blog for quite some time. As you can see, geography is an interdisciplinary discipline that people don't really care for reasons mostly leaning to "taken for granted" and "that's easy science as NatGeo".
According to wikipedia: Geography is the scientific study of the locational and spatial variation in both physical and human phenomena on Earth. The word derives from the Greek words γη or γεια ("Earth") and γραφειν ("to write," as in "to describe").
See, any phenomena that happens over the surface of the Earth, no matter if it's your house or the entire lithosphere; no matter if it's the rain or a bombing in Iraq---all falls into the science and I say, the art of geography.

The title of this blog, heografix, a wordplay on geographics shows the context of this blog: heo is a Filipino prefix equivalent to geo (Spanish geografia, g pronounced as h, that's why) makes the distinction that this blog is by a Filipino blogger and deals primarily with Philippine geography. The "fix" in heografix is English, I'm afraid. It may serve to fix some of the miseducation and the ignorance of those people who are the "power players" in Philippine society. How lofty! Nah, don't get the impression that this blog is heavy, seriously nerdy stuff. As it aims also to entertain me, ye and them.

All I wish is to express my thoughts on the why's and the "oh my!" of Geography as expressed, as used (or misused), for the time being, in the Philippines. I am from the Philippines, a country that is, I say, lost in space (and time).

No matter how small or insignificant, as few surfers may even stumble upon this Web page, and yea, I bet no power player may even spend his/her time to read this blog, I will try to change the world.

P.S. geographics as a term is almost nonexistent. It's a nightmare if the concept of geography is replaced by this term, as what happened to demography, which is replaced by demographics (browse wikipedia articles, the term is ubiquitous).
