Thanos, The Infinity Gems And The Benefits Of Riding A Bike

     So we acquired a bike again, a Trinx Folding Bike. We haven’t got one for years, we became lazy when it comes to riding one but we thought that it would always be nice to have one in the house so we bought one again. At first, I was against a folding bike, for fear that it would fall apart while you’re riding it, but no, it’s quite sturdy. And we wanted one we can take with us to parks or when we go out of town.      So I rode it around our neighborhood and the adjoining ones the first time, to try to have the feel of the bike, and instantly realized that Thanos was right. Lol. Like any part of the universe, our place was way too populated. There are kids everywhere, and cars, and motorcycles and tricycles and bikes, and dogs and cats, and humps, which all lessen the fun in biking and increase the risk. So you can’t blame me if while biking, I was thinking of snapping my fingers. But then, unfortunately, the Infinity Gems weren’t with me.      But of course, crowde

The Filipino Voters And The Sleazy Politicians We Love To Elect

           Actor/politican Bong Revilla’s campaign parade reached our street yesterday.   February 12 is the start of campaign period for senators so   he’s already violating some election rules here. I was at the window watching when Mr. Revilla smiled and waved at me and I was almost tempted to show him the middle finger. Yes, I believe the guy is guilty of plunder and should be locked up in jail. Watch this video and you’d probably agree with me.   If he were a citizen of another country with a better justice system, he’d definitely be languishing in jail now and wouldn’t dream of running for a government post again. If he were Japanese, he'd probably committed hara-kiri . But lucky him, we're here in the Philippines where plunderers, killers, rapists,   the imbeciles and the idiots and thieves are idolized and get voted again and again and again.       The Filipino voters are definitely one of the most unthinking and inept voters in the world.
