Bullet Train, a Cruel Madman, and a Pack of Smart and Caring Dogs

 


     Two siblings of mine just got back from Japan and brought home a roomful of pasalubong, mostly snacks like chocolates, tea, T-shirts, cologne, keychains and some chili oil and chili flakes. We love chili, yes. My share of the loot is in the photo above. The keychain is a merchandise from an anime I am not familiar with. Japan is nice, they say, not really polluted, people seem really disciplined, and it’s cold and seems safe. And the bullet train is really fast, but not as fast as a real bullet. Lol. And Mount Fuji is still majestic.

     Meanwhile, in other countries, America is still being ruled by a madman who seems to be intentionally ruining the world economy, Iran is still bent on retaliating really hard, Israel is still war freak while in China, seven dogs escaped from a truck that abducted them and that was about to bring them to a dog meat market. A smart corgi led the group, which included an injured German Shepherd. One video I saw clearly showed the other dogs protecting and caring for the German Shepherd. They journeyed seventeen kilometers together on paws to safely return home. If you bring me to a place five kilometers away from our house, I probably won't be able to go home. Dogs are wonderful, yes. Humans prefer to bomb each other. 

    And in the Philippines, an impeachment against a very corrupt female high-ranking government official is finally commencing. Yay.

    The world is a mess, yes, except maybe Japan.

     That’s why I’m keeping this explorer map just in case I decide to go to Japan and stay there and be a samurai for hire.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
