Man On A Street

I'm still at the beginning of Akira Kurosawa's 1990 movie 'Dreams' (Yume). First episode. Rain falls while the sun is shining brightly. Mother tell's child: "You must stay home because in this weather, the foxes (kitsune) hold their wedding processions and will be very angry if anyone sees them..." When we were children, we were also told that in this kind of weather, the tikbalang (supernatural beings with human bodies, horse heads) hold their weddings. In some places, they say when the sun is shining and it's raining, the Devil is beating his wife. The belief in sunshowers being associated with the wedding of supernatural beings is too common to be a coincidence... But there's one belief linked to sunshowers that i'd like to be true: sunshowers are favorable for growing mushrooms... ;)

Commuter -- sitting across me in the public utility jeepney: "His backpack is The North Face while his own face is going south." Yin-Yang.

In title-making, make sure da optical distance between curved edges of letters is smaller than dat between parallel edges -- in dis case, between 'o' and 'd' vs between 'd' and 'i'. 'Foo Die,' / f u'd aɪ / in my native Waray language sounds like coño.

[For those viewing my Friendster blog:] My Facebook account is feeding off this blog. Now i'm feeding off a Facebook note . And Facebook will feed on it too ( Ouroboros -- the Celestial Serpent , feeding on its own tail -- talk about wormholes, hehe). So I won't post the whole note -- or Facebook will post the whole thing when it already has one. To read the note, just click on this link. ;) [If you're already on the Facebook notes page, just read the previous note.]

Anti-Cyber Boso Bill (House Bill No. 4315) is dangerously close to being approved as a law by the Philippine Congress. This will make it a crime to "video tape, disc record," [an 'indecent' act] or "replay" or "share, relay or exhibit the contents thereof in any form" or to simply possess any of these -- with up to six years imprisonment and Php 500,00.00 in fines. Oh, and anybody can sue the alleged culprit when this bill becomes law. Anybody can sue me if i use my cellphone to make a video of my dick. [On second thought, better make one and more than that before i lose my right to do so.] Ow gawd -- so people are allowed to make any home movie -- just don't make a home movie of you making love, or any act perceived as indecent by -- ok, who defines what's decent and what is not? The real test of decency is not clothes (or lack thereof) but motives. The office of BUHAY (LIFE)  Party List Representative Irwin Tieng, author of the bill, is...

"Each of us bears his own Hell." -- Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil) via da Fortune command on the Linux command line hehe -- and when i typed 'fortune' again, i got this: Darth Vader sleeps with a Teddywookie. Very profound.

"You're not an asset to the company." — often heard from asses to the company. Why settle for shampoo? Demand real poo!

Fortunate is one who has found work he loves, and is well paid for it. But in this less than perfect world, love is often paid with ingratitude....
