Drunk Knight vs Man of Sleep

Printed on the back of a t-shirt, got me to wishing those drunk with power would not sleep-walk before our eyes ala zombies.

But perhaps have a Rudy awakening?

Marry-Go-Round

""Ex with Benefits" delightfully starred exes Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin and why the architect Steve Martin got between the reconciling couple. Who got the lines like "turned right-side-up; never really known how to live without you; sweetest divorced couple in the world; and we could be happy with and for each other."

Self-mediated re-lationship!

Doggone Mules

Animal Planet featured animales in our planet, specifically in Colombia inserting liquid heroin in puppies! Sometimes even in kois, while heroin pigeons deliver in prison!!!

Some of the rescued labradores got the death penalty. Another case against it.

Broken Noose

Past tense of breaking news on the fatal shooting of Mayor Espinosa in jail. Now his son Erwin is again in police custody. Good luck to him.

As in any relationship, mediation requires trust.

Mistah Opportunity

Co-PMAer Ramon Farolan's Open Letter to the PNP Chief  was a model of brotherly correction on the recent goings-about of the rolling Bato. After globetrotting with his Commander-in-Chief, he cured his hangover by going with his kumander-and-cook, among others  to Las Vegas c/o Pacman. Contrast that with Eisenhower missing his son's graduation during "the longest day."

Sometimes, people used to shortcuts, like "jumping over the heads of several senior classmen in the process known as deep selection," one feels entitled, aside from using the same strategy on the job of stopping drugs.

Balat kayo

 ng pineapple, walang apple, this joke was heard somewhere.

Our feeling while listening to conflicting claims in Congress and mediation.

Some People

Good to review this Thanksgiving, Francis Kong's similes on them:

Oars to be paddled,
Flat tires to be jacked up,
Wheels to be pushed,
Wagons to be pulled, and
Kites to be tied down while allowed to fly.

However, some are like watches, pure gold, open-faced, quietly doing their work.

Thanks to all these kinds of disputants we had counseled in pairs.

Handle Hate

That's what Du30 advises those anti-Marcos burial.

Will do.  After he handles his anti-American streak.

Bad BAC

Being in the Bids and Awards Committee is dangerous to life. One in the Energy Regulation Commission committed suicide. The other in the Bureau of Customs
was killed on the way home.

It seems the bullet is barreling through more parts of town. One could wear a bulletproof vest, but as Ninoy prophesied, "what if they shoot me in the head?"

Way out/off

Another triple treat one day from Inquirer's Comic Relief:

B.C.             - Seasonal Adjustment= The 3 inches of additional leeway offered to your

                      usual belt notch

Baby Blues- Son: Do you remember your very first date with Mom?

                      Dad: Of course.

                      Son: What was she wearing?

                      Dad: Um...clothes?

                      Son: YOU'RE RIGHT, MOM! NOT A CLUE!

                      Mom: TOLD YA!

                      Dad: Maybe I was blinded by your beauty!

Ben            - Ben : Hey, did you see the picture that the salmon took of himself?

                     Wife: No.

                     Ben  : Neither did I. He never shared it. It was "selfish" of him, wasn't it?

 Rationalizations are ways out of problematic situations.

Suits him

Now comes Prince Harry lately being openly concerned about the privacy of Hollywood star Meghan playing Suits female character Rachel. Such freedom
of choice for the 5th (so far) in line to the UK throne!

No mediating love.

A Czar

This idea for traffic is so bs (Bolshevik) as are emergency powers, unless only fire trucks and ambulances would be allowed on EDSA. Nothing works like good old common sense, and not subject to corruption either.

Infrastructure just hastens the arrival of vehicles at chokepoints. Meanwhile, at
the mall, Korean cars can be bought at P12k down payment. Singapore, if we're
not mistaken, limits vehicles on the road more effectively and permanently by not approving the registration renewal of cars after a certain number of years. Here,
we are targeting the jeepneys first, while those who can afford buy additional cars
to beat number-coding.  Evens up!

Traffic mediator more needed.

Starting 'Em V Young

That's for violent, as plastic balisongs are the latest craze this season of peace. Crazy! Already one child had suffered self-inflicted wounds on his face.

Truly the violator suffers as much as his victim.

DuDo Day

PH sympathizes with Big Brother US. With Duterte and Donald now ruling our countries, we seem to have shot ourselves in the foot in jumping from Teflon
to apoy!

Ruthlessness loves company. Danger!

Personal Secret Service

If rumors are to believed that the new First Lady used to be an escort, then Trump has a more intimate closed-in security now.

The Secret Service could train her further in providing 24-hour protection to their President.

Multiple Choice

"Friends" provides midday humor. One episode had the three girls bickering over who becomes roommate of whom. Monica was tagged high maintenance (i.e.,OC); Rachel, a pushover; and Phoebe flaky. They each tried to overcome their weakness.

That keeps them from being fiends to one another!

Sub (human) Ways

A pusher in the New York subway does much than drugs. Lately an Afro-American woman did a Pinay in, straight into the tracks. It seems they were arguing earlier.

Something about subways bring out the lower instincts in people, to fatal conclusions.

Just Different

That's how life coach Mike George sees the conflicting views of people, not right or wrong.

Mediation puts sense into these differences so the disputants can live in peace with each other after altering their egos.

In Continent

Of Australia will Du30 pass en route to his next destination, Peru. This is no circumnavigation retracing but another of his anti-American stunt. It seems
he was denied a visa once when he wanted to visit a girlfriend there, or so he
joked one time.

What a tangled web of personal grudges determining current government
policies! Beyond mediation.

Take No Prisoners

Or if they already are, kill them. This seems to be the code of conduct of the PNP at present.
The justice system, on the other side of government, gives out amnesia in addition to amnesty to the likes of Marcos, GMA and D(u)ra. Binay.

This is no way to declog the jails. Mediation is a fairer one.

Coolest Places on Earth

FYInspiration cable network featured these literally freezing places- northernmost Canada, Greenland, Iceland, you get the draft?!

Just like mediation is the coolest-off place on earth.

Jack the Sower

From the Titanic to Ecology, Jack (aka Leonardo diCaprio)  is now a Green Giant plunging to save the planet, his muse now. One move is to charge environment abusers, carbotax.

Surely our cargo de consciencia, otherwise we won't have any place to mediate
even!

Due Credit

Getting my weekly OPM fix from ABS-CBN's ASAP, was touched by one composer featured that Sunday who gave all the glory to God. He said all his work was "downloaded from heaven."

If all debtors likewise gave credit where it is due, a lot of disputes would be avoided.

Maybe This Dream

This was sung by the office assistant applying for law school in "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," a sitcom like Glee for adults. It is also about the Pinoy boyfriend, whose aunt Lea Salonga sang at his wedding. The American Dream of Miss Saigon!

Like mediators dreaming of peace.

Seeing Double

The double-barrel operator now sports a double chin, perhaps after all the lauriats during the Chinese visit, and now in Las Vegas with his family, c/o Pacman. Isn't this bribery, graft, or plain negligence of duty "while Rome burns"? Coincidentally, when protesters at the US Embassy were literally overrun, and just now, Espinosa, Sr. shot to death in jail! "Something is rotten" in the timing, don't you think?

He also has reflected glory in portraits, masks and mascots, like his Commander-in- Chief. We shudder at the repeat of the narcissistic anti-social personality assessment.
The Bato muscles are duplicated in their hearts.

Make U LOL

You'd really laugh out loud at the antics of these animals- like a guilty dog doing a walk of shame!

Sometimes beasts are better at it than humans.

Training Video

One episode of Big Bang Theory presented one on resolution of a conflict over a parking space. Carless Sheldon's slot was naturally unoccupied, so friend Howard parked his motorcycle there. Sheldon had it removed, set up office on his slot, and then asked girlfriend Amy to park there instead. Howard's girlfriend Bernadette joined the fray by towing Amy's car. Sheldon retaliated by stealing one of Howard's precious toys he doesn't use anymore... In the end, after other friends mediated, Sheldon allowed Howard to use his space till he gets a vehicle himself.

Mediation succeeds when disputants give-and-take, are reasonable and think of others too. Wheel-wheel!

Foolish Ride

Josh  Billings' quote in a cryptoquiz: "The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his own way." Sakyan mo na lang ba.

Unless you are in mediation, i.e.

3 Sighted Mice

On a rare day, three comic strips one on top of the  other had the same message of communication:

1) B.C.- Man: I'm growing a beard for winter.
              Woman: Well, you're certainly not doing it for mating purposes.

2) Baby Blues-  Mom: Have you started your homework yet?
                            Child: I don't have any tonight.
                            Mom: That's not what it says on your teacher's web site.
                            Child: You can't believe everything you read on the internet, Mom.
                            Mom: I believe this. Get your backpack.

3) Ben- Grandson: Where you going, Granpa?
              Grandpa: I have to take some tests before I get surgery next week.
              Grandson: Are you nervous?
              Grandpa: UHH...
              Grandson: My Mommy said if you study enough, there's no reason to be
              nervous.

From the mouth of babes, adults get it sometimes. Trust a second opinion.

Titus

While not the watch, it is still about time, indeed, today being All Saints' Day.  Our Daily Bread's Bible reading is from this addressee of Paul's epistle, and how to live our life. "Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, and sound speech that cannot be censured so that an opponent may be put to shame having nothing evil to say of us."

Not for any ego-tripping, but parties to annulment cases especially have to come to court with clean hands, if they want to be given custody, for example.
