Next Best

Apollo 13 should have been called 14. The team did not quite reach the moon but came back alive despite loss of electrical power. Priorities.

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!

What if

It were the last day of one's life? Good to live with this in mind, a priest advised.

Good for mediation, too.

Donald ducking

Impeachment session at US Senate right now. And he did not cause thousands of EJKs as Duterte. Wonder if my US visa still good.

Gift

It does not always come in packages. The commentator on Christianity Works over DZFE considers his wedding ring as most precious one he has received from his wife. That is some package.

Lovers

Leave it to French expertise on the matter. In one of their films, the jilted wife says, "If you want to separate lovers, put them together."

Carpool

James Corden has made a musical treat out of this mediation on wheels. 

Corona virus

We used to have it in the Supreme Court. This one comes from Super China who has previously been infecting our sea, land and air. What's giving our people a dreaded disease to boot?

Newsies

Caught this thought-provoking Broadway musical on Disney channel.  One quote: "You got in free, at least pay attention."

We could tell the same to disputants who are out of the litigation wagon.

Change is Compromise

That is a quote from Netflix' "Two Popes."

Could also be the other way around, in mediation.

Mediating Mocha

Talk is cheap. Lies cheapest. Photos however don't lie. See VP Leni packing all those donations for Taal, not bread and water as alleged.

Hala Move

A study on online shopping revealed contrasting conclusions. While it saved the time, gas and stress of shoppers, vehicles especially trucks which carried the goods mostly ran on more harmful diesel and the packaging required felling more trees.

Royal Mediation

Queen Elizabeth has family problems, too. Grandchild and American actress wife want out of The Firm Old Hand. Consoling that except for their nonfat British pounds, they are like you and me.

Taal Story

My daughter's mother-in-law flew in from fire- ravaged Australia just in time before NAIA was shut down due to ashfall from Taal Volcano. She is due to visit her hometown La Union where the wind has blown the fallen ash.

An Act of God is not subject to mediation.

PH Blogger deported per EU sanction

Why are other nations implementing our laws?

RV all in

Travel, getting to be a favorite network, had this show of wheels usually catering to families on cross country trips. One father did the enlightened move of asking his wife and kids to vote on which one to buy.

Mammoth Discovery

Travel network featured fossils of these hugh elephants found in Siberia. Now the gulag torture camps have been replaced by those of ivory poachers.

Ghost Liver

That's how a Bisaya calls pate. True in Australia.

I ran from victims' families

Iran admitted shooting the Ukraine aircraft by mistake. When is it proper and right?

Data Yata

VP Leni told off those tough talkers, who question the numbers she mentioned that came from them!

Step Up

The film "Step Up" is about a young man on community service in school who gets to showcase his talent in dance.

Mediation hopefully leads to an improved life.

Pass- a bulong

Someone posted a photo of 10 red onions in UK costing 1£ or P 66. 78. More practical pasalubong
she says, than chocolates or Dove soap.

World War lll

The world is in jitters after the recent killing of the Iranian terrorist in Iraq by the US.

A political analyst says the next World War would happen if China and USSR join the fray.

Mediating the Senses

In "The Music of Silence," a blind young man Amos Brandi (Andrea Bocelli) becomes an accomplished operatic singer.

Modern Parable on Talents.

Sole Mali

Aside from the Australian conflagration, Soleimani's killing by the US drone aptly called The Reaper is big news internationally.

Fodder for the Democratic Party's Presidential Debate 14 January.

Closet Mediation

Like you see on cable shows like Closet Confidential, clothes are usually arranged by color. Going out daily, however has made it more practical to just put them back in order of having been worn and just choose the first in line as ootd.

Not like the HR rule on retrenchment, last in, first out.

War on Dregs

VP Leni's clear-cut analysis of the dismal failure of the war on drugs put DU30 to shame. Expectedly, his psychopaths (really sick), came to the rescue.

Someone said to look forward to another survey with positive results, as usually happens after a crisis.

Seating Mediation

Not the Zen kind, but when your bus seatmate is hefty.

Point to the demarcation line between you.
