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.
