Pasa Load

If one welcomes it, not so Pasa Ring. Unless it is accompanied by a proposal.

This uncomplimentary remark is a way out of a face-to-face combat, in an ineffective way to avoid hurt.
Has launched a couple of conflicts, too.

Making-up

Literally. That's what Bruce Jenner admitted doing "in the closet" after snitching them from ex-wife Kris. She was then suspecting their daughters as the culprits!

Reality tv could be mediation-on-air.

Hearts in Harmony

Katie and Gay Hendrick's tip is to admit one's part in the problem and then share in the solution

They could be mediators!

Taller

Treated bus lag by watching "Pete's Dragon."  Caught this line about trees and tales growing taller.

Mediators prune the latter.

Umoja

Not another digital term but a village founded by female survivors of rape and sexual violence. Men are not allowed and the women fend for themselves by making beads. Utopia?

Mediation does not go to that extent but surely tries to go-between parties in conflict.

Age does matter

An Indian marathon champion claims to be 119 years old. But others point out that without any solid proof and looking at his physical prowess, Mr. Singh is most likely only 78.

Mediation separates claim from the gain.

Efficiency vs. Dignity

In the Netflix "The Crown," Princess Elizabeth then was taught that the former is the realm of government, while the latter is the realm of the realm.

Mediation restores both.

Extensions

For another 1-year extension of martial law in Mindanao, all an opponent asked for was a 1- minute extension to question the motion.

Is it too much to ask? Try balancing that, as mediators often do.

Bitter Late

Terry Bradshaw, one of the golden boys in "Better Late than Never," took the challenge of going nude in a camp. His colleagues called it gutsy/ disgusting/ horror!

When these banter  and ego became heated up, conflict ensues.

Rid Off

Commissioner Ridon of the PCUP seemed to have committed wrongdoing or needed to be replaced by someone else, more so.

Motives surface in mediation likewise.
