The World

Global Warming, Eh?

Status: Terribly bored.
Music: Out of my Heart - BBMak

If you’re a regular CNN viewer, you will easily learn that there have been several droughts these past few months. In June, the Eastern part of the United States was terrified by forest fires. In July, Western Mainland Europe (France and Spain, in particular) was bombarded by heat waves. In August, Southern England was in panic trying to figure out how they were gonna make the water level in their region rise. And now, September greeted China with a tremendously hot, hot “hello” — scorching atmosphere and absence of water.

And I thought that I would be the item opposite October. Not that I’m hot or whatever. But you know, when someone asks you, “When was the last time you had sex?” and you answer, “Err, I can’t remember,” that’s a bad thing. That’s a really bad thing. It means you already need to give your partner a little tap. And if you don’t have a partner, then sing with Nelly Furtado and Timbaland: “Promiscuous girl/boy, wherever you are, I’m all alone….” And last week, I said to myself, “My greek gods, were I Pinocchio, I would’ve become one big charcoal now.” Friction is sometimes cruel, you know. Thank God I’m spared from burning myself to death.  And it’s nice to have a friend who is always willing to help. Haha. Yuck!!!

My god, I don’t even know why I’m posting this. Boredom, stay away. Why do you love me so? I always do terrible (and sometimes horrible) stuff when I’m bored. And no, I’m not drunk right now.

Err, I did spell Pinocchio right, right?

Everybody is Capable of Change

I had a little talk with Eric Declaro. He encouraged me to pursue taking the Foreign Service Exams. But I have just found out that the deadline was May 29 for this year’s applications. Oh well, I might as well wait for another year. We also talked about some other stuff…

Eric: So, where do you want to be assigned if ever you become a Foreign Service Officer or a diplomat?

Yoshke: Germany… or France.

Eric: France, I understand. But Germany….

Yoshke: Why not? Have a problem with the Germans?

Eric: Oh, those racist, Nazi, holocaust yadda yadda…

Yoshke: Easy… easy. You sound more racist to me. That was Cretaceous Period you’re talking about. There’s such a thing as ‘change’, a’right? Did you know that after the Asian tsunami incident a couple of years ago, Germany donated more than 375 million euros to the affected nations namely Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India? That was unmatched by any other country and probably bigger than all the other donations combined. They also set up a early warning device. And besides, forget about the holocaust. They have also constructed a holocaust memorial in the heart of Berlin.

Eric: You know what, all those things, there is a word for it… I just forgot what it is… [pause] Oh! I remember!

Yoshke: What’s the word?

Eric: GUILT.

Yoshke: Get outta here!

The World Cup is finally over. The hell with the Italians. Congrats, anyway. The World Cup was over for me since Germany lost to Italy in the semi-final.

Oh, I really need a job now. I’m starting to rot. I can feel it. Waaaah!
