Recently, my ancestral home, China, was rocked by a 7.8 earthquake in the Sichuan province. Once, I remembered Sichuan for its delicious spicy foods. Now, I shall remember it as a place where families were faced with tragedies beyond their own comprehension.

This particular story strikes me right through the core. Despite best efforts, it is to be expected that there will be casualties among them. Imagine their desperation and distress underground.

Please pray for them.

Basically, East Timor is like an Indonesian version of the Philippines. Aside from the fact that it used to be a part of Indonesia and that the people speak Spanish, there are a lot of similarities between that country and the Philippines. What happened now is that their version of the NPA or Abu Sayyaf was able to successfully attack the president head on, although at the expense of their leader.

Well, Pres. Ramos-Horta is now in Australia receiving treatment. Let’s see if he pulls through.

Rudy Guiliani quits presidential race

Breathe a sigh of relief, people.

His campaign was hogwash, his demeanor was mind-boggling, and the way he handled his platform for his bid seemed quite a novelty, which can only be beated by Ron Paul’s.

And with that, it’s John McCain and Mitt Romney mudslinging each other for the Republican candidacy.

On the Democrat side, it’s Clinton and Obama; gender versus race.

Such a spectacle US Presidential Elections always are.

You mean to say that the great man’s remains stayed in a stuffy old urn for 60 years? I guess it is high time that his spirit has finally been set free into the world. May this crazy world of ours be blessed by the saintly purity of the Mahatma’s heart and soul.
