BATTLE OF WATERLOO - 18 JUNE 2006

MI ULTIMO PAALAM

Perla del mar de trapiko, nuestro perdido tambutso
A darte voy a brownout, para ka na ring na-knock out
A fuera mas mainit, taong bayan nagngingitngit
Tambien por ti lad diera, para tayong nasa giyera.

El campos de basura, singhutando con delirio
Otros te dan sus microbio, sin duda, con ubo
Emergency power nada importa, Ramos de Venecia or Angara
Napocor o Meralco cerrado, generator o cruel martirio
Lo mismo es so expensive, por la pitaka de Pandoy.

Yo muero cuando veo, patay na raw ang kabayo
Y al fin anuncia el dia, matrapik daw sa Buendia
Si grana necesitas, para close down las fabricas
Verte la sangre mia, kawawa ang maralita
Y dorela un reflejo, de apat na kandila

Mis suenos cuando apenas, mga trapo nakakabanas
Mis suenos cuando joven, pen pen de sarapen
Fueron el verte un dia, naka-air con ang mga buwaya
Secos los negros ojos, sa Epifanio de los Santos
Sin ceno, sin arugas, pulitikong mandurugas

Ensueno de mi vida, hithit-buga, hithit-buga
Salud! te grita el alma, alingasaw ng industria
Salud! ah, que es hermosa, di na sila tumatawa
Morir por darte vida, puro grasa na ang mata
En tu pollutada tierra, sumalangit nawa sila.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG...

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with her!

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares?

But do share this with someone.

THE BEST MOMENTS IN LIFE

1. Falling in love.

2. Laughing till your stomach hurts.

3. Enjoying a ride down the country side.

4. Listening to your favorite song on the radio.

5. Going to sleep listening to the rain pouring outside.

6. Getting out of the shower and wrapping yourself with a warm, fuzzy towel.

7. Passing your final exams with good grades.

8. Being a part of an interesting conversation.

9. Finding some money in some old pants.

10. Sharing a wonderful dinner with all your friends.

11. Laughing without a reason.

12. "Accidentally" hearing someone say something good about you.

13. Watching the sunset.

14. Listening to a song that reminds you of an important person in your life.

15. Receiving or giving your first kiss.

16. Feeling this buzz in your body when seeing this "special" someone.

17. Having a great time with your friends.

18. Seeing the one you love happy.

19. Wearing the shirt of a person you love and smelling his/her perfume.

20. Visiting an old friend of yours and remembering great memories.

21. Hearing someone telling you "I LOVE YOU"

PROFILE OF GIACOMO LEOPARDI

Giacomo Leopardi

Born on Friday, June 29, 1798 at 4:00 AM in Recanati, Italy

Your personality is reserved, cautious and given to moments of incredible loneliness. Your emotions do not permit you to derive any satisfaction without paying some penalty. You are ambitious to achieve the best possible romantic relationships, but you always seem to settle for less than that. You are serious and more concerned with achieving goals and objectives than in having domestic bliss. You have some difficulty in projecting warmth and tenderness, thus you attract those who will accept a contractual relationship with you so that it seems like a business arrangement.

You are intensely emotional and want so much to express your feelings with someone very special. Your judgment is biased by material considerations and security, so that a purely emotional contact is less likely. Your desire for a home and domestic security is shared with your continuing interest in a professional life of your own. You want to be recognized as a very capable, organized individual who doesn’t have to depend on anyone, as a person who can succeed on your own merits if you want to.

Parental conditioning may have been the cause of your insecurity, and your father, in particular, may have caused you some bitterness in your youth. Because of this, it might be better for you to accomplish your professional objectives before you turn your attention to marriage. After you’ve proven yourself to eliminate any self-doubts as to your competence, you may then need to relate in a personal, warm and tender relationship that has all the earmarks of success.

Warm climates are better suited to your physical needs, and above all, try to look at life with optimism.

CONFERENCE ON LEOPARDI - BRUSSELS, 14 JUNE 2006

Giacomo Leopardi is considered one of Italy’s illustrious poets of his time. He was born in Recanati on June 29, 1798 and died in Naples on June 14, 1837. In commemoration of his death anniversary, the Marchigiani Association of Belgium organized a conference on his literary life and a reading of his selected poems in Brussels on June 14, 2006.

FELIZ CUMPLEANO MARIA!

Maria
Born on Thursday, 3 June 1976 at 10:15 AM in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Ascendant in Cancer. The caring instinct is particularly strong when Cancer is rising at the moment of birth. The homemaking impulse can be very powerful in Cancer-Ascendant people, and in a partnership they are supportive and ambitious for their lover. Those without a family will channel their homemaking instincts into worthy cause—often charitable or ideological. They often worry unnecessarily about their health and this can become a way of life.

Midheaven in Aries. When in Midheaven is Aries, Cancer or Leo will be in the Ascendant in northern latitudes. In southern latitudes, Gemini or Cancer will be the rising sun. Anyone with Aries as his or her Midheaven will aspire to be independent and assertive. When Gemini is rising, the individual is likely to express the Geminian ability for wheeling and dealing to achieve his or her own ends. If a subject has Cancer rising, the sensitivity of the rising sign means that his or her concern for other people will hinder success. Nevertheless, the attraction to Arien interests will be very powerful, and he or she will have the desire to be a big achiever.

Sun in Gemini. Versatile and communicative, Geminians can also be superficial and inconsistent. They tend to be witty and lively, and remain youthful in old age. Geminians rarely do one thing at a time—they will read two books at once, write letters while watching television, or hold down two jobs. Basic Personality. Geminians have a talent for communication, and journalism is an ideal occupation for them. They tend to have very quick intellects fired by curiosity and rational minds. Their strong sense of logic enables them to grasp the elements of a situation or subject quickly. Relationships. A dull partner, however attractive, will not be tolerated long by a Geminian. Shared interests are important but not necessarily shared views, because discussion and argument are the spice of life to a Gemini. Geminians make lively parents, but can be too fault-finding, forgetting that their child may not be so quick-minded as themselves. The Gemini child is intelligent, but is easily bored and should be encouraged to finish all tasks that are started. Career. Work in all branches of the media is ideal for communicative and versatile Geminians. They are often natural salespeople, and prove to be shrewd in business. However, they dislike solitary work and may be unhappy if they are promoted to lonely positions of power. Leisure. Geminians do not know what leisure is, they fill every moment with activity and are always seeking out ways to amuse themselves. They should burn of their nervous energy with sports such as squash, tennis, or jogging.

Moon in Leo. This position is often found in the birth charts of high achievers, especially if the Moon is near the Midheaven. People with their Moon in Leo can appear overbearing and dogmatic: their immediate instinct in almost any situation is to take over. They are self-centered, and this can lead to arrogance and stubbornness. On the other hand, they usually have the best of motives, and can be a source of inspiration to others. They will find every possible outlet for their potential (which will be indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign) and will achieve their personal aspirations. They rarely do this, however, without going a little too far in the eyes of partners, friends, or colleagues. There is an unconscious need for admiration and attention from others, and if shyness or inhibition is indicated elsewhere in the horoscope, the conflict will result in a tendency to show off and appear over-confident. They cope well in emergencies, for the qualities of leadership inherent in Leo will always be present. This is a placing that needs a steadying influence from other planets in the birth chart. Children with the Moon in this sign can be excessively exuberant, and they should be encouraged to control this trait before it develops into bombasts.

Mercury in Taurus. Inflexibility will be a characteristic of those with Mercury in Taurus, particularly an inability to change the mind. Common sense will be present, as will the ability to plan constructively. The mind may be slightly slow, but steady and careful. Mercury rules Gemini, and its effect is strong and in this case beneficial, steadying the subject and enabling him or her to act with deliberation. These people assimilate facts easily, and have practical common sense along with the natural Geminian liveliness and versatility.

Venus in Gemini. These flirtatious people need partners who are intellectually as well as sexually stimulating. They are reluctant to settle down but are capable of sustained devotion. They have a flair for money-making. Love affairs can be inhibited by the tendency to over-analyze emotions. Quick wits help financial success.

Mars in Leo. The fiery enthusiasm, energy, and assertiveness of Mars is well suited to Leo, and people with this placing of the planet will have an immense love of life, and will also be eager for others to enjoy themselves. Powers of leadership will be strong, but individuals must guard against being overly assertive and pushy, especially when dealing with those less assured than themselves. There will be a keen sense of drama, which again needs to be carefully controlled if it is not to expand and become showiness, exaggeration, and bombast. These people do not suffer pompousness or self-indulgence gladly, and small-mindedness and pettiness will be deeply despised, sometimes to the point of rudeness. The quick temper of Mars is flaring and passionate, but at least Leonine magnanimity ensures that any clash is quickly forgiven and forgotten. The sex life will be enthusiastic, colorful, and rewarding, and there may well be a creative passion for art. If Mars is negatively aspected by Saturn energy may be unevenly spent, but provided that more sober elements of the horoscope help the subject to use the energy in a controlled way, this placing is wonderfully invigorating physically, and these people are likely to enjoy robust health. There may be minor trouble with the spine, especially if days are spent at an office desk, and yoga or the Alexander technique might help. Leo rules the heart, so aerobic exercise such as swimming or dancing is recommended.

Jupiter in Taurus. This placing of Jupiter can bring material success by encouraging an individual’s desire to be successful: making money will always be a prime motive. People with Jupiter in Taurus usually invest cleverly and well. They have an excellent sense of timing, and are able to predict the movements of the market. These subjects are generous, and derive great pleasure from entertaining others. This marries rather too well with one of the main attributes of this combination of planet and sign the enjoyment of good food. These people are true gourmets and love eating and drinking, and there is a distinct possibility that under any anxiety or stress, particularly emotional stress, comfort eating becomes a problem. If Jupiter is afflicted by the Sun, Moon or Neptune, there really will be trouble, for they are likely to become over-indulgent and greedy. They should bear in mind that the basic principle of Jupiter is expansion, and in this case it can literally mean putting on weight. These problems apart, people with Jupiter in Taurus make marvelous hosts, for Jupiter is at its most genial in this sign, and contributes sincerely and a excellent sense of humor. Reliable in a crisis, they have great common sense that serves them well in difficulties, and enables them to advise others equally well.

Saturn in Cancer. A considerable degree of financial shrewdness is possessed by those with Saturn in Cancer, and these subjects will have not only the ability to make money but also the intuition to invest it advantageously. They also possess a strong sense of purpose, and great tenacity when following a decided course. The need for real emotional stability is very strong, but the ease or difficulty with which this is achieved will often depend on how the individual was treated as a child. If the father was particularly strict, for instance, or there was some kind of emotional deprivation, the person may have suffered and, as a result, may find it difficult to take even small problems in his or her stride. Saturn in Cancer often indicates someone who has a great desire for a stable and secure family life but has problems achieving it. These people have a tendency towards anxiety, but find it difficult to share their problems with others. If this is not to affect their relationships, and make them inhibited with their partners, they must try their best to free their emotions. If Mars or Jupiter is placed in a fire sign, or if either is well aspected, this can do much to alleviate the problem.

Uranus in Scorpio. The influence of Uranus is at its most intricate when working from Scorpio. The planet is exalted in this sign, so its strength will be increased dramatically. When its dynamic force is added to the emotional intensity of Scorpio, it will endow these individuals with extraordinary power. They will be brave and daring but tend to disguise this fact. They do not like to show emotion or lose control, and will always remain calm on the surface even if inwardly they are boiling with anger or disgust. It is very important for these subjects to use their emotions constructively—and for them to release them gradually so that positive achievements and inner satisfaction might be gained. Uranus was in Scorpio from 1975 to 1981, and those born during this period are still quite young. The most dramatic of this generation will have either a Sun or a Moon in Scorpio, or a Scorpio-Ascendant. They will feel a powerful need to influence the course of world events and many of them do so, sometimes by the most positive and telling arguments and actions, sometimes by behavior that is quite negative and destructive. Parents who have children with Uranus in Scorpio in their chart should try to help them recognize and avoid their tendency to feel depressed about problems such as poverty and environmental pollution, because this despair can turn to negative thinking and self destructive behavior.

Neptune in Sagittarius. The powerful relationship between Neptune and Jupiter (Neptune now rules Pisces, and Pisces was originally ruled by Jupiter) is heightened by Neptune’s journey through the Jupiterian sign of Sagittarius. Neptune encourages a strong sense of social justice, and we can expect much that is idealistic, hopeful, and positive from this generation. Although these young people will have to be tough to cope with the demands of his life in the early 21^st century, they have a sympathetic side to their personality, and a sense of optimism that should help them solve some of the problems of the future. They will have a strong identification with nature and with animals, and may reject potentially cruel farming methods. If Sagittarius is prominent in a subject’s birth chart, it may indicate one of the leaders of this generation.

Pluto in Libra. Sexual permissiveness and the relaxation of traditional moral values was a main theme during the period Pluto spent in Libra. The contraceptive pill brought freedom from the fear of pregnancy for many women, and consequently this was an era when the unfettered pursuit of erotic pleasure seemed a desirable and harmless end in itself. As far as the personal influence goes, Pluto spices up the somewhat placid temperament of Libra, but also increases the Libran tendency to cause problems just for the fun of solving them. This is particularly the case in emotional partnerships, where the pleasure of reconciliation is considered well worth a few hours of unproductive argument. This argumentative trait emerges when Libra is prominent or if Pluto is personalized, the possessiveness and jealous can be problematic in intimate relationships.

PLANETS THROUGH HOUSES

First House. Saturn. Saturn, from this house, can bring inhibition and shyness, and the closer Saturn is to the Ascendant, the stronger the effect will be. However, common sense and self-confidence will develop as the individual matures. Carefully study the effects of the sign in which Saturn is placed its characteristics will be influential. This placing tends to lower physical vitality, which may be exacerbated by a touch of hypochondria.

Second House. Mars. The acquisition of wealth and possessions is emphasized here. The sign that Mars occupies indicates how money will be acquired: through careful investment, skilful dealings, or a long hard slog. These people are passionate and can be possessive. If Mars occupies Taurus, Cancer, or Scorpio, the subject may possess a fiery temper and will not be quick to forget an insult. Moon. This position indicates a need for security, and the positive attitudes of the Moon (which depend on the sign of the planet it occupies) will flourish in a stable environment. Emotional happiness may be dependent on a comfortable financial situation. If money is short, these individuals are thrown into a state of anxiety, imagining poverty and hardships. A practical influence elsewhere in the horoscope will counter this tendency to worry about money.

Fourth House. Pluto. This is not an easy placing for Pluto, and may indicate a difficult childhood. The parents may have been distant and unloving, or repressive disciplinarians. In an attempt to compensate for their unhappy childhood, these people will be eager to create a close and secure domestic scene, but must beware of becoming too possessive of their loved ones.

Fifth House. Uranus. This placing often indicates a string of whirlwind affairs with unsuitable partners. The subjects tend to display a somewhat reckless attitude towards affairs of the heart, plunging into new relationships without pausing to consider the consequences. Creative potential is greatly encouraged by this placing, and these people often make talented artists, actors, and musicians.

Sixth House. Neptune. These people are often serious hypochondriacs, with an over-imaginative approach to their numerous ailments. It is true, however, that they are often allergic to certain foods. Alternative therapies may be the best solution. These individuals find it difficult to take a disciplined attitude to their work. They dislike strict routine and are often rather unreliable and erratic workers.

Eleventh House. Jupiter. These individuals are sociable and warm-hearted. They care deeply for their friends, and will want to do their bit to help humanity at large. The subjects generate a great deal of energy and enthusiasm, and make excellent campaigners and fund-raisers. They work particularly well as part of a team, and do not enjoy solitary endeavor. Mercury. Social intercourse will be of the greatest importance—these people simply must communicate, and will possess a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Every spare moment is likely to be occupied by getting out and about. The subjects may find fulfillment in charity work, where their communicative skills will be useful. The Sun and Mercury live closely together, and Mercury in the eleventh house and the Sun in the twelfth may sometimes suggest a spell of peace and quiet, and the subject must remember to take this hint.

Twelfth House. Sun. Peace and quiet one’s own space, and the time to be alone are all prime concerns for someone with the Sun in the twelfth house. If the Sun sign shares these characteristics, the individual may suffer from a lack of self-confidence. They will be at their happiest working behind the scenes, in a quiet pursuit of excellence but without demanding great acclaim. Venus. When in love, these hopeless romantics tend to be extremely secretive. They will strive to conceal their deepest emotions from their friends, and may even find it difficult to articulate their feelings to their potential lovers. These individuals can suffer from a strong sense of isolation, which may result in comfort eating and drinking. Alternatively, solace may be sought in religion.

Ascendant in Scorpio. Scorpio Sun-sign characteristics are more powerfully expressed when it is the rising sign. The tendency for these people to be secretive can become obsessive. Sometimes preoccupied with their faults, those who have Scorpio rising should give themselves credit for their virtues. Emotional security is important to them.

Midheaven in Leo. When Leo is on the Midheaven in the northern hemisphere, Libra, Scorpio or Sagittarius will be in the Ascendant. In the southern hemisphere, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn will be rising. Leo Midheaven bestows a need to achieve and display the signs of success. When Scorpio rises, the determination and powerful energy of that sign, combined with Leo aspiration, offers these individuals everything that is necessary to make them extremely high achievers. However, care is needed if this powerful potential is to be fulfilled.

Sun in Libra. Diplomatic, romantic, and idealistic, Librans need balance for a harmonious life. In order to attain this state of equilibrium, they will sometimes give way in situations where they should stand firm, or sit on the fence until someone else has resolved the problem, or it has simply resolved itself. Basic Personality. Procrastination comes naturally to Librans, because they have the ability to see every point of view, and dislike taking sides in an argument. Although they have considerable physical energy, they are sometimes accused of laziness. This is often because they are choosing to relax, and making time to listen to the problems of their friends and family. Relationships. Librans are great romantics, and they are vulnerable when in a partnership. The usual Libran indecision is swept aside, and when marrying in haste they may repent at leisure. Libran parents are very loving and caring, but sometimes spoil their children for the sake of peace and quiet. Libran children are easy to please, and tend to rely on a parent to make decisions. Career. Librans enjoy the high life, and need to earn good money. They thrive in positions that need diplomacy and tact, fashion, and the beauty and cosmetic industries suit them well. Leisure. Librans do not enjoy physical exertion, but they need to exercise to avoid becoming overweight. They should also control their love of rich food.

Rishwan has strong feelings that he constantly expresses. He loves life and enjoys close relationships with people. He doesn’t wait for others to make gestures of friendship, but eagerly seek to make them feel at ease in his company. He wants so much to be liked and loved that he dramatizes his feelings towards others so they will respond to him in a similar fashion. In fact, he functions best when he knows others care for him. He can easily detach himself from people who are indifferent or uncaring. Only individuals with depth and substance gain his attention. He is conservative toward people until they demonstrate their worth to him. Once this is done, he will project his feelings with determination, in anticipation of establishing a permanent relationship. He is proud, sometimes even vain, in seeking the spotlight. Love is very important to him. It rounds out his life with meaning and satisfaction. He tends to exercise a dominant force over those he cares for, and he is shattered when they reject him in defiance. He appreciates fine things. Beautiful people, a comfortable home, good food and warm friends delight his tastes. Even good books, art and the theater give him much enjoyment. However, he may indulge beyond his resources and severely strain his finances. He lives for today and try not to look too carefully at tomorrow. He tries to avoid the unpleasant—it is so inconsistent with the brighter side of life he expects. He should avoid being too self-centered and acting like “star.” Many people are turned off by it.

I am surprized to know that you are accurate in writing about my love for art, fine things and theatre (Posted by Krishwan on Thursday, May 04, 2006 9:54 AM CEST)

DEAR DAUGHTER DEAREST

Dear Daughter Dearest,

Medyo mabagal akong magsulat ngayon dahil alam ko na mabagal kang magbasa. Dito na kami sa probinsya para tirahan ang bagong bili na bahay pero hindi ko maibibigay sa iyo ang address dahil dinala ng dating nakatira ang number para daw hindi na sila magpapalit ng address.

Maganda ang lugar na ito at malayo sa Manila. Dalawang beses lang umulan sa linggong ito, tatlong araw noong una at apat na araw naman nung pangalawa. Nakakainis lang ang mga paninda dito katulad ng nabili kong shampoo dahil ayaw bumula. Nakasulat kasi sa labas ay FOR DRY HAIR kaya hindi ko binabasa ang buhok ko pag ginagamit ko. Mamaya ay ibabalik ko sa tindahan at magrereklamo ako.

Noong isang araw naman ay hindi ako makapasok sa bahay dahil ayaw bumukas ang padlock. Nakasulat kasi ay YALE, aba eh namalat na ako sa kakasigaw ay hindi pa din bumubukas.

Mayroon nga pala akong nabili dito na magandang jacket at tiyak na magugustuhan mo. Ipinadala ko na sa iyo sa DHL, medyo mahal daw dahil mabigat ang mga butones kaya ang ginawa ko ay tinanggal ko na lang ang mga butones at inilagay ko sa mga bulsa. Ikabit mo na lang pagdating diyan.

Nagpadala na din ako ng tseke para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo, hindi ko na pinirmahan dahil gusto kong maging anonymous donor.

Ang kapatid mo nga palang si Jude ay may trabaho na dito, mayroon siyang 500 na tao na under sa kanya. Nag-gugupit siya ngayon ng damo sa Memorial Park, okey naman ang kita, above minimum ang sahod.

Wala na akong masyadong balita. Sumulat ka na lang ng madalas.

Nagmamahal for life,
Mommy Dearest

P.S. Maglalagay sana ako ng pera kaya lang ay naisara ko na ang envelope.

HANDREADING - MARIA DE TENERIFE

Your highly strong and independent personality is shown clearly from the strength of the principal lines on your hands as well as by the prominent mounts, particularly that of Jupiter for ambition, authority and individuality; Venus for passion and sensuality; and Moon for imagination, creativity and mobility.

Your headline shows a writer’s fork. However, I can see that you have a strong sense or inclination toward business, but mainly for personal satisfaction. There seems to have been a long difficult and trying period between your 14^th and 18^th birthday as indicated on your lifeline, either by your being a rather spoiled and capricious child or a rebellious student in school who wanted to learn more than what your teachers knew. In fact, you weren’t only intelligent but also smart because you finished your studies among the top in the class. A part of this period was also corroborated by your heartline which could show your first sentimental fiasco. On the other hand, things have picked up and improved gradually before you reached 20 and still continuing to be positive up to the present.

Concerning your early career, you must have had a difficult time between 21 and 22 as soon as you finished your studies and started to work. Incidentally, you got your first break before your 23^rd birthday that was followed shortly by a radical change or a promotion. However, more changes occurred between 26 and 27, another significant one at 28. I can see that you succeeded to overcome an obstacle either in obtaining a higher promotion or putting up your own business venture. You’ll likely have a very hectic time between your 30 and 40. There’s an excellent perspective for professional improvements foreseen between your mid-40s and early 50’s when your natural sense for business would bloom and mature.

Sentimental-wise, you appear to be a difficult person to contend with, because you’re too demanding to all of your expectations from the person you fall madly in love with. As I’ve said before, you’re a very fiery and passionate person to sensuality that you could easily fall madly in love at first sight. The first two serious love affairs you have had were one between 16 and 17 and the other between 20 and 21 which could be the comeback of what you have now or a completely new one. Nonetheless, there are other faint lines that are showing when you’ll reach 40 and 50 or beyond as the print aren’t too clear enough to be deciphered and analyzed. Moreover, I could see 3 children lines most likely your own as you like to have them or those of your brother or sister with whom you’ve grown affectionate to because you’d like to put off motherhood until later if possible in order not to sacrifice your independence and career.

I can see that you’ve already traveled widely before, but you’ll be doing more in the future particularly to where the sun is for pleasure and rest and to the emerging economic powers in Asia, Australia, South America and Oceania for business. I believe there’s no better place for you to be than your own city where you’ll keep going back and forth from all of your travels abroad.

GOODBYE DEAN EUGENIO!

Suddenly tears rolled down from my eyes as I learned the news about the passing away of Dean Eugenio the other day from the email of one of his granddaughters. For an instant, I couldn’t help but sobbed wretchedly as an orphaned child that I felt so shattered and forlorn for having lost a very dear and beloved person whom I highly esteemed and respected as my own father.

How I remember him very well that summer of 1963 when I decided to enroll in the university after 3 years of reflection since I finished high school when I took up different vocational courses in order to learn a trade so that I could get a decent-paying job in order to support myself to finance my college studies. Somehow, I felt a certain pang of fear and anxiety as I approached his table hesitantly. In a split of a second, I had to stop midway in order to decide whether I should make a go at it or just walk away. In the stillness of such a seemingly critical soul-searching moment, I heard his soothing voice calling for me to advance as he said the magic phrase “what can I do for you young man” with such a smile which could practically make that of Mona Lisa as an obvious sign of derision and provocation. He immediately broke the ice and made me feel at ease as he presented me the subjects for the semester and then enrolled me officially.

Through him, I saw the very image of what I had wished my father would have been as a role model had he ever lived to see me grow up. Even though he exercised the function of a dean, he never showed an air of self-importance and a somewhat dictatorial authority over others. As a matter of fact, he had a very direct and close personal contact with his students and teaching staff which I did admire as his extraordinary human quality. His office doors were always wide open and anybody could drop by and say hello or even consult him for a tête-à- tête without a prior official appointment.

Finally, I’m very grateful for him for having taught and shown me the importance and true essence of such virtue as honesty, humility, loyalty, patience and perseverance, but most especially the respect for others. If ever I succeeded to carry the good name and reputation our school as the only French Government scholar during his time, it is exclusively thanks to him for which I feel very proud to have made it in his honor.

Goodbye Dean Eugenio. You will always be forever in my heart and prayer.

JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE DAVID!

You have an intense emotional nature and your feelings are frequently expressed in extreme ways. On the one hand you may become infatuated by the attention you attract from others, and at other times you may enjoy teasing those you entice and nothing more.

You attract people with your magnetism because you project desire, and you may not even be aware of it. There is no way you can be sure of the kind of person who will respond to you. The result is that you may have become defensive as your dealings with everyone.

You are possessive with the persons you like and love. Be careful you don’t become vindictive because of jealousy. This can cause you endless problems in your relationships. Try to differentiate between people who are sincere in relating to you and those who make no contribution to sustain a genuine relationship. You must also watch that you don’t expect a lot from people, since you are inclined to be an opportunist.

You need to avoid indulging in daydreas so that you lose your contact with reality. The present is so important to you that you may not plan for the future by developing your creative potentials. You can easily get into a rut and wonder why you are not progressing. Develop your latent abilities and utilize those talents by applying them efficiently to your goals. You tend to resent suggestions from well-meaning friends as an attempt to discredit you. This is an emotional reaction and not a valid conclusion when you take a realistic view.

When others are honest with you there is nothing you won’t do for them and no sacrifice is too great. On the other hand, if anyone undermines you in any way, it’s unlikely you will ever forgive them nor forget it.

FROM LONDON WITH LOVE

It was an exceptionally beautiful weather for the season when we visited London between 1 and 6 December, except for Wednesday when it rained almost the whole morning. There’s seemingly an odd feeling of déjà-vu when one is caught in a heavy traffic during the rush hours and completely be lost in a crowded downtown street where he doesn't expect why he was there in the first place.

Suddenly, the landscape would appear so fascinating that one couldn't help but to stop for a moment, then admire the sight and explore its unusual beauty from different angles. Nonetheless, many tourists seemed to be too preoccupied with their priorities to get to the specific places that they would like to be.

Sara and I bought a season pass that was valid for the duration of our stay so that we could hop in or out of any bus when the traffic could be stacked for quite some time. Fortunately, the entrance to many of the famous museums was free of charge and we could just change our itinerary and go to the nearest one where the bus would eventually take us. There was too much to see but hardly enough time to accomplish everything in a few days. On the other hand, I just couldn't believe to find myself in a huge crowd wherever we went to as if I got caught in the middle of a carnival celebration or worse yet, a circus. Even shopping at Harrods on a gray and cold Saturday morning could practically be a hassle. Yet, the people seemed to enjoy so much from the pleasure of buying anything that they didn't mind being pushed around on their way to the counters or standing in line.

At almost 11.00 a.m. on Dec. l, we left Brussels South Station aboard the Channel train. We arrived at the Waterloo Station in London three hours later, with more than 15 minutes beyond schedule. David, our eldest son, was already at the station to fetch and take us to his place. While waiting for the bus to arrive, we posed in front of the Parliament and Big Ben for a picture taking.

After lunch, Sara went downtown while I took a nap because I was very exhausted from the trip and the few hours’ sleep I have had after our office party dance on the eve. At 5 p.m., David and I went to meet my former colleague, Tom Yong, in front of a metro station for a series of drinks at a pub called Churchill Arm.

The next day, I had a lunch at the Barbican Centre with David Lawrence, a colleague from our London office. Afterwards, I went straight to Knightsbridge in order to meet somebody who has the same name as mine that I accidentally came across in the signature book I was updating at work.

While waiting for him to appear, I suddenly felt so uneasy and intimidated as to how I'd react or address him when we come face to face at last. I was having a second thought whether or not to give him a bear hug or shake his hand when I saw him coming. Somehow, I was relieved to see him so cool and natural as he approached and greeted me spontaneously with a big smile and a warm handshake. He invited me to join him for a walk to the park nearby so that we could get to know each other better. Before we parted our ways that afternoon, he invited me for a drink two days before my departure.

Meanwhile, Sara and I went on a series of wild goose chase tours to all the important museums in the city. I was highly overwhelmed by the impressive quantity and high quality of the exhibits we saw, particularly those at the Greek and the Egyptian sections of the British Museum and the old masters' paintings at the National Gallery. During breaks, however, I met and talked to some locals and tourists in the museums, pubs and buses.

Somehow, I found it a very wonderful and unique experience to see and explore personally the many well-known places and at the same time to meet and talk to people from different countries. How I adore traveling! However, I wish I could have stayed longer in order to learn more about the local people, their customs and their tradition

BRUSSELS INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT FILMFEST - 2003

HANDREADING - THOMAS

Dear Thomas,

Thank you so much for sending me your handprints. I'm so glad that you marked with color the two pentagrams you told me about in your first mail. Personally, I might take them for asterisks that resemble a star which could signify a trying or delicate period in your life, but surrounded by a big square that must have protected you from any negative factors or elements that could have affected you even worse if it weren't present. Although the signs couldn't be visible clearly to the naked eye, they're so remarkable that they followed one after the other in succession during and after a somewhat difficult and critical period that have affected your life through a radical choice of career that must have taken you a couple of years or so of reflection when you were almost completing your initial studies, perhaps from medicine or engineering to business when you were between the ages of 24 and 25!

From the overall layout of your hand, you're an intelligent and artistic person who is sensitive and sentimental, i.e you feel melancholy and sadness deep inside you. When things would fall apart and you feel vulnerable and helpless, you couldn't help but burst into tears far away from the indiscreet glances of the crowd. I wouldn't be surprised at all if sad stories or films would easily make you cry. You seem to idealize love so much that you want to find the perfect partner who would share and reciprocate equally your happiness and sorrows throughout your life.

You're so compassionate and altruistic to be easily moved by the suffering and injustice of others that you'd like to bail them out from troubles at all cost. I can easily understand why you dreamed to become a doctor when you were young, because you'd like to make yourself well from the delicate state of health you went through from your very young age up to your mid-teens and to take care of others. If you have a way, you'd like to change the world in your own way so that it could be a better place to live in. Somehow you have had a protected childhood. You're too fortunate to have 3 guardian angels that look after you on a permanent basis since you're born.

You must have gone through a great deal of ups and downs in your sentimental life. Perhaps, you're in love on and off and that you're were so wary not to be hurt again after you suffered a series of deceptions between 14 and 22. I believe your left hand would tell me more about your early love life on how chaotic it was. However, your right hand reveals me that you met your first true and serious love when you were 24, more or less. Unless otherwise I'm not mistaken by the faint lines appearing on your union line, you'd have 3 children! Perhaps the third could be your favorite niece or nephew! On the other hand, you'd still be meeting another one with whom you'd fall madly in love again before you reach 35, or even earlier! Good luck!

Your sound financial situation is guaranteed for life, i.e. you'll not be short of finances even at the last minute! You'd travel far and wide for business and pleasure to Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Career-wise, you have had radical changes and improvements when you were 25 and 26, but the most significant one was before you reached 29! Between 30 and 40 would be a highly fulfilling and rewarding period with substantial expansion and progress foreseen between 37 and 39!

Before you reached 28, your health had bounced back to normality and had improved gradually onwards to give you a more positive and happy disposition.
