These days (17)

James 1:26
"If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridled not his tongue, but deceiuth his owne heart, this man's religion is vaine". Think before you write. And review what you write. People with great power have great responsibility and influence. You are not a child anymore. If your writing can do more harm than good then keep silent.

Tripping
I'm going to Baguio city where the weather is cool, the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Nah just felt the need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A change of surroundings. Okay the first rule is to look for a lodging place. From experience, the best thing to do is ask people around or walk five blocks or more from the center of the city to find the inexpensive hotels. Some exercise will do you good. See you guys in a jiffy.

Running amok
Beware of these psychopaths. "Running amok is used to refer to the behavior of someone who, in the grip of strong emotion, obtains a weapon and begins attacking people indiscriminately, often with multiple fatalities. An episode of amok may be triggered by a period of depression or highly aggressive behavior. The slang term going postal is similar in scope. Police describe such an event as a killing spree. If the individual is seeking death an alternate method is often suicide by cop." This behavior was particularly observed in the Malaysian/Indonesian culture in which the word Amok originated.

Morning
So I have been listening to this guy on the radio from time to time cause he talks nonsense like Gary Lising. He says www.coursera.com will be the next big thing. I believed him and learned some things from it. But it did not become big. Then another time he says the girl from the Blurred Lines video will be the next big thing. Did not happen. Don't ever listen to this guy.

Swordfighting and Tennis
Do you see the resemblance? The forehands, backhands, smashing, serving is like fighting an opponent. Swordsmen use two hands on heavy swords and samurai. And the awkward pronation of the offhand is like holding a shield. Maybe these tennisters are modern-day swordsmen and swordswomen. So maybe Venus and Serena are like the brothers The Hound and The Mountain in Game of Thrones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qaxzwlg9N_Q Okay see the technique involved, serves and smashes are seldom used, to start a game or to finish a point. Its like the serves is the start of the attack for swordsmen and if the enemy has fallen you finish him with the smash. The volleys and half-volleys are the piercing motion for offense or defense. For long rallies or fights, tennisters use the forehands and backhands if you notice the stroke is from under up to upwards. This is similar to Taekwondo where the 45 degree kicks are from under. You master the 45 kicks and you will be difficult to defeat. Yep in MMA, the feet are used like a sword.

Blackbird
Went to Glorietta yesterday trolling around like I do and going home, you know how difficult it is to go home using the bus. I saw this building titled Blackbird and read it was a control tower before and became interested thinking it is a museum. To my surprise it is a restaurant for the high-end citizens if I may say because of the way they conduct themselves, from their looks and clothes. So I was laughing in there knowing I was in my shorts and perspiration sticked the t-shirt to my skin because of walking. Nonetheless I felt comfortable in there. I went up the stairs to check out the place some more and then went on my way.
