Who cares about fucking climate change
Mr. McConell with his new found political power in 2015 denies any consequence of climate changes. His state rely so much on coal energy which is his survival. To decide opposite will be a political suicide. Kentucky has been poor because its constituent refuse to change and cling to an ideology fed by its Kentucky political majority. Will Abraham or Jesus come down to save the the Earth when shit happens? Like divide on Red River to free Israelite from Egypt or feeding hundreds with a loft of bread. I say 100% NO. Shit hits the fun.
UST MED fraternity
To all my beloved brothers and sisters,
I am a fucking renegade and out right non-sectarian brother. It is not the principles of this fraternity but I speak my mind that the founding fathers has created. I typed "created". But, I am not creationist. To make this fraternity survive is affirm the US First Amendment without censorship. The MED website is notorious with censorship. A website processing "goodwill" to fucking mankind. What such a hypocrisy.
MED will demise without changing its fucking social and political values.

Midterm election in relation to the minorities (blacks and naturalized immigrants)
This is a too late blog post. Being naturalized citizen since 1986, I come to realize that voting for the presidency is not as crucial as this midterm election. I have seen the dysfunction in Congress when there is severe polarization. When strict ideology intervenes with humanity's issues of its constituents. I am well aware that the mainstream US citizen which is mostly native born (and white) knows this issue. This awareness has not been disseminated to the minorities especially the immigrants. These constituents believe that voting a president that empathize with their issues and grievances will somehow solve their problems. I have seen the deadlock between the President and Congress. Immigrants and minorities are here to pursue their dreams but they are denied because of the unawareness or consciousness of the political process. They came from countries where there is no political power of its people. That a benevolent paternalistic President will solve their issues. Their adapted country which USA is founded on three important branches. They are aware of the President and the laws of the land being law abiding constituents but not how they can have an important impact into the law making branch of the government. It is the reason why midterm election is so important. Midterm election is traditionally a low turn out for minorities and young voters. It is a disservice to these constituents if we can not make them aware. This political power must reach their consciousness. I wish I can translate it to different languages spoken in the USA.

The Philippines
Five hundred years of Spanish colonization is a long painful "mother"separation. The irony is its own people is doing what the colonizer started five hundred years ago. Truly, history repeats itself. Behavior is a definite factor in mass "mentality".

To Run A Swiming Pool
To run or open a pool is a fit for the novice. What I learned is to close the pool by a professional dude. Because, it requires the pipes drain without the the water. You need that. Otherwise, cracks and leakage throughout your pipes is a nightmare. It is quite expensive. Let the professional close your pool. Opening it is optional to your abilities. I call it the macho image. I did quite well in the two season. But somehow I forgot in the third to tighten the pressure switch and it came loose and shattered by the shear force of the water. Manual is invaluable. It identifies the part that is relevant. The pool store is open on Sunday and was able to procure the part. I replaced today and it works. The lesson of the day involves diligence and perseverance. With a lot of thought (and not being stupid). Bon Jrz.

A Greener Earth
During a weekend dinner about a month ago, my household was discussing about how we dispose food scraps and bio-degradable substance instead of dumping into the garbage bin. It was no brainer. A compost pit in our backyard. But, how this behavior will have some positive impact to the environment. Then, everyone gave their opinion. Abbey proposed saving or preserve landfill. We agreed. We collected a month worth of data. Food scraps and bio-degradable to a bin and garbage (non food scraps and non-biodegradable) to separate bin. I weighed food scraps and bio-degradable daily and recorded them. A month worth of data was recorded. By extrapolating the data, our household saves about 8500 pounds (3855.5 kg) a year of landfill.
Bon Jersey!
