JAPANESE WAR CRIMES: SURGICAL EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED ON FILIPINOS

The disgraced ex Prime Minister Abe should be reading this. The man who kept on insisting that Japan was never a World War 2 bully, the man who brazenly tried to revise Japan's war history, should be made to listen to a recording of this man's confession, again and again. According to Akira Makino, they cut the throats of Filipino hostages and performed brutal medical experiments on a number of others. The entire article is featured below.

OIL PRICE BREAKS $92/BARREL

Turmoil in the major supply sources Iraq, Nigeria and Iran created fears that supply will not be free flowing like before. This resulted to a record breaking price that peaked at $93.20 a barrel, before slipping back to $93.05. The current price is about 29% increase to the price level five months ago ($65.89 per barrel). Whenever there is a movement in oil prices, I always go back to the oil's real value which is estimated by experts to be at $182/barrel. At the rate that the prices are moving, I'd say that we're on our way. Time to devout more energy to alternative sources of fossil fuel, alternative(renewable) energy and better fuel efficiency of our gas guzzlers. The legendary Lee Iacocca claims that unfair trade practices cause the low sales of American in Japan. I beg to disagree. Other than better quality of Japanese cars compared to the US automobiles, compare the fuel efficiency of Japanese cars against the US vehicles. The result should be enlightening enoug

Plunderer Pardoned!

Found guilty of plunder, this deposed president was pardoned by the incumbent, only three days after he applied for clemency. Joseph Ejercito Estrada, detained (or billeted) in a luxurious estate for six years, sentenced to a couple of life terms by the courts and yet to see the insides of a prison cell, was freed by her successor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. This is a mad mad world. I pity the millions of poor citizens in one of Asia's poorest countries. Consistent with my call for an end to Burma's violence, I now join a nonviolent opposition to the pardon, on behalf of the staring citizens of the Philippines. Justice for the poorest of the poor !

CRISIS = OPPORTUNITY

With crisis comes foreclosures. With foreclosures come bargain assets. Here's yahoo's tips on how to find the best bargains.

ONLINE BOOKING AND THE MUSIC AFFICIONADOS

A good friend loves this character so much that she reserves Hannah Montana tickets , the earliest possible. All these online ticket sites have proven to be so useful for the concert aficionados. Because of it, musical enjoyment has never been so easy. Imagine how it was before. There were horrible long lines and furious haggling for tickets. I certainly wouldn’t want that to happen again.

Weight loss

In another blog, somebody posted about a Miracle burn supplement that has proven to be very effective. My personal take regarding that is the need for diet and exercise that will aid in the fat burning process. Pills alone will not work if the individual’s food intake continues to be excessive. However, diet, exercise and those diet supplements should do the work. Of course, one should get a physicians medical opinion before engaging in any type of weight loss program. Trying to tinker with the human body always carry certain hazards to a person’s health.

BATTERIES

Whenever on travel, I make sure that I have ample stock of batteries for my camera, cellular phone and flashlight. The camera is useful in capturing precious moments, the cellular phone to keep me connected with the rest of the world, and the flashlight for emergency purposes. Those three things tops the list of important items that I will bring with me if ever I am forced to jump ship.

Microwave Ovens

As a person who leaves alone, I am naturally inefficient in the consumption of various things. Imagine cooking an entire chicken but being unable to finish all the food in one meal. Reheating the leftover lunch to become part of my dinner repertoire means that I waste precious minutes every day. It’s a good thing that this has become the age of microwave ovens . With it, fast reheating has never been so accurate with food being processed evenly.

PAYDAY LOANS

Are you in need of quick cash? Are you in need of cash but does not have a credit history? Or, do you have a poor credit history or bankrupt? Do not despair. There is such thing as a fast payday loans facility that will willingly address your concerns --> Fast! Payday loans work by serving lending those who are suddenly in need of a cash advance to be paid during the next payday. If the borrower is currently: • Employed for at least 3 consecutive months. • Earning at least $1,000 per month in income. • Having a valid checking account open for at least 3 months Then, the usual minimum lenders requirements have been met and the application may proceed. There are a number of lending institutions that provide the same service but the major advantages of online applications include the fast processing and disbursement of the loan amount (usually overnight, after loan approval) and the guaranteed anonymity of the borrower. One need not suffer the embarrassment of having to line up fo

U.S. Trio Win Nobel In Economics

Americans Leonid Hurwicz, Eric Maskin and Roger Myerson won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences on Monday for work that helps explain situations in which markets work well. The three researchers "laid the foundations of mechanism design theory," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. "Mechanism design theory initiated by Leonid Hurwicz and further developed by Eric Maskin and Roger Myerson has greatly enhanced our understanding of optimal allocation mechanisms in such situations, accounting for individuals' incentives and private information." Their theory allows economists, governments and businesses to "distinguish situations (that) work well from those in which they do not." This post will be updated in a couple of hours... Guten Morgen! :D

SLOT CARS

With the high maintenance costs associated with owning a car, I might as well put my purchase plan on hold. The price of petrol is climbing like crazy and all indications are pointing northwards. My current vehicle is not bad. In fact, I still proudly display it everywhere. So, for now, my next four wheel purchase will be a couple of slot cars . With a fast slot car, I’d surely be the most popular kid in the neighborhood. There’s nothing wrong with it, except that I’m 20 years past that age group.

It’s time to please the readers. In the movie Gladiators , the former great general-turned-slave Maximus was advised that the only way to win his freedom is not by being the best killer in the arena but by being the crowd’s favorite. Both men and women will like this clips. Men like seductive bodies while women surely appreciate sexy lingerie . Economists, accountants, planners or whatever you are, here’s something for you. I would love to see Alan Greenspans reaction if ever he will watch the following videos.

Missing Golf

I haven’t’ played golf for quite some time and I am starting to miss it. I miss the crisp sound of my driver hitting the ball, as I tee off, signaling the start of a relaxing day. I also miss the feel of a stiff driver bending behind me as I reach the back swing. For years, I used to Taylor Made but there’s a possibility that I will be considering Nike golf clubs , next time. With those clubs, some of Tiger Wood’s skills will hopefully be passed on to me.

Pimpin' my Chrysler 300

For those wondering how to spice up their cars and thinking of the best Chrysler 300 accessories , I think that a new meshgrill would be enough. I’ve seen these models being accessorized with thin mag wheels and I think it’s a bit too much for me. Installing wide mag wheels and having a lowered car, at my age, will make me look like somebody who missed some parts of his youth. To each his own.

PACQUIAO vs BARERRA 2: round by round commentary - HERE IT IS!

Caveat Emptor: This is a commentary from a non boxer's point of view. The author, though, is well experienced in hand to hand combat situations and the exposure in this area stretches to more than a decade. ROUND 1: Started with both trying to measure each other. Pacquiao gave a few isolated combinations but back pedaled whenever Barrera countered. Barrera tried to explode a couple of times but stopped and readjusted after PAC has shifted his line. Winner? Hard to say.. Even? ROUND 2: Barrera probably led it by a few points. He tagged the PAC with a few slugs that did not seem to hurt. As a fighter, I’d say it wasn’t much. But in boxing where points count, the Pac should not have allowed MAB to hit him at all unless he was using it to measure the distance and hit back with knockout punches. ROUND 3: Barrera landed more solid punches but Pac wasn’t hurt. The Pac was unable to punch effectively. It’s in this round though where I saw how fast Manny’s punches are. His 1-2-3 left-ri

PACQUIAO vs BARERRA 2: round by round commentary

Nope, I didn't think this bout will be as good as the Morales- Pacquiao bouts so I didn't order a Pay per view. The delayed telecast has just ended and it's time for me to go to church. Pacquiao won by a unanimous decision and I will be uploading a round by round commentary after dinner, tonight. For the meantime, here's a news report . UPDATE: ROUND BY ROUND COMMENTARY Vamos a ver!

RAINS, COLDS, FLU, EXERCISE, DIET & VITAMINS

These rains are creating havoc in my system. It threatens to bring coughing bouts, cold and worse, influenza to my staff. And since most of us here have not taken flu vaccine shots this year, we have to take extra caution to avoid these inconveniences. It’s a good thing that I have a set of garden of life in the office. In addition to proper diet, a good set of supplements would be a big help.
