The 13th Warrior
Antonio Banderas is an Arab
at that time when the 13th warrior
has to be an Arab,
Picnic
Kim Novak’s first mama-mia role
and thereafter all lives intertwine
in picnics.

Marcelito On AGT
The Newest Filipino star
on the international stage
is Marcelito Pomoy,
catching attention with his singing
both Soprano and Tenor voices.
What is unique is that he switches from one
to the other with abrupt ease
as if he has two voice boxes in operation.
Which inspires me to guess that
he probably has a uniquely-developed Adams Apple.
He may even have an underdeveloped one.
Some Filipinos can do what he does,
but Marcelito’s rendition is done with finesse
and a quality that makes him incomparable.
Ah, heck, whatever what is, I do not get tired
of listening to him singing the same songs
at all hours of the day.
More of my tribute, however,
should to the woman
behind the man,
and/or
woman.
This would be Jo-Ann,
Marcelito’s wife.

PABLITO CALVO
played the role of Marcelino
in the screen adaptation of
“The Miracle of Marcelino”
by Jose Ma, Sanchez Silva.
This is the story of a baby
who was found at the gates of the monastery.
The monks reared him up after nobody
in town would like to accept him as an orphan.
When he was six years old, his curiosity led him to the attic.
and to see the crucified Christ.
Later on Marcelino brought this man on the cross
some bread and wine,
pilfered of course from the monastery kitchen
To make the story short, the man on the cross
granted Marcelino’s wish to see his mother.
And right from the very eyes of the eavesdropping m onks,
the man on the cross sent Marcelino to heaven.
Bull’s End
The bull does not have any idea
that it actually is fighting for its life.
Silence of the Lambs
Why do lambs keep silent
when they know that they are sacrificial?
The Closing Argument
And so the not so fruitful saga
of the Yard Worx blockade continues.
This time the City of Edmonton is not adversarial
nor argumentative.
It actually is on a dismissal mode
of some nuisance
which is me (pat-on-the back, pat-on-the-back!)
For Reference No. 8024183103 comes
the promised call from ‘private number, private Name’.
The caller assures that this call is from an office in City Hall
and that her designation is CPO487.
She did not give permission for me to print this.
She sounds more like a teacher in a chastening mood,
and proceeded to give suggestions as to how to file
complaints to the city.
She said that since the truck is not there anymore,
she is not going to do anything about the complaint.
She did say that the Reference Number
8024183103 will only be closed
and not removed.
This is good because because i will refer to this number
every time Yard Worx blocks my driveway.
Now it is my turn to recommend to the City Government
of Edmonton how to deal with “nuisance” complaints
about blocking driveways.
The City Council should consider issuing permits
to companies that service residential areas to allow
them to park anywhere for a specified and limited
length of time with the condition to move out
under emergency situations.
You know, just like ambulances, firetrucks, and police cars?
These permits will also provide more income for the city.
And now, the surprise—
Now we see the benefits of having video cameras
installed all over the place.
This had been very useful in solving
the vandalism that was done on that Hyundai.
The camera caught the guy opening the
glove compartment to pocket my cell phone.
I called the police which recovered the cell phone
from a store in West Edmonton.
It is also a good thing to list down the serial
number of your cell phone.
The police tracked it down before the day was over.
Remember—-video cameras.
