anyways, to cut a long story longer, to her credit, she wasn't suicidal but it seemed to me that she had changed for good.  she went to the u.s., and after she overstayed, she married someone for a fee.  that someone was a cad, no doubt, because he threatened her with whistle-blowing if she didn't go to bed with him.  i was shaken by her story, about which she was very honest.  but i was shaken more by the fact that every so often she still whispered to herself, "dong, am i doing the right thing?" hoping her dead boyfriend will guide her; that, after many years.  mora gyod kog gikumot sa kalooy.

i've experienced this up close and personal.  naa koy college chum; i can't blame her for wanting to leave the philippines and all her bad memories behind. 

ang iya tawong boyfriend nga dugay na kaayo had met a terrible car accident (he was a speed freak, may he rest in peace).  his remains fitted in a shoebox.  adding nails to the coffin (pardon the pun), sa haya nga nagkamatay tawon akong miga ug mourn, naa pa gyoy baye nga nitungha, mabdos.  eeekkks.  bisan tuod ug ang akong miga ang beneficiary sa tanang insurances atong gihaya, nakasiyagit pa gyod siya ug "dong, kabuhi tawon ug balik aron patyon ta kaaaaaa!"

uy, nitaas na mag liko akong estorya...

A Chilling Verdict in Spain

The enemies of Judge Baltasar Garzón have finally gotten their way.  Spain’s Supreme Court this week found the judge guilty of misapplying the country’s wiretap law and suspended him from the courts for 11 years.

Judge Garzón has played an important role in Spain’s transition to democracy, as a scourge of corrupt politicians left and right and a powerful champion of international human rights law. His efforts to prosecute the former Chilean dictator, Gen. Augusto Pinochet, and investigate the horrors of the Spanish Civil War era, though unsuccessful, advanced the principle that there can be neither amnesty nor impunity for crimes against humanity.

Thursday’s ruling stemmed from prison wiretaps of conversations between lawyers and their clients that the judge ordered in a 2008 case involving bribes allegedly paid to local officials of the now-ruling Popular Party.  Judge Garzón was not alone in ordering those wiretaps, but he alone was prosecuted, even while the public prosecutor argued that there were no grounds for a criminal proceeding.  Convicting a jurist over a court ruling is an appalling attack on judicial independence.  Two other cases against him are pending â€" one involving his inquiry into mass killings during the civil war and the Franco dictatorship, and another concerning allegations of conflict of interest in a tax fraud case.

Judge Garzón is far from perfect, but the decision by the Spanish Supreme Court to remove him from the bench is enormously damaging to the prospects of fair and impartial justice.  What investigating magistrate would not now hesitate before pursuing politically sensitive cases?  Will the Franco-era crimes that scarred Spain for two generations remain forever uninvestigated?

Judge Garzón cannot appeal in the Spanish court system.  But he can challenge this decision in Spain’s Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.  We hope he does.  As this week’s miscarriage of justice plainly demonstrates, Spain still needs his help in keeping its judiciary fearless and independent.

A version of this editorial appeared in print on February 11, 2012, on page A20 of the New York edition with the headline: A Chilling Verdict in Spain.

Courier and Enquirer's furious response to American Notes:
James Watson Webb, editor of the Courier and Enquirer (Picture between 1855 and 1865)

Mr Dickens is a young man who knows nothing of this world, of society, or of government, but what he picked up as a "flash reporter" and penny-a-liner when connected with some of the most scurrilous of the vile presses with which London abounds.  No person of ordinary intelligence can get up from the perusal of these "notes" without feeling that the great aim of the writer is produce the impression among the English readers that he is really somebody, and possesses all those niceties of feeling and sensitiveness of contact with the vulgar mass, so frequently assumed by the low-bred scullion unexpectedly advanced from the kitchen to the parlour...

Courier and Enquirer, 17 November 1842
#36325
'Silver sunshine'

For some Dickens scholars, the "Quarrel With America" marks a significant shift in his work.

"Dickens had a traumatising experience in America," argues Prof Meckier.  "He became less radical, less optimistic, and he downgraded his view of human nature."

Dickens expressed his darker world view in later novels such as David Copperfield and Bleak House.

But despite the "quarrel", these books sold as well as his early works.  And it was the novelist's enduring popularity with American readers that eventually ended the dispute.

Towards the end of his life, Dickens began holding wildly popular public readings from works such as A Christmas Carol.

He sent a scout to assess if the American public would react as well as his fans in England, and after getting favourable reports, he returned to the US in 1867 and 1868.

Dickens needn't have worried about his reception.

"To say that his audience followed him with delight hardly expresses the interest with which they hung upon his every word," wrote the Boston Journal.

"It was not Dickens, but the creation of his genius, that seemed to live and talk before the spectators."

Almost all of Dickens's American critics were won over by his performances, and the quarrel was declared to be over.

"Dickens' second coming was needed to disperse every cloud and every doubt," said the New York Tribune, "and to place his name undimmed in the silver sunshine of American admiration".

#36327
'Traitor'

On his return to England, Dickens published two books about his American trip.

As well as the scathing travel writing of American Notes, he satirised the country viciously in a section of Martin Chuzzlewit, his next major novel.

To the American press, the books were a libel on their country.

"We are all described as a filthy, gormandizing race," raged an article in the Courier and Enquirer, which was edited by James Watson Webb.

It described Dickens as a "low-bred scullion... who for more than half his life has lived in the stews of London".

Many of the friends Dickens had made in America, such as the novelist, Washington Irving, were also outraged and struggled to forgive him for ridiculing their country in print.

"Americans felt they'd welcomed Dickens into their country as a hero," says Prof Meckier, "and now there was a sense he was a traitor."
#36328
Pirated editions

By this stage in the trip, Americans were as annoyed with Dickens as the novelist was with them.

The issue was a very modern one - intellectual property.

In 1842, there were no international copyright laws so Americans could read Dickens's works for free in pirated editions.

Once Dickens saw how popular he was in the US, he realised he could virtually double his income if his American fans started paying a going rate for his work.

"I am the greatest loser alive by the present law," he complained in letters home.

Dickens raised the matter with his American audiences as tactfully as he could.

At literary dinners, he argued that that a copyright law would help American writers as much as him, and he stressed that he would "rather have the affectionate regard of my fellowmen as I would have heaps and mines of gold".

But the American press turned on Dickens, accusing him of mixing pleasure and business.

"We are mortified and grieved that he should have been guilty of such great indelicacy and impropriety," said the New York Courier and Enquirer, then the country's most popular paper.

"The entire press of the Union was predisposed to be his eulogist, but he urged those assembled (not just to) do honour to his genius, but to look after his purse also."

Dickens's visit to America ended with both sides accusing each other of being vulgar money-grabbers.
#36329
"Tobacco-tinctured saliva"

He visited the Capitol, met American politicians and attend President John Tyler's morning reception at the White House.

But by now Dickens was in such a foul mood that his enduring memory of the city was the tobacco-spitting he saw in the streets.

"Washington may be called the headquarters of tobacco-tinctured saliva," Dickens fumed in American Notes.  "The thing itself is an exaggeration of nastiness, which cannot be outdone."

As for the politicians, Dickens concluded that, like everyone else in America, they were motivated by money, not ideals.

"I am disappointed," he wrote in a famous letter.  "This is not the republic of my imagination."

Washington, Dickens blasted in American Notes, was the home of "Despicable trickery at elections; under-handed tamperings with public officers; and cowardly attacks upon opponents, with scurrilous newspapers for shields, and hired pens for daggers".
#36330
'Fellow animals'

In New York, the jewellers Tiffany's had made copies of a Dickens bust and an enterprising barber is said to have tried to sell locks of the writer's hair.

Then, there were the table manners of the Americans that Dickens was forced to share meals with as he travelled around the country.

In his travel book, American Notes, Dickens describes Mid-Westerners at dinner as "so many fellow animals", who "strip social sacraments of everything but the mere satisfaction of natural cravings".

"The longer Dickens rubbed shoulders with Americans, the more he realised that the Americans were simply not English enough," says Professor Jerome Meckier, author of Dickens: An Innocent Abroad.

"He began to find them overbearing, boastful, vulgar, uncivil, insensitive and above all acquisitive."
#36331
Enthusiastic fans

As a committed social reformer, Dickens wanted to use his trip to find out if American democracy was an improvement on class-ridden Victorian England.

The novelist particularly enjoyed Boston, his first port of call.

His hosts watched in amazement as he charged through the snowy streets with delight, reading aloud the signs on the shops.

But little by little, the enthusiasm of his American fans began to overwhelm him.

When Dickens's boat made a stopover in Cleveland, he awoke to find a "party of gentlemen" staring through the cabin window as his wife lay in bed.

"If I turn into the street, I am followed by a multitude," Dickens complained in a letter.

"I can't drink a glass of water, without having 100 people looking down my throat when I open my mouth to swallow."

When Charles Dickens fell out with America
BBC News
14 February 2012




On his first visit to America in 1842, English novelist Charles Dickens was greeted like a modern rock star.  But the trip soon turned sour, as Simon Watts reports.

On Valentine's Day, 1842, New York hosted one of the grandest events the city had ever seen - a ball in honour of the English novelist Charles Dickens.

Dickens was only 30, but works such as Oliver Twist and the Pickwick Papers had already made him the most famous writer in the world.

The cream of New York society hired the grandest venue in the city - the Park Theatre - and decorated it with wreaths and paintings in honour of the illustrious visitor.

There was even a bust of Dickens hanging from one of the theatre balconies, with an eagle appearing to soar over his head.

Dickens and his wife, Catherine, danced most of the night in the company of around 3,000 guests.

"If I should live to grow old," the novelist told a dinner the following night, "the scenes of this and other evenings will shine as brightly to my dull eyes 50 years hence as now".

But a visit which had started so well quickly turned into a bitter dispute, known as the "Quarrel with America".

She had the perfect voice, and the perfect image: a gorgeous singer who had sex appeal but was never overtly sexual, who maintained perfect poise.

"Six-time Grammy winner Whitney Houston was one of the world's greatest pop singers of all time who leaves behind a robust musical soundtrack spanning the past three decades," Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy said in a statement.

"Her powerful voice graced many memorable and award-winning songs. A light has been dimmed in our music community today, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, fans and all who have been touched by her beautiful voice," he said.

Houston influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey, who, when she debuted, sounded so much like Houston that many thought it was Houston.

But by the end of her career, Houston became a stunning cautionary tale of the toll of drug use. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once-serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances. She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her once pristine voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she had during her prime.

"The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy," Houston told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 interview with then-husband Brown by her side.

Houston staged what seemed to be a successful comeback with the 2009 album "I Look To You." The album debuted on the top of the charts, and would eventually go platinum.

Things soon fell apart. A concert to promote the album on "Good Morning America" went awry as Houston's voice sounded ragged and off-key. She blamed an interview with Winfrey for straining her voice.

A world tour launched overseas, however, only confirmed suspicions that Houston had lost her treasured gift, as she failed to hit notes and left many fans unimpressed; some walked out.

Canceled concert dates raised speculation that she may have been abusing drugs, but she denied those claims and said she was in great shape, blaming illness for cancellations.

hehe, og mo kaon ang ero sa balhibo sa iring , pwede sigoro. kining iring maka transmit ni sila og histoplasmosis , mao ni i always warn my pregnant patients if they have a cat kai maka transmit ang iring (especially kittens) og histoplasmosis sa bata.

thank heavens i advised our help before to stop cleaning the cat room, even forbidding her from going inside, when she married and got pregnant.

Thank You for sharing the warm little biography of Rex ! hehe, the name makes me think of the movie Jurassic Park (specifically the tyrannosaurus rex dino) lol. Mestizo Filipino-German shepherd diay si Rex?  Ka cute pod.

I do know that vets here in the states give dogs who have asthma an oral drug called montelukast (this is also used for human patients w/ asthma).

At 10 years (he is about 70 dog years), it will be common to see the ailments related to aging, Isles. I hope that Rex continues to be loving to you and your family for more years to come.

Sige, update me lang later. Whenever you can.

:'( poor rex.  i hope they'll hurry with the dog run that i asked them to make.  he just might enjoy it.  yes, i'll update you the soonest.  thanks.

p.s. i'll call the vet tonight about montelukast.  by the way, cebu already has a veterinary hospital with an ambulance.  of course, rex is not going to need this ambulance, never, as in never.

hala ka... motuo ka o di, gi-asthma siya human giwisiwisi ang usa ka iring layaw.  nahadlok siya ug ang iring sa siniyagit nako.  wa maunsa ang iring, pero nitagam na gyod ug balik sa amo.  friendly siya sa among own irings, masuko lang gyod siya kun naay strangers nga moanha.  sa ako lang, kun maka-asthma pa ang iring, dugay na unta kong gi-asthma.  what i know is makagaba ang iring.  i hope di unta tantong nagabaan si rex.

Another quick question, how much does Rex weigh? Repost it here so i can do a proper calculation in how much of the drug should you ask the pharmacy to prepare.

i'll ask our cebu household about rex's weight.  (i arrived in manila last night.)  i hope they know what to do.  rex happens to be a mestizo filipino-german shepherd.  he may not be that big, but still i can't carry him.  he's a good dog; not that smart, maybe, but a very gentle one.  his original owner had died of breast cancer some seven years ago.  rex was given to us as a puppy that urgently needed a home.

lorenz, one of our dogs has asthma.  no vet in cebu was able to treat him so far.  one of them said 'tuseran' will do.  it didn't work.  and i read somewhere that human medicines aren't good for dogs, huhuhu.

looy kaayo si rex kay kun i-'walk-the-dog' mo-collapse intawon usahay.  it's making me sad.  if no animal doctor will do, can a human doctor do something?  for obvious reasons, i cannot go to a human doctor here with a dog as a patient.  but here in tb, miracles are not far away.  any tips, please?  rex will be celebrating his 10th birthday this coming month of may.

another exception rather than rule.  the crumbling of the marriage is not because the husband is an ofw.  he just happens to be.  many marriages in our midst crumble as well even if both the husband and wife are never away from each other for more than 24 hours.  i'd rather believe that there's much more to the crumbling of a marriage between two different characters and temperaments, regardless of where one works.
