Austria: "What is going wrong in this land?"


Source:www.cnet.de

Austria - the image I have since I saw this film "The Sound of Music"
breathtaking view of mountains,laughing brooks and hills alive with
the sound of music as the song goes...pure idyll!

Austria - brings to my mind Beautiful Blue Danube by Johann Strauss,
our traditional yearly watching of Vienna New Year's Concert.

Austria means Mozart, his music and his now famous souvenirs
a must for every tourist...Mozart balls and other temptations
like the world's most famous cake - Sacher-Torte and Kaiserschmarrn
also known as the "emperor's mishmash".

Austria stands for Vienna Cafes where historically intellectuals
used to meet and maybe enjoy Viennese Apfelstrudel and Vienna sausage.

Austria stands for Sigmund Freund and his redefinition of
sexual desire and of course, the now famous "freudian slip".

(But not to forget, Hitler was also an Austrian and I personally
can not forget his date of birth as he has the same birthday
like my mother!)

So what is going wrong in this beautiful land?

All these beautiful images tarnished by this monster Josef F.
and his criminal doings against his own daughter.

And the most asked question...How come no one has noticed?
Not even his own wife???

How can she not notice it? Ask many Filipinas who call
their husbands to lunch or dinner and if they do not appear
at the table after the second call they would be screaming
and checking what they are doing in the cellar!!!

The question will remain...what is going wrong in
this beautiful land?

December 8, International Day of Climate Action




Ciao! Chanced on these posters today,
December 8, Saturday. Actually, I am transcribing interviews
with IT experts from India for a radio feature and before I
turn into some kind of (pili)nut for deciphering the meanings
of some spoken words,I decided to check on my long unattended blogs
which have not been updated since summer this year. I think
I have done my part in contributing to saving our dear planet
earth without going to Bali for this climate conference. I have
not been using much energy since August...see, no updates!
But today, Saturday, another date for another small
Christmas party celebration and will meet my mama manita...
hope she is generous and fun to be with and just a nice
person. She will love my gift certicate from Tchibo where
she could get her energy conserving electric blanket
and egg cooker, electric peeler, shaker, can opener
chocolate and breadmaker and what have you.
No, Tchibo does not deal yet with electric hair curlers
and electric...relaxation... chairs.
BTW, remember those T-shirts sold by Apo Hiking Society
with funny logos and one liners like:
Anong ginagamit ng mga Pilipino bago nila naimbento
ang gamit ng kandila? Electricity!
For translation, ask your NPs...nice Pinay and Pinoy
friends and neighbors.
