Weblog 072411

The weekend is about to, uhm, well... end. I miss my kambal. Did nothing but sleep, sleep, and sleep some more. Also watched some episodes of Samurai X, 24, and Gundam Wing. This evening, I walked along Timog and just drank the coldness of the night. I really miss my kambal.

Here's a bit of statistics: There are 6.93 billion people around the world. Even if only 10% of this number prays and asks for less calamity and hardships, it is still a whopping 693 million individual persons praying to one God (with different names) for one single thing: world peace. So the question remains: with God's omnipotence and immeasurable mercy, why do the following, among others, still exist: It is estimated that globally, there are 16 million thunderstorms each year. About 50-60 volcanoes erupt every year. 20-30 are effusive (lava flows), another 20-30 are explosive. Out of 2,207 work-related suicides in 2007 (in Japan), the most common reason (672 suicides) w
