It's been over a week since Independence Day and I cannot even remember we had one. Maybe we didn't or probably I was asleep? Who knows what we frogs might be up to these days. It could be anything from cleaning white dishes to filling black treasuries. But pardon me for my absence, I know not what I was up to.

So how was you're Valentine? Since many are actually celebrating the beginning of their efforts before they even set sight on the job, I thought I should too in my return after, well, a few days I guess. Nonetheless, nothing ever takes away everything or gives back what it took, so why tread on something that you know would lead you to no where. Probably that's why the skies have been so busy lately and not to mention the flare of the Sun, which took me by blisters.

Not surprisingly some smart guys decided to declare the missing as dead, at least that ended up the obligation of finding them. Of course now they have found a much interesting place to count the flow of savings which some say that was intended to fill the pockets of the homeless. That can wait though, as many mourn the victims of the mine disaster in China; a tragic end to their Lunar New Year. It's not hard to believe why their industrial labor is been taken for granted.

Anyway, out of the blues, a few things that captivated me since waking up were the emergence of Mahabalipuram, a myth that has become reality thanks to the Tsunami, the 5-ECA launch, Europe’s guaranteed access to space and the final 30 minutes of Million Dollar Baby. Go get that Oscar Mr. Eastwood!
