Week Past 04/07-04/13/08 (Haircut/Donation)
Wed 04/07 had my haircut after almost 4 months. I try to delay it as much as possible and wait for coupons to get discount. Haircut, to me, is expensive at $16.00 plus $2 tip. I guess I still can't help comparing the price in Manila or whatever, it's still pricey. I requested the hair stylist if I can collect my cut hair so I can use it in our garden to ward of the rabbits. She said okay. But while she was washing my hair after the cut her co worker swept the floor. When we learned about it she offered if I wanted to just get the bag where they collect all the cut hair. I said OK that'll give me more hair to spread in the garden and hopefully the rabbits would refrain from nibbling the dayillies.
Thu 04/10 another winter storm warning (and it's already spring) is in effect beginning early evening. It was a mixture of rain, snow and strong winds but no accumulation. Today is also a red day for me. Another blood donation that fit into my schedule. It was done at the Y gym where I used to work out. I came in early as a walk in because their schedule was already filled. Turned out to be fastest yet in terms of the process. I was the second donor and I was out of there in less than an hour. That was good as the weather was becoming unpleasant.
Fri 04/11 while watching the BBC news the Philippines was part of their international news coverage. It was about the rice shortage and the need for the government to intervene to avoid crisis. It's ironic and heartbreaking. The International Rice Reasearch Institute (IRRI) is in the Philippines and yet, as the joke goes, it's findings and expertise never crossed the street. Foreigners who learned from the institute e.g. Thailand, became self sufficient and rice exporter. Yet the Philippines would rather import. Why? Because there's profit in importation. Somebody's pocket gets lined with plenty of cash in $$$$. Meanwhile agricultural development lags behind. The Philippines (our home) can really be a great nation if only it's leaders (supposedly the parents) would stop thinking only for themselves but instead look after the future of their children (it's citizens). Abba, why are we being punished?

They say that economic crises is a good opportunity for the wise to earn much more while those who have dyscalculla shall live in scratches, donations and alms.
Farmers here claimed that there are plenty of "palay" on their farms and yet as usual,stakeholders who are responsible on this field say's that though it's claimed that we have plenty of rice, data shows that it is not enough to feed all consumer now a days so the government shall have to import rice from other countries.

Re: Studies and personalities who became good farmers on their own after IRRI , well, I think they have a heart and god fearing people, for they know how to think and consider the future not with wealth only but just being one of the creation of GOD like us .
Hail to them!!!
