I believe in Karma

“The air is filled with deafening noise and sumptuous smells.” This is how a BBC correspondent described

New Delhi

. I really love the British way with words. It’s as if every one of them is a diplomat in training.

I am piqued at how the West, read as US and

Britain

in particular, put a blind eye to what

Israel

is doing in

Lebanon

. I am no anti-Semitic and I am certainly no advocate of terrorism. I also believe in the concept of the right to defend one self but I don’t see the right of anyone to go into their neighbor’s house without a search warrant because they believe it’s the neighbor’s son who is stealing all the cookies in the neighborhood. Wag sana sila ma-karma.

I’m stuck here at

Detroit

 

Airport

doing nothing for 7 hours waiting for my flight. I’m a day early than schedule to

Florida

because apparently everybody in

Manila

are going out of the country, this must be the diaspora that young, younger than me that is, student from UP talked about in her speech. All flights are booked until mid August. I tried all airlines, every possible route, via

Hong Kong

,

Singapore

,

Kuala Lumpur

,

Bangkok

, even

Taipei

to no avail! As fate would have it, I got confirmed for July 28 flight on July 27, not morning but afternoon! With my “to-do” list almost two-page long, I had to prioritize. It’s simply an impossibility to do everything in less than 12 hours what I would normally plan out for at least a week. So without sleep, I boarded a Northwest flight bound to

Tokyo

, then to

Detroit

, and later to

Florida

, my final destination. Haggardness to the nth power.
