Feast of St. Agrippina di Mineo


Sant' Agrippina di Mineo was a beautiful blond princess who was unmercifully tortured to death by the emperor of Rome, Emperor Valerian in 256 AD. After her death, her body was taken from Rome to Mineo, Sicily by three holy women; Bassa, Paula, and Agatonica.



Sant' Agrippina is the patron saint of thunderstorms, leprosy and evil spirit. Her feast day is celebrated on the first weekend in August.

The Swan Boats of Boston



The weather is so nice, parang Maynila but not muggy that I decided to bring my lunch baon to the mini lake of Boston Common.  Isang lata ng Ligo sardines, itlog na maalat at kamatis atsaka kaning lamig sabay kamayan na.  As usual puno ng turista ang Swan Boats of Boston.  Gustong sumakay ni Bertha kaso bawal daw. Ang sabida pa eh  "read the sign kid."




For over 130 years, the Swan Boats have been a part of the Boston experience. As a welcome sign of Spring, they grace the waters of the Boston Public Garden, the first botanical garden in the United States. Famed in the stories Make Way for Ducklings and The Trumpet of the Swan, the Swan Boats are the only boats of their kind in the world.




The current Swan Boats carry around 20 passengers, seated on transverse benches, on a 15 minute figure of eight voyage around the lake. The boats are 30 ft long (9.1 m), and are formed of two pontoons in a catamaran  arrangement. They are manually propelled by a crewmember, often a high school or college student, who pedals and steers the craft from within the swan outline shell at the stern. The pedals drive a paddle wheel situated between the boat's twin hulls. [wiki]

License to Laugh

 

♪♫ I've seen all the movie stars  ♪♫ In their fancy cars and their limousines  ♪♫ Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens ... Teka minute, pakanta-kanta pa ako eh expired na pala 'tong lisensiya ko.  Buti na lang hindi ako nahuli. Papunta na ako sa LTO este Registry nang makatihan kong i-check yung website nila.  Ayun pwede palang mag-renew online. Ang dali, less than 3 minutes lang.  After bayad ng $50 (visa) wait ka lang 3 to 5 days me bago ka ng lisensiya via snail mail.  Walang cucho-cucho o cheche buretche at mas lalong walang fixer.  Sana ganyan na din sa atin.

Tama si Paul ang Psychic Octopus, Ingit si Madam Auring

 

Sa big screen ng Marriott Hotel kami manonood ng laban ng Spain vs. Netherlands kaso tinaghali ako ng gising tas disable pa ang Red Line from my place up to Harvard Square. 

 

Uy parang laban ni PacMan ang daming nanonood ng World Cup sa kalye.  Sarado ang Holyoke St.  Panay na ang tawag ni Bertha, nahihilo na daw siya sa gutom kaya kumain na siyang mag-isa sa Prudential.  Bilisan ko daw, ayan hindi tuloy ako nakakuha ng reaction shot.

 

By the time na nakarating ako sa Marriot eh standing room only na.  Ayaw ng magpapasok.  Batok ang inabot ko.  Rayku!  Ang laki ng kamay ni Bertha.  Lipat na lang tayo sa Downtown.  Hirit ko naman.


Pagdating namin sa Downtown eh tapos na ang boksing este World Cup pala.  Uwian na, nanalo daw ang Spain.
