Queen Raquel Welch Is Dead. Long Live The Queen!

-

She died Wednesday, 15 Feb 2023; American actress, model & star Raquel Welch was 82. Filipino writer, I am 82, thank God! For her acting, she received a “Golden Globe” award in 1974 (at age 34); for my writing, I received the one-and-only historical “Outstanding Alumnus For Creative Writing” award from the UP Los Baños Alumni Association in 2011 (at age 71) – no other UP System alumnus recipient before or after. Raquel was dedicated to her art cultivating audiences in movies and on stage; Frank is dedicated to his art of cultivating soils in minds and on grounds – and now The Twain Shall Meet!

She was a Virgo, born Thursday, Sept 5; I am a Virgo, born Tuesday, Sept 17 – we were born in the same year: 1940. I am writing about Raquel Welch because of her love for her art: acting. I am writing about farmers because of my love for my art: journalism, and my field: Agriculture. Both arts are self-proclaimed.

She did not capitalize on her sex appeal with pictures; me, I would rather capitalize on my text appeal with pictures!

Above, lower image, about the anime is written: “Farming Life In Another World Teaser Visual Has Tia, Ru And Hiraku Enjoying The Abundant Farm” (26 Aug 2022, Leo Sigh, leosigh.com), and Michelle Topham writes:

The new “Farming Life In Another World” teaser visual features the beautiful angel Tia holding a bowl of freshly grown tomatoes in the foreground, while the cute blood-sucking vampire Ru Rurushi rushes down the orchard pathway towards protagonist, and master farmer, Hiraku Machio.

Hiraku’s beautifully abundant farmland stretches out around them.

In our real world, the blood-sucking vampire is called “Climate Change” and we need more master farmers like Hiraku Machio. What can we learn from Machio? Much! I can’t find the name of the writer, but s/he says:

After Hiraku dies of a serious illness, God brings him back to life, gives his health and youth back, and sends him to a fantasy world of his choice. In order to enjoy his second shot [at life], God bestows upon him the almighty farming tool!

All he can rely on is the knowledge he gained in his previous life and the power of the "universal farming tools" given to him by God. Even so, through trial and error, he is able to carve out his own land. Vampires, elves, angels, and even dragons gather around him, and his place of residence eventually develops into a village.

The “almighty farming tool” is not explained, but since it is given by God, I can only interpret it to be Organic Agriculture! Look at the lower image again, at the freshly grown tomatoes from a “beautifully abundant farmland.”

Above image: The 1966 British adventure fantasy “One Million Years B.C.” (Don Chaffey, Director) was “set in a fictional age of cavemen and dinosaurs coexisting together” (Wikipedia). In our world today, we cannot coexist with modern dinosaurs given birth to by Climate Change – we must conquer them with the almighty farming tool called Organic Agriculture!@517

What We Are Witness Of Is All Unlove – Where Is The Love?”

Just browsing Facebook posts and sharings, you will note insistent & persistent efforts from many sources inviting people to join their churches other than Roman Catholic – that is to say, they are the true church and not the Catholic Church. Today, as a Catholic, I ask, “Where is the love?”  (“Where Is The Love?” image from pxleyes.com ) We humans need the loving, not the dividing. “Love is the Only Path To Christian Unity, Pope Says” ( Cindy Wooden, 26 Jan 2024, ncronline.org ). L’Osservatore Romano says Pope Francis says ( osservatoreromano.va ): Jesus can thus conclude that the right question is not: “Who is my neighbor?” but “Do I act like a neighbor?” Only a love that becomes gratuitous service, only the love that Jesus taught and embodied, will bring separated Christians closer to one another. Only that love, which does not appeal to the past in order to remain aloof or to point a finger, only that love which in God’s name puts our brothers and sisters before the iron

To Celebrate People Power Revolution, I Am Calling For A Media Power Revolution Starting Now!

February 1986. We were watching TV and listening to the still-bravely-broadcasting single radio station. The Philippines’ historic 4-day “EDSA People Power Revolution” in Manila happened 22-25 February 1986. Me, I wasn’t there on EDSA in the first few days because of fear for my life, but on Friday, 24 Feb, listening to the radio I thought that FM’s soldiers were winning – and so I conquered my fear and joined the throng of people walking EDSA. I walked from Guadalupe Bridge to the gate of Camp Crame . When helicopters hovered over the building near the gate, I thought they had come to bombard Crame to kingdom come. No. Yes, they were sympathizers of the leaders of the rebel soldiers: Fidel Ramos and Juan Ponce Enrile .  (“Anniversary EDSA” from bing.com ) I then walked to Channel 4 of the government’s TV station, already captured by EDSA people. I don’t remember what the fellow being interviewed said, but I was happy. When I got out of Channel 4 and returned to the gate of Camp Cra

I’m 83, a happy blogger among other things, and why should I now be learning “8 Life Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier” from Brian McEntee, an animation and Art Director known for Ice Age (2002), The Brave Little Toaster (1987, and Beauty And The Beast (1991) (IMDb, imdb.com ), published 24 Jan 2024, source quitandconquer.com )? The list is shared by Ramon Rivera on Facebook (image of “Life Lessons” from bing.com ). And yes, I can identify with all 8! Brian McEntee is an animation art director; here is his list ( Quit & Conquer , quitandconquer.com/ ): 1. Time is your most valuable asset. 2. It’s okay to fail and make mistakes. 3. No one is coming to save you. 4. What you aren’t doing is just as important as you what you are doing. 5. Spend time thinking about what you want your life to look like. 6. If you don’t know what to do, pick something and adjust your plans as you go. 7. Don’t compare yourself to others, compare yourself today to who you were yesterday. 8. D
