The AFC final: Beware of dogs

Everyone at home is happy the Azkals didn’t only bark in Rangoon, they also showed their teeth and proved they could bite.

 I heard many kick in disgust when the Azkals kept on drawing their games. Kicking is not supposed to be the fans’ business but that of the Azkals who proved it by kicking the Bangladeshis out of the cut.

 I don’t like what I heard on radio: That the Azkals are a European team with some Pinoys helping. Although I seem to agree.

 A 92-year-old woman in Florida fired her gun at the house of a young man who refused to kiss her. I asked a 20-year-old man in our neighborhood if he would kiss a 92-year-old woman and his reply was: “Wa kay laing question diha?”

 Guv Gwen Garcia visited Cebu City Hall recently. Someone asked: “Has Hizzoner asked permission from Tomas to allow Gwen to make the visit?”

 No more cutting down of the so-called “heritage trees.” The ban came too late. Too bad. The shady mango trees that lined the sides of Mango avenue are gone.

 Those mango trees — planted by then Mayor Fructouso Ramos — have all been cut down. But Mango avenue remains Mango avenue to many city residents including some taxi drivers who don’t know where Gen. Maxilom avenue is.

 I remember during my boyhood I used to spend some afternoons biking down Mango avenue, then made cool even on hot days by the mango trees lining the streetsides up to Fuente Osmeña.

 Sen. Loren Legarda is giving away P20-whistles that can be used as early warning device against tsunamis and storms.OK, let’s all be the whistle-blowers for our own good.

 I recall a story in a US newspaper. It’s about a street in one of the small towns in America where every member of the families living there had a whistle. When there was a burglary in one house the members would whistle and the neighbors would respond, scaring the burglars away.
