rumble

Con la primera OVA de School Rumble San Gakki a la vuelta de la esquina [mañana se estrena en Japón], aparece la desalentadora noticia de que School Rumble en su versión manga, llegará pronto a su fin.

People sometimes get an idealistic idea about how it is to sail a yacht. True, I love sailing. I love the ocean, the freedom, even just the idea of moving on an endless sea merely pushed forward by wind and tides. But when I go sailing with the family, it is different. Up comes the endless feeling of responsibility. In our family of four, I am the only one who knows how to sail a yacht. Tine, my w

We are spending the first week of our holiday in Fregene, near Rome. Most of the beaches here are run as private beach clubs or 'stabilimenti'. Those few public beaches left are littered with trash, have little or no waste bins, no facilities and look like then are never cleaned up. Paper wraps, plastic bottles, cigarette butts, broken glass and a lonesome car tire decorate the public beach we wal

As I explained in a previous post, there is a secret, sarcastic streak in every sailor as he watches other yachtsmen maneuvering in a port or at a mooring...Back in 2004, we sailed in Greece. It was our first sailing holiday. I took all the precautions Tine, my wife, wanted me to take before she would step onto a yacht with me: I followed the RYA yachtmaster courses, did my practical test in the S

I live in Fregene, near Rome. The beach has reshaped drastically in the span of just two months:Mid May: The beach is still deserted. The weather still has not made up its mind, with rain storms coming and going:Early June: The weather picked up. The umbrellas are being installed, waiting for the crowds to come:Early July: Over 30°C, and everyone heads towards the beach:More posts on The Road abo

Two years ago, we moored at the Bitter End, in Virgin Gorda – British Virgin Islands. A nice anchorage in which we took one of the outer mooring buoys.Late one evening, we were sitting on the aft deck, having a drink, looking at the night sky, counting the shooting stars. It was new moon, so the sky was dark. Pitch dark… While watching the sky, suddenly, the corner of my eye caught some moveme

The principle of mooring, “fixing a yacht to a mooring buoy”, is pretty easy: A rope with a loop sticks out of a floating ball. The rope is connected to a chain anchored onto the sea bottom. The skipper approaches the mooring buoy against the wind while someone stands on the bow (the front end of a ship), to grab the loop with a boat hook (a long stick with a plastic hook on it). A rope is pul

Those of you who have been following this blog for a while, know I sail.I always wanted to sail, but never found the incentive to really get started.In 2003, during the Iraq crisis, I was based in Dubai. Work was madness, and we put in very long hours, from 8 am until 11-12 pm every day. We all needed some physical exercise, and discovered several of us were interested in sailing.So we took up Las

I have some catching up to do. It has been busy at work. Anyways, does not mean I have not been enjoying the things around me...In the past two weeks, I flew to home in Belgium for a weekend, flew to Budapest for a weekend, and just landed back in Belgium. On Monday we're flying to Rome with the family: the start of the summer holidays. We will be in Rome for a week, before flying off for a month

Yesterday evening, I was flying out of Brindisi, South Italy. After passing airport security, I found a group of people clustered around the window of the airport police's office. I thought something was wrong, and had a look..Inside the office, the police officers were watching the Italy-Romania soccer match, and a small crowd was following the match through the window, shouting and commenting as

PAKISTAN’S legal community is in a fighting mood, launching this week its “long march” to oust President Pervez Musharraf.China’s “long march” in the 1930s was a series of retreats from an advancing Kuomintang army. Then 1960s leftist radicals in the West launched a “long march through the institutions” by entering conservative establishments to change the institutions from within.

I flew to Brindisi again, this evening. Rome to Brindisi is served by Alitalia ("Always Late In Take-off, Always Late In Arrival") or AirOne ("Air-One, Baggage-Zero"). This evening, I was booked on AirOne (and no, I did not risk to check any baggage in, otherwise I had 75% chance to spend the next day speaking to the lady at the lost luggage counter).A bus was taking us from the terminal to the pl

My apartment is part of a several two story houses, clustered together. All apartments are on the first floor, and underneath, there are several small shops.As of 6:30 am, I hear Laura, my neighbour, opening the coffee bar downstairs.

As I was in Brindisi two weeks ago, I spent the weekend discovering Puglia, the South-Eastern tip of Italy, driving around the "heel of the Italian boot".This part of the country, filled with vineyards and olive tree farms is more or less left aside by international tourists, even tough it features an unspoiled nature, sand beaches as well a rocky coastline dotted with cliffs. While in the summer

Often, in weekends, I stroll along the port of Fiumicino near Rome, a base for the local fishermen. Today, there was something different: there was no activity by the fishing trawlers, they were on strike.Banners on the boat said in English (and strangely enough, also in Arabic): "High Fuel Prices Kill the Fishery", "High Fuel, On Strike" and "Fuel Prices Kill Us. Only Imported Fish Today."More po

Rumble - the word for today... How I arrived at 'rumble' for my word of today is a long story which would make up my very first blog entry. I did try my hand at blogging before, only to eventually get bored due to lack of enthusiasm (personally and from visitors). I guess that was because i used to write on the events that happened in my lobby which should have been censored, and so

Just to conclude this series about Venice, here are the last photo impressions I wanted to share:View the slideshow of all my Venice pictures.Check out other posts on the Road about Venice.

Many visitors to Italy will appreciate the food. Not the usual spaghetti or pizza, but the real Italian food: Italy excels in simple but real tasty food. I sell my soul for the sea food, prosciutto (raw ham), the cheeses,...Visiting Venice last weekend, reminded me that this town has its own traditions. Some of it, is embraced into Italian traditions, like tiramisu (which was 'born' in this region). Some say "gelato", Italian ice cream is better in Venice than anywhere else in Italy:.But the pastry shops, while not as abundant as those in Vienna, in the quality, taste and variety, are not to be found anywhere else in Italy: View the slideshow of all my Venice pictures.Check out other posts on the Road about Venice.

One more think many people think of, when talking about Venice: Venetian glass..!Venetian glass making tradition goes way back, but only got really known when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and destruction to the city’s mostly wood buildings, ordered glass makers to move their foundries to the island of Murano, in the Venetian archipelago in 1291. Murano's glass makers were soon the island’s most prominent citizens. By the 14th century, glass makers were allowed to wear swords, enjoyed immunity from prosecution by the Venetian state and found their daughters married into Venice’s most affluent families. The catch was that glass makers weren't allowed to leave the Republic.Murano’s glass makers held a monopoly on quality glass making for centuries, developing or refining many

What else do you think of when hearing "Venice"? Pumuckl commented in a previous post saying: "Carnival"!And she is right! The carnival of Venice was first recorded in 1268, and has been a long tradition since then. Strolling through the alleys of Venice, we came across many shops where they sold the typical Venetian masks, made in leather or with the original papier-mâché technique. The original masks were rather simple in design and decoration. They often had a symbolic and practical function. Nowadays, most of them are made with the application of gesso and gold leaf and are all hand-painted using natural feathers and gems to decorate.A photo impression:View the slideshow of all my Venice pictures.Check out other posts on the Road about Venice.

Ok, unraveling of the secret: we were in Venice last weekend. ;-)Matt, one of the readers of The Road, commented a while ago that my blog was listed in the "travel" category of one of the blog directories while it seems more like a political blog.I agree that lately I have been posting more news flashes (often with a bit of political cynism, I admit). But in essence, this blog is neither one or the other... I write about things that happen around me. Sometimes I am in a critical mood, sometimes I am involved in my daily (aid) work environment, and sometimes I am travelling. So the contents of the posts change as my life changes. ;-) The next few posts will be about travelling. Promise!So.. Venice... OK.. Here is a question for you.

Kim Kardashian (looking unusually hot) and her sister Khloe are currently down under scoping out Australian Fashion Week. But, just last week, the two came to blows over Kim's new Bentley. Aww, now that's relatable. Anyway, the fisticuffs showed up on the latest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (video after the jump). So, when I say these two rumbled, I mean, literally, the ground shook. Khloe is one solid woman. She could probably give Brooke Hogan a run for her money. Then afterwards they'd swap tips on shaving their testicles. BFFs with balls 4 life! Photos: www.pacificcoastnewsonline.com

Aunque no se sabe exactamente si sera OVA o serie, la información es muy ambigua, sin embargo la pagina oficial dice que como fecha tentativa del lanzamiento de School Rumble 3rd Term (3er periodo) es 17 de julio, realmente para los fan creo es mejor una serie, ya que asi se tendra mas tiempo para desarrollar la historia, y que tenga un final adecuado y no apresurado.

It would be hard to think of Italy without coffee. "Caffè" (with the accent on the last part and with the 'è' pronounced as in the English "head") is part of the national heritage, much like the Colosseum or Pisa's tower.Italy is home to a range of coffee drinks which took the rest of the world by storm. Without Italy, Starbucks or Second Cup probably would not exist.Without coffee, Italy would grind to a halt. A day can not start without coffee, and a good meal often ends with it. Many companies have their own inhouse coffee bar including waiters and all. So just to make sure you understand: The Italians do take their "Caffè" seriously.History:The coffee culture arrived from the Middle East via Istanbul to Venice, in the 1570's. Coffee would remain a luxury and mostly medicinal drink u

What is a typical Italian breakfast? People pass by a coffee shop on the road to work, and get a coffee and a cornetto (croissant). Not necessarily the healthiest of breakfasts, but it surely tastes good.More posts on the Road about Living in Italy.

Fregene-Italy (Breaking News): Winter is over!It is 10 am and I am sitting in shorts, T-shirt and sandals in the sun on the terrace of the coffee shop below my apartment. The sun stings and the sky is as blue as a sky can get. This is the moment many of us have been waiting for, after the moody weather we had in Italy in the past months. Gone are the memories of rain, wind and dark loaded clouds.And by coincidence (there are no coincidences in life), our favourite spot in Fregene, Singita on Miracle Beach, is opening after their winter break. What more proof does one need to have that winter is over!More posts on "the Road" about where I live at the moment: Fregene and Italy.Picture Singita courtesy Matteo Cocco

This is the view from the restaurant, where we had lunch yesterday. It lays right at the rocky beach in Brindisi, built at the end of the airport runway, next to the yacht harbour, and facing the sea. It stands by itself, just in the middle of nowhere... No frails, only sober tables and plastic chairs in a square room, with an overall Balkan's feel to it.

I am back in Brindisi for a few days. Stayed an extra day as I can think much clearer while not sitting in a crowded office in our Rome headquarters, allows me to take a distance and re-evaluate some of the stuff we work on...Despite the fact it is still pretty cold for the time of the year (and certainly at 7:30 in the morning), I had my morning coffee and cornetto outside, on a terrace. I was looking at the building in the picture.Nothing extraordinary. Just a building, out of the thousands in Brindisi, probably millions similar ones in Italy. Just a window, of just a house, in just a street, of just a town. And yet, that image, at that moment, grabbed me. I know, when that happens to me, it means something.. It is a sign on the road of life. I sat back, with my coffee and cornetto, at 7

I was working from home yesterday… Too crowded in the office. And it was such a nice day.. Worked from a table, facing the windows.And with a view like this, what could go wrong? No wonder I got much more work done than when I work from the office. The setting in which I work, defines my productivity.

Frida, a fellow blogger who previously worked in Afghanistan, Timor-Leste and Palestine, posted something recently that made me think.She wrote about the guilt she felt, living back home in New Zealand:All the people I've met in Afghanistan, Timor-Leste and Palestine whose lives continue to be insecure, poor and relentlessly harsh. All the people I worked with who are still there, working through the cold, dark winter to bring a little relief, to provide a little security. All the people I have never met but whose conflict and natural disaster afflicted worlds are more real to me some days than this fantasy land we live in here in New Zealand.I'm terrified of forgetting them. But how could I ever forget them? Seriously. It's impossible, right? But I've been so afraid of it that I've been c

Since I moved here last year, people ask me "So how is it to live in Italy"? This prompts me to a series of blogs I want to start, to describe live in this Mediterranean country.First let me start with the disclaimer: I love the culture, the climate, its people, its food, and the country. I love Italy. Punto. But it is a country 'with an edge', which makes it fun at times, frustrating in other times. So I might come across as critical (or cynical at times), do bear in mind: I loooove Italy.As the Italians will vote for parliament tomorrow, maybe we should start this blog series with Italian politics. I can summarize this topic in a oneliner: Italy had 61 governments since World War II. That is an average of about one government per year. That says it all.Critics say the current electoral l

A story from my friend Enrico, who works in Bor, South Sudan:I was leaving the UN compound heading to the office. The security guard who had just opened the gate for me, asked me for a lift into town since his shift was over. He hopped in.Even though the drive took just 10 minutes, but I felt obliged to keep a bit of a conversation going.Me: “Have you received any security training?”The guard: “Yes!”Me: “Can you give me an example?”The guard: “How to switch on the security lights”…Me: “What would you do if you saw a thief in our compound?”The guard: It’s like when you hunt a wild animal: stalking and attacking”Me: “What if he’s armed?”The guard: “I’m not allowed to use a gun myself, it’s against the rules, but I have the stick I use to kill the snakes

Vagabondblogger, a fellow blogger and regular visitor to The Road, "tagged" me.. The task given is to tell 10 random things about myself.Ok, I will take the challenge... Trying to define 10 things about me that I might not have explicitly covered on my blog:1/ The most important things in my life: Tine, Lana and Hannah, my three girls at home. And my closest friends. The circle of love around me.2/ My aspiration in life: To be able to take my grandchildren on my knee and say two things: "I tried to make a difference for the better in life of others" and "I lived life fully." Related to that, my biggest joy in life is to make a positive difference in someone's life. Professionally or personally.3/ Things I like the most in people: truthfulness, honesty (also to themselves), frankness, openn

I have an issue. I have an issue with people who are not honest, to others or to themselves. People who are not forthcoming with their true opinion, their true intensions. I have an issue with hidden agendas and hypocrisy.But in the end, I trust that ‘Good comes to those who do good, and bad comes to those who have mal-intensions’. Saw it too many times.Here is a story:We moved into our house in Belgium many years ago, just as the previous tenant was moving out. He worked as an assistant professor in the faculty of Biology, at a Belgian University. He was the second in command in the laboratory of Nature Conservation and Ecology. You would think he would give an example to others, being a nature conservist by profession.Less so. Before the guy moved out of the house, he dumped most of

A Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.So the Professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.The Professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."The Professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and po

Yesterday, we drove the 1000 km from South Tyrol back home. It took us 12 hours, instead of the usual 10. Loads of traffic but a scenery to be enjoyed. Even though it was pretty dark and gloomy, it gives a 'happy kick' driving through the mountains in the snow. It also gives me a knot in the throat driving through the Fernpass bordering Austria and Germany, knowing it will take one more year before you see the snow and the mountains of this part of the world again... And who knows what will happen in that year. This evening, I am flying back to Rome. Back to work.

Two days ago, we went up to Cortina, one hours drive from our hotel. The scenery and ski slopes were great, but it was windy and bloody cold, as you can see from the pictures:The family:Tine and Lana on the lift:Hannah on the lift:Is there anything else but pride a father can feel when seeing his daughters growing up, and becoming independent, adventurous, happy? Here are our two girls trying to jump higher than dad... :-)

Remember the local legend of King Laurin and his rose garden I posted last year? Well, today we went skiing very close to those mountains. We did a tour around the Sella mountain where connecting ski lifts and slopes form a circuit called the "Sellaronda". The weather was perfect, the skiing was just great. It took us just over five hours to finish the Sellaronda, including a one hour lunch.
