Hello ! Renxkyoko Iglesias here ! ❤
Wow. My last post was Oct. 24. I know, I’m a lazy blogger. I’m suppose to post Part 3 of my fun vacation in the Philippines, but, I feel it’s gone stale already. It’s still okay, I guess.
Oh, wait…. remember my Cringe- worthy Forensic Science project ? I was told not to talk about it. Now you’re telling me. I just did. And I’m not going to delete that post. I mean, Forensic shows are all over cable, so there’s really nothing federal about it. Oh, and before I forget, we made 6 trials, and that means, we asked for 5 more of THAT. THAT is semen. I don’t have to act coy anymore. I’m past that. Here’s another jar, pal. And put it in the freezer immediately. * ponders* Actually, I’m sensitive and fragile so please take care of me.
The US Congress is planning to pass a law that will allow the government to get the DNA profiles of all Americans and store them at the DNA Data Base center. This way, it will be easier for law enforcement agencies to catch the criminals. That’s a good thing, right ? Wrong. Even Forensic Analysts do not agree. Criminals are smart now, especially those who commit premeditated murders. The bad guy can just pick up any cigarette butt or beer and soda cans, and plant them at the scene of crime. Even if the innocent guy has a solid alibi, he still has to explain the presence of his DNA at the scene.. Even if the prosecutor cannot find any motive, you can bet that the sun is up there the prosecutor will find one. The innocent is totally screwed. He’ll be looking at a life sentence without the possibilty of parole, or worse, death penalty. That’s what happens if all our DNA profiles are in the DataBase. Well, you know what they say… it’s preferable to free 100 guilty men over incarcerating one innocent man, or something like that. In fact, this happened already. The bad guy planted a random cigarette butt……. good thing the DNA profile found on the cigarette did not have a match at the National DNA DataBase.
Enough of chatting.
Here’s Part 3 of my fun vacation in the Philippines.
So, off we went to see Taal Volcano, the smallest volcano in the world.
.Can you see the volcano ? It’s right there in the middle of the picture. You can see the mouth of the volcano, right ? It was misty around the area of the volcano , even though the temperature was like, 100 F ( 38 C ), and very, very humid.
Facing the picture, the volcano ‘s to the right of me.
We went up there to have lunch at that restaurant in the photo, but it was closed for renovation. Good thing there was a Chinese restaurant nearby, with a nice view too.
.Photo below is the view from the restaurant .
The first thing that I ordered was real coconut juice, straight from the fruit. By the way, coconut is not a nut. It’s a fruit. Oh, my gosh, it tasted sooo good.
After drinking the juice, we scraped off the white meat with a spoon. Delicious.
This is all for now. Oh, before I forget, on my Part 2 Philippine post, there was this singer whose song was played over and over on our trip to Taal Volcano. Well, he was Rick Astley, and the songs were Never Give You Up and Together Forever.
And the owner of the car is a relative who is also a Prosecutor. That car plate was a souvenir given during a Prosecutors’ Conference held a month ago before I took that picture. She said she wasn’t supposed to make that a permanent fixture 😮 It’s dangerous. I talked about her on my Part 2 Philippine post. She received death threats a few years ago.
She’s okay now. The bad guys are in jail. Still….. announcing you’re a Prosecutor is a bad idea. Try doing that in Mexico, and see what happens.
Oh, well, what do I know .
This is all for now, and thank you for reading. PEACE !
