Lowest temperature here in Osaka today is 9C. I’m supposed to hold off using my heater until last week of November but I guess it’s already too much for me. So I’ve unpacked my small heater and now at least I’m comfortable. I can’t help but think of those homeless people roaming around Osaka. Some of them live in the banks of the Yodo River, some under the bridges. My Japanese friends told me that many homeless people die due to hypothermia. This lead me to thinking that being homeless in the Philippines might be more bearable than being homeless here in Japan. At least in the Philippines, you don’t have to battle with temperature.
It makes me feel sad seeing a native in this country not having a home while I, a foreigner, have a home. May it be their choice or not, whether it’s their fault or not, in Japan, in the Philippines, or anywhere, it just makes me so sad seeing people having a harder time in life.

Have you heard of mesothelioma before? I haven’t until recently. It is a form of cancer that is almost caused by previous exposure to asbestos. I won’t go into detail on this one, but it mostly affects the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall.
Asbestos have been widely used in the industries and construction projects. But for health and safety reasons, this has been banned in many developed countries, but are still used widely in some developing countries. I have no idea if this has been banned in the Philippines or not. I was even more surprised to find out that a form of asbestos had been found in eight major brands of children’s crayons! I guess we have more to watch out for aside from melamine, huh? I wonder if we could ever use something that is 100% safe…
