Dear mouse,

A Japanese government official believes that UFO exists.

According to him, they started UFO investigation because of “incessant” reports of sightings.
An order was made for visual confirmation. None of the sightings were confirmed. After the investigation, he did not tell exactly that there is no UFO. All what he said in the document was that Japan has not yet planned what to do should aliens arrive here.

The sightings in UK also led to an investigation by a Team, the report of which was submitted to Lord Strabolgi, then government chief whip, for a debate on UFOs in the House of Lords in January 1979.

The report says “there is nothing to indicate that UFOlogy is anything but claptrap” and that the idea of an “inter-governmental conspiracy of silence” was “the most astonishing and the most flattering claim of all”.

At the end of the briefing, it says: “Let me assure this House that Her Majesty’s government has never been approached by people from outer space.”

The latest news is about a Vatican astronomer who said that it is possible for Christians to believe in extra-terrestial.

Dear mouse,
After I watched the interview of Diane Sawyer with Jill Price, the woman who could not forget, I also tried remembering things in my past.

Jill Price is the author of the book, THE WOMAN WHO NEVER FORGETS where she wrote that her ability to retain past memories is more of a curse than a gift.

Eight years ago, she approached memory specialists to make a study about her case.
The medical study points to Price’s brain size which was three times the size of those in other women her age. In 2006, the UC-Irvine team published a research paper about Price, proposing a new medical condition for her called hyperthymestic syndrome, meaning that she has a superior memory. So the researchers attributed Jill’s superior memory retention to her mind’s capacity as in computer’s gigabytes of memory?

Jill Price’s gift is only limited to her life and events. She could not memorize poems or other stuff which could have made her a genius, a walking encyclopedia.

A research conducted on Caucasians and African-Americans in 2007 found that there’s a genetic reason why some have the gift or curse to recall commonplace emotional memories.

Victoroff , a USC professor of clinical neurology said that the people should be able to separate the really important memories from the forgettable ones. Those who can’t would likely die young. Maybe due to depression?

Several blogs ago, I posted the question why some people’s wounds do not heal in the passage of time. This is the answer. People do not have the same specific chemicals in the brain that preserve “images” resulting in enhanced emotional memory.

Jill’s revelations encouraged other people to come forward and relate their own experience in memory retention.

I did the same to find out if I also have a hint of this newly found disorder which is a variant of obsessive-compulsive’s collecting and hoarding behavior. Instead of stuff, it is the memories which are collected and hoarded. Arghh.

The other week, I was reminded of the receptionist in the Physical Therapy of the co-pay which I thought I had handed to her. So I reached for my wallet. I could not find it in my jacket’s pocket. I was alarmed. Then the receptionist pointed to me that it was in my right hand. HAHAHAHA.

Dear mouse,

What the highly sophisticated earthquake radars and testing centers both in the US and China failed to detect was ominously forewarned by the animals.

This photo was forwarded to me by Bayi.

On May 5th, many Chinese locals noticed thousands of frogs on the move. They were seen traveling without fear of traffic as they crossed streets in mass floods.

Many Chinese sensed the migration as a bad omen of a coming natural disaster, but the Chinese government dismissed it as nonsense. The people were told that they were just a natural migration of the animals.

On Monday, 12th of May, at about 2:45pm, central China region recorded a 7.8-magnitude quake which occured near Wenchuan County, Sichuan province, that killed nearly 10,000 people.

The Chinese Earthquake Test Centers were unable to even detect the earthquake before it happened. When they finally announced the earthquake had occured, it was 12 minutes after the disaster, and 2 minutes after the US had announced a large earthquake in China.

Dear mouse,
Cyclone victims in BURMA have no choice. They have to eat whatever are doled out to them regardless of the taste; good or bad; good or rotten; good or spoiled. They’re lucky if they can get any. Watch this video

Sense of taste
And I am whining that my food tastes bland.

Dear mouse,
We got five senses and I got six. Bwahaha. I can predict that DAVID is going to win in the American IDOL in the FINALE next week. Because the two finalists are both named DAVID, silly.

Sense of Sight
When I was in grade school, I thought wearing eyeglasses is cool. Young children tend to think that kids with glasses look smarter than kids who don’t wear glasses, that’s according to a new study.

Nothing was wrong with my eyes though at that time, except that I was suffering from nightblindness and a little colorblindness. So where did I get my glasses, if I did not have a prescription?

To be continued…

I remember I have an appointment with Dracula for my blood works. It is supposed to be tomorrow but it is Friday and the lab closes at 12. I got to make it fast because I am fasting. One more hour deprived of my morning meal and my meds, I will be shaking like one in the Dancing with the Stars. Ugh..
