Maligayang Halloween

Nang maaraw na kaunting maulap na hapon nang Araw ng Halloween ng 2023, lakad ako papuntang Isla Lulung pizzeria. Naroon ang mga Taga-Indiyang tinderong si Bal, si Sachet, at si Simar. Naroon din ang may-aring si Tharsan, yaong may lahing Taga-Sri Lanka pero pinanganak dito sa Hilagang Amerika. Nagkokolang pangdiyeta ako habang hawak ang Kastilang librong Crónicas de Majipur ni Robert Silverberg. Habang nagwawalis si Bal, kinausap ko siya: "Sikh ka ba, o Hindu?" tanong ko. "Sikh, pero hindi ako nagtuturban, pero may turban ang tatay ko," 'ika niya. "Modernong Sikh ka! Nandito ba ang tatay mo?" tanong ko. "Nasa Indiya," sagot niya. Nagbatian kaming lahat doon nang "Maligayang Halloween!" May dumalaw na puting may buhok na itim na may dalang malaking iskuter. Nang nagpipizza siya sa sulok, sabi niya, "Parang ibang bansa ang bahay mo..." Nakatseker na kamiseta siyang pula at itim. May dumalaw na isang lalaking parating malambing sa akin. Puti siya. May lolong Intsik na nagpipizza habang nagbabasa ng Tsinong diyaryo. Pag-labas ko, tumawid ako nang pruteriya. May Tsinong tinderong may sabing "Isip nilang masyadong mahaba ang buhay nila!" He he!

Kabute para sa Halloween II

Sa madaling araw nang ika-31 ng Oktubre ng 2023, nag-almusal ako ng niluto kong mga kabute. Halloween na. Mag-isa ako sa silid-kainan. Madilim sa labas. May ilang mga batang nagpapaputok nang kaunti na. Naririnig ko. Sa ibang tema, iniisip ko ang "Kāma" sa Hinduismo, yaong sensuwalidad at pagnanais. Singkretista ako. Sa maulap na malamig pero maaraw na umaga, lakad ako papuntang malaking tindahan para bumili ng Drāno Max Gel para sa lababo ko sa banyo. Sa pizzeria, maagang nagbukas si Bal, yaong Taga-Indiyang tinderong may mga tato sa braso, dahil Halloween ngayon. Sa isang sulok na mesa, naroong nagpipizza si Michael na mestisong Tsino-Ingles. Nagbabasa ako ng Kastilang librong Crónicas de Majipur ni Robert Silverberg, habang nagkokolang pangdiyeta ako sa isang mesa sa ibang sulok. Pag-uwi ko, binati ako ni Al at ni Rochelle, yaong pula ang buhok, na naninigarilyo sa harap ng tahanan nila. Nitong mga araw, sa Web, marami akong nakitang mga litrato at bidyo tungkol sa mga dekorasyon, pagkain, at pistang antisipasyon ng Día de los Muertos sa una at ika-2 ng Nobyembre sa Mehiko.

Kabute para sa Halloween

Nang mga 13:00 nang ika-30 ng Oktubre ng 2023, malamig pero maaraw sa labas, at naglakad ako papuntang pizzeria. Naroon ang mga Taga-Indiyang tinderong si Sachet at isa pang bago. Nagkokolang pangdiyeta ako habang nagbabasa ng Kastilang librong Crónicas de Majipur ni Robert Silverberg, sa sulok na mesa. May dumalaw na maraming binata at dalaga galing sa hayskul. Lahat sila ay may suot na kulay-abo at itim. May ilang talagang malusog sa kanila. Nagpipizza sila. Mamaya pa, nasa tabing Asyanong pruteriya ako para bumili ng isang kayumangging sako ng anim na puting kabute. Lulutuin ko bukas sa solitaryong selebrasyon ko ng Halloween.

Halloween Na Bukas

Nang huli nang maaraw at malamig na umaga nang ika-30 ng Oktubre ng 2023, nasa pizzeria naman ako. Naroon ang may-aring si Tharsan, yaong may lahing Taga-Sri Lanka pero pinanganak dito sa Hilagang Amerika. Naroon din ang mga Taga-Indiyang tinderong si Sachet at si Bal. Nagkokolang pangdiyeta ako, at may pirasong pestong pizza ako. Pag-uwi ko, nakita ko sa daan muli ang isang guwapong lalaking mukhang Brasilyanong Latinong palaging nakasyorts. Sa ibang tema, mas tama sa aking Singkretista ako. Iba-ibang klaseng espiritwalidad ang impluwensiya sa akin, at siyempreng may siyensiya. Halloween na bukas!

Anito-Ekstraterestre

Nang maaraw pero malamig na umaga nang ika-30 ng Oktubre ng 2023, lakad ako papuntang Istarbak. Doon, nagtsatsaang itim na may yelo ako habang nagbabasa ng Kastilang librong Crónicas de Majipur ni Robert Silverberg. Sa ibang mesa, may Tsinong nakaahit ang ulong nagla-laptop. Pag-uwi ko, nakita ko sa daan si Michael na Danes-Pranses. Namasyal kaming pareho sa pook para makita namin ang mga mahiwagang ilaw-ilaw na nasa mga gusali at bahay. Naging espiritwalidad na ni Michael na ekstraterestre raw ang gawa noon. Sabi kong hindi kapwa eksklusibo ang anito at ang ekstraterestre.

Lukban

Nang maaraw pero malamig nang ika-29 ng Oktubre ng 2023, naglakad akong ilang beses: isa sa Istarbak, at tatlo sa pizzeria. Parating dala ko ang Kastilang librong Crónicas de Majipur ni Robert Silverberg sa bolsa ng berdeng mukhang militar na taglamig na dyaket ko. Sa pizzeria, may bagong tinderong Taga-Punjab na si Sokman, yaong kasama ng Pilipinang tinderang si Rose doon. Sa hapon doon, may dumalaw na pamilyang Arabeng may kasamang guwapong malusog na batang lalaki. Dumalaw naman ang mag-asawang Taga-Iloilo, yaong si Leo at si Cathy. Mga anim na buwan lamang sila rito sa Isla Lulu mula sa Pilipinas. Bago pa sa kanila ang niyebe. Nagpipizza sila roon. Paglabas ko, sa tabi ng pruteriya, may matangkad na Tsinong may dalawang malaking lukban sa plastikong sako. Pag-uwi ko, sa daan, binati ako ni Al at ni Rochelle, yaong pula ang buhok. Naninigarilyo sila sa harap ng kanilang tahanan. Nitong mga araw, iniisip ni Michael na Danes-Pranses ang mga mahiwagang ilaw-ilaw sa pook na sa kanya ay ebidensiya ng ekstraterestre. May mga litrato siya sa ismartpon niya. Nitong mga araw, nagkukumbersasyon ako sa ChatGPT ng OpenAI, yaong artipisyal na intelihensiya. Hindi lamang Ingles ang alam ng makina, pero Kastila, Tagalog, Hapones, Lojban, Pranses, Esperanto, Interlingua, at iba pa sigurado. Magaling at mabilis talaga!

Blood Color

20231023

What blood of other animals is not red?

ChatGPT:

Several animals have blood that is not red due to the use of different oxygen-carrying molecules or pigments. Some examples include:

1. **Blue Blood (Hemocyanin):** In addition to octopuses, many other marine invertebrates, such as lobsters, crabs, and some mollusks, have blue blood. Hemocyanin, which contains copper, gives their blood a blue color when oxygenated.

2. **Green Blood (Chlorocruorin):** Certain annelid worms, such as certain species of polychaetes, have green blood. Their blood contains a green-colored pigment called chlorocruorin, which contains iron and is used to transport oxygen.

3. **Violet Blood (Vanabins):** Some species of sea squirts, or tunicates, have violet blood due to a group of vanadium-based proteins called vanabins. These proteins are used to transport oxygen and give their blood a violet color when oxygenated.

4. **Clear or Yellowish Blood (Hemerythrin):** Hemerythrin is a non-iron-based oxygen-carrying protein found in some marine invertebrates, like certain marine worms and brachiopods. It can give their blood a clear or yellowish appearance when oxygenated.

These variations in blood color are adaptations to different environments and have evolved to efficiently transport oxygen in various species. They highlight the diversity of life on Earth and the ways in which organisms have evolved unique solutions to biological challenges.

Like Salmon Run

20231023

Viktor:

Create an afterlife scenario akin to the salmon run upriver, whilst incorporating outer space.

ChatGPT:

In this unique afterlife scenario, individuals transition into the "Cosmic Salmon Journey."

1. **Departure from Earth:** When a person passes away, their consciousness departs from Earth and embarks on a celestial journey. They leave the physical realm behind and enter the vast expanse of outer space.

2. **Cosmic River of Consciousness:** In the cosmic realm, souls encounter a metaphorical "Cosmic River of Consciousness." This ethereal river represents the flow of all life and experience in the universe.

3. **Guided by Cosmic Salmon:** Souls in this afterlife are not alone. They are joined by ethereal entities known as "Cosmic Salmon." These benevolent beings guide and assist the souls as they navigate the cosmic river.

4. **Journey Upstream:** Just like salmon swimming upstream to their spawning grounds, souls journey upstream against the cosmic current. This journey represents the soul's quest for higher understanding, wisdom, and enlightenment.

5. **Challenges and Reflection:** Along the way, souls face cosmic challenges and obstacles that require introspection, learning, and growth. These challenges serve as opportunities for the soul to evolve and gain insight.

6. **Astral Form:** In the Cosmic Salmon Journey, souls exist in an astral or energetic form, free from the limitations of a physical body. They can communicate with other souls and the Cosmic Salmon through thought and energy.

7. **Reintegration with the Cosmic Source:** As souls continue their upstream journey, they gradually become one with the cosmic river, symbolizing their reintegration with the universal source of consciousness.

8. **Enlightenment and Choice:** Souls reach the "Cosmic Spawning Grounds," a realm of profound enlightenment and unity. At this point, they have the choice to return to the physical realm with newfound wisdom or remain in the cosmic realm to guide and assist other souls on their journey.

9. **Infinite Cosmic Cycle:** The Cosmic Salmon Journey is a continuous cycle. Souls can choose to re-enter the physical world or remain in the cosmic realm, contributing to the greater understanding and evolution of the universe.

This afterlife scenario combines the metaphor of the salmon's upstream journey with the vastness of outer space, emphasizing personal growth, learning, and the quest for universal understanding. It is a cycle of continuous exploration, evolution, and enlightenment, where each soul contributes to the cosmic tapestry of existence.

Viktor:

Incorporate planet Jupiter as the Source into the afterlife scenario.  Rewrite the afterlife scenario.

ChatGPT:

In this afterlife scenario, individuals transition into the "Jovian Journey of Cosmic Renewal."

1. **Departure from Earth:** When a person passes away, their consciousness departs from Earth and embarks on a celestial journey. They leave the physical realm behind and enter the vast expanse of outer space.

2. **Jovian Path of Consciousness:** In the cosmic realm, souls encounter the "Jovian Path of Consciousness," a radiant, winding trail of energy that leads them toward the colossal gas giant, Jupiter.

3. **Guided by Cosmic Companions:** Souls in this afterlife are joined by ethereal beings known as "Cosmic Companions." These benevolent entities guide and support the souls as they journey along the Jovian Path.

4. **Planetary Rejuvenation:** Souls on the Jovian Journey seek to reach Jupiter, which represents the Source of cosmic wisdom and renewal. The gas giant embodies the universal wellspring of knowledge and spiritual growth.

5. **Challenges and Cosmic Reflection:** Along the Jovian Path, souls encounter celestial challenges and enigmatic phenomena that prompt deep introspection, learning, and personal growth. These experiences are designed to elevate the soul's understanding.

6. **Astral Form:** In this realm, souls exist in an astral or energetic form, free from the constraints of a physical body. Communication occurs through thought and energy, fostering deep connections among souls and Cosmic Companions.

7. **Reunion with Jupiter:** As souls approach Jupiter, they are enveloped by its radiant presence. Here, they achieve a profound reunion with the planet, symbolizing their reconnection with the universal Source.

8. **Cosmic Renewal and Choice:** Souls immersed in the radiance of Jupiter experience a cosmic renewal of their essence. They gain profound wisdom and insight. At this point, they have the choice to return to the physical realm with their newfound knowledge or to remain in the celestial embrace of Jupiter, assisting other souls on their journey.

9. **Infinite Jovian Cycle:** The Jovian Journey of Cosmic Renewal is an eternal cycle. Souls can opt to re-enter the physical world or continue to dwell in the celestial realm, contributing to the enlightenment and revitalization of the cosmos.

This afterlife scenario integrates the concept of planet Jupiter as the Source of cosmic wisdom and renewal. The Jovian Journey emphasizes personal growth, enlightenment, and the quest for universal understanding as souls continually contribute to the cosmic tapestry of existence.

Griyegong Marinara

Sa maulap na hapon nang ika-23 ng Oktubre ng 2023, lakad ako papuntang pizzeria. Sa daan, sa tabi ng serbeseriya, may lalaking nakadyaket na madilaw na berde. Sa pizzeria, naroon pa ang Taga-Indiyang tinderong si Sachet, at may kasama siyang marunong din ng Hindi. Umiinom ako ng kolang pangdiyeta. Kumakain ako ng pastang Griyegong marinara. Kaunti lamang ang mga kostumer nitong Lunes. Sa tabi ng gasolinahan, may matangkad na guwapong naglalakad. Sa bahay, ginagamit ko ang kumbersasyon sa ChatGPT ng OpenAI, yaong artipisyal na intelihensiya. Malapit na ang Halloween!
