Unusual Words and their Meaning

I have too many topic to discuss especially when all I can hear and read from the news are so boring and most of all redundant. Pauli-ulit. Nakakasawa na.Sa tutuo lang type na type kong magsulat kaya naman yung journal ko punong- puno na. So heto let us start with words na I could only imagine. I mean as a matter of fact is not imagined by me but rather I heard it from another person. Here are the words, unusual words such as: Kawasaki and Pompeii. I know that the word kawasaki was a Japanese word. It is the brand name of famous Jap motorcycle. While Pompeii is a place in Italy. Once a rich small village somewhere in Italy, where famous artisans used to trade their arts and crafts. It was a village rich in cultural heritage until one day the whole village was ravaged by earthquake and volcanic eruption caused by Pompeii's active volcano. The whole town and city was buried in hot lava and only few inhabitants were able to escape.

Now what these two words have something to do with my topic? Those 2 words are then now popular for its another definition and meaning for some "doctors." Kawasaki and Pompeii is now known as illness hard to cure. The word "kawasaki" probably originated from two distinctive words: kawa=wok and "saki" = rice wine. What could be that illness caused by kawasaki for until now I am petrofied. Could it be the ailment caused by excessive talking or "motormouth?" Hmm, or simply autistic in nature. Who knows eh? Do you have kawasaki disease? If you don't have it you probably have "minamata disease instead." Okay I leave it up to you to find out. On the other hand Pompeii illness is derived probably from those who had some sort of malady, debilitating disease, numbness of extremities that they need to be on a wheelchair for they are unable to move without help from other form of device. It could the same ailment that Roosevelt got during the pre-war era and had the cure or part cure of his illness through the hot spring as mentioned in the old book. A frequent visitor at Vancouver island where he usually had a hot spring bath. Hot spring in VI? Is there a hot spring in the island? Probably in Terrace, BC. Oh that is so weird isn't it? Maybe a hot tub or whirlpool bath would do anybody a favor rather than  finding that hot spring of miracle. Beach yeah. Miracle beach but no hot spring.
