While searching for Filipinos in Brussels, I stumbled upon the information that Rizal stayed in Brussels in 1890 and that it was in Brussels where Rizal wrote the El Fili.

Based on correspondences made by Rizal, his letters came from the address “38 Rue Philippe de Champagne, Brussels”. This is supposedly the boarding house where Rizal stayed, which was owned by the Jacoby sisters

“THE MAKING OF A PRESIDENT – 1ST of a Series”
By: Rosauro M. Angeles

http://www.buddyandmind.com/blogs/5/88/the-making-of-a-president-1st-of-a-series

Most ardent faith believers declared that becoming president of a certain country is a God given destiny.
Further, believers without hesitance will say that things are happening in accordance with His will and that If He wills things to happen, it will happen”.
Does being re-elected as a president also a God given destiny?
Does God meddle with the affairs of the people particularly in choosing who will and who will not become president of a certain country? Does He meddle on whom shall you marry? Does God meddle on what career you will pursue and how you will pursue your career?
I will not argue to the above contention or to any contention contrary to the above. What I would just say is that around the world, all day and in all hours or seconds, there are good things and bad things that are happening.
Good deeds like providing livelihood programs to poor communities or philanthropist allocating substantial funds for the eradications of some dreaded diseases. Bad deeds like the brutal killings of innocent children and helpless people who were caught during arm conflicts or the taking place of rapes of children and grandmother by people who were under the influence of drugs.
Now and then there are unimaginable calamities like earthquakes, tsunamis and fires that are taking place.
Hence, are we going to say that only good things are the wills of God, whereas, bad things are the wills of Evils?
What I would say is that God is witnessing what is happening around the world and those good things happening pleases Him and bad things happening displeases or saddened Him.
Again, I may ask. Does God meddle with the affairs of the people particularly in choosing who they shall vote to become their president?
The next series of articles will show a profiling of some presidents and rulers who have caught the attention of the world or their people. Some characterize a simple ascent to power. Others make use of complex set of preparations on how they became a president or how they extended their terms of office and or their plans on how to go about their re-elections.
The Making of a President – 2nd Series will feature President Barack Hussein Obama II, the earliest bird to announce his intention to run for re-election come US 2012 National Election.

Documentary about a London Bus Driver who goes to Manila in the Philippines to experience what it is like to live and work as a Jeepney driver in Manila.

This is an hour show, but quite interesting about the lives of some of our fellow Filipinos.

Around the 45:20 mark, you’ll see a part about “Pagpag” or scraps of food collected from garbage. People collect them, was them and cook them again and sold in their Carinderia.

2012 The End?

Comet Elenin has arrived and is heading towards earth. It has aligned twice with earth and the sun and on each occasion coincided with one of the most powerful earthquakes in history shifting the earth’s axis 8 cm the first time and 25 cm the second. It will pass between earth and the sun later this year. Is it a comet? or a brown dwarf?

Climate Change is an international issue where every nation is a stakeholder. International cooperation is needed to face the creeping effect of climate change. Recognizing this, several international agreements and mechanisms have been put into place.

A Convention

In 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or UNFCCC was produced after the Earth Summit. The UNFCCC is a treaty with the main objective of stabilizing man-made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at levels that it does not interfere with the climate. It states a “common but differentiated responsibilities” based on their “specific national and regional development priorities, objectives and circumstances”.

The treaty does not set target nor limits to greenhouse emissions for countries. It does require certain countries to provide financial aid and transfer of technologies to developing countries and those more vulnerable with the threat of climate change. It also, however, does not specify the amount nor the mechanism to how this aid shall take effect.

If you haven’t heard of Jordan McCabe, you’ll probably hear a lot more of him in the coming years.

Jordan McCabe is a 12 year old basketball wonder. He has some mad ball handling skills that reminds me a lot of Pete Maravich. Check out his performance at the University of Washington Halftime show on December 6, 2010.
