The man who owned the Philippines: Mahal Kong Guro (My Beloved Teacher)

Post a Comment

This is a really touching story. It sounds like it is told in first person and is a telling of a true incident that happened to the author. I never realized there were so many problems in the Philippines. I knew that it is very difficult to find work there. That is one reason so many Philippine women leave their country to go and be nannies for other people across the world.

These women then send money home to their husband and children. What a hard life. I can hardly even imagine! This story is told by someone who has left the Philippines and lives and works in Saudi Arabia. From there he blogs about his home country on this blog so that he can somehow effect some change.

The X Factor - Home

Media_httpimages2itvc_apisi

X Factor UK is sooooo much fun to watch. The bands this year are amazing, and there are a couple of solo artists that are fantastic as well.

I can't choose a favorite, but there are a couple that I really love. It is so much fun to watch the banter between the judges, and Louis is definitely the anchor of the show.

I am following both X Factor USA and X Factor UK this year. Not that I have the time, but I just catch the highlights on YOUTUBE after they have aired. That gives me the best part without having to waste my time watching commercials.

If I could only watch one or the other, this year I would probably pick X Factor UK because some of the contestants are sooooo unusual. I want to see what happens.

I am sad for the girls on X Factor US because Simon Cowell's judging partner, Mariah Carey could not come because of hurricane warnings in her area. I think he is just going to be brutal, and I think that it is his least favorite category to mentor.

Physicists localize 3-D matter waves for first time

Media_httpwwwscienced_hcbln

Now this is Very interesting indeed! A theory referred to as Anderson localization. You have to really think about it. Can barriers that reflect sound waves result in the sound staying at its source, resulting in perfect silence? Because it never moves outward due to the destructive interference, it is considered as never having left the source.

It's a point that could be debated. Did the sound leave and then reflect back? Or never leave simply because no one ever heard it nor did technology detect it.

Hmmm. I will have to think about this one.
