I think every Filipino worth his salt should find time to watch ABS-CBN’s recent documentary regarding the Ninoy assasination, (It is now uploaded on youtube) as well as read Fe Zamora’s seven-part report on the same topic.

I also found Ken Kashiwahara’s account on the final moments of Ninoy in the New York Times. Kashiwahara is Ninoy’s brother in law and was with him on the plane before Ninoy was gunned down in the tarmac.

Please also read Sir Luis Teodoro’s recent column, “Heroes.”

Revolutions are after all waged by the millions — and heroes made by vast constituencies: by the nameless men and women who, confronting police batons, tear gas, water cannon, and even guns, create and imbue leaders with the courage, the sense of community and the single-minded purpose that enable them to be the faces and voices of protest and change. To our sorrow ours does not seem to be a heroic age; and we do not have — we have actually lost — the constituencies that once made heroes of ordinary and flawed mortals.

This is pretty functional.

Ilang tips mula sa isang Japanese Girl para sa mga naglalayong maka-date ng Japanese Girls.

Fukuda as Nobita

While I was searching the net for articles regarding the recent resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, I’ve come across this.

The writer of the post hoped that the similarities ended with the facial attributes and the similar sound of “Nobita” and “Fukuda” when read in Chinese as Nobita is

the biggest loser of all anime history. Nobita is clumsy, crys a lot, gets zeros on all his tests, sucks at all sports, and always gets bullied by Jyian and Suneo. He is the boy that Doraemon helps A LOT. He is the one that messes up everything that Doraemon gives him. Now that I think of it, Doraemon is pretty stupid to give him all the gadgets. Without the help of Doraemon, he would probably be dead right now.

After Fukuda exited government with under a year in office (following Shinzo Abe who resigned with only a year in office) in a record-low approval rating, with a host of unsettled domestic issues–like their sputtering economy and widespread allegatations of corruption–to boot, could the second largest economy in the world manage to find its Doraemon to clear the mess before it’s too late? Before China manages to overtake them?

I love Doraemon by the way.

Fukuda’s resignation shortly follows the exit of Pakistan President Pervez Musharaf, who threw the towel last Aug. 18 after an impeachment scare. Doesn’t that make you proud of the “determination” and “perseverance” of our dear president?

Mogwai releases new album

Mogwai has just released their sixth full-length studio album “The Hawk is Howling.” I’m loving what I’m hearing so far.  Album seems an elegant return to form, with tunes that hark back to early Mogwai albums.

You’ve all got to watch the video of The Sun Smells Too Loud, a song off Mogwai’s new album. The video, which is an exercise in synesthesia, is solid gold. Ridiculously and wonderfully insane.
