What Have We Learned So Far?: Relativity...

For Dummies

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
~ Albert Einstein

There must be a miscalculation.
For these guys, it seemed liked seconds - and they weren't even sitting beside her.

What Have We Learned So Far?: Smoking

Kills.
Thou shall not murder (this includes thyself), says the third commandment.

Here's another interesting commandment. The sixth says, "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name." Right, Cardinal Rosales?

*Advanced Happy Mothers Day greetings to Nanay Shiela and Tita Pilar. For the constant reminder that smoking kills. We'll note that.

An Enemy of the Society is Born*

September 13, 1903 ~ March 24, 1970

The last time I saw Amang, he said he was going through the final draft of his latest work (tentatively titled "Amado"). That was in the summer of 2007. He finished his first draft when he taught in UP Baguio for the first semester of 2006-2007.

The work is a biography of Amado Hernandez, national artist and known labor leader. Amang probed Amado's life, discovering angles that "humanizes" what most would consider a "Leyendo."

Halina also helped in the psychoanalysis of Amado's childhood.

I don't know if it's already done. Haven't heard nor contacted Amang for a time.

Wonder what he's up to.

*title of one of Amado's short stories.

Pebrero 29

Isang napapanahong tula mula sa Pinakamamahal nating Pambansang Alagad ng Sining, Prop. Bienvenido Lumbera. Hindi pa rin kumukupas si Kalbo.






Bayang Filipinong ayaw nang pagago
Sa mga pakana ng gobyernong Arroyo,
Sa a-beinte-nueve (29) ng buwang Pebrero,
Dumalo sa rally at lalaban tayo.

Sobrang-sobra na ang ating tiisin,
Ang pangungurakot, pagsisinungaling,
Sagad hanggang buto, dapat nang matigil,
Di tayo aatras sa Pangulong Evil

We make war that we may live in peace.
-Aristotle
