December 30 - A Day to Remember

Today's my big brother's birthday. So, Happy Birthday, "Kuya". Kuya means Older brother in Tagalog.

Today also happens to be the 108th Death Anniversary of our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Dr. Jose Rizal was a brillant man full of charisma. He was well educated. He knows alot of languages and has been to many parts of the world. He fought the revolution against the Spaniards with the use of his writings and his famous novels Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) and El Filibusterismo (The Filibuster). I've been reading the newspaper earlier and I was kinda proud upon reading that the Antiquities Advisory Board of HongKong placed a commemorative plaque on where Jose Rizal used to reside in his stay in HongKong. They also placed one of those plaques on the site of the clinic where Rizal practiced as an opthalmologist.

It's times like these that makes me proud of who I am... A Filipino!

Bounce!
