University of Santo Tomas, Philippines

It is my alma mater. I have not blog about her, but she was very seminal to my career/profession. Without her and my own family's support, I would not be where I am now.

I am and will a Thomasian!

The Crossing

I watch the "The Crossing" that depicts the crossing of Gorge Washington over the Delaware River on that fateful day at Christmas Day, crossing from Pennsylvania to the Shore in Trenton.

The Colonial Army defeated the Hessian mercenary from Germany.

We would be a colony were it not for the the above historic turning event in the American Revolution.

New Jersey, a Progressive State

We voted against the death penalty. Who are we to judge someone's life?

But, I do empathise for the victims of these heinous crimes.

It is the power of forgiveness that elevate us from ordinary being to the sublime.

A State Worth Living, Mentally

Dec. 24 issue of Time, page 20 has a short article about the mental state of the States of the Union.

I was a bit surprise. But deep inside me, I don't have any of these negative karmas. It may reflect major mood and sentiment of the residents of this State.

Despite all the negative stereotyping about New Jersey, it ranks the third least depressed state. The rest of the northeast has moderate to worse ranking and may explain all these bad mouthing about Jersey, :).

The least is South Dakota and followed by Hawaii.

So, next time you visit New Jersey or pass by on your way to Manhattan, think of us the third sanest people in the Union.

NASA Photo

Lately, I have problem downloading their pictures only to discover that these smart dude did some tweaking in their NASA page.

With due respect to you smart dude at NASA, I have no indention of claiming those pictures. I did the courtesy to name NASA in my blog for those photos. You guys being smart, it seems like being insecure dude, needing those security blanket.

Now, I will post a picture one of your photos. Do I have the permission?
