Mystery, Mystery!

How are we to welcome the New Year? Firecrackers are banned not only in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world. However fireworks the bigger and huge spectacle of fireworks on top of towers in the biggest cities in the world is not. Bridges in Australia, Eiffel tower in Paris, CN Tower, the Needle tower and other famous towers will surely have those yearly awesome fireworks for all the people in the world to see by the naked eye or be seen through mediums such as television networks and through the internet then followed by stage shows starring your favorite showbiz personalities. That's predictable happenings almost every year. Is there any surprises?

The 31st of December 2012, the remembrance day commemoration for Dr. Jose Rizal is not over yet. There are so many memories pertaining to his life, works and writings. Many photographs appeared in ying-yang and collectors around the world are happy to know that.

June 19, 1861 to December 30, 1896 : Dr. Rizal's birth and date of death. He was only 35 years old when he died? Too young eh? He was born at the time when US Pres. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was a famous political figure in Washington, DC. Curios? Curiosity where are 'ya? OMG! Please wake up Rudyard Kipling and his elephant, the very curious elephant who was spanked a lot of times.

Did he really died? Well according to the history unearthed by historians (?) he was buried in Paco Cemetery. His remains were buried in that site although his statue was erected in Luneta (after being confirmed as a martyr and a hero) where he was executed by firing squad .

Anyway, according to the Nuclear physicist named James Watson, in his own personal view that intelligent human beings are spared from death due to the fact that they are used for "breeding."

Alienated? Alienation?

Who knows?

A Very Influential Human Being: Dr. Jose P. Rizal

@SUNRISE December 30, 1896 Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal was executed in Bagumbayan, known today as Luneta in Manila, Philippines.

WHO really is Dr. Jose Rizal? Every Filipino knows who is Dr. Rizal for he is the famous HERO gifted with so much talent, great skills and higher education known the world over. No one 's just like him. He is almost like God in so many ways, in so many descriptions attributed to him by his followers. It's for the same reason that maybe the Roman Catholic had that denial of his persona. No one is like God. There is only ONE GOD!

Anyway, Dr. Rizal is a true hero for helping his mother recovered his eyesight. Every Filipinos are educated today because they want to follow his footsteps. Great influence! They all want to become just like Jose Rizal because he is very smart, more than smart but intelligent and we respect his intelligence. We respect a man who has great respect, love and loyalty to his country and who can influence the youth of today. Sure he is more than smart in his time because he can speak 22 languages, traveled the world over and finished different university degree from Arts to Science to Medicine. Wealthy people can do that. Rich, wealthy people can study all their lives. Nothing can stop them from educating themselves and researching, exploring and digging whatever they can dig be of treasures, the ark, or the truth. There is no one like him in this new world and generation of ours if there maybe another one like Dr. Rizal, he is probably a much celebrated Hollywood actor who garnered so much awards, trophies and recognition.

Who is Dr. Jose Rizal? Is he another Dr. Who? Was he a time traveller? Was he warped by time and space trying to find out the meaning of life and existence of the universe and most of all in search of greater human being, in search for God?

His famous black suit? There, you'll notice he's either a priest or a pastor! Will the Roman Catholic's Pope will reveal to us what really happened during his time? In 1896?

Here are the many MOVIES that could or would reveal to you hints and clues of Dr. Jose Rizal. Maybe...

1. The Original Sin
2. Matt Damon's Bourne Identity
3. Thornbirds
4. Jack the Ripper
5. Jekyll and Hyde
6. The Illusionist
7. The Last Pharaoh
8. The Last Emperor
9. The Last Samurai
10. Hero
11. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
12. House of Flying Daggers


Let's be honest and careful here. Another person's treasure, wealth, persona and history, most especially biography of one's person cannot be given to another person just because the family of that person wants to buy another person's history to add up to its family's wealth and collection.

Yes you can have collection of any famous collectibles provided that you wont change the names of the artist's name and contribution to this world. That other talented artists and heroes will still have their "names" as the true artist who made those images and written artifacts.

Respect for the many contributors of artworks, books and important paraphernalia should be acknowledged by stating their true real names and should not be changed without permission by those who acquired them either by trade or acquisition as gift.
