August 21 is an important event for it ignited the anger that the Filipinos suppressed in their hearts. By ignited is meant that even Martial law could no longer stop the filipino from going to the streets and shouted for freedom and liberation from the then Marcos regime. It reminds us of what one man, Benigno Aquino fondly called Ninoy, husband of Cory Aquino, our deceased first lady president  and father of our present president,Benigno "Noynoy"  Aquino, can do to a people who almost hope for better things to come.  Ninoy's words will always inspire us to think good of the filipino for he defended if with his life when he uttered the words: "The filipino is worth dying for."

It is surprising that August 21 is not declared a holiday. Perhaps someday very soon what with the Aquino clan giving us the best testimonies of how to love our country. The mere mention of Cory is tantamount to honoring the freedom she gave back to our country just as the mere mention of Ninoy is the epitome of heroism just when heroes are thought of as mere statues to be remembered like in the books.

Thank you Ninoy and Cory for the lives that we hope to emulate. Thank you for being the good parents that you were to your children. We, who have children, find comfort in the fact that good parenting is always the best way to help our country. Would you believe, I have 3 boys who have not decided to marry yet and I want to believe it is because they want to be prepared when the right woman come along. So when our bachelor president,Noynoy, finally meets the One, he has some decision to make

For someone like me who hopes to try politics after retirement from active employment, the warning is already up front: unless it is  meant to be, better ask for some sign for like Cory she never wanted the limelight yet when she had to become president because the people wanted her to lead the country, she adamantly accepted. She had one beautiful thing going for her: she wanted to serve in the real sense of the word. She did not become another person to please the people around her. Ninoy must have supported her all along for up to the time she vacated the presidency, she left it with the same dignity as she entered it. Not many presidents can follow what Cory did.

Now we are celebrating the 28th death anniversary of a man who has left a legacy of a family worth emulating by every filipino clan.Thank you Ninoy for a life worth living for! Our prayers for your everlasting happiness with the Maker and our Father God.

What we really want to say is that with fifty (50) channels given by Parasat (which they say should even be more!) there is much to learn from and much to teach about.

Cristina Aguilera is a refreshing sight to behold being one of the judges in the new addition of AXN, The Voice. Cee Lou Shelton, Adam , Blake as the other judges are supposed to form their own group of 8 and from them choose the best voice. A 2-hour show it is difficult to follow but we will intersperse our viewing with it as it goes on showing.

Net 25's Footprints had for this Sunday night presentation the way charcoal is prepared from garbage. Tv episodes, like this, are man's ways of taking care of Mother Earth especially now that she is really wailing for protection. 

Fox News is really a channel to watch if you like many harsh comments about Obama Administration. This particular episode however shows a priest who comments about Religion's Role in Politics and as always this comment demands varied reactions. 

The channel to watch is ch 50 (lotus Macau) in our cable. You are sure to view films which are worth your night time: a rerun of Godfather, Air Force 1 and now The Fugitive. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee ones make your night with their acting. If the new program on "The Voice" is intricate so is "The Fugitive". The pain of trusting a friend and be disillusioned by t because this so-called best friend really killed your wife. Being fugitive for a cause even The Feds led by Jones was treated to the truth that was difficult to surface.

Not to be forgotten is EWTN especially now that the Pope, Benedict XVI is is Spain for the World Youth Day celebration. My children are reminded of the one time when they too wanted to join one world day celebration, that time in Germany, but all the wrong intentions of the so-called recruits, made it one of those sad learning experiences. Even those that are supposed to be religious are affected by the intentions of the not so religious who use events to earn extra money. The usual saying comes into the picture: "Money is the root of all evils". 

Tv viewing is one of the motions this blogger never gets tired doing, especially now that one of her blogs is "Elderly Blues & Blows."
