something i learned from watching csi

November 29th, 2007

the tribune tower near the michigan avenue bridge in chicago has over 136 stones from all landmarks etched on the walls of its ground level. one of these stones is from our very own corregidor island! it is specifically located on top of the stone (maybe a deposit of sediment) from santa maria island-azores in the atlantic ocean. other stones on this wall came from the alamo, a former mission and fortress compound, now a museum, located in san antonio, texas; the redwood forest in northern california; and the hagia sophia, a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum, in istanbul, turkey.
how great is that!

all these things i learned from mac taylor in the season 4, episode 9 of csi:new york. well, he did not really mention the stone from corregidor island as he did all the others (because they were crucial parts of the puzzle that he and his team were solving), but when he went to see the stone-filled wall for himself near the episode’s end, the stone from corregidor island philippines could be seen. check out the episode when it shows here on axn.

here is a picture of the stone on the chicago tower wall which i got from http://www.op97.k12.il.us/julian/tribrocks/rocks/014/index.html

two persons, two great friends

(god, i can't remember his name. i remember he works at the ateneo de manila university). we exchanged cellphone numbers in the chatroom and there started our friendship. i lost communication with the one whose name i can't remember but nath and i never lost communication, either through text messages or friendster messages. there is ...

february 15. childhood imagination - this is a factory of ajinomoto at the nlex. dwarfs go into this giant ajinomoto at midnight, when there are no people around, to get the ajinomoto that we buy from stores. LOL! this is actually the new shape already. my childhood imagination was with the old shape.

happy new year

happy new year!!! i’ve been meaning to post since before the new year. however, there was so much traffic in accessing the internet maybe because of the many people who update their profiles and/or send their holiday greetings. plus, i had to delete many spam comments in my friendster blog site. i don’t really understand why they are there and they just keep on piling everyday. anyway, because it’s a new year, i will have a new year’s resolution. this is the 2nd year of posting my new year’s resolution. just read on my previous posts because i have mentioned this quite a few times and i even evaluated myself if i was true to the promise, hehehe. and i plan to continue doing it even if 2008 has passed. so for this year, i resolve to save. i have been working for almost 9 years now and i haven’t saved any penny. i have a bank account and all but there’s really nothing in it. i resolve to start doing this this year because i just thought that i am not getting any younger and i am n...
