Your Love: Remembering the 1993 Bocaue Pagoda Tragedy by Adrian Maramba How can your persistence for a lifetime in the story about that? What's happening through the story about the wrongs of the past? The Bocaue Pagoda Tragedy was a fatal accident that occurred on the 2nd of July, 1993 during the Bocaue Pagoda Festival in Bocaue, Bulacan, Philippines. The accident was the result of the festivities - a floating pagoda - sinking, resulting in the deaths of more than 300 people. The Bocaue River Festival is an annual celebration held every first Sunday of July (formerly July 2, until 1993) in Bocaue, Bulacan, in the Philippines, in honor of the Holy Cross, the  Mahal na Poon ng Krus sa Wawa , found in the river of the 2nd of July in the 1800s. The festivities involve a decorated pagoda on top of a barge surrounded by small boats accompanying it. A replica of the holy cross is placed at the top of the pagoda. The  Mahal na Poon ng Krus sa Wawa  is a replica of the cross on which the L

Interested in Wedding by Adrian Maramba How many people are interested in weddings? What should I wear? Many people attend weddings during Christmas, New Year, and ordinary occasions. For me, I'm interested in Weddings. I'm just listening to Beautiful in White by Shane Filan, a popular wedding Song. I'm viewing the photos of Zeus and Diane's Wedding followed by Jala and Caren's Wedding.  I'm viewing Ash and Serena's Wedding in the Pokemon Anime Series. In the Episode, Ash and Serena get married after several years of commitment and love for all the time. I'm listening to Beautiful in White by Shane Filan, from the album, Love Always. The Wedding Entourage is  will stand on the sides of the altar and the front pew of the church to witness your wedding. Since they will be the closest to you at your wedding, they should be the closest family and friends you want with you on your big day. The maid of honor, the best man, the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, the p

A Cotillion in the Philippines is celebrated when a young girl turns 18 years of age and officially becomes a young woman, called a “debutante.” Cotillions are celebrated in the Philippines mostly by those in high society, and much time and money are spent on their planning. Families of Filipino descent have brought the tradition with them to the United States. The Filipino Cotillion tradition is a throwback to the Spanish colonization era (between 1521 and 1898) and is popular among the upper class of Philippine society. Historically, the Cotillion was used by the girl’s family particularly to introduce her to young men of marrying age who belonged to the same upper-class society.  In the U.S. between the mid-1960s through the early 1990s, group cotillions became popular. Group cotillions allowed families who would otherwise not be able to afford the expenses associated with this celebration to host them. Cotillions and wedding preparations are similar in the time and money spent. For

Never Forget You by Joseph Adrian A. Maramba Three thousand years may pass, But I will never forget you. For me, I have been watched television dramas and movies like When We First Met, Love Wedding Repeat, Holidate, and others watched on Netflix. Other television dramas like Marimar, Huwag Kang Mangamba, Kokak, Once Upon a kiss and others. For me, I like my idol, Vincent Santos, one of the anchorman of IBC-13's Tutok Trese, followed by Greg Gregorio, one of the anchors and reporter of TV5. I watched the news last 2019 if were you can, I am a big fan of News Anchors and Field Reporters.  Something who had long but if you not forget to do. How can not forget your smile? How does it feel? For me, I just have been on time to do it right. I watched Lenten dramas during Holy Week. For the First Time, I watched APT Entertainment Lenten Drama Presentation, regarding a woman who had a stigmata wound.  I was crying with Fr. Vincent in front of the Church, inspired by creating Lenten Drama,

Ang Huling Laro ng Aking Anak by Joseph Adrian A. Maramba Have a long time playing computer games in a lifetime? How can persistence be done because of playing games with another one? The story has no glaring loopholes but the plot itself has a tendency to turn mawkish. It takes an excellent actress to astutely manage to hurdle the maudlin elements of the story. The story can touch on a timely concern among the youth - the seeming addiction to online games. But the story wisely does not just gloss over the issue but goes beyond the surface, presenting one poor lad's story as a microcosm that mirrors the many ills of modern technology and modern life, the consequences of video game gambling, how it almost breaks a family apart but in the end, gives that every family a chance to start over after a significant bump on the road. In effect, the episode also pays tribute to the resilience of most Filipino families. And I am talking here of the regular families that fight to s

The Cool Story of Chinese Fans “Shaken in hand and a cool breeze embraces you,” this is one description of the cooling power of the delicate Chinese fan. The history of Chinese fan can be dated to over 3,000 years ago, around the Shang Dynasty (C.16th-11th BC). The first type of fan, known as Shanhan, was tied to a horse-drawn carriage to shut out the strong sunshine and shelter the passengers from the rainfall. The Shanhan was a bit like today’s umbrella. Later this Shanhan became a long-handled fan made of thin and tough silk or birds’ feathers, called a zhangshan fan, which was mainly used by the emperor’s honour guard as decoration. In fact, the fan was not used to help cool people until the Zhou Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, fan was usually made of feathers and called “feather fan,” which was only popular among the noble class. The fan was popularized during the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220) when the simple bamboo fan and the cattail-leaf fan were inven
