Never Forget You

Image
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 Dr...

Ang Huling Laro ng Aking Anak

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

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...
