José Rizal

This need to humanize Rizal is brought up by the notions of Rizal being a supreme being with no fault. This close-to-being-a-god notion gave us a reason to understand and know who Rizal is under all the titles and ideologies attached to his name. In fact, a reason why he is thought of as a god is because his life is a mystery. Not a lot of people knew who he was besides his literary works and his heroic deeds so if we knew how he lived, we can understand him and his works.

This sense of…

She was losing weight, she was always tired and her vision started to deteriorate. It made me feel so helpless. I recall going with my mother to her doctor appointments, and seeing…

Source 1: Imagine being awakened early in the morning by the ground shaking so hard that you're thrown out of bed and across the room--if you're even lucky enough to be alive. On April 18, 1906, at 5:12 a.m., an earthquake hit San Francisco, destroying much of the city. San Francisco was a growing city with many closely spaced wooden homes and unsupported brick buildings. The moment the earthquake started, buildings collapsed, water mains broke, and a huge fire broke out that spread rapidly…
