love thy neighbors



The Easter lesson that I learned quite easily. I got good neighbors in our apartment complex: kids who used to know my dog, teammates who bring over pasta, and fellow Filipinos who can do just about evertyhing for you.

Cheers to Easter! God bless everyone.^^ Posted by Picasa

The Number 7

Now its 2007.

On Black Saturday April 7, Ronnel whose apartment building is 17, will turn 27. He is also the 7th person from our university who lives in our apartment complex.

Come April 17, the multimillion dollar multimedia campaign "There Will Soon Be Seven" will prepare for the release of the 7th Harry Potter installment. The book will be released on the twenty-first day of the July, the 7th month.

On the 7th minute of the 7th hour of the 7th day on the same 7th month, that' s July 7 2007, 7:07 am, the reuniting Smashing Pumpkins will release their new cd. One of their best hits is called 1979.

On the same day, still 7/7/7, the new 7 Wonders of the World will be unveiled by the The New7Wonders Foundation. By voting online
for the 21 (7x3=21) proposed wonders, you can help decide what else is joining the Great Pyramids of Egypt in the existing 7 Wonders of the World.

I 'm sure more marketing campaigns will take advantage of 7/7/7. After all it only happens once in our lifetime.

Thank you for reading through this piece inspired by The Number 23, the movie last seen in the cinema by yours truly, who happens to have 7 letters in each of his names (Edgardo Humilde Certeza) and is the 7th in a family of 7.

And if you're reading closely, 7 or seven appears 35 (7x5=35) times in this entry. Posted by Picasa
