Saint Jose Street
You welcomed me so long ago, Full of illusions, sweetness, love, and wishes.

You were a cradle to my children,
Who moved here in their childhood and
Grew, and became nearly adults.
Were they happy?
I don't know...

Here I spent part of my younger years,
Became an adult, and
I became a wife and a mother.
I experienced more as a woman.
Learned to love simple people,
Simple - like me.
I learned to look at each one of them as a brother, sister. I saw them as a friend, or confidant.
Here I lived for a long time,
Felt love, and the lack of it,
Happiness and unhappiness,
Disloyalty, humiliation, and elation,
Desperation and hope,
Was rejected and wanted,
Cried and laughed,
Failed, fought, and succeeded!

Today I end that part

...Biography of Nick Joaquín (1917-2004) Posted on September 15, 2010 by Pepe Nicomedes "Nick" Joaquín This is the best biography of Nick that I’ve encountered so far… The 1996 Ramón Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Communication Arts BIOGRAPHY of Nick Joaquín Resil B. Mojares He was the greatest Filipino writer of his generation. Over six decades and a half, he produced a body of work unmatched in richness and range by any of his contemporaries. Living a life wholly devoted to the craft of conjuring a world through words, he was the writer’s writer. In the passion with which he embraced his country’s manifold being, he was his people’s writer as well. Nick Joaquín was born in the old district of Pacò in Manila, Philippines, on September 15, 1917, the feast day of Saint Nicomedes, a protomartyr of Rome, after whom he took his baptismal name. He was born to a home deeply Catholic, educated, and prosperous. His father, Leocadio Joaquín, was a person of some prominence. Leocadio was a procurador (attorney) in the Court of First Instance of Laguna, where he met and married his first wife, at the time of the Philippine Revolution. He shortly joined the insurrection, had the rank of colonel, and was wounded in action. When the hostilities ceased and the country came under American rule, he built a successful practice in law. Around 1906, after the death of his first wife, he married Salomé Márquez, Nick’s mother. A friend of General Emilio Aguinaldo, Leocadio...

Francisco de Goya

...del Prado, Madrid Born 30 March 1746 Fuendetodos, Aragon, Spain Died 16 April 1828 (aged 82) Bordeaux, France Nationality Spanish Known for Painting, drawing Movement Romanticism Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes[A] (/ˈɡɔɪə/; Spanish: [fɾanˈθisko xoˈse ðe ˈɣoʝa i luˈθjentes]; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of late 18th and early 19th centuries and throughout his long career was a commentator and chronicler of his era. Immensely successful in his lifetime, Goya is often referred to as both the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. He was born to a modest family in 1746 in the village of Fuendetodos in Aragon. He studied painting from age 14 under José Luzán y Martinez and moved to Madrid to study with Anton Raphael Mengs. He married Josefa Bayeu in 1773; the couple's life together was characterised by an almost constant series of pregnancies and miscarriages. He became a court painter to the Spanish Crown in 1786 and the early portion of his career is marked by portraits commissioned by the Spanish aristocracy and royalty, as well as the Rococo style tapestry cartoons designed for the royal palace. Goya was a guarded man and although letters and writings survive, we know comparatively little about his thoughts. He suffered a severe and undiagnosed illness in 1793 which left him completely deaf. After 1793 his work became progressively darker and pessimistic...

...Ermita is a community that delivers to everyday life of not only the residents of Ermita, but also to people who live in the metropolis. Despite the prominent buildings and famous institutions that are located in the area, Ermita is also a home to significant and historic beginnings of Manila. The history and the developments are turned into concrete reminders in the fields of academe, research and medicine, religion, art, trade and industry, government and even private institutions which collectively contribute to the cultural merit of Ermita. ACADEME AND RESEARCH The history of the Philippines according to written records started in 1521 upon the arrival of Magellan. As early as that, the natives already have their own system of writing. It was in 1768 when Jesuit priests arrived in the Philippines and they built a house in the settlement of Lagyo which is now Ermita, and a more formal form of education was introduced to the natives. Father Sedeno, a priest, became interested in constructing buildings and this is when stone structures like houses and schools were built. It was believed that one of their objectives was to educate the Filipino people (Foronda, 1986). They founded schools,...

They feature witty, outlandish designs that use intense colors and are youthful, provocative, stylish, and unpredictable. The mission of the IMC campaign is to tie the brand image with creative art in order to tell the brand story, strengthen Swatch‘s brand identity among the target audience (young students or professionals, aged 18-25) globally, and consistently incorporate different and relevant mediums (print ad, website, MTV – user-generated content, and online communities) to reach the target audience. The multi-country marketing analysis of The Swatch Group will aid in developing the IMC strategy and campaign for Swatch‘s CreArt (‗creativity‘ + ‗art‘) Collection in the following three countries: Brazil, Japan and Switzerland. When reading this, please be aware that Swatch did not impose an integrated marketing campaign in Brazil; rather, they only held one event and communicated to customers through Twitter. Therefore, the Brazil section is composed mostly of what The Swatch Group should do in order to meet their objectives. Furthermore, the cultural dimensions and components that will affect...

It dispels the myth that you have to be extroverted to be happy and successful.” —JUDITH ORLOFF, M.D., author of Emotional Freedom “In this engaging and beautifully written book, Susan Cain makes a powerful case for the wisdom of introspection. She also warns us ably about the downside to our culture’s noisiness, including all that it risks drowning out. Above the din, Susan’s own voice remains a compelling presence—thoughtful, generous, calm, and eloquent. Quiet deserves a very large readership.” —CHRISTOPHER LANE, author of Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness 4/929 “Susan Cain’s quest to understand introversion, a beautifully wrought journey from the lab bench to the motivational speaker’s hall, offers convincing evidence for valuing substance over style, steak over sizzle, and qualities that are, in America, often derided.
