The professor would pick out from a box a small piece of paper with a stanza number written on it and that's the stanza you would recite. So it's doubly tough than just reciting the poem from start to end.Photo Cachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734663922538063553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-78154000329948149112010-08-24T23:39:25.965+08:002010-08-24T23:39:25.965+08:00Funny that I was also thinking of re-reading Rizal...Funny that I was also thinking of re-reading Rizal's books while reading your post. Never really paid attention during high school. Tsk tsk.. Thanks for the tour, I too never even thought that there is such a lovely diorama at the park. <br /><br />And not to end on a sad note, I grieve not only for the HK people but for us as well. It truly was an unfortunate event that we wish to erase from our history.<br /><br />Great post Luna!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-67672853570400370772010-08-24T22:20:05.201+08:002010-08-24T22:20:05.201+08:00The Philippines have had such a sad history of occ...The Philippines have had such a sad history of occupation.

I've always wanted to take photos but there were too many people around the rare times I went there. By the way, you should check out Ambeth Ocampo's Rizal Without the Overcoat. The book has some really interesting personal facts about our hero, a must-read for every Filipino.Mariteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624098864390552460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-36905807439175650412010-08-24T21:27:18.196+08:002010-08-24T21:27:18.196+08:00WIll make time to visit this next trip to Manila. ...WIll make time to visit this next trip to Manila.

Innocent lives are lost in heroic battles as well as in senseless acts such as the current bus episode. Sometimes being at the wrong place at the wrong time turns an ordinary day into tragedy. A lot has happened and you explained events as they unfolded in an excellent way.Penelope Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965692242969563279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-25907897461342790422010-08-24T16:45:43.251+08:002010-08-24T16:45:43.251+08:00Really touching!
