FOOTBALL CHANGE

Quite impressed after watching the boys play, I asked Savion and Nicolas if the football drills and practice games caused the improvement.  
Savion gave the reason - "FIFA 2011... It changed our lives."

PEOPLE POWER

"Laban!"
The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution and the Philippine Revolution of 1986) was a series of popular nonviolent revolutions and prayerful mass street demonstrations in the Philippines that occurred in 1986, which marked the restoration of the country's democracy.  It became a subsequent inspiration for the Revolutions of 1989 that ended communist dictatorships in Eastern Europe.  It is sometimes referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during the arrival of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. in 1983.  These protests were the culmination of a long campaign of civil resistance by the people against the 20-year running authoritarian, repressive regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos and made headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world."
The people used the "L" gesture meaning "laban" in the street demonstrations.

TOM'S TOYS


Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks has become a grandfather for the first time.
Tom's first grandchild could give him the perfect excuse to dig out his most treasured toys, as he recently admitted he still loves playing with his kids' miniature cars and planes.
Tom said:  "I play with toys all the time.  I play with the little goofy things my kids still have like cars and planes and I hold them up and imagine the same stories I did when I was a kid."
He added, "My own toys weren't collectibles - they went through hard use so any toy I had was eventually pounded out of existence or they broke.  They went the best way any toys can - they were played with out of existence."
