I think today, the Fillipino nation is again united the way it was in 1986. Ninety-nine percent are very admiring, sympathetic and grateful for what she and Ninoy have done for us.


It’s sure is right what Saguisag said.

I was in front of there house waiting however, I don’t actually recall what the purpose of our visit. I was with my family I think at that time barely high school wanting to get a glimpse of Chris. The reason why we were there is because we somewhat kind of in a “connection” or (kakila) because my uncle was the doctor of Ninoy when he received surgery for triple bypass of the heart. Anyway, because of that I had a glimpse of Cory when she was running about inside the house in Times street…. and out of nowhere here comes a burly looking guy bringing some mugs. Mugs for coffee. Yellow mugs with a signature ” I drank coffee with Cory ” ….and that was it. Although i didn’t had the chance to see Cory and likewise Chris I had or our family had this mug which was more than a collectible, given to us a sign of gesture or something.

That event was still unclear to me why we where there, but for one thing I remember is that our family received something more.

The Cory mug is still here. I just hope she remains with us forever.

Maraming Salamat po Tita Cory.

New Car Smell. Hmmm cancer.

It doesn’t matter if you’re driving a luxurious Lexus or a sensible Saturn, all new vehicles come with “new car smell” free of charge. Most folks love the odor, but few know what it is.

Well, here’s the bad news — that aroma is actually a collection of noxious fumes caused by the various glues holding the car’s interior together. And while collectively it may

smell good, it’s not at

all good for you.

ABC News explains that the new car smell may cause “headaches, sore throat, nausea, and possibly cancer.” The United States doesn’t have a law against the “volatile organic compounds” that cause new car smell, but some countries do. In the U.S., “new car interiors can contain 128 times the legal limit” in Australia.

So should a gas mask come free with every new car? Maybe, maybe not. This article from CNN reports that environmental groups are calling for new regulations in the U.S. Like all things government-related, this may take a while. In the meantime, new car owners should use solar reflectors, open their car windows, and park out of the sun when possible.

Suddenly, used cars never smelled so good.
