A) Concorde Plane Crash

What happened on July 25, 2000 was a disaster. No, more than that. A phenomenal catastrophe. Its pilot was one of France's best & he himself, lost hope upon seeing how desperate the situation is the last 11 seconds of his life;

Co-pilot: "Le Bourget, Le Bourget, Le Bourget."

Pilot: "Too late (unclear)."

Control tower: "Fire service leader, correction, the Concorde is returning to runway zero niner in the opposite direction."

Pilot: "No time, no (unclear)."

Co-pilot: "Negative, we're trying Le Bourget" (four switching sounds).

Co-pilot: "No (unclear)."

The Concorde was the fastest commercial plane then, when it was "on air". Its speed was more or less 3 times the speed of a normal plane. Its architectural detail could be described as somewhat fascinating. But it was last flown in 2003, ending the reality of supersonic speed in commercial planes.

I'm just too young to understand the facts and figures of what really happened, though my father tried hard explaining them to me. But what I have in mind is that, whatever happened, was never expected, as Concorde was thought to be a perfect plane, similar to Titanic's received adulation.

Whoever was in that plane, whatever life was destroyed, I hope God has already "saved their soul."

B) Chiz Escudero's statement concerning the youth

What Sen. Escudero had said in his speech earlier shown in TV Patrol has really moved me. He said;

Ang kabataan, hindi lang dapat pag-asa ng bayan. Dapat, maaasahan din ng bayan.
-Chiz Escudero

Really, words are easy to say, hard to follow. Maybe, he isn't that much ignorant of what majority of the younger ones in our country are today, for him to say such thing as that. For all we know, most of the youth aren't educated, so how can they be the "hope" of our country's future? I'm not saying that Chiz was wrong in obliging us to do what he just said. It's a challenge, yes, for us youth who are educated, and some would even gladly oblige. But to those uneducated youth, this is a bigger challenge, even merely possible for them, since what they have in mind is survival, and not the problems the country is currently facing.

Yes, the children, us, are our future. Let's not think that because most of the youth in our country are uneducated or do not care much of what havoc is occurring in our country, we must be like them and ignore these responsibilities as a citizen as well. We were given by God the might to do whatever we think is right.

C) UP: Disney Movie

So, this would seem like some sort of review but I would just like to share what I think about that awesome Disney movie.

The movie was magnificent! In fact, it was the best Pixar movie ever made! The most touching, most colorful, most creative, and above all, it's realism is the best! (Although the balloon-house flying thingy was like some fraud, it has proved enough for it to be realistic)

And, I learned a brand-new expression. "Cross your heart." Love it! With matching crossing of your chest. It's a thing for "I promise" statements.

And love the characters! All so cute!

Bravo, Disney! Bravo, Pixar! Bravo UP!
