Photo: Green House of Rizal

There is a controversy lately among the people of Calamba, Laguna regarding the decision of the local government to paint the ancestral house of the Philippine National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, green.

For all those who are curious, here's a picture of Rizal's house painted green. Sorry for the poor image photo, it was just taken from a camera phone and enlarged:


And just in case you're wondering how Rizal's house looked like before, here's the original color of the house. This photo is taken with a DSLR, thus the great image:



According to the Cultural Center of the Philippines, where the order to paint Rizal's house green came from:

"The reason for painting Rizal’s house green highlights and informs visitors of the meaning of his surname. Following the 1849 Claveria decree giving surnames to Filipinos for tax and census purposes, the Rizals who were also known by their other surname Mercado (market) chose 'Risal' from the 'Catalogo alfabetico de apellidos.'

The word comes from the Spanish 'ricial' which describes a green field ready for harvest. It was hoped that after asking, 'Why is Rizal’s house green?' the visitor will get a relevant answer: the green hues are meant to honor the memory of the Rizal family and their way of life."

What's your opinion on this issue? Is it okay or not? What color should Rizal's house be?

Personal Moving and Storage

Here's a charity conversation from dNeero. It's about personal moving and storage. I think this conversation is very appropriate for me because I've really been thinking of moving to a new place anytime soon and this reminded me that I should also start looking for movers I can hire when I move to a new place.

Watch The Proposal Free Online Full Movie

Friends are asking me, where can I watch The Proposal movie online for free? I told them that they should not watch The Proposal movie free online because if they are a Sandra Bullock fan, they should watch it in movie theaters.

But they say that lately, she's really been making not so funny movies that's why they want to know first if The Proposal is good to watch.

Anyway, The Proposal is a romantic comedy about Margaret and Andrew. Margaret is an ambitious high-powered book editor who suddenly encounters trouble with her citizenship. Unless she becomes an American, she will be deported back to Canada.

Now comes her assistant, Andrew, who unwillingly becomes her fiance. And that is where all the fun and laughter begins as they try to convince everyone that they are indeed together.

Let's watch The Proposal free movie trailer below:

Will the pretend relationship become real in the end? Watch The Proposal and find out. As a bonus, here's a video of some of the movie's blooper scenes. Not quite funny, that's why I want to watch The Proposal free online first before heading to the cinemas.

Anyway, here it is, enjoy and watch:



The Proposal stars Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Malin Akerman, Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen, Betty White, Denis O'Hare, Oscar Nunez. It is directed by Anne Fletcher.
