GEORGE II OF GREAT BRITAIN

Herrenhausen Palace in Hanover, on the 10th of November, 1683, the man who became George II was born George Augustus. The son and heir of King George I, he was the last ruling British monarch that was born outside the British Isles, and this record still stands as the great grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and third in line of succession to the British throne, Prince George of Cambridge was born at London on the 22nd of July. 2013.

The intelligent wife of George II was Carolina of Ansbach, who enermously influenced and persuaded him on retaining his father’s adviser, Sir Robert Walpole as the prime minister. Thus, damaging his capabilities as a strong politician.

George II also was the last British monarch to command troops in the field during the War of the Austrian Succession in 1743. In comparison to his father King George I, George II played a bigger role in England’s foreign and military affairs.

Not far away from the British Isles, Prince Charles Edward Stuart or “Bonnie Prince Charlie” or the “Young Pretender” was preparing his influence and money in France for his rebellion – the Jacobite rebellion. Most of his followers were the Scottish clans: Mckenzie, Frasers, Chattan, and many more. The king's forces defeated the rebellion at Culloden Moor in 1746, ending the Highlander way of life and concluding the Stuarts' last attempt in regaining authority in Britain.

On the 25th of October, 1760, George II died of a stroke at the age of 76. Considerably, in the three of his death, England had won against France in the Seven Year’s War. In addition to George II's success as king, his secretary of state in the person of William Pitt the Elder, England became the dominant foreign power in India and took control of Canada.

THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE

Learning the Filipino language is pretty fun and easy. It's a mix of native Filipino language and Spanish and English. Thus, if you know Filipino language, you can say that you know Spanish amd English as well. Think about this. Filipino loves borrowing words from it's colonizers. So, almost all Filipino words for all things present from before 1900s are from the Spanish like kutsara, plato, banyo, radio, sobrero and many more. Thus for the new invented things on today's modern technology, Filipino borrows from the English language. Like the internet, cellphone, computer, and the likes. All Filipino words for all things which came from Europe at the time when Philippines was under Spain are Spanish or a little modified Spanish. Now, to show that the Filipino language is also evolving: Charoot has may meaning, Filipino use this word for almost everything in replacement for the vulgar words and unknown terms. But most of the time it means, “just kidding...

Filipinos in the Middle East

Top destination for Filipino working abroad? That's the Middle East! But why? Is it because of the salary? Or the environment? Or the luxury? Filipino loves working, we know that already. But to choose the Middles East intrigues me. Why? Firstly, the Middle East (UAE, qatar, and Egypt) - the world's fastest growing construction market! Because of this, they need skilled workers and laborers at low cost plus able to communicate with them easily. As we all know, most Filipinos speak English and that's a catch. It's cheap for the employers but a fortune for Filipinos. A good example for that is the Engineering department. Filipino Engineers can earn a starting salary of Php 15,000 a month in a private company, suprisingly in the Middle East a Filipino Engineer can earn Php 60,000 to 100,000 per month! This kind of salary in the Philippines is for Top executives or the highest pay for a Proffesor in college. Domestic work, healthcare, construction labor, skille...

EYE IN THE SKY: REACTION

I'd just watched this film on a bus on my way to another city. I heard no audio, i think the bus' speakers were not working. But what i want to tell is, even through i hear no audio, i felt the messege of the film. The excitement, the pressure, and the pain when the youngngirl died. I don't know if all of the people on the bus were paying much attention on the five little screen, which only 4 of them really works. Soundless, but i heard the man said, "GOOOO." The emotions each character is showing is doubtless awesome. The rapid heartbeat when an officer was about to pull the trigger to bomb the house near the young girl. One cannot truly blame the young girl nor the officers in charge of the bombing, all of them were doing yhe best they could to serve the purposes of their own actions. And lastly, the thought of just waiting a little bit longer, could perhaps save the young girl's life. This is what i love about this kind of films, it make...
