ANNE WITH AN 'E' S01E01 Review

Scrumptious. Agony. Wonderful. Cherry Blossoms. Red Hair. Ugly. Skinny, Freckles.

These are some of my fav terms Anne spelled with an "E" used to express herself on the pilot episode of its 1st season. I am delighted, or I should say "Enchante". It truly brought me to the wonders of living on a beautiful farmland like the Green Gable. Actually, I really did not catch where Green Gable is, I heard the word Australia in some of their conversation. But I am pretty sure it isn't the Down Under, for I saw no kangaroo or wild animals roaming around the fields. It's obviously not in the Great Britain nor Ireland - I heard none of their accents on this episode. Well, maybe in North America, but I am not sure whether in Canada or what state in the USA. Perhaps I'll find out on the next episode.

I like the way Anne speak herself, especially the one she had with Rachel. I laughed - it brought me great delight. The way she compose every sentence make me feel I am hearing stories of make-believe or of the talks of wonders. Of course, I must admit, I felt sorry for her experiences before she came to Green Gable. The moment she said that she never had the chance to be a child breaks my heart into pieces.

To tell you the truth, I already watched the first 2 episodes of the second season. It was an honest mistake, I thought I was downloading the two episodes of the 1st season on Netflix because it first appeared on the selection. Well because of that - I knew about Nathaniel and his gold affair and the testing of soil on the Green Gable. But no more spoilers. That's it then. Cheers! Good night! (I can say good night because I had a good one, and I hope you had too.)

FAIRY TALES ORIGIN

Peoples of many faces and nationalities have enchanted in hearing and telling tales that carries someone away into wonders and a delightful land of make-believe where handsome knights rescue beautiful princess, where ogres and ugly witches are put to demise by charming champions and where a petite seed becomes a giant beanstalk that reaches high up into the sky where another world dwells with gold and treasures. Fragments of a 4000-year-old papyrus found in Egypt tells that Egyptians enjoyed hearing stories that sound much like those we read and tell today. Adults and children passed winter nightfall sitting around the fireplaces of their homes, listening to a beloved tale bearer relate secretive and magical tales of escapade and horror, long before the printing press was invented. These tales were repeated again and again. The more people hear these stories, the more familiar they become to the ears. Consequently, more and more hearers loved to hear them. Parents of...

BRAZIL: SETE DE SETEMBRO

Brazil, as we all know - a great big nation in the South American Continent that expanded from the Amazon Basin in the north to vineyards and massive Iguaçu Falls in the south. However, the proud nation did start from the 15 donatry captaincy colonies, originally established on the Northeast Atlantic coast near the 46th Meridian West also known as Tordesillas Line of 1494 . This did put the boundary between neighboring colonies of the Spanish Crown. On the month of April, 1500 - as recorded, Pedro Álvares Cabral claimed the land for Portugal. Brazilians don't celebrate their discovery like it was a very big day for all of them - like it was the day that their story really began. NO! For the reason that their history reaches way past thousands of years before the Portuguese fleet came. The rich history of this land started with the indigenous people of Brazil. The region where the Portuguese explorers anchored was already inhabited by hundres of different tribes...

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...
