Dear Jose
When we relate to other people, it is but natural to adapt different versions of yourself. One cannot openly say “ P*tang Ina” in front of one’s mother, or it would be quite unnatural to greet a peer by making “mano po”. With the collection of letters that Rizal exchanged, different aspects of his personality come out. Rizal kept all the letters that he received because “through them he wanted to study the character, temperament, transformation, and intellectual tendencies of his friends and countrymen” (Viola 324). So we do the same now to him.
In a letter, addressed to Trinidad Rizal, Rizal fits into the role of “Kuya”. He tells of his adventures in Germany and his impression of German women who are not afraid of men and are more concerned with substance than with appearances. So like any kuya, he encourages Trining to form the habit of studying, so as to adorn herself with substance. He ends the letter asking her to write him back in Spanish....

MERRY CHRISTMASNo one can deny that Christ Jesus is the reason for the season of CHRISTMAS that is why it is called CHRISTmas. It is his birth some two thousand years ago in Bethlehem that we are celebrating today. Sometime ago, people in their perceived hurried and busy life started to shorten Christmas to Xmas. Merry Xmas became in vogue in lieu of the original and longer Merry Christmas mostly in nonformal print and written media. But to think of it, X in Xmas does not mean an unknown entity or quantity like the X in Xray discovered by Roentgen rather it is the first letter of Christos, the Greek X or CHI and thus X in Xmas is the abbreviation for Christ. So it is still alright however in recent years of modern commercialism and political correctness, Merry Christmas or its short form of Xmas is being phased out altogether in the corporate and commercial greetings with Happy Holidays and/or Seasons Greetings....

Update Issue - February, 2008NAGBABAGONG KLIMA SA PILIPINAS, nitong nakaraang dalawang buwan nagsisidaing ang mga naninirahan sa Baguio dahil sa tindi ng ginaw, 8-sentigrado. Di pa umano sila nakadanas ng pangangatog sa ginaw. Dahil hindi naman nangyayari ito, walang central heating ang mga bahay. Suot daw nila ay patong-patong at nakabalabal ng makapal.
