goodbye, March 2011!

There are so many things that happened this month. Yet, I have shared you only few. So in this last post for this month, let me add those "other" things that I want to share with you together with the month's summary.

  • The house from Up (movie) is now in reality. Yes, the National Geographic built a house that was inspired the movie. 
  • Tsunami and earthquake hit Japan and I've shared a prayer for them. They still need our prayers for their recovery. Click here to see the prayer.
  • I've made my Fourth Place, my new blog site entitled Our Daily Bread Online where you can find different stories that will remind us of God's word. The website is http://ourdailybreadonlinebynica.blogspot.com. Take a minute or two in reading everyday's post and surely, you'll feel better and closer to God.
  • Me and my officemates discovered a new opened eat-all-you-can buffet restaurant near our office, the Tramway Hotel. Visit their website http://www.tramwaybuffet.com.
  • I revealed the Kamiseta's new face. It's Katie Holmes-Cruise! 
  • Lileth and I celebrated our first year at work. Cheers to the both of us! Thanks to our Broadcore Family! :)
I supposed to share this to you but because I am kind of busy, let me share you the following briefly:
  • The Oxford English Dictionary (OED)has added internet slang in its pages. The dictionary added new 900 words which include some internet "initialisms" (as how OED calls it) and a symbol for the for the first time. Included in the dictionary now are LOL (laugh at loud), BFF (best friend forever), IMHO (in my humble opinion), OMG (oh my God) and the symbol <3 (which is universally acknowledged in the internet as heart).
  • On the not-so-good side, 3 Filipino drug mules were executed in China yesterday, March 30. My condolences to their family. Let's include them in out prayers.

House From Up (movie), Now Exists In Real Life - And It Flies!

I just read about this last night at gizmodo.com and it made me feel like I wanna try to fly inside the house. It was just in my thoughts before (while I was watching the movie) and now it's for REAAAAL! Here's the article:
Jesus Diaz — This is really nuts. The people from National Geographic have built a house inspired by the Pixar movie Up! Yes, a house tied to gas balloons that actually flies. I'm so giddy I can barely type.

Sure, the 16 by 16 feet house is not a full house, but I don't care. It flies for real, thanks to three hundred weather balloons full of helium. The Up! house—which will be part of a new National Geographic TV series called How Hard Can It Be?—was 10 stories high, including the balloons. It reached 10,000 feet and flew for about one hour.
Update: The producers of the National Geographic series How Hard Can It Be?—which is premiering this fall—sent us a lot of new photos taken at the private airfield near Los Angeles, where it all happened.
