A Modern Saint For A Modern World

St. Alberto Hurtado


"I hold that every poor man, every vagrant, every beggar is Christ carrying his cross. And as Christ, we must love and help him. We must treat him as a brother, a human being like ourselves. If we were to start a campaign of love for the poor and homeless, we would, in a short time, do away with depressing scenes of begging, children sleeping in doorways and women with babies in their arms fainting in our streets. "


St. Alberto Hurtado, SJ




   I believe that the greatest miracle is the acknowledgement of our own humanity and our ability to make this world a better place for all mankind.


Japan- Ultraman Seven

                       45th Anniversary Celebration of Ultraman TV                                                     Series




   



I bought this commemorative sheet while I was in Kyoto, Japan for a week  last November 2013. I have always been a fan of Japanese Super Sentai since the very first time I saw Gorangers or "Star Rangers" in the Philippines. The Ultraman series was non-existent in the Philippines during the 80s, but I have always seen stickers and Ultraman toys in the market.

The Little Tramp in Stamp


                                                          Charlie Chaplin



       Charlie Chaplin was a world-wide cinematic phenomenon. He rose from the era of silent movies to become a prolific actor and director. He would be a key founder of United Artists, a premier film distribution company, giving him total artistic control of his movies and projects.

       
        Probably, least known for his musical endeavor, Charlie Chaplin was a songwriter too. He penned "Smile" and "This Is My Song"- two great song standards.




"arguably the single most important artist produced by the cinema, certainly its most extraordinary performer and probably still its most universal icon" - Andrew Sarris, Film Critic
