Have you ever heard that story about all children having a guardian angel watching over them? Maybe you thought it was a myth, just a story to keep parents from going insane with worry. But when you see cases like this on in the video below, you’re just a little closer in believing in angels and thank God for them!

A Pantene commercial made me cry. Not because my hair has lost its luster or because my hair has become thin; it’s because this is one of the most moving commercials I have seen ever. It’s absolutely brilliant. It could be a movie!

This is a Pantene commercial from Thailand and it is about a deaf and mute girl who learns to play the violin when everyone told her it was impossible. Tell me what you think:

I was born in the mountains. The mountain city of Baguio in the Philippines, to be exact. Although I was only there for the first decade of my life, it has indelibly stamped itself into my psyche as home. When people ask me where I’m from, this is the first city that comes to mind before I realize they really meant where do I live now as opposed to where I was born.

On September 1st, Baguio will celebrate its 100th year as a city and various celebrations are being planned to commemorate this event stretching into the end of this year.

For a short history of the city, here is the condensed version from the Baguio Centennial website:

Baguio city, Benguet prov., NW Luzon, the Philippines. Baguio is the summer capital of the country. Originally settled by the Spanish, Baguio developed only after the American occupation, when a modern city was laid out (1909) by Daniel H. Burnham and roads were built (the first in 1913) to connect it with the main highways. The city was captured early (Dec., 1941) in World War II by Japanese land forces. Baguio City was established by Americans in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. Baguio City was designated by the Philippine Commission as the Summer Capital of the Philippines on June 1, 1903 and incorporated as a city by the Philippine Assembly on September 1, 1909. There is a presidential mansion, as well as supreme court and legislative offices in Baguio. Baguio is the seat of government of the Cordillera Administrative Region. The name of the city is derived from the word bagiw in Ibaloi, the indigenous language of the Benguet Region, meaning ‘moss’. The city is at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters (5100 ft) in a moist tropical pine forest conducive to the growth of mossy plants and orchids.

This kid obviously has issues and so does the brother or whoever he is, who secretly video taped this tantrum then posted it on YouTube. It is funny in an unfunny kind of way, if you know what I mean. Before I say anything else about this behavior, why don’t you tell me what you think first?
