Snakes on a Plane, on the cover of
Entertainment Weekly (August 4, 2006).
Notice Jackson’s quote on his left:
“I’ve had it with these motherfucking snakes
on this motherfucking plane!”

Picture Trivia



          In 2006, Samuel L(eroy) Jackson starred in the film Snakes on a Plane as FBI agent Neville Flynn. Do you know how many snakes were used in the film? Around 450 different species of snakes, including a 22-foot Burmese python that the production crew nicknamed “Kitty.” Most of the snakes you’ll see in the film, however, were added digitally.

          It was also in 2006 when Jackson starred in the film Black Snake Moan. It has, however, nothing to do with snakes, and the title of the film was only taken from the song of American blues singer and guitarist “Blind” Lemon Jefferson in 1927. In this film, Jackson played the role of Lazarus, a former blues musician who was deserted by his wife. The story revolves around Lazarus helping a young girl, Rae (Christina Ricci), long being abused by her parents.

ALAM MO BA 'TO?

(Do You Know This?)

Ang Buwan ng Agosto

          Ang Agosto o August ang pangwalong buwan ng taon. Noong panahon ng Kalendaryong Romano (Roman Calendar), ito ay tinawag na Sextilis o ang Pang-anim na buwan. Bagama’t naging ikawalong buwan ito nang baguhin ni Julius Caesar (c. 100 – 44  B.C.) ang lumang kalendaryo noong 44 B.C., nanatili ang tawag na Sextilis. Noong 27 B.C., si Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (63 B.C. – A.D. 14), ang inampong grandnephew ni Julius Caesar at humalili sa kaniya sa pamumuno sa Roma, ay pinarangalan at tinatawag na “Augustus” o “ang dakila.” Sa pangalang Augustus Caesar higit siyang nakilala sa kasaysayan. Mula rin sa pangalang ito, pinalitan ang tawag sa Sextilis na August bilang parangal sa kaniya.

          Sa Pilipinas, ang Agosto ay buwan ng Moro-Moro at Sumbali festivals. Sa buwan ding ito ipinagdiriwang ang Linggo ng Wikang Pambansa.

          Nang sinaunang panahon, ang Carnelian ang birthstone para sa buwan ng Agosto. Sa modernong panahon tatlo ang kinikilalang birthstones na sumasagisag sa buwang ito – moonstone, sardonyx at peridot. Ang poppy naman ang flower of the month.

The August 1, 1988 cover of Time
illustrating “Our Filthy Seas,”
how pollution is threatening sea life.

Picture Trivia

          More than 20 million tons of garbage are being disposed and deposited in different bodies of water throughout the world every year. This single act is killing rivers, lakes and even the world’s seas and oceans. This is the main cause of pollution of the underground aquifers, which are the world’s sources of drinking water. This is also polluting shorewaters, which is the cause of red tide, fish kill, and destruction of coral reefs, and now threatens sea life itself.
