heatboyz05 Says:
You should re-learn the history why Rizal SHOULD be our national hero. PS: Bonifacio was one of the reasons why Rizal was executed.
MarcoEspanya Says:
Rizal died or executed in Luneta?
silviasboy Says:
Jose rizal shouldnt be a hero. He didnt di shit but hold his pen. Bonifacio ia hero. Hes a go at it guy killing much breathing spaniards in his time.

Oh it's probably not encouraged during meditation but have you ever wondered why the abbot has his hands in his big tunic all day long with that Buddha smile on his face?

Off the map? is there any such thing ? Send me a Vision just where that might be & why does the song come to mind 'Row Row Row your boat...Life is but a dream"
creatorsdream Says:
Well done mate! You deserve the time to clear and ponder the great life that you are living. I know you will get exactly what you desire. Question is what is it you desire? And... more importantly, things NOT TO DO that will get in the way of accomplishing your desires. Rest and be well...

Thanks Evan and Rachel. I talked about it a bit in the very long 'bushwalking with the overlander' video
EvannRachel Says:
Great video, Evan and I have really wanted to do one of those meditating trips. Sounds so refreshing, I'd love to hear your thoughts about it once you're done!
overlander Says:
You can do it all round the world Rosa, donation based. But it is intense, harder than walking the Camino
overlander Says:
thanks Rudy, the xf footage pops with the vibrancy filter
overlander Says:
thanks for the info
overlander Says:
we did plan that, but Nelson still looked a little stunned :)
overlander Says:
lol 'can you wank there' - I will try and answer you without grinning. It is probably not encouraged

10 day silent meditation sounds interesting, would like to hear about your personal experience. I would like to try that some day. Best of luck!! Thanks for that area's piece of history in your video.

No internet? Sounds like torcher... ;)

I love the silent treatment, I do it all the time when I work. No radio for 10 hrs a day, minimal contact with others. It's gas when you get to watch/listen to your mind babbling on like a woman about this that and nothing much. It helps you REALLY think from behind al the thoughts and random crap. Not to mention songs that play incessantly internally. Yeah, it's good to be weird. Only problem is you find other people intolerable more and more. Or maybe that's just me. Enjoy. Can you wank there?

Thanks Mark for another very interesting video. I look forward to each one and am never disappointed. Rudy in Ottawa

"Rizal wrote two books which helped inspire to the bloodless revolution against the Spanish colonists" It was a bloody revolution against the Spaniards. The bloodless one was against Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. Enjoy your stay in the Philippines! Cheers!
