My beautiful mother said she wants me to have a successful life someday. That is her only dream for me; she keeps on telling me that. She also said that if she had a choice, she wanted me to become powerful. So she told me that she wanted the name Adolf, the most powerful leader in world history, for me. But, my father disagreed for he is pro-Jews and he hated the name. That's why they just named me Aaron (the great).
Once upon a time, an innocent baby, who was to conquer the globe, was born in Austria, Germany. That day was 20th of April 1889. His parents, Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl, had no vision what their son would become. The two only cared about their affair. Klara was Alois' second cousin and his third wife. Young Adolf carried his mother's maiden name until one circumstance changed it into Hitler. Then, the great conquering began. He died on the 30th of April 1945.
I have watched Schindler's List by Steven Spielberg, and the film was really heart-warming. I couldn't do anything but feel pity for the Jews who were showered with gas, imprisoned in gas chambers, and forced to parade naked. Watching the movie made me realize that this Nazi is a cold blooded party. Okay, enough of this drama. Let's go to Spielberg. He's the best director I've ever known. I always want to do movies like his. I wish I could have lived during the holocaust so that I could have recorded the event live. That way, I could have been the main source of Spielberg's film.

If you're looking for a name that has a famous or classy aura, Ryan has it. This name comes from a Gaelic word that has two meanings: “king” and “water”. It is among the popular names in different places nowadays. Its variants include Rian, Rion, Ryon, Rien, Ryen, and Ryun. There are many famous Hollywood celebrities who have Ryan as their name like Ryan Philippe, Ryan Sandberg, and Ryan O'neal.

Ryan ranks number 49th among 1219 male names that include all ages during 1990. This statistics show that it is a well-known first name in America. I remember this one girl back in college. This girl was so pretty and popular. Well, her name was Ryanne. But I code-named her as Rain because she was like the rain to me. She gave me shivers when she passed by. And like rain, she was also cold to me.

If your name is Ryan, then you must be living in Australia, England, Canada, Ireland, or Scotland. You might also be living just about anywhere because Ryan's undeniably a popular first name. It's also popular as a girl name or as a surname. Take for instance Meg Ryan. You can choose Ryan if you also want to be popular. People, whose name is Ryan, are lively and outgoing. Perhaps this is because of its royal meaning.

 Ball is an American family name that originates from the word, "bal" that refers to "hill top". Bal is a Cornish-Welsh word and the Ball surname was probably used by Ball ancestors who lived about a rounded hill. The Gaelic meaning of bal that originates from the word "baile" is village or a castle. In addition, bal as a Middle-English word is a description of a bald person. But some people say that Ball is a short-cut of Baldwin.
Thursday, May 10. 2007
Ball started at Tussingham and years after the Ball family line arose in Stafford, Chester, Derby, Devon, Lancashire, and Lincoln. However, there was a name of Godwin Balle in London in 1137. In 1183, Norman Balle lived in Northampton. The name Ball was also recorded in Virginia during 1600's. William Ball brought a famous vellum painting to Virginia where authorities found the popular coat of arms in 1680. Francis Ball came from the land of England all the way to Massachusettes in the year 1639. In 1643, Allen Ball was in Connecticut. You may ask what those things are all about. Well, I was just trying to point out that the family name Ball has reached different parts of the globe over the years.

Surnames are important for every lineage's identity, that is, for history. But, for the government a surname is important because it helps in organizing the people of a country. Some people are curious why women are required to use male surnames. Well, this is how the world goes. We all have to deal with it. On the other hand, I'm not really sure how our ancestors chose our corresponding surname, and it would be interesting to discover it. Meanwhile, I still have to research on that.

We all know that the persona of Jacob was more Godly and studious than Esau because Esau was more of a sinner icon. Many moms like to name their first born son as Jacob. The common reason of mothers is they want their son to adapt Jacob's personality. This name is biblical and many parents get names from the Bible for their son to grow up as a good child.

Jacob is of Hebrew origin, "Yaʿaqov," that means "heel". Do you know why? Because when Rebeccah was giving birth, Jacob was holding the heel of Esau. The two are twins born to Issac and Rebeccah. Jacob was more successful than Esau since the latter was drowned in cardinal sins like murder, idolatry, and adultery. On the other hand, Jacob's children divided Israel into 12 tribes. Because of Jacob's roots in Israel, we all expect the entire land, as a Holy land, to be the center of piece on Earth, don't we?

 Jacob came from Isaac, son of Abraham. This holy family reigned in Israel for many years. Aside from that, there are many propehecies about Israel that make us believe it's a sacred place. However, current situations don't say the same thing. In the recent bombing of Israel on Lebanon, it has killed several children. These people, Israeli, are said to be the descendants of Jacob who was tasked to spread peace on Earth. But, what happened to most of the Lebanese children now? Cold and dead.

Do you believe in God? There are some believers of God who don't believe in saints. These are other religions that believe in God but don't believe in saints. I won't mention them anymore out of respect. Anyway, if you're a Roman Catholic, I'm sure you believe in saints. In fact, most probably, your mother has a patron saint. Who's your patron saint?

Jude is a variant name for Judas (not that traitor of Jesus, if you're thinking of him). And, Judas comes from the Hebrew name, Yehudah, which means "praised." Judah is among the Jacob's 12 sons. The tribe that led the Exodus or the escape of people from Egypt comes from the tribe of Judah (Old Testament). Among the descendents of Judah are Jesus and King David. Jude is also the name of one martyr, St. Jude Thaddeus, who annointed Christ after His death.
Thursday, May 3. 2007
 St. Jude Thaddeus has been my patron saint since college. He's the patron saint of the hopeless with regards to money, study, love life, and other dreams. I've already proven St. Jude Thaddeus' miracle when he granted my three wishes.These are: passing my Mathematics subject in college (what can I do? I'm not good at numbers!), filling up my piggy bank to overflowing, and meeting someone with whom I would like to spend the rest of my life.

Nowadays, Hollywood has an overwhelming pool of actors and actresses. Although most of them are Americans, there are also foreign talents that have penetrated Hollywood over the years. Some of these foreign actors and actresses are praised for consistently superb performances. For instance, we have the talented Nicole Kidman and Academy award-winning actor Russel Crowe. Don't forget Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackson. These are Australians who have survived Hollywood and who continue to live up to everyone's expectations. However, let's admit it: there are actors and actresses who are plain gorgeous but lacks the depth and sensitivity to be an actor.

Actors and actresses have their own ways to attack a certain role. They have to dig for that talent to come up with a great performance. There are those who go overboard and there are those who are effortless. Among the actors that I have watched, I have never seen anyone as natural and as versatile as Johnny Depp. Imagine, he can go comedy as what he did in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and he can also do action scenes just like in Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
Monday, April 30. 2007
We all know how versatile Johnny Depp is. Today, a new name has been associated with him. It is the name of a pirate that most us are familiar with, and that name is Captain Jack Sparrow. Nowadays, Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow are identical. When I saw the two "Pirates" films, I cannot imagine another actor who could portray the role any better. The role simply fits him. In fact, the director said in an interview that he allowed Johnny to make his own interpretation of the role. It came out great.

Our new neighbor, Emilio, is a Spanish-American and a music teacher. My kids love him because he teaches them piano lessons for free. My dad likes him because he gives him rolls of tobacco for free. Emilio has a long, crooked nose, wrinkled face, and soft blue eyes. The kids consider him as their grandpa, and parents like me look up to him as our second father. If I'm not mistaken, his family is staying in Spain for good, but he still visits them during holidays.
Saturday, April 28. 2007
 Emilio is derived from another Portuguese and Spanish name which is Emil. It is actually Aemilius or aemilus in Latin that means "rival". There are so many Emilios in the world that gave significant contributions to history, arts, science, and fashion. Emilio Segre is an Italian-born American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in physics on 1959 with his partner Owen Chamberlain for the discovery of the antiproton. Emilio Pucci is a member of the Italian Parliament and a fashion designer.

"Dad, this is heavy, really. Is this wine?" I carried the box in my arms and felt that the box's base was wet. I touched the liquid and tasted it -- it's both sour and bitter. "That's a Neapolitan Mastiff. That's Rupert!" Dad snapped back, with a malicious grin plastered on his face. "So where did you buy this Rupert brandy thing?" I asked again, curious about my dad's alcoholism. Dad's face turned brick red, then he said, "That's not wine, son. Rupert's a dog!"
Wednesday, April 25. 2007
Who on earth would give a dog that royal name! Yeah, Rupert is a famous name given to boys born to a royal family. It is actually the German version of the name Robert which means "bright fame". But our new dog isn't exactly bright. Have you seen George Bush's face when he learned about Gore's movie? That's what our dog looks like. He always wears that I'm-nobody's-pet facial expression. Talk about moody dogs! My dad still finds him cute though.
Tuesday, April 24. 2007
Aside from our dog, there are many popular others borne with that good name. Gordon Rupert Dickson is a world-renowned writer of science fiction novels like Tactics of Mistake, and Soldier, Ask Not. Keith Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-born newspaper publisher and founder of the News Corporation, Ltd. Rupert Everett Billingham is an American immunologist and transplant researcher who helped conduct an experiment on skin grafting to treat animals. We also have Rupert Grint, the young star of Harry Potter films.

 Garfield is Jim Davis' belligerent feline character who loves lasagna more than he loves his master (or slave) Jon Arbuckle. If you're a cartoon lover like me, you'll definitely think that Mr. Davis has lost his marbles for creating such a wild-mannered cat. Anyway, I'm not writing about Garfield here. I'm more interested with creator's family name than the critter. Davis is a wildly-known family in the United States.
Sunday, April 22. 2007
Jim Robert Davis is a popular cartoonist who created the world's most beloved comic strip about the lazy cat, funny dog, and their mild-tempered master. Davis is a family name derived from the first name David which means "beloved". I'm not sure if there are people who are born with Davis as their first name. But I'm sure there are lots of men and women born with that family name.
Saturday, April 21. 2007
Most guys borne with the family name Davis love the music and arts. Sir Colin Rex Davis is an English conductor and premier interpreter of the Hector Berlioz. He first became an assistant conductor of the BBC Scottish Orchestra before he became a world-renowned musical genius. Ossie Davis is a popular actor, director, and social activist who delivered the eulogy at Malcolm X's funeral and repeated it for the movie Malcolm X.
