The Calendar Clock


This is the first time I had seen a clock's plate with 31 numbers. Take the initiative to learn more of this Spanish artifact as seen in Intramuros Philippines. The 31 numbers represent the days of the month, it automatically changed in its course of rotation based on the day of the month like the 28th, 30th and 31st. For the antique collectors, the interest will take the chance of obtaining a unique calendar clock with 31 numbers in the outermost part of the plate.


The Historical Book of Jose Rizal

Our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal had contributed a lot of his writings and read by the students in the Philippines. The book "Noli Me Tangere" is one of my favorite to read when I was in secondary level. The insights and learnings are so remarkable to ponder, as described Filipino's lives during the Spanish colonization of our country. Luckily, we didn't read it in Spanish context as the original publication. Though it is transcribed in Filipino or in English language, the book is still part of the curriculum in schools. Looking back the time of reading this in high school, I ponder every words and realizing the real culture and tradition of my country.
