If you could experience one moment in history what would it be? I'm always fascinated by world war 2 and i like to be there during the start of Japanese occupation of my country. together with the Chinese no nation has suffered more than us Filipinos form the Japanese brutal regime. I'm not saying I would enjoy it but I would like to see the heroism of Filipino-American forces in Bataan and Corregidor, their resilient resolve to survive the Death March, the raid at Cabanatuan and the final surrender of the Japanese. I just hope I don't get to see beheadings, rapes, mutilation and starvation, just courage and patriotism of soldiers against a more powerful and brutal enemy. I think it would be cool to be in that bus when the black woman refused to give up her seat for the white man during the civil rights era. I'll kick that white man's rear end and say, " What have you done that make you so proud as white? Genbocide? TV Sitcoms? Morbid as it sounds but I would like to be there during the JFK assasination.

Well, in my opinion, I would like to be in the ancient times, when Greece, Sparta and the new-born Rome were still in their times of golden glory, gazing upon and praying to the Olympus. When ancient philosophers though about the things that surround them and wars were made mainly for the pride and glory of the nation. That's what I would like to experience, because...This...is...SPARTA!! (Never will get tired of that, seriously).
