What Mexicans Did During Typhoon Harvey

There were a lot of things anyone can do during a typhoon. You can probably imagine someone very scared trying to hide under the bed waiting for the storm to stop. Well, staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston, Texas have different things in mind. Just recently, typhoon Harvey hits Texas, it flooded a huge area in Houston alone. Those staff at the Mexican Bakery were trapped inside the chain for two days and what have they done, is truly amazing. No hurricane, typhoon, or tropical storm, in all of recorded history, has dropped as much water on a single major city as Hurricane Harvey. The National Weather Service has had to create a new scale to accurately depict how much rain has fallen, as a few locations have crested the three foot mark since the Hurricane first made landfall.

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan.

Samuel Alexander Armas: A True Story

Who is Samuel Alexander Armas? What is his story and why he became famous? Samuel was born on December 28, 1999 by a couple Julie and Alex Armas. He was diagnosed to have a rare medical anomaly called Spina Bifida, where during his development stage as a fetus, his backbone failed to develop and as a result, his left spinal chord is exposed. There's no way he can survive it unless he undergo operation, he was then only 21 weeks old. Imagine that he should be operated while inside her mother's womb. His birth united medical advancement, world's view on abortion and faith. And this is his story... Take a good look at this picture. It's one of the most remarkable photographs ever taken. The tiny hand of a fetus reaches out from a mother's womb to clasp a surgeon's healing finger. It is, by the way, 21 weeks old, an age at which it could still be legally aborted. The tiny hand in the picture above belongs to a baby which is due to be born on December 28 [1999

God's Chest: Inspired by True Events

As I took a quick glance on the clock hanging on the wall just in front of me, I was a bit surprised that it's almost 5 in the morning. I've been sitting here for about 5 hours. The rain starts to fall. For no reason at all, other than just browse the net and look for something I don't even know what it is, I started looking for some stories based on true events. I don't even know but I want to read something inspirational. I wanted to share something inspirational. One story caught my attention, and one thing lead to another, I started typing anything hoping that this story could reach as many as it can... It moved me, and I know you will too... Read on...
