WELCOME TO MY SITE AND HAVE A GOOD DAY

If this is your first time in this site, welcome. It has been my dream that my province, Marinduque, Philippines becomes a world tourist destination not only during Easter Week but also whole year round. You can help me achieve my dream by telling your friends about this site. The photo above is your own private beach at The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort. The sand is not as white as Boracay, but it is only a few steps from your front yard and away from the mayhem and crowds of Boracay. I have posted some of my favorite Filipino and American dishes and recipes on this site also. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringement of your copyrights. Cheers!

Do You Want to Meet Your Doppelgänger? Newton's Noise Level Update


Former President Barack Obama and his Doppelganger -Ilham Anaz from Java-Photo Credit; The Guardian.com

When I was in Graduate school at the University of Illinois (1960-1964-photo below) in Chicago, one of my classmates informed me that he has a friend in Hawaii who looked exactly like me. 

I was humored and forgot about it, until I read the following article published by CNN as follows:   

You have a doppelganger and probably share DNA with them, new study suggests

A doppelganger is a mysterious, exact double of a living person. It's a German word that literally translates to "double walker" or "double goer". A doppelganger isn't someone who just resembles you, but is an exact double, right down to the way you walk, act, talk, and dress. Your doppelganger may or not be related to you.

According to the website at the bottom of this page, all of us have a double who looks exactly like us and are not related but may share some common DNA.

With the advent of social media, there have been several reported cases of people finding their "twin stranger" online, a modern term for a doppelgänger. There are several websites where users can upload a photo of themselves and facial recognition software attempts to match them with another user of like appearance. Some of these sites report that they have found numerous living doppelgängers

Would you be interested in meeting your doppelganger? I am if someone helps me with the facial recognition software mentioned in the article above and apps below.

Meanwhile, I was able to talk again to Rachel Ryan(THD CFO) the other day, regarding the noise level at Newton's. I told her there was a suggestion to perhaps carpet the floors and installed Draperies in the windows to reduce the noise level during dinner meal times when the restaurant is full. Ms Ryan said she will look into it. Again this is benefits versus expense issue which may be not attainable, But I will keep my fingers crossed. Meantime, if you want to avoid the noise inside Newton's at dinner come early at 4:30PM or later at 6:10PM (or occupy early (4:45PM) the tables outdoors during good weather. Several Residents order their Food and partake it in their apartments to avoid the noise most of the time. For Details visit:
