Banaag and Rizal Link

As I was looking for hits on the internet for "Banaag", I came across the genealogy of Rizal's family here. It turns out that one of Jose Rizal's nieces, the daughter of Maria Rizal, was married to a Banaag.


Francisco Mercado + Teodora Alonso
- Maria Rizal + Daniel Faustino Cruz (of Biñan, Laguna)
-- Encarnacion Rizal Cruz + Rosendo Banaag
--- Simeon Banaag
--- Mercedes Banaag
--- Clemencia Banaag
--- Paz Banaag
--- Maria Banaag

I have been very much interested in tracing my lineage back to my ancestors, and it sparked my curiosity to look for more information if our family lines would meet. How cool would that be?

My lead would be from Rosendo Banaag or Simeon Banaag, down the line, since the Banaag surname should have survived up to my generation.

New Books For My Collection

I'm excited! Just got me three new (meaning unread my me) books by author Len Deighton.

Just recently, I have acquired these two other books:

Guess I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty (literally) digging through books in used books stores.

Hope I get some free time to read these great books!

Easy Friday: Baby I'm-A Want You - Bread

From the album "Baby I'm-A Want You" (1971)

Intro: C#m7-Bm- (2x)

A
Baby I'm-a want you

Bm
Baby I'm-a need you

           C#m7                      D
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about.

Bm
Maybe I'm-a crazy

      E
But I just can't live without

     A
Your loving and affection

Bm
Giving me direction

       C#m7                                D
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour.

Bm
Lately I'm-a praying

            C#m7                  E
That you'll always be a-staying beside me

Chorus:

C#m7                                 Bm
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by

C#m7                                   Bm
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why


Adlib: A-Bm-C#m7-D-

Bm
Lately I'm-a praying
            E                    A
That you'll always be a-staying beside me

Chorus:

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by

Then you came around and made me laugh and made me cry

You taught me why...

Baby I'm-a want you


Baby I'm-a need you

Oh it took so long to find you baby

Baby I'm-a want you


Baby I'm-a need you... (fade)
