I have never heard of the CNN Hero of the Year until today. What is the CNN Hero of the Year? Most importantly, who is Efren Peñaflorida? As I read about all the answers to these questions in this article, I am humbled by Efren's work. Truly, he is the change that this world needs to be.

"I Missed the Leonid Meteor Shower"
Did anybody see the Leonid Meteor Shower? I'm so busy lately that when I get home I just take my dinner and just sleep early. Oh, I really feel terrible especially when I heard that in Asia it would be like 500 meteors per hour at its peak- which was last November 18, 2009!
I remember when I was younger, my sister and I along with my Dad would just stare up the sky and wait for "wishing stars" to fall from the sky. Who would have thought those times would stick to me even after I'm all grown up.
Well, for the rest of us who missed the meteor shower, there might still be hope as they say the Leonid Meteor Shower can be seen until November 20, 2009. I also found this helpful site from NASA with a calculator called Fluxtimator or Flux Estimator which can calculate the expected meteor shower rate wherever you may be. For now, I just look at this beautiful photo by Navicore.
