Hongkong Crisis - It Now Involved Terrorism

5-minute read


There are other things to worry in our country but i couldn’t help to be disheartened on the current crisis that Hongkongers (citizens) are going through.  The account of real time danger they are having now is harrowing; that even with the coldest of hearts could fall into unspeakable surprise by how the authorities are treating these citizens.

Here’s a graphical description of how they are terrorized. A picturesque of suffering, pain and pleadings of mercy especially when the OP (original poster) mentioned that these innocent folks who were not rallying/protesting knelt and beg the assaulters to stop.




This reddit post reflects a raw, unfiltered experience of a Hongkong Citizen; trying to voice the severe condition they are in and at the same time, trying to move the reader to at least do something in any way they can to appease and help their current situation.

I chose to post this in my blog because it feels that i am obligated upon my knowledge of this piece of truth to share to my audience no matter how big or small my followers are that somehow somewhere, a part of a nation in this earth is at a stake of difficult time. A state that life and death are the major players bestowed to each individual. Where no one can tell that any moment, any second, their lives have been or spared or they have already breathed their last.

2019 Is The Last Year That Ends With "teen" For The Rest Of Our Lives



The title says it all.

Now I've got you counting in your head on the years that has "teen" on it.

Believe it or not, sadly enough - yes this is the only year that has the "teen" on a pronunciation basis and even in writing. Gone are the years (starting next year) for the "teen" suffixes.

August 2019 Challenge (with s) - updated

(3-minute read)


I was skeptic at first if i can achieve my August Apple Watch Goal the day i saw it last August 1. I couldn't believe it's a distance tracking challenge - 88.6 miles!!! Skeptic because it's the wet season in the Philippines, neither i have a gym membership at the moment nor a covered court where i can run or walk or to pace a distance at least.

Yes - that's 143 kilometers in total for the whole month. So i have to depend mostly during non-rainy days where i can go outside to run and jog either inside our village or afterwork and run the miles in Daang Reyna.




Aside from the unpredictable weather which i must seek to perform my walk, run and jog exercise, i have to consider my availability - it was at this month also where a whole lot of work-related projects eat my time before and after-work hours; not to mention that weekends have also been spent to render extra, just so these work-related activities are transitioned smoothly.

Some friends have been sharing their side remarks - "do you still have personal life?" - I DO. I make it a point that my church duties too, aren't sacrificed; it was great we have multiple schedules where i can flex and see through the completion of my priorities.

So, i checked today my remaining distance to complete, and i'm left with roughly 6 miles. I'm heading towards positivity that i would make it.

One of the reasons why i have to blog it, to see the momentum run continuously, that will serve me a reminder to finish this task, no matter how challenged-ly difficult it may see. I have to finish it!


I shall post the award as soon as this race is over.


^update


Look at that:

(PS: I wanted to thank my select few friends who sent their gifts and spent some quality time with me on my birthday - pretty much elated by the short but well-conversed company at different levels; until next year)

Ken Lee (Without You)


Sa tingin ko mas nauna tong Ken Lee na to na nagviral bago ang "I buruf I Can Fry".




These are some facts after the viral video breakin the internet bandwidth:
  • Valentina Hassan - full name
  • Valentina has really thought that the title of the song is Ken Lee (initially)
  • Pure Joke - this was her inspiration prior to auditioning in Bulgaria Idol (see her interview in Spanish TV after she went viral) 
  • Mariah Carey's list of songs to sing in her CAUTION Tour includes Ken Lee (see video below with her funny acknowledgment that Without You has been dubbed as Ken Lee)
