Chaos, guns fired inside the Senate building. Checked my staff, they’re all safe. Thank God no reports of casualties or injuries. Next thing to do is investigate to find out who fired his/their gun/s, at whom and most importantly, the motive.
Today, Ceejay, God wants you to know that each day is a day in the making.
At any moment, you can make a different choice about what you are doing, how you are feeling, and what you are focusing on. It is never too late to start over and make new choices.
I express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been hit by a violent typhoon: I pray for the deceased and their families, as well as for the injured and displaced.

The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.
Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video. Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.
Senate presidency, etc. Once, there was one. Then, there were two. Now, there are three, upon the entry of Sen Marcos. Each one claiming, hoping they have the numbers. Disinformation and all, only one must be telling the truth, which will present itself when the 20th Congress opens on July 28.
Next: Will the impeachment trial cross over?
To all those who directly or indirectly campaigned, assisted and supported my 90-day senatorial campaign - big time, small time, active and passive - maraming salamat sa inyong lahat. In case we make it on Monday, I pledge to continue serving with utmost honesty and integrity.

<Final Episode of “Kian's Bizarre B&B” – On Hospitality>
I saw BTS making tofu rice.
From that moment on, I couldn’t hold back my tears. I thought, “So this day has finally come��”
(If you’ve known me a long time, you already know this—)
I did my first master’s degree in North Korean Studies. It all began when I volunteered at an alternative school for North Korean defector students during my undergraduate years. That was back in 2004, and since then I’ve come to know many young people from the North through different paths. I continued to work in this field—as a researcher, a journalist—and stayed close to the stories of friends who had come from North Korea. I will calll them my brothers and sisters from now on, as I always done.
Listening to their unimaginable hardships and how they made it all the way to South Korea, I came to realize that unification, to me, wasn’t something grand or abstract. It simply meant letting these younger brothers and sisters from the North reunite with their families and visit their hometowns again.
When I visited their homes in South Korea or when my church hosted national holiday events, they would always make tofu rice. Honestly, the sauce was so spicy that someone like me, who can’t handle spicy food, couldn’t eat much of it (they’d laugh at me for this), but watching them carefully prepare this labor-intensive dish and proudly pack up the milder version for me to take home—those moments made me feel so loved.
In return, I’d invite them over to my place during national holidays, fry some jeon (Korean pancakes), share a meal, and talk about South Korean holiday customs. I still remember those moments so clearly.
So when I saw Choongil being embraced with such hospitality in the final episode of The Kian's Bizarre B&B, I just cried and cried.
One of my dreams when I started grad school was that someday, people from the North and South could meet without prejudice, accept the differences in each other’s lives, and simply say, “Wow, you’ve really been through a lot. You’ve endured it all with strength. That’s amazing.”
That was my dream.
And I saw that dream come true in the final episode of Kian's Bizarre B&B.
The reality is, South Korean society still tends to keep its distance when someone is identified as a North Korean defector. The stares get colder. That’s why many of them don’t speak about where they’re from.
So when I saw Choongil openly talk about his hometown and his defection journey, and the way Seokjin treated him—without an ounce of prejudice, just calling him “my friend” with ease, even calling him "honey" as a joke, gifting him his sunglasses, joking around so naturally—I couldn’t stop crying.
And the way Kian who is the manager made him tofu rice with such care—it was all too much.
Everything I’d dreamed of for so long was captured in that show.
In the way Seokjin and Kian welcomed Choongil, I saw the “hospitality” of this new hometown of his—South Korea.
(I’m crying again as I write this…)
Truly, thank you Seokjin.
Just being at the heart of that moment of hospitality—
I feel like I owe you a debt of love I can never repay.
So be prepared—I’ll be showering you with my love for life!
The feeling lingers so deeply tonight, I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep.
I need to tell my younger bothers and sisters from the North to binge-watch Kian's Bizarre B&B ASAP.
And with that, a lifelong ARMY who will always stan Seokjin signs off.
HELLO GUYS! THIS IS JUST FOR AWARENESS LANG‼️ (rt will be much appreciated to share this)
So, I took j*yride papunta manda and bigla kami hinarang ng checkpoint around kalentong. Akala ko huhuliin si kuya rider and pinababa ako pero it was only for my awareness as a passenger. +
