Jobs are stressful. So is unemployment. Not finding a partner is stressful. So is having one. Working in an office is stressful. So is working with your hands. Having 50 clients is stressful. So is having none. Life is full of trade-offs. Don’t romanticise options you don’t know.
‘IT’S THE NEXT GENERATION COMING.’ 🎾
Barbora Krejčíková had nothing but praise for Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala after their first-round matchup in the singles main draw at 2025 Wimbledon Championships.
#Wimbledon2025
FIRST IN PHILIPPINE TENNIS HISTORY! 🇵🇭
Filipina tennis sensation Alex Eala steps onto Wimbledon’s Centre Court on Tuesday, July 1, donning the tournament’s iconic all-white attire — a tradition that dates back to the 1800s and symbolizes the prestige and formality of the oldest Grand Slam in tennis.
Fresh off a breakthrough finals run at the Eastbourne Open that propelled her to a career-high world ranking of No. 56, Eala now faces her biggest challenge yet — going head-to-head with defending Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejčíková in the first round.
The match is currently ongoing.

Alex Eala became the first player to represent the Philippines at Wimbledon in the Open Era.
She took the defending singles champion Barbora Krejcikova to three sets in their first round match.
A lot to be proud of 🇵🇭
Funny how the busiest people always reply fastest. Asked my mentor and she said, letting things linger means you'll have a backlog to revisit, and delaying communication also holds up other people's work, which means efficiency is compromised. I've seen it. I believe it 🙂
Waist-deep floods, ruined houses, storm surges, lost lives: this is what November has looked like for the Philippines so far. With strong typhoons coming in and out of the country every week, people are becoming more and more weary of living a life in the midst of climate chaos.
The Philippines' vulnerability to climate change is more obvious now more than ever. And so we ask: who should pay for the damages? Who should be blamed for the worsening climate crisis?
