di ko pinagtatanggol yung gcash pero the reason why its expensive is obviously because of the brand. as in arirang tour and bts brand. that’s literally what you’re paying for here. kasi kasama yan sa licensing. mahal talaga yan hahahaha
Alex Eala says she associates a lot of her childhood memories with Manny Pacquiao, ‘When he would have fights, it would really be like holidays in the Philippines. We would gather and we would watch his fights. People would call off work’
“You’ve spoken a lot about Rafa Nadal’s influence on you. But I’m curious about the Filipino athletes you maybe looked up to?”
Alex: “Of course the kind of national hero in sports in the Philippines is Manny Pacquiao. He is the kind of first global athletic figure from the Philippines who I can remember and associate a lot of my childhood memories with. When he would have fights, it would really be like holidays in the Philippines. We would gather and we would watch his fights. And it would be, like, people would call off work. It would really be event. He is someone super inspiring as an athlete.”
Alex: “In recent years, Hidilyn Diaz, who won the first Olympic gold medal for the Philippines is a huge inspiration. That moment was incredible. Of course Carlos Yulo in the most recent Olympics won two gold medals. Amazing. EJ Obiena is the pole vaulter. He’s a good friend of my family and he likes tennis. So yeah there are so many people. I feel like the Filipinos have such great work ethic. We are really hard workers. When it counts, we can show up.”

Alex Eala speaking through tears after beating Iga Swiatek to become the first Filipino player in the Open Era to reach the 2nd week of a Slam at Wimbledon.
“How does it feel to be standing here after just defeating the defending champion on Centre court?”
Alex: “I don’t know how to describe it. I’m in the 2nd week of a slam. It’s amazing for me. Iga is a phenomenal player and a really nice person. I’m really grateful to be able to share Centre court with her at Wimbledon. I’m really emotional. Maybe for someone like Iga who’s won so many slams or someone like Serena or Venus, this achievement may seem small.. but for someone who grew up in the Philippines…” 🥹
*Alex begins to cry*
“I went to train with my brother and grandfather every day after school with my ruffled socks and shoes and my chubby cheeks. To her, this is everything.”

It feels like we’re entering a whole new “era” with Yoongi. A period where music is still at the center of everything, but now he’s actually living life alongside it not just performing it.
If you’re an anxious person, just do everything for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. ANXIETY FEEDS ON IMPORTANCE. Do not make everything a matter of life and deaťh.
Eala d. Iga Swiatek 7-6(9) 6-2

Chanterio total: resulta que después del escándalo por el “informe técnico” del gobierno que indicaba que el Nacional sería el único estadio del mundo donde hacer el concierto de BTS lo destruiría, ahora Duco dice que lo autoriza siempre y cuando la productora “incorpore una estructura tipo mecano que distribuya las cargas y proteja la cancha”. El tema es que circulan muchos videos que demuestran que el escenario de BTS ya viene con esa estructura…
