The Philippines first joined the Olympics in 1924, exactly a hundred years ago. In Paris.

I love the symmetry in Carlos Yulo's historic win.

13th Filipino to win an Olympic medal in a century. First to win for Gymnastics. Second Gold for the nation.

Some days I need me a drink.

Today is a babies and dogs kinda day. I need me a chubby baby or a fluffy puppy.

FORESTS: OUR NATURAL AIRCONDITIONERS 🍃🌳
—
Local forests in and around cities can lower surface and air temperatures through shading and evapotranspiration, dramatically reducing the need for air conditioning and enhancing urban livability. (1/2)

I literally lived next door to Anne and her family in Barangka Drive. She is the real deal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

And this grief is unprecedented. The only loved ones I have lost thus far are my grandparents, and two men I loved dearly (one to suicide, the other to the ocean). Shadow's death hits different because she and I belonged to each other. She slept next to me for 16 years.

[Jude A. Bacalso @JudeBacalso]

I got Shadow when I was 34, what seems like a lifetime ago. Different circumstances, different me. She was the runt of the litter, and I was a first time furmom.

I lost her a few weeks ago, at the ripe age of 16. To old age and inevitability. God I miss you, my love.

[Jude A. Bacalso @JudeBacalso]

And the guilt of euthanasia is weighing heavily on my heart, to be honest. I cradled her when they injected, and I felt her last heartbeat. Her erratic heart, silenced. The finality of that reality has broken me. I know I did the right thing, but it eats at me still.

@urwithsnoogie Hay ma, ambot ani!

Palliative care and multiple organ failure were in the same sentence as Shadow, my beloved 16-year-old mixed terrier.

I won't be ok in the next few days.

Your life is your size. Do not minimize it.

Got that gem from an 18-year-old.
