Kung akala mong wala nang pag-asa ang Philippine cinema, akala mo lang 'yun pero meron, meron, meron!

Watched Firefly tonight & loved it. ANG GANDA!!! Walang tapon, walang sayang. Definitely worth our hard-earned money.

5 stars.

The Bajau Tribe, also known as sea nomads, originates from the Sulu Archipelago in the Philippines, among other areas in Southeast Asia. Renowned for their remarkable free-diving skills, they sustain themselves mainly through activities like spearfishing in the sea.

Studies have shown that the Bajau people possess a genetic adaptation commonly referred to as the "sea nomad gene." This genetic variant often results in larger spleen sizes among the Bajau, potentially aiding in their ability to hold their breath for extended periods while diving. This physical adaptation is thought to be advantageous for their exceptional free-diving lifestyle.

Dear Slater Young and DENR,

You said you want to make sure your design of Monterrazas: The Rise “to be as sustainable as possible” because you are building on a mountain side.

Three questions. A thread 🧵

[Hurbeigh @harvs_count]

Hot take: unless McDo’s promo clearly stated “until supplies last”, I can’t see why this is a big deal? They have a right to complain as a consumer.

So what is the issue - that they can write quite well, or that they complained over a 25-peso burger? Either way, so what?

Weekends shouldn’t be time to recover. They should be time to rejoice.

Burnout cultures exhaust us through the week and force us to recharge on the weekends. Healthy cultures provide daily space to refuel.

Places that continually deplete our energy don’t serve our well-being.

Ang hassle naman maging pedestrian sa @MakeItMakati. Tatawid ka na lang ng kalye — mga ten steps na diretsong lakad lang — pero kailangan mo pa mag-underpass.

Para ba sa safety? Nope. Para sa convenience ng mga sasakyan. Kayang ligtas na tumawid na walang inaakyat na hagdanan.

[pusitnamasungit (sad gh0rl version) @PusitnaMasungit]

Nung tumawid din ako minsan sa isang street sa Paris, na-weirduhan yung kasama kong French bakit ako nagmamadali. Sabi ko na lang it’s a Filipino habit, para bang sagabal kasi ang feeling namin kapag may mga sasakyan kami na nahaharang. Alam nyo kung anong sabi nya?
