Mango Says Bite Me
by allancarreon on Jul.15, 2016, under Snark, Society
God made Philippine mangoes, and it was good.
Run!
Hide!
Flee to the hills!
Chinese social media users have, oh my goddess of mercy, threatened to boycott Filipino mangoes because of the Hague ruling regarding the West Philippine Sea!
This will, like, destroy our economy and everything! We’ll have no more means to sustain our growth and development! I see starvation! I see hunger! Pestilence is coming! Perhaps even a well-orchestrated locust swarm!

Storming of the Bastille, by Jean-Pierre-Louis-Laurent Houel
Today, France celebrates Bastille Day.
Bastille Day (which they actually call La Fête Nationale or, less formally, Le Quatorze Juillet because we non-French are just not cultured enough) commemorates the Fall of the Bastille Saint-Antoine in 1789, which signalled the start of the French Revolution, as well as Fête de la Fédération, which celebrates the unity of the French in 1790 exactly one year after the famous fortress was stormed.
“Sea” You Around, China.

Dear China,
Love,
The Philippines
P.S. Whether they abide by the ruling or not, or whether we can actually enforce it or not given that they are a superpower supported by idiots while we are but a small developing country, it is immaterial. The important thing is that the international community has strongly rebuked a growing and arrogant bully.

At least Gracie Hart was trying to stop a bomb.

May we never be reminded of those hairstyles and moustaches ever again. Unless you are Burt Reynolds, David Bowie, or MacGyver.
Yup, that’s all I noticed in this video.

Andre, me, Robin
My besties and I have this habit of impromptu drives out of town. Sometimes we go to places nearby, sometimes practically Narnian. One of our absolute favorite destinations is the relatively close Tagaytay.
Since the past few days have been fairly cool because of the Cthulhu-conducive stormy weather, I had a craving for some hot bulalo soup, and what’s a better way to have that than having an impromptu evening road trip with the gang as we are wont to do?

My years serving in Days with the Lord in Ateneo High School were some of the best of my life. Some people found it strange, considering it was a Catholic retreat and I’m a Methodist Protestant, but DWTL was a different experience. It was an inclusive experience, run by one of the most popular Jesuits of the school and supported by a diverse set of students that ranged from the jocks to the nerds to the gays. It had such an impact on me that in my senior year I even became rector for AHS DWTL Batch 107. My memories of this era are largely happy and quite uplifting.
So I could not help but smile (there may have also been some slight tears) when I recently came across this video:
A flash mob in a mall in Chile is singing a Spanish version of I Will Sing Forever.
A Starr Was Born.

You can have your John, Paul, or George…
… but Ringo is mine.
Happy 76th birthday, Richard Starkey!
You are a true living legend, Sir Ringo Starr, and may you have many more years to come.

Welcome to my mind...
... enjoy your stay!
