First time I pushed myself since I recovered from pneumonia and a water in my left lung (mid to late 2021).
I used the closed roads being used by two race events, #EarthRun and #ASICS run. 😜
I think being with fellow runners made it easier. I didn't feel any pain and I rarely had to catch my breath. Though I was still slow as compared to before I got sick, and had a lot of walks than runs, this was still far better than whenever I ran 5k solo this year.
Official: If one has power, they can make any justifications for their actions. If one has no power, anything they say is only a counter-argument.
It is true. The Philippines brought China to the international Court re: South China Sea dispute, and what happened? Nothing even though the Philippines won.
China is holding considerable power so even they continue to use the stupid and baseless and no historical support 9/10-dash line.
While anything the Philippines did and said only ended as counter arguments.
Apologies. When I watch and read fiction, I pay attention to it because a good writer always embed current issues, or express their views, in their work.
This is only the premiere episode and the author already demonstrated their talent.
Why is it that in #romantic and #romcom#dramas, when a woman cannot reach something, the guy would reach it for her from her back.
If it was me, I would hold her at her waist and lift her up. I think that's sweeter and more charming. And if you feel like going a mile, turn her and sat her on the table, and tease her with pecks.
If we're in the kitchen when that scenario happens, because she wants to cook food, then I'll tell her to just sit there and watch me cook instead; and while cooking, I will steal kisses on her cheeks, but no lips.
The taste of the food doesn't matter; nor the food itself (could be instant ramen/ramyeon/noodle). If I failed, we'll surely have laughter, and she can tease me back. If the food's good, it's a plus.

That was a good watch. Heartwarming. Reminded me of why I want to get out of the urban life and home; and migrate somewhere quiet, tuned with nature, and a small town. When will that ever happen?
Regardless, this is a good reminder and inspiration. While fiction and too perfect, I believe it does happen, we just have to get out there and find it.
Do I rate this based on the present (2023) or when I first saw this in 1994? I guess the latter, so it will be fair, an 8 out of 10. Many are rating and giving bad reviews about this show, but I think it is unfair. This was an early 1990s movie. Movies people are rating today will be just as a “bad” as they described 30 years from now.
That out of the way. It was nostalgic, re-watching this 29 years later. I was reminded of how people think of time travel back then, with not so much a worry about the grandfather paradox, and more about ripples in time.
We've come a long way, not just in movie making, storytelling, but also in how we perceive time and time travel. Yet, the ideas from the 20th Century is as valid today as it was before, only better and more mind-boggling.
If they reboot this, either as a new movie or a TV series, I wonder how it will be reinterpreted. Or maybe, one just have to watch the Korean TV sci-fi “Sisyphus: The Myth” to have a glimpse of what it can be. ^_~
“Paint My Love” by Michael Learns to Rock is the English cover of “Kun Med Dig” by Martin Loft & Dorthe Andersen. It was chosen as the song of Denmark for the 1996 Eurovision.
The popular song “Take Me to Your Heart” (2004) by Michael Learns to Rock is actually an English cover of the 1993 Mandarin original entitled “吻别” (“Goodbye Kiss”) by Jacky Cheung.
We're praying for the world
And for the people everywhere
Gonna show them all we care
Oh my sleeping child
The world's so wild
But you've built your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child
If all the people around the world
They had a mind like yours
We'd have no fighting and no wars
There would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders
Could see you here this way
They would hold the Earth in their arms
They would learn to watch you play (they would learn)
Oh my sleeping Child
A young adult girl's journey in discovering that everything they need in life was already given, despite the loss she had when she was a young girl. From living in the past, from pain, to embracing it, so she can live in the present and face her future with happiness and fulfilment.
A great adaptation and reinterpretation of “Beauty and the Beast” as a Japanese anime set in modern times.
I love how they used Virtual Reality as a plot device only; and avoiding the pitfall of explaining things that are not needed to be explained.
I now understand why this received a 14-minute standing ovation at Cannes (the 7th longest at the festival). It truly deserves it. A Masterpiece. I've never seen this level of reinterpretation of the classic “Beauty and the Beast”.
So-so. There's potential, but it seems they were given a very low budget. They could've improved the script too, it was as if after so many edits, "this is fine, we're on a tight schedule". I can see where they want this to go, but they didn't deliver it well. It was lacking. It could've been better.
A must-watch film. It's based on a true story of how Gran Turismo simulation players achieved their dreams to be a professional racer. If you're a gamer, you'll understand and be able to relate well to the message of this film. Modern video games are not just games; it does teach us skills.
