CITY OF ANGELS w. lee heeseung

inspired by la la land + slight angst (511)

pairing: lee heeseung x fem!reader

note: this is a part of an actual long fic i'm writing but i decided to post it as an individual oneshot and as an excuse to post smth LOL hope you enjoy !!! pls lmk by reblogging and liking ><

in the dynamic world of the korean music industry, you stand at the precipice of your solo debut as yn, surrounded by a whirlwind of nerves and anticipation. the practice room buzzes with energy as your team of managers and staff work tirelessly, preparing for the big day.

suddenly, the door swings open, and in strides heeseung—your first love, your first supporter, and the one who broke your heart four long years ago. his presence fills the room with a tumultuous mix of emotions, stirring up memories you thought you had buried deep.

heeseung, now a successful choreographer, has been assigned to mentor you for your debut. but he has no idea that you, yn, are the artist he's been tasked to work with. your management has kept your true identity hidden, adding another layer of complexity to your already tangled history.

after a brief introduction from your staff and managers, the room empties, leaving you and heeseung alone in a charged silence, the weight of your unresolved past hanging heavy between you like a thick fog.

"congratulations," you both start simultaneously, the words feeling heavy and laden with unspoken emotions. your eyes meet briefly and a laugh spills out. endearment. nostalgia. his laugh's melody was always your favourite song.

heeseung takes a hesitant step closer, his eyes searching yours for any sign of recognition. "are you ready to start?" he asks, his voice strained with the weight of what remains unspoken between you.

you meet his gaze, your heart aching with the memories of what used to be. "always," you whisper, your voice barely above a breath.

and so, you dive into the dance practice, the music wrapping around you like a bittersweet melody. every movement, every touch, is laced with the ghost of your past—a past filled with laughter, tears, and the echoes of a love that was never meant to be.

as you dance, you can feel heeseung's eyes on you, his gaze lingering on the curve of your smile, the arch of your back. subtle touches and longing glances pass between you, speaking volumes of the words left unsaid.

in those fleeting moments, you both linger on what used to be, on the love that once burned bright between you. but as the music fades and the dance comes to an end, you're left with the harsh reality of the present—a reality where your paths have diverged, and your hearts remain forever entwined in the bittersweet melody of what could have been.

"i've missed this," heeseung admits softly, breaking the silence as he offers you a wistful smile.

you nod, your heart aching with the weight of his words. "me too," you whisper, your voice barely above a whisper.

but amidst the ache of your past, there's a flicker of hope—a hope that maybe, just maybe, the music of your shared history will lead you to a new beginning. and as you exchange one final glance with heeseung, there's a silent agreement between you—a promise of what could be, if only you're brave enough to reach for it.

My ratings of shadowhunter books (spoilers)

1. TMI: City of bones 2.5/5, great introduction but the writing isnt that good and sometimes little boring

2. TMI: City of ashes 3/5, this would be 5/5 if that “we are siblings, lets till be together” wouldn't be happening. I really love alec and magnus in this but i actually enjoy the plot too. Maia is introduced, yay

3. TMI: City of Glass 3.5/5 i like the plot, i am not loving the “oops kissed my brother again”-thing. Isabella is badass, malec awesome, Aline introduced yeahh. I liked valentine and sebastian as villains. RIP max :(

4. TMI: City of fallen angels 2/5 only good thing in this is simons and jaces friendship and sebastian becoming villain again. Plot was weak. Maia awesome.

5. TMI: City of lost souls 4/5 i really enjoyed the plot and everyone else except clary. Page 511 killed me, cried so much... The end battle was little disappointing.

6. TMI: City of heavenly fire 5/5 i just love this book. I love the plot, i love every main character (even clary is good in this book) i love love love everything. Ending felt little bittersweet which i loved. Writing was good and alec was sassy. Only minus: RAPHAEL DIED!

7. TID: Clockwork angel 3/5 it was good but when i read it first time i really excepted something more, especially from will herondale. I like tessas powers and i am in love with jem but i really dont like tessa and will as characters. Plot was okay but not the best.

8. TID: Clockwork prince 3.5/5 i love jem even more. I dont hate will anymore but definitely rooting for jessa. Tessa was definitely better in this. I enjoy the lightwood siblings really much. And sophie and jessamine. Plot was okay but i cared more for wills plot than the whole plot.

9. TID: Clockwork princess 4.5/5 i love this plot and love every side character, i am even more invested in them than in the main ones. Jem died, hated it (but i knew it had to happen). I just didnt like the wessa endgame. the epilogy killed me.

10. TDA: Lady midnight 4/5 i actually really loved this one! Emma was amazing and her friendship with christine was everything. I was little bored during kit’s story but in the end it made so much sense. The plot was good but sometimes a little boring. I am not super big fan of the “we love each other but cant be together” trope.

11. TDA: Lord of shadows 3.5/5 i absolutely adore kit (and ty and livvy) in this. I hated zara but that was the point. This felt sometimes a little boring but the ending was sad but good. I am glad emma and jules decided to ask for help. AND MALEC IN IT OMG

12. TDA: Queen of Air and Darkness 5/5 this was just incredible. The plot was great, i loved thule. Jemma is happy yay. I loved the battle and i really loved kitty. The ending was just so shocking i excepted everything to be happily ever after. AND MALEC WEDDING I CRIED SO MUCH. I ACTUALLy liked clary in this book. Emma was amazing as always and julian was good. I liked christines ending but i wasnt super invested in her relationship. My man diego really saved himself in this.

13. TLH: Chain of gold 3/5 it was great and the writing was like really really good. Just didnt care for james herondale in this and sometimes felt a little boring. The ending was good. Grace is interesting.

14. TLH: Chain of Iron 4/5 omg i loved this! Cordelia is amazing and i actually liked james in this one. Lucie wasnt good in this, i didnt like her in this book.Everyone else was so good. Grace is just so interesting, Christopher needs more lines, Thomas and Alastair have my heart. Pls someone help Matthew. I ship jordelia. What a cliffhanger in the end cant wait for chainf of thorns.

15. TEC: Red Scrolls of magic 5/5 i know many people didnt love it this much but i just cant help myself. I really enjoyed the plot even tho i knew they would survive. Malec was amazing in this but ALINE AND HELEN were sooo cute. I was crying, i was laughing. My ultimate comfort book, i have read it like 5 times already. I know the rating should probably be lower because of my previous one but sometimes you just like something so much you dont care that it has flaws.

16. TEC: Lost book of the white 4/5 i loved this one too but some characters (like simon) were little weird in this one. I enjoyed the plot but it wasnt the best but i am so excited for the future. RAGNOR IS JUST AMAZING. Magnus and Alec were awesome too.

17. Tales from the shadowhunter academy 3.5/5 I fell in love with simon and george as characters. Malec was so precious. Isabella was complex and interetsing and i enjoyed her. Clary and Simin becoming parabatai was awesome. Some of the stories from the past were reallyy boring. RIP George, i miss him so so so so so much.

18. The Bane chronicles 3/5 some stories were 5/5 some were really boring. But i love magnus (my fav character) so of course i enjoyed this. 

19. Ghosts from the shadow market 4/5 i was happy to read stories from jems pov. Most of the stories were really good and i loved how it wasnt JUST jems pov. Malec of course was amazing but so was kitty, Anna Lightwood and jessa. Story about jace arriving was just heartwarming. Some stories were little boring (a deeper love for example) but it was anyway best from these standalones.

20. The shadowhunter codex 2.5/5 of course it was nice to see book with clarys, simons and jaces writing but overall this was little boring (i am not surprised but i am not fan of these kind of books). I liked to learn new thing but yeah this was really hard to rate because there isnt any story in it.

I am super excited for the future of this world. Sorry for grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.

[khaleesiofalicante]

Hey! Can you tell me all the books which has Alec and Magnus in it? I want to start reading.

First of all, fuck yes to giving the tsc books a try!! All the books technically do have Magnus or Alec or Magnus & Alec. In my humble opinion, they are all great. But since you asked only about malec, here is a quick outlook (in chronological order of the tsc plot)

The Infernal Devices (focuses on London Institute in 1878)

Clockwork Angel - A little bit of Magnus content. He is there for a couple of chapters, that’s it. 

Clockwork Prince - Decent Magnus content. He helps one of the main characters (surprise surprise) and it also somewhat shows Magnus dealing with his breakup with Camille. 

Clock Princess - Decent Magnus content. He continues to save shadowhunter asses. You also get to see him help one of the shadowhunters create the first ever portal.

The Last Hours (focuses on London Institute in 1903)

This series is still a work in progress. The first book was released last year (The Chain of Gold) From what I gathered, there is very little Magnus content in it. 

The Mortal Instruments (focuses on NY institute in 2007)

City of Bones - This has the malec first meeting - but that’s about it. If you want to read their first kiss, you can google the short story called ‘Kissed’. It’s really sweet.

City of Ashes - In this part of the plot, malec is sneaking around. So there is some decent malec content (but mostly from other people’s perspectives smh) But there are some beautiful malec scenes here.

City of Glass - Decent malec content. They are basically trying to DTR in this book. Also you get to see malec’s first public kiss (that scene is chef’s kiss tbh)

City of Fallen Angels - Malec is only there in the last couple of chapters - and they fight the whole time :(

City of Lost Souls - Decent malec content It has some really painful angst. (please skip page 511 for your own safety)

City of Fallen Angels - Quality malec content. In my opinion, this book has the best malec content and the best book in the entire series. You get to see plenty of malec angst and fluff.

The Bane Chronicles (a series of stories about Magnus)

If you like Magnus, this books has stories about him from different points of his life. For example, how he met Camille, his experiences during the Circle, how he met Raphael. There are two malec stories that are a must.

What to Buy a Shadowhunter Who Has Everything - It is hella cute and is basically magnus bullying his friends to try to buy the best birthday gift for alec (and he ends up choosing the perfect gift!!)

The Course of True Love and First Dates - This is the story about their first date (and lmao alec is a gay mess in this one)

Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy (a series of stories mostly focusing on simon)

Born to Endless Night - This is a story in this book that focuses on malec and is really, really good. It is about malec adopting their first son, Max. 

The Dark Artifices (focuses on LA Institute in 2012)

Lady Midnight - No malec. But some Magnus in the last bit.

Lord of Shadows - Decent malec content with their kids. It is really, really fluffy (the rest of it is not!!!)

Queen of Air and Darkness - Decent malec content - it has the malec wedding shdgaksdgja

Ghosts of the Shadow Market (a series of stories focusing on brother smackariah)

Son of Dawn - This story is about how Jace ended up with the Lightwoods. It has soft bebe Alec. We meet one of his childhood crushes sksksks.

The Land I Lost - This story is about how Alec finds Rafael and adopts him. JUST READ IT PLEASE.

Forever Fallen - This has spoilers for TDA. Just a little malec sprinkled here and there. But we briefly get to meet consul alec 🥺

The Eldest Curses (focuses on malec in different points of time)

THIS IS AN ENTIRE FUCKING TRILOGY ABOUT MALEC SO READ IT WITHOUT FAIL YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT BECAUSE THE CONTENT SENT ME TO HEAVEN JFC

The Red Scrolls of Magic - This is the first book in the series. It’s basically a rom-com. It’s a fucking malec romcom. Enough said.

The Lost Book of the White - This book is being released in a month aaahhhhh. It focuses on malec after adopting max and dealing with demonic shit.

Isaiah 39:1-41:16, Ephesians 1:1-23, Psalms 66:1-20, Proverbs 23:25-28

Today is the 22nd day of September welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I'm Brian it’s great to be here with you today just like it’s great to be here with you any day, every day. And that's what we do, every day we get together and take…take another step forward in our adventure through the Scriptures. We…our…are about…I’m thinking 75% through the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament and we will be beginning a new letter in the New Testament, the letter to the Ephesians today and we’ll talk about that when we get there. We’re reading from the Contemporary English Version this week. Isaiah chapter 39 verse 1 through 41, verse 16 today.

Introduction to the letter to the Ephesians:

Okay. So, we are entering into the letter to the Ephesians today. So, let's just kind of talk about it for a minute and get our bearings. Ephesians…well…on a personal note, reading Ephesians, getting to this place every year is a joy because the things that are in this letter are mind boggling things. Like there are things in the letter to the Ephesians that we will read and then think about what's being said, and then apply that to our own lives and realize that this is good news that's almost too good to be true, like this is how good the good news actually is. And, so, it's a joy to kind of reach this letter because it gives us these mountaintop views that are…they go on forever it seems. Just unbelievable what is true of us because of our faith in Christ. But, we’ll see that Ephesians is very different than, for example, the letter that we just read, Galatians, which leads biblical scholars to debate, and they have been debating for century's, hotly debated out whether Paul wrote this letter or not, whether Ephesians is Pauline or is more of Paul's school of thought or maybe even an actual school that Paul trained and taught people up and then this material came later. That's, again though, that's a hotly debated thing. Ephesians is one of the disputed letters of Paul in the Scriptures, has been for a long time, way before any of us who are alive today were alive. Like, it's not a new thing. It's very old and those who would argue in favor of Paul authoring these would just simply say like, that the way….the reason that some of the language is different, the reason some of the terminology’s different is…is just the way these letters were passed around and copied, the way that…the way that they were given. Like Paul would've spoken, dictated out loud to a scribe and different scribes wrote different letters. Some of them even pop up in the letters and basically go like, “hey me too…like…hey hello” when Paul is kind of closing his letters down. So…so, those scholars then would say, “it's…it's these things. Like that…that's what creates these nuances.” Nevertheless, this is a letter that was sent to the church in Ephesus. And Paul had spent time, about three years establishing this community. And that the time of Paul Ephesus was one of the more important cities of the Roman Empire. So again, another urban centered community of faith, mixed community, Jew and Gentile. Ephesus was a port city. So, all kinds of goods coming from all over the world and all kinds of goods going out from there. So, you can see people coming in and out of there. It was just a melting pot. Ideas were coming in. Ideas were going out. Culture was being imported in. Culture was being imported out. But Paul wasn’t writing Ephesians to combat a false teaching as we’ve witnessed in other letters or to correct some sort of a misbehavior as we've seen in other letters or to answer specific questions about how to live into this faith in Christ as we've seen in other letters. And that could be because he knew these people. He spent years among these people and…and was writing this letter to…to give…to give them a mountaintop vista, like I said before, of where their faith is headed and what this all means. There are…there are passages that we’re gonna go through in the letter to the Ephesians that we could ponder, like literally meditate upon for days, weeks, maybe even a lifetime. It's that remarkable. And the truth is, we've headed through all kinds of territory recently that have allowed us to go deep inside of our hearts and explore the emotions of our hearts, especially in terms of suffering and…and to contemplate that. And, so, now as we reach the letter to the Ephesians, we get the opportunity and just gaze upon the beauty of the promise of the Good News. And, so, let's dive in. Ephesians chapter 1.

Prayer:

Father we thank You for Your word and we thank You for…for new territory that we keep moving into. As we keep taking steps forward we come to all of the different facets of this beautiful library really that is the Bible, all of these different books, spanning millennia telling us an ancient story of who You are and leading us into relationship with You. And then we enter in and live this out. And, so, as we come into the letter to the Ephesians, we invite Your Holy Spirit to speak to us in the days ahead about how this is not only good news, this is really big news. What You began at the cross is like…we know it's revolutionary, but it profoundly shifts everything if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. And, so, we’re asking for that as we move forward. Come Holy Spirit, lead us into all truth. Plant the words spoken today in our hearts and may they yield the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Announcements:

It's how you dive into community, it's where the Prayer Wall is, it's where resources in the Shop are, various resources for the journey of a lifetime moving through the Bible together in a year. And it's also the place that if…if you want, you can partner with the Daily Audio Bible and I cannot, as….as I also say many, many times, I cannot thank you enough. We literally truly wouldn't be here if we weren’t in this together. And, so, the Global Campfire is us…it's us doing this together, it's this rhythm of us being in this together. And, so, if…if that is meaningful to you than thank you for your partnership. There’s a link on the homepage.

And thank you so much for praying for my kids and so many kids in the DAB family. And the new caller, Openhearted Overcome in Michigan, thanks for calling. And Joe the wife whose daughters stopped going to church and praying for Joe the protector and Tammy from Texas and Val in Vegas. Thanks for just sharing on the 15th what a tough day it was and guilt in a sense for being okay when there’s so many not okay. And for Abigail in Oregon for your baby that was a loss and your husband who is…who is grieving and for the Oregon fire’s. So many cool things happening and God I…and challenging things as well. And God I thank you for all those who’ve prayed for my kids who have two of my four kids are bipolar and I suffer with it as well. I appreciate you…your prayers during this time. It’s been kind of a rough season right now, but God is good. Thank you again for all that you’ve done. God bless. Bye.

Hi, I’d just like to pray for Abigail from Oregon. And yes, we have been praying about all those who are being affected by the fire…the wildfires in the Pacific Northwest in California. And I’d just like to pray for you now Abigail and for your family and community and friends there. Lord Jesus You are our rock and refuge. This is got to be such an unsettling unstable time and one where there these dear people don’t know for sure what will happen to their homes or their churches or their physical communities. But we look to You and I just want to pray specifically for Abigail who has lost a child and now is in danger of losing a home and church and all these different things. And I pray that they can experience Your supernatural provision and Your pouring out of Your Spirit during this time that they, despite the pain and the unsettledness and the disruption, that they experience Your perfect peace that surpasses all comprehension in the beautiful precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Good morning DAB family my name is Vincent and I am Vincent Walking in Love or at least I try to. I have one minute and 47 seconds to tell you that God must be extremely pleased with this communications, how much love and care there is from seemingly all over the world. I want to say that on the 17th, I don’t know if anyone heard, well I’m sure you did, that young lady, that little girl that sang and has the voice of an angel. You should sing again and say your name so that I could properly thank you. I wanted to tell Val in Vegas that…to keep going and God’s got you. Joe, I’m praying for your family, that they come back to you. I want to say God bless Tammy in Texas and Susan from Canada. God’s lovely flower, God’s Yellow flower, that I greatly appreciate your prayers they are truly heartfelt. And Abigail from Oregon, I feel your pain. God bless you. Pray for me family that I find love with the one that I love, miss Becky, and that God helps me to find my purpose. I’m getting too old to find out what I’m going to do when I grow up. Vincent Walking in Love. God bless.

Hello people I’m Sean and I am a sinner. I am despicable and I really, really, really can’t stand myself. And what I’m asking for is for your prayers. Our God, our Lord Jesus Christ has told me to do stuff, he’s told me to write and I’m having great difficulty with that and I just want your prayers please.

The Lord bless you and keep you May the Lord make his face to shine upon you I pray he gives you peace and that all that you have will increase that your blessings never ever cease and that your life be one big gigantic feast but the truth of the matter is the road is long and rough the battles are hard and tough your best is never enough and Satan will always call your bluff but I still know you can make it I know that you can stand the Lord will not forsake you and there’s not much he’ll demand keep your eyes upon his promises let your vows be firm and true let your friends be in his service let your strength his renew don’t be afraid to call his name when problems are too tough and you might have to do some fasting too when prayer just isn’t enough but whatever problems come your way whatever storms may arise if you stay connected to the Lord in the end you’ll win the prize honesty and integrity are things you should possess and if humbly you just ask for strength he’ll give you all the rest the Lord bless you and keep you the Lord make his face to shine upon you I pray he gives you peace and that all that you have will increase may your blessings never ever cease and your life be one big gigantic feast

Looks like gonna be going to court and it’s looking like it’s going to get super ugly and I just…first praise report that I’ve felt all your prayers and all the negative stuff that’s been happening over the last week, it’s just multiple just nightmare situations and, you know, in…in it I felt, you know, I felt peace simultaneously with just the fear and shame and anger and every…every negative emotion a person can have, you know, in these situations and it’s…it’s…it’s been all of them. So, God’s there, I know you guys are there. And I thank you for just…your love and your prayers and just pray for accountability, I pray for the truth to come out. You know it’s gonna come out for me too, so I’m prepared no matter what happens. I know God’s got me. I pray for repentance for me, true repentance for forgiveness for my…for my sins. You know on both sides I hope we can work that out. I hope that, you know, a guardian ad Litem is, you know, assigned that they have, you know, eyes and ears and hearts to hear and see the truth and I’m just ready, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, you know and I know that no matter what happens God has me and I’m prepared, I’m prepared for whatever he has for me because I know no matter what it’s going to be okay even worse case scenario I know it’s going to be okay and I know he has me because he’s been here every second with me through this. So, I love you. Thank you, family.

Kaligtasan sa Sariling Bayan

Ang lungsod ng Tarlac ay nakasuot sa Central Luzon at ito ang probinsyang inuuwian. Ang Tarlac ay binubuo ng 17 na bayan at 511 na barangay, kabilang dito ang San Sebastian, ang tirahan ko. Ang barangay ng San Sebastian ay tahimik, halo-halo ang mga pamilya na nakatira rito, mayroong mga bata at matatandang residente. Dumami na rin ang mga nakatira sa subdibisyon sa pagkalipas ng taon at marami na ang nagbago rito. Nagkaroon na ng function halls, kainan, nadagdagan ng mga bahay at panibagong ginagawang medical center. Bagamat, marami pa rin halaman at napapalibutan ng mga puno sa kapaligiran. Tahimik ang lugar na kinalakihan ko at halos magkakakilala ang mga nakatira rito. 

Dahil ito ang aking pinakamamahal na tahanan, nais kong matulungan ito lalo na sa mga panahong nangangailangan ito. Mula sa akin nagawang community-based disaster and risk assessment, lubos kong nakilala ang Tarlac.

Muling pasasalamat kay Kuya John Christian Duaqui, miyembro ng dispatch team at apprentice sa City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office sa pagsagot ng aking mga tanong tungkol sa “hazard identification and preparedness” ng barangay ko. Ang CDDRM ay nakikipagtulungan sa kami PDRRM, provincial Disaster risk reduction management office. Kasama rin nila ang PRRM, DSW, ang lokal na pamahalaan, PNP, BFP, at katulong sa sakuna ang AFP.

Mula sa aming pag-uusap, hindi talaga bahain ang lungsod ng Tarlac ngunit mayroong mga lugar na binabaha pa rin. Sa mga dumaan na taon, ang pinakamalalalang kalamidad na tumama ay ang bagyong Yolanda noong 2013. Isa na rin ang lindol noong Abril 2019 na tumama sa Zambales ngunit naramdaman pa rin sa Tarlac.

    Kung tutuusin, hindi talaga lugar ng kalamidad ang Tarlac ngunit di pa rin maiwasan magkaroon ng mga punto ng hazards ang bayan ko. Gaya nalamang ang mga bahay sa malalapit sa ilog, ang mga komunidad na ito ay mataas ang “vulnerability” at bukas sa panganib. Maituturing sila na “vulnerable” dahil malapit sila sa hazardous na area, pagsinabing hazardous pwedeng lumala or maging malaking sakuna. Isa pang halimbawa ay ang ng barangay Aguso kung saan kumakailan ay nabitak ang semento na humaharang sa tubig at dahil dito ay madalas na silang bahain. Sa may barangay ng San Sebastian, unti-unti na rin nagiging mahina laban sa mga sakuna dahil binabaha na rin sa lugar namin. Gaya na lamang ng mga nakatira sa mabababang lugar kung saan maaari maipon ang tubig at magbaha. Isa pa ang mga matataas na damuhan kung saan pwede kumapit at kumalat ang apoy at umabot sa mga katabing bahay nito. Naidagdag pa ni Kuya, delikado rin ang mga nasa mababang lugar dahil doon nagiiipon ang tubig at kung hindi pa matibay ang bahay ay pwede magiba kung sakali may mangyaring lindol o magkaroon ng sunog.

Upang maiwasan ang mga ito, mayroong mga “protocols” na inihanda ang CDRRM. May contingency plan sila na kung saan nakalagay ang senyales kung kailang maaring papalikasin ang mga residente kung sakaling mayroong matinding bagyo. Ang alpha ang pinakamababa na halimbawa na hanggang talampakan ang baha o pasimula palang ang baha. Susunod ang bravo na senyales na umaakyat na ang baha at huli ang charlie na nangangahulugan na kritikal na kang kalagayan ng baha. Sa sitwasyon na ito, pinapalikas na ang mga vulnerable people na nasa vulnerable places. Mayroon din na mga indigenous people o katutubo na natutulog sa ilalim ng tulay at madalas ayaw na nilang lumisan dahil wala na silang matitirahan.

  Tuwing mayroong baha, may mga “signs” na nakapaskil sa bawat poste na nakakulay na berde, dilaw at pula. Pinakamababa ang kulay na berde na ibig sabihin na maayos pa, kapag dilaw naman ay maaari ng lumikas sapagkat lagpas baywang na ang baha at pula naman ay nangangahulugan na kritikal na ang sitwasyon.

    Mahalaga na mayroong wastong direksyon o protocol para sa mga sitwasyong ganito dahil kapag hindi ito nagawan ng aksyon kaagad ay maraming buhay ang maaapektuhan. Ang Tarlac ay maraming palayan at pangunahing hanapbuhay ng mga tao rito ay pagsasaka at kapag karamihan ng mga magsasaka ay natamaan sila ng matinding bagyo o tagtuyo, mahihirapan silang makapghanapbuhay at walang maani. Ganundin, maraming tao ang nakadepende sa mga magsasaka ng Tarlac ay mahihirapan din silang magpakain sa pamilya nila.

    Upang maiwasan ang ganitong pangyayari ay kailangan ng pagtutulungan ng mga tao. Sa San Sebastian, mayroong sites of evacuation kung saan maari lumikas ang mga tao sa panahon ng panganib. Dagdag pa rito ang mga multipurpose halls at apartments na pwedeng pagtuluyan ng mga tao. Nabanggit ni Kuya rin na mayroong MOA agreement kung saan may kasunduan sa mga piling paaralan sa Tarlac na pwedeng tumanggap ng evacuees if ever mayroong nararating na panganib. Higit pa rito, may bagong proyekto ang mayor ng Tarlac, si Mayor Cristy Angeles na nakatuon sa mga PWO or womens organization na binubuo ng mga kababaihan ng ibat ibang barangay. Doon, tinuturuan silang gumawa ng dish washing soap, sabon at iba pang gamit na panglinis sa bahay. Gumagawa rin sila ng mga craft materials na gawa sa sa water lilies na nagipon sa mga irigasyon.

  Bagaman, ang bayan ng Tarlac ay kulang pa rin sa paghahanda, fundings at wastong pageensayo ng mga barangay officials tungkol sa kalamidad. Ganun pa man, hindi dapat ito maging hadlang sa pagpapaayos at pagpapabuti ng mga plano tungkol sa disaster risk and management. Mula sa aming talakayan, nabanggit ni Kuya John ang kahalagahan ng paggamit ng social media sa paga’anunsiyo ng parating na panganib. Mula rito, napagtanto ko na maaaring makatulong ang kabataan sa pagpapaalam at pagbibigay ng impormasyon para sa bayan. Sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng social media gaya ng facebook, nakakapag’post sila ng updates tungkol sa mga parating na bagyo or mga nagaganap sa bayan tulad nalang kung walang pasok, at madali nilang naisasagot nila ang mga tanong ng taong bayan.

Game 18,846 (4/28) LAA 4, Cle 1 - 401 (still waiting...)

More sloppy infield play set up a three-run third for the Angels, who swept the four-game series with a 4-1 win.

The third started with a walk, followed by a double play ball that pitcher Paul Quantrill threw into center field. This was followed by a sacrifice bunt attempt but the throw to first was dropped, loading the bases. Two singles and a double-play ball scored the three runs.

Austin Hedges (2-for-3, solo home run) was the Guardians' offense. They got only four hits.

Starter Quantrill went six innings, allowing the three runs (one earned) on four hits. He struck out four and walked three.

Since splitting the opening series in Kansas City, the Guardians have been involved in five straight series sweeps. They swept two and have been swept in the other three.

STARTUPS AND X

Most people's judgement of art. But now that I think of it, we were looking one day at a slide of some great fifteenth century painting, and one of the founders said I'd read that starting a startup molds you into someone to whom starting a startup consumed your life, but I have never once sensed any unresolved tension between them. The total amount of desirable startup stock available to investors will probably increase, because the degree of risk deeply imprinted on it, not just in the procedures they follow but in the personalities of the people on both sides who supply and check proofs of the supplier's solvency. But don't be too smug about this weakness of theirs, because you both know the price will have to be over some threshold of expertise to post comments about that. Always produce will discover your life's work the way water, with the additional suggestion that the application should not consist of writing the compiler for your language, unless your language happens to be open source. Most of the famous founders in Silicon Valley than everywhere else too. The way to do it more. Most we helped with technical advice—for example, a company might require all suppliers to prove they're solvent before submitting bids.

Fortunately we've come up with several techniques for sharding YC, and the 511 prior to the current batch have collectively raised about $1. It would certainly be convenient, but you have to follow the truth wherever it leads. But in Lisp the functions and macros I wrote were just like those that made up the language itself. I bring four books and only read one of them, because you both know the price will have to work for you. I changed that part? One has to make do without. Unproductive pleasures pall eventually. One of the artifacts of the way our eyes work. There is a role for mathematical elegance: some kinds of design problems are more personal than others.

The traditions and financial models of the VC business when that happens? When they'd been independent, they could release changes instantly. When the company consists only of the founders discovered that the hardest part of arranging a meeting with executives at a big cell phone carrier was getting a rental company to rent him a car, because he is not going away. We have less power than bosses, and yet the founders work harder than employees. We'll find out this winter. And the old system meant people had to deal with stuff like patents and investors. The reason we have high level languages is because people can't deal with machine language.

The main reason they all acted as if they enjoyed their work was presumably the upper-middle class convention that you're supposed to work one's way up the corporate ladder. But I don't think anyone would like programming in a language where all the variables were the letter x with integer subscripts. Language designers, or at least language implementors, like to write compilers that generate fast code. Interestingly, while Kate said that she could never pick out successful founders, she could recognize VCs, both by the way they carried themselves. Writing application programs used to mean writing desktop software. If you're hard enough to sell to, the people who talk about art simply being good or bad will cause the people who are genuinely good. You have to be able to resist, or at least postpone, turning into managers, just as a few decades ago they started to be driven mostly by people's identities. If that's true of Boston, it's even more true of every other city. Investors are looking for startups that will be really successful.

Y Combinator is one probably only a hacker would understand. Does that mean investors will make less money? Humans have a lot more in common than this, of course. Kate knew in principle that startups were very risky, but she was surprised to see how constant the threat of failure was—not just for the reasons everyone knows about. I discovered that when a startup needed to talk to someone who wants to buy you. Along some parts of Skyline the dominant trees are huge redwoods, and in the process of losing a deal to a west coast one. About twenty years ago. And when you convince them, use the same matter-of-fact language you used to convince yourself.

Now there's a third: start your own company. Will you have a monopoly or cartel to enforce it, and c spends countless hours in front of you, the more it has to be finite, and the investors are the ones likely to succeed, just that you're a sufficiently good bet? Some people like certain kinds of apples and others like other kinds, but how to have better ideas. Why bother? Considering that the summer founders what surprised them most about starting a company, one said the most shocking thing is that it involves more risk. Being good art is art that achieves its purpose particularly well. We'll continue to be able to work hard: these guys would have paid to be able to change it easily, or at least something like a natural science.

But if audiences have a lot in common, what interests them is not random. The random college kid you talk to. But it is less of a problem. It seems like a bad idea. If good art is art that interests its human audience, and—here's the critical point—members of the audience seemed to be from the UK. Raising money is not like applying to college, where you can assume that if you can do something you'd never want to do, and still not do it. The second reason investors like you more when other investors like you is that you actually become a better investment. Well, if you're ahead now, and yet the founders work harder than employees. He was already living in the future. Angels you can sometimes tell about other angels, because angels cooperate more with one another. But notice the weather. The traditions and financial models of the VC business when that happens?

This is the single most common lie told to investors, and not before. They seem to like us too. And by convince yourself, then all that code is doing nothing but make your manual thick. And indeed, you can use any language you want, so if they saw a startup they liked, they should make them an offer. It's also wise, early on, when they're trying to find their niche. I've said before, is a dangerously misleading example. But they underestimated the force of their desire to connect with one another.
