Doctor 2: She seems normal to me.

Doctor 1: No, the way she PERCEIVES reality is crazy. I don't know what disorder this is specifically.

About Walter Model's appearance (via namu.wiki and Verlorene Siege by Erich von Manstein):

"He was short, had a strong and sturdy physique, and his movements were nimble and agile. He had thick black hair and always wore a heavy-duty monocle, but his blue eyes beyond his lenses were free-spirited and bright. We could all see that he had a very good heart." —Horst Großmann

Günther Blumentritt is said to have been surprised by the fact that the 35-year-old Hauptmann Model, whom he met during the interwar period, and the 50-year-old Feldmarschall Model during World War II had the same appearance. His hair did not become thinner or grayer, and his bright blue eyes were the same. —Generalfeldmarschall Walter Model, von Genthin bis vor Moskaus Tore (1962, p.48) by Konrad Leppa.

SS-Sturmbannführer Heinrich Springer, who is 23 years younger than Model, had the impression that when Model smiled sincerely, he 'smiled like a sweet boy'. (ME CRYYYYYYYY)

"Of medium height, with a rather delicate rather than strong build, with a head full of black hair and lively eyes that could sometimes take on a piercing look, he appeared young and fresh and was tough and of great efficiency." —Erich von Manstein

I really love the fact that people often highlight his thick black hair. It gives me personal comfort (because my hair too is just like that and I almost always hate it for being too thick and poofy lol) :(

Happiest heavenly birthday, my favorite Generalfeldmarschall. Ruhe in Frieden🫂

note: I used only Google translate. so, I don't know whether there were any translational errors. If there were, I'm very sorry.

Si Bobby, stepfather ko na sumakabilang-buhay na, ay isang dating tsuper. Biyahe ni Bobby nun ay Blumentritt-Balut. Taena, akala ko same lang ‘yun ng Pateros, kasi hello??? Balut??? As a Best in HeKaSi.

Minsan, kasama niya ako sa biyahe. Panahong walang-wala kami—swerte na kung makakain kami sa SM San Lazaro ng Jollibee. Ako ‘yung nagsusukli at naglalagay ng bayad sa kahera. Natutuwa pa ako nung kapag nakakakuha kami ng new banknote (yaong kasalukuyang banknote ngayon) kasi ang visually appealing. Talagang hindi namin siya gagastahin, dahil gusto namin ‘yung design ng bagong pera.

Ramdam mo na minumura ka na sa isip ng mga pasahero kasi nagpupuno ka pa ng jeep, pero may male-late na pala. Pero wala, eh. Naranasan ko rin na masiraan si Bobby ng jeep habang bumabiyahe. No choice—lipat ng jeep. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko. Kung samahan ko si Bobby? Binigyan pa ako ng P20, at sabi: “bili ka muna anak ng sundae sa 7-11.” Eto pa, alam ko rin ang pakiramdam na magpa-gasolina, lalo sa alanganing oras. Sa kaalaman ng lahat, palitan ang dalawang tsuper sa isang jeep—isa ay pang-umaga, at isa ay panggabi. Madalas, nauubos ng panggabi ang krudo at dahil gabi na, hindi na nakakapagpakrudo kaya kinabukasan ng umaga, doon magpapagas—kung kailan male-late ka na!

After ng biyahe, magbibilang ako ng kikitain. Porsyentuhan, boundary sa operator, ₱500. Sa kanya na ‘yung wampayb. Hahalikan niya ako sa pisngi, bubulong—“salamat kuya sa pagsama. Kain tayo Jollibee bukas.”

At ayun, kakain kami sa Jollibee. Isang araw na kami naman ang pasahero ng jeep, kami naman ang mag-aabot ng bayad, at kami naman ang bubuhay sa tsuper. Dahil alam namin ang hirap at sakripisyo sa pag-ikot ng manibela na bubuhay sa apat na sikmura namin.

Sa bawat pagsakay ko ng jeep, bitbit ko ang alaala ni Bobby. Ngayong malayo na rin ang narating ko, sa bawat bayad na binigay sa akin ni Bobby, hindi ko man lang siya nabigyan ng sukli.

Ngayong malayo na ako, wala akong panukli sa buong salapi ng pagmamahal at sakripisyo. Keep the change, ika nga.

Sa tabi lang po, Manong Bobby.

Para po. Para po sa’yo ‘to, Papa.

Get to know History by exploring streets around UST

The University of Santo Tomas (UST), located along España Blvd, Sampaloc Manila, is one of the leading universities across the Philippines. Founded on April 28, 1611. UST has a rich history surrounded by street names with historical backgrounds connected to our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. 

Dr. Jose Rizal in UST

José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, known as Dr. Jose Rizal, studied at the  University of Santo Tomas when he was only 16 years old, from April 1877-1882. He finished a program in Philosophy and Letters before shifting to a medicine program and leaving the country to continue his studies in Spain.

While at UST, Rizal wrote several poems, including “A la Juventud Filipina” (To the Filipino Youth), which was dedicated to the Filipino youth during the Spanish oppression, urging them to use their talents and potential to shape the future of our country.

Additionally, he also founded a secret society called Compañerismo, whose members are called “Companions of Jehu”.

Street names around UST historically related to Dr. Jose Rizal 

1. Laong Laan St.

Laong Laan was Dr. Jose Rizal’s pen name when he was a contributor of poems and articles in “La Solidaridad,” an organization that later became a newspaper based in Barcelona, Spain. Established on February 15, 1889, by Filipino exiles, serving as a platform for Filipino nationalists advocating for political reforms and social justice in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial rule. 

Laong in Tagalog means “a long time” while “laan” means “reserved for a purpose”. Therefore, Laong Laan conveys as “kept in reserve for a purpose for a long time”

2. Dimasalang St.

Dr. Jose Rizal also wrote under the pseudonym “Dimasalang” when he was a correspondent for the same newspaper “La Solidaridad”. He published a literary piece titled “El Amor Patrio” (Love of Country) during his time in Spain. It was later on included in “Diariong Tagalog”, a daily newspaper established in Manila.

3. Blumentritt Road

Blumentritt Road is named after Ferdinand Blumentritt who became Rizal’s closest friend. His friendship with the national hero dates back to as early as July 1886. They often exchanged letters that were used as significant sources for historians prior to Rizal’s execution on December 30, 1896.

4.España Boulevard

España Boulevard was named after the Spanish word for the country Spain, which became the colonial power that governed the Philippines for 333 years.

5. Dapitan Street

Dapitan Street was derived from the coastal town of Dapitan in Zamboanga del Norte where Dr. Jose Rizal was exiled from July 17, 1892, until July 31, 1896.

7.Piy Margal Street 

Piy Margal Street was followed by Pio del Pilar Margal who was a Filipino general in the Philippine Revolution, although not entirely connected to Rizal, he was still one of the figures who fought for the Philippine Independence

Additional streets inspired by Dr. Jose Rizal’s novels;

Here is the list of street names that were inspired by the characters of Dr. Jose Rizal’s novels, “Noli me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo”.

Ir al mercado FILIPINAS

Ver a hombres llevando cestas de verduras frescas y coloridas de camino al mercado es algo común en muchas partes del mundo. Estas personas trabajadoras desempeñan un papel vital en el sector agrícola, llevando los productos de las granjas a los consumidores de las zonas urbanas. Este proceso de transporte de verduras no sólo apoya la economía local sino que también proporciona alimentos frescos y nutritivos a la comunidad.

Los hombres que se dedican a esta ocupación suelen proceder de zonas rurales donde la agricultura es una forma de vida. Se levantan temprano por la mañana para cosechar las verduras de sus campos antes de cargarlas en cestas para transportarlas. Las cestas suelen estar hechas de bambú tejido y se llevan sobre los hombros con notable equilibrio y habilidad.

Mientras se dirigen al mercado, estos hombres navegan por calles concurridas y mercados abarrotados, desafiando los elementos y, a veces, incluso las duras condiciones climáticas.

Medyo nagiging malaking parte na ng buhay ko 'yung MRT at LRT. Bente pesos mula Cubao hanggang Ayala. Bente pesos pabalik. Minsan, diretso tayo Edsa. Tapos lilipat sa LRT papuntang Blumentritt. Pero sa dulo ng araw, byahe, at daan, sa iisang bahay lang din naman ako uuwi.

Sa umaga lang talaga ako inaabutan nang maraming tao. Sa station lang naman din ng Cubao sa MRT. Napansin ko rin na kung gusto mong maiwasan 'yung sobrang habang pila't pawis sa kilikili, 'wag ka sa Cubao sasakay. Mas okay sa Shaw or sa Ortigas dahil maraming mga bumababa don. Dead station din yung Santolan. Walang buhay sa Boni. FUCK WHAT THE FUCK AM I WRITING??????

related to Rizal, I love how the class discussion occasionally goes "and he was very close to Blumentritt, they wrote letters to each other, you would almost think Blumentritt was one of the girls he was trying to woo" like MA'AM DONT TELL ME YOUVE SEEN SINAUNANG YAOI TAG??

rizal the ultimate self-projection master fr, bro experienced stuff in his life and was like "why don't we add that to noli and el fili"

mother imprisoned? add to writing! lab equipment unused by students? add to writing!

bro had to make it as realistic as possible and decided "if we want to make it realistic, why don't we just put the experiences of a real person!" and made it work

So true

I remember seeing someone say Ibarra was just Rizal's self insert and it couldn't be more right
