Autobiography

My name is Adriean Espiritu, 18 years old, born in December 31, 2005, in Manila. I am now living with my father, because my mother is separated with my two brothers in other place. I am the only child of my father and that is why I always alone in house. I also do daily workout at home and running in the morning to lessen my stress or other thing that trigger my happiness.

Since I born, I always ask questions for something that I did not know to have a knowledge of it. Also, I manage to become more sociable since me and my father lived in Santa Ana, Manila, where the all kids outside of the house is playing and that trigger my attention to play with them. However, we move house when I am sixth grade of elementary in Imus, Cavite, and there where I continue to study. Furthermore, I gain a lot of friends from Manila buy I must continue and meet another friends in Cavite. Because my father buy a house.

I graduated in Malagasang 1-G Elementary and I moved to Imus National High School to continue my learning. In this school I meet many friends that make me happy whilee studying here. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the way how I study has been changed. This where I get depressed due to the Online Distance Learning (ODL), where I did not literally know who are my classmates, because I did not have closer interaction with them. I become more lazy due to not able myself to study harder even it is online classes.

Furthermore, when the Corona Virus Disease pandemic wipe out, I graduated in Junior High School and that day I feel I accomplished something that I will never forget. Afterwards, I continue studying my senior high in General Pantaleon Garcia, and there where I took HUMSS strand to improve my reading, writing, and speaking skill. This school is a place where I love it, I meet many classmates who help me build my confident and other aspect of being student.

The Four Muskeeters

My name is Bea Cassandra De Leon. I was born on the thirtieth day of November, year two thousand and five at Quezon City, Philippines. The woman who gave birth to me, the woman I call "mama", is my mother named Cecilia De Leon. The man who fell in love to my mama's charm is the man I call "daddy", is my father named Bobby De Leon. I also have a demon as my little sister name Celine Bianca De Leon. I have a complete and loving family that I am thankful for.  I am now living for eighteen years in this world. I have a dream that I want to reach, I dream to be a protector and the server of law and justice. I dream to be a lawyer, a lawyer who is blind just like the Goddess of Law, Themis.

I went to Pasig Elementary School and also to Malagasang II Elementary School for my first to sixth grade. I went to Gen. Tomas Mascardo Nation High School, also know as GTMNHS for my high school education. And Gen. Pantaleon Garcia Senior High School, also know as GPGSHS for my senior high school education. I used to live in Manila, in Pasig to be exact when I was a child. However, when I was in my fourth grade, my family and I moved here, in Cavite to have a better life.

In this story of my life, I want to share a certain event of my life that changed me.

I have a fear, a fear of making new friends. For the reason for this fear of mine can be traced back when I was in my eight grade. I have three female classmates whom I consider as friends. I was an academic achiever back then (I am still now), while my three female friends were not. They are the type of students who enjoyed life and they did not care whatever their grades are.

They were my first female friends who stuck me. We are like a KitKat bar. It was a dream to me, a dream as the blanket who hides the nightmare beneath it.

I unvel and discover the blanket at the beginning of second quarter of my eight grade. We had a project for our MAPEH subject, it was Arts back then and it was on Tuesday. I was at the restroom, washing my face off from the make-up (our project back then needs a TON of make-up). While I was washing my face, I heard a group of girl talking beside the restroom, and I recognized those voices, they were my three female friends. I thought they were only mocking themselves because of their ridiculous make-up, but I was dead wrong.

When I exited the restroom, I heard them talking about me. Saying how I was a good answer sheet for letting them copying off of my homework, how I was a good supply shop for letting them always give them papers and ballpens for free, and how they can always, and I mean always, let them make me their servant. They were laughing so hard, while I was on the other of the restroom, my eyes producing waterfalls. But I can not cry, I hold back my sobs and rushed back to our classroom where I pretended I did not heard anything.

That was the moment I changed for the worse. I stopped trusting people, the fear of meeting new people slammed itself to me, and I developed a skill pretending I was fine and happy. Even though that I knew I was being used, I let them hang out with me. I was disgusted by myself. I was sticking myself like a glue to the people who was only using me, I let them walk over me like a pavement, I let them make me their personal piggy bank. I wanted to flew back then at the blue sky and just let myself feel the fresh air. Maybe that's the reason why I always fancy birds. Because they have the wings of freedom that I do not have.

When the Corona Virus striked, it was the end of my eight grade. The COVID-19 was a villain but a hero for me. Thanks to that virus, I was able to escaped from the clutches of my nightmare, I was able to stay at my safe place. However, at the same time, COVID-19 also nurtured my fear of socialising.

Then, two years passed and now, I'm a twelfth grader whose fear is slowly dissipating. This happened when I was in my eleventh grade. I do not know if it was destiny or just a coincidence, but my classmate in sixth grade, seventh grade, ninth grade, and tenth grade, became my classmate in my eleventh grade. For me, those four years that we became classmates are not much. We were not close and I do not consider her as my friend but only as my classmate. Her name is Ashly Jewel Valencia, she was born on the second day of the February, year of the thousand and six. When her eyes met my back, she immediately ran to me and hugged me, I guess she was so happy to see me. But I was not excited nor happy, why would I? We were not friends. However, that did not last long. There is also this one woman who suddenly flew and made her way to my heart, her name is Shaine Capua, she was born on the eleventh day of February, year of the two thousand and six.

She was a bubbly and friendly girl, she was an opposite of me. She was like a tank who crushed in my walls. These two became my friends. At the first quarter of our eleventh grade, Jewel, Shaine, and I were both in Set B. But when the second quarter came, our friend group added another girl named Danna Kurt Sahagun, she was born on the twenty-eight day of October, year of the two thousand and five. She was in Set A, another academic achiver like us three. And thus, we became the four musketeers.

At first, it was like repeating the nightmare once again. It feels like I was on a fluffy cloud, floating in a clear, blue sky, enjoying my friends love for me. I was hesitant to let myself be open again. But destiny gave me good friends this time. It felt good whenever they looked for me before they take a picture. It felt good whenever there is a group project that needs four members, we will all look together. How in Triple I, where we can have new members they immediately count me as a new member. It feels good that I want to cry. It was the first for me. First for me to have friends by my side. Friends that I can rely on, and friends that I'm willing to help wholeheartedly.

This time, I'm not being used. It's funny how sometimes I felt like I'm using them. They are so smart and pretty that they are so reliable that I just want to cry and thank the God above for giving them to me.

This is the most memorable event that have a place in my heart and soul. They are like my blue sky and green garden, they are my safe place.

I want to thank them for breaking me out of my shell. Because of them I am now becoming the best of myself. Because of them, I opened my eyes to a new world where I also can have real friends, friends that won't see me as a piggy bank but for someone they can see as a friend.

To someone who had a similar experiences as me. Do not give up, just like love who comes and not being chased, it's the same for friendship. I'm not a beautiful girl that can attract people to me, so I'm thankful for my three friends who stick by my side. Because of them, I now have more than five friends. So, if you are someone like me who can't trust people. Trust me, you will also meet someone who is worth your time and love. Maybe not as a romantic partner, but partners who will stay by your side who will tease you to make you smile. Partners who will squeal with you when you talk about your favorite stuffs. Partners who will stay up all night with you to study for the upcoming exam.

If I found my partners, so will you.

El combate que todo el mundo esperaba. Desde la era de los cuatro cinturones, no han estado en posesión de un mismo boxeador. Lennox Lewis fue el último en ser campeón unificado en 1999 A. GARCÍA Tyson Fury y Oleksandr Usyk llegaron a un acuerdo para subir al ring en un combate que supondrá la unificación del campeonato mundial del peso pesado. Desde que comenzó la era de los cuatro cinturones en 2004, no ha habido ningún campeón indiscutible de los pesados. El último púgil que en los pesados unificó los cinturones en vigor fue Lennox Lewis. El 13 de noviembre de 1999 derrotó a Evander Holyfield en su revancha por la unificación que ocho meses antes terminó con empate en decisión dividida. El duelo entre Usyk y Fury se ha convertido en realidad una vez que se conoció que ambos boxeadores han llegado a un acuerdo para pelear en Arabia Saudí. Ambos habrían firmados el��contrato del combate que podría disputarse en enero de 2024 aunque no se descarta adelantarlo al 23 de diciembre. Fury: "Solo puedo ser el mejor de mi era" "Estoy encantado de firmar esta pelea. Es la más grande que podría realizarse en nuestro deporte. Los pesos pesados siempre despiertan la imaginación de los fanáticos, y no tengo ninguna duda de que este será el evento de boxeo más grande del siglo", declaró el promotor Frank Warren en una entrevista para la BBC. Fury tiene antes la pelea con Francis Ngannou (ex peso pesado de la UFC), que se celebrará en Riad (Arabia Saudí) el 28 de octubre. Entre los dos púgiles se repartirán una bolsa de 60 millones de dólares y habrá 30 más para el ganador. El ucraniano Usyk (21-0, 14 KO) mantuvo sus tres coronas mundiales del peso pesado (WBA-IBF-WBO) a finales de agosto en el Estadio Municipal de Breslavia (Polonia), al derrotar por KO en el noveno asalto al aspirante inglés Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KO). Usyk las había conquistad en septiembre de 2021 ante el defensor Anthony Joshua. Así fue el combate entre Oleksandr Usyk y Tony Bellew que acabó en KO Fury (33-0, 24KO) es el vigente campeón del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) desde que ganará en febrero de 2020 a Deontay Wilder y se coronará por segunda vez tras su victoria ante Wladimir Klitschko en 2015. "Un cagón siempre será un cagón", dijo Tyson Fury despreciando a Usyk tras el combate del ucraniano ante Dubois. "Noquearía a Usyk fácilmente. Se rajó cuando Dubois le pegó un golpe bajo. Estaba rodando sobre la lona chillando", afirmó el 'Rey Gitano'. Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Frazier, Foreman, Tyson... La pelea entre Usyk y Fury entronca con los grandes momentos que han deparados los pesos pesados. La expectación sitúa el combate a un nivel similar al de otros combates en este categoría pero con la condición inédita de estar en liza los cuatro cinturones. El ring vibró en su momento con el primer duelo entre Muhammad Ali y Joe Frazier en marzo de 1971 en el Madison Square Garden. Se llegó a los 15 asaltos y ganó Frazier por decisión unánime. En 1975 la revancha se disputó en Manila en un duelo ('Thrilla in Manila') que ganó Ali como ganador por K.O. técnico al final del decimocuarto asalto . "Es lo más cercano a la muerte que he estado nunca", afirmó Ali. Así mandó a la lona Joe Frazier a Muhammad Ali Un años antes, Muhammad Ali y George Foreman protagonizaron Rumble in the Jungle el 30 de octubre de 1974. Ali llegó tras perder contra Joe Frazier y Ken Norton, mientras que Foreman había ganado sus 40 peleas anteriores. Victoria para Ali. La nómina de grandes combates en los pesados cuenta con otro ilustres enfrentamientos como el de Mike Tyson y Evander Holyfield con mordisco de oreja incluido. Más recientes, están los títulos de Vitali Klitschko, Anthony Joshua o Deontay Wilder. El Fury-Usyk estará a otro nivel.

[Chorkonzert] UST Singers oder ist das denn noch Chormusik?

Endlich, ja endlich habe ich es geschafft! Ich war in der Thomas Morus Kirche in Gießen. Dies ist ein running gag zwischen mir und Jakob Handrack, dem Vorsitzenden des Fördervereins der Kulturkirche Thomas Morus, in Gießen. Ich wusste schon lange, dass in dieser Kulturkirche immer wieder besondere Veranstaltungen stattfinden, die einen mitreißen, aber irgendwie war immer etwas Anderes, mal war ich krank, nicht da oder Corona wütete. Passender Weise war diesmal Chorona Buseck zusammen mit der Kulturkirche Thomas Morus der Veranstalter. Wobei ich sagen muss, dass es den Chor Chorona Buseck seit 2005 gibt. Wie es Dr. Thomas Kreiling es so ausdrückte, könnte man sagen, der Virus Corona wurde nach dem Chor benannt und definitiv nicht umgekehrt! Komme ich nun zu den Hauptakteuren des heutigen Nachmittags, den UST Singers. Sie sind ein Chor aus Manila auf den Philippinen. Dieser Chor besteht seit genau 30 Jahren und macht nun schon seine 36 Welttournee. Jetzt könnte man sagen, ok dies sagt nichts über die Qualität des Chores aus, aber irgendwie dann doch, denn dieser Chor hat die Luciano Pavarotti-Trophäe nicht einmal, sondern zweimal gewonnen und dies als einziger Chor weltweit. Wenn nun also ein Chor mit Weltruf nach Gießen kommt und man Musik in jeder Form liebt, dann sollte man sich auf den Weg in die Kulturkirche machen. Dies war sogar noch kostenlos, vielleicht mit einer kleinen Spende versehen. Ich glaube, das kann man auf alle Fälle machen. Wir wurden von Jakob Handrack und Dr. Thomas Kreiling begrüßt, was kurz und knapp gehalten wurde. Es war genau die richtige Länge, da jeder gespannt auf den Chor wartete. Da die Kirche wirklich bis auf den letzten Platz (sogar Stehplatz) gefüllt war, litt die Akustik der Ansagen etwas, denn das, was vorne gesagt wurde, war hinten auch mit Lautsprechern nur schwer zu verstehen. Da ich, wie man weiß, lieber steht, als dass jemand anderes, der es nötiger hat nicht sitzen kann, konnte ich heute auch keine Notizen machen, welche Stücke denn gesungen wurden. Im ersten Teil war es sakrale Chormusik, die immer mehr in die aktuellere christliche Musik überging. Selbst Gospel wurde zum Besten gegeben. Es war vollkommen egal, was gesungen wurde, diese Stimmen der Männer und Frauen der UST Singers waren einfach umwerfend. Ich bekomme jetzt noch Gänsehaut, wenn ich an die Solisten denke. Dieses Miteinander und dieses Ergänzen der Stimmen, wie ein Organismus, der komplett abgestimmt ist, wo jeder weiß, wie er singen muss und wie er seinen Ton treffen muss, ist eine Welt für sich. Man kann jetzt sagen, ja das ist doch normal, dies kann doch jeder Chor, aber nur wenn ein Chor eine perfekte Einheit bildet, kommt so ein Klangerlebnis dabei heraus. Wenn dann insgesamt ca. 30 Sänger und Sängerinnen vor einem stehen und es ist eine Lautstärke, dass man einfach nichts mehr Anderes wahrnehmen kann und will, und man zur Pause Standing Ovations gibt, man sich schon auf den nächsten Teil freut und nicht einmal auf die Uhr geschaut hat, dann kann man sicher sein, dass man etwas Tolles erlebt hat und dabei sind wir ja erst bei der Halbzeit. Dass da einige Sänger/innen, von anderen Chören der Meinung waren, dass sie dieses Level wohl nie erreichen würden, geschenkt. Ich glaube, dies werden nur wenige Chöre konstant abrufen können. Dazu noch ein wenig Moderation, damit man weiß, was auf einen zu kommt und dies auch noch auf Deutsch, nötigt mir den vollsten Respekt ab. Nach etwas zu trinken und Luft schnappen ging es weiter. Diesmal ging es in die Richtung Volksmusik und noch ein paar Stücke aus Musicals. Diese Darbietung der Stücke zusammen mit diesen Stimmen, die immer wieder ein Highlight waren, egal ob es die Solistinnen oder Solisten waren oder der gesamte Chor, so muss dies einfach klingen. und nein, auch die Stücke aus dem Musicalbereich waren nicht die, die man immer hört, sondern Stücke, die man vielleicht kennt, aber nicht ständig aufgeführt werden. Das die Kirche sich erhob, als das „letzte“ Stück gesungen wurde, kann sich wohl jeder vorstellen, der diesen Text bis jetzt gelesen hat. Dass es dann noch drei Zugaben gab, oder waren es sogar vier, war fast zu erwarten. Es waren zwei Stunden Musik vom Feinsten und ich konnte nicht anders als Applaudieren und würde es wahrscheinlich auch jetzt noch, wenn ich die Möglichkeit hätte, das Konzert noch etwas zu verlängern. Komme ich nun zu etwas, was mir wirklich wichtig ist. An diesem Sonntagmittag waren wirklich viele Menschen in diesem Konzert. Es waren Familien da, Mütter mit kleinen Kindern, auch Babys habe ich gesehen. Jetzt dürfte man ja meinen, dass diese Kinder gestört hätten, laut waren, geweint hätten oder was auch immer. Nein, ganz im Gegenteil, auch die waren vollkommen hin und weg. Sie haben vielleicht mal etwas gezappelt oder vielleicht auch mal mit der Mama oder Papa geredet, aber, und das muss gesagt werden, sie haben in keiner Situation gestört. Jeder, egal ob ganz jung oder ganz alt, hat diesen Nachmittag in der Thomas Morus Kirche genossen. Und somit ist eines vollkommen klar, wenn gute Musik geboten wird, ist es egal ob es nun sakrale Musik ist oder ein Popklassiker, wenn dies an einem Nachmittag im Juli dargeboten wird und jeder auf den Nebenmann achtet und mit der Person neben einem dieses Fest der guten Musik feiert, dann ist es egal, welche Hautfarbe, Geschlecht oder Alter man hat. Es gibt etwas Verbindendes und man genießt es. Meine Frage in der Überschrift war, ob die UST Singers noch Chormusik sind. Ja, sind sie und sie zeigen jedem auf, wie wichtig und schön es ist, zusammen zu musizieren, in diesem Fall mit dem Körper, also dem Instrument, welches wir alle mit uns führen. Gut, nicht jeder von uns, am wenigsten ich, wird jemals so gut singen wie dieser Chor aus Manila, aber wie wäre es, versucht es mal, mit anderen in einem Chor zu singen. Es gibt so viele Chöre, die auch etwas neues versuchen, wie z.B. der Chor Chorona aus Buseck oder viele andere. Und wenn nicht, dann besucht doch mal ein Chorkonzert. Es finden immer wieder welche statt, bestimmt auch in deiner Nähe. Einfach mal versuchen und eines sage ich euch, wenn Kinder „still“ sind und es toll finden, dann liegt dies nicht immer nur an der Erziehung, sondern einfach daran, dass es ihnen gefällt und sie sind damit immer die ehrlichsten Kritiker. Somit darf ich einen Wunsch äußern. Bitte, lieber Dr. Thomas Kreiling und Jakob Handrack, sorgt bitte noch oft dafür, dass dieser oder ähnliche Chöre nach Gießen und Umgebung kommen! Mich würde es freuen und sicher noch ganz viele andere, die diesen Chor gehört haben. Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Conoce a la nueva Miss universo

R'Bonney Nola Gabriel; es una mujer nacida el 20 de marzo de 1994 nacionalizada en Houston Texas, de padre filipino, Remigio Bonzon "R. Bon" Gabriel, y de madre estadounidense blanca, Dana Walker, quienes se casaron en Filipinas. Creció en la ciudad de Missouri y luego en Friendswood, con tres hermanos mayores. Su padre nació en Filipinas y es de Manila , luego emigró al estado de Washington a la edad de 25 años, luego recibió una licenciatura en psicología en la Universidad de Houston y abrió un taller de reparación de automóviles. Su madre es de Beaumont, Texas . Gabriel se graduó de la Universidad del Norte de Texas con una licenciatura en diseño de moda con especialización en fibras. Trabaja como diseñadora creando ropa ecológica y como modelo. Ha trabajado como instructora de costura en una organización sin fines de lucro. Es la primera ganadora de su estado, Texas y la novena mujer americana en lograr la codiciada corona del certamen de belleza internacional. La última en haberlo logrado de este país fue Olivia Culpo en Miss Universse 2012. Fue coronada por la representante de la India Harnaaz Sandhu. Se estima que los premios incluyen apartamento, contratos con patrocinadores de alta moda, viajes por todo el mundo en obras de caridad y un salario anual de 300 mil dólares. Su primera incursión en el espectáculo fue cuando se unió a Miss Kemah USA 2020, donde se ubicó entre las 5 finalistas principales. Compitió en Miss Texas USA 2021 como Miss Harris County y quedó como primera finalista detrás de Victoria Hinojosa de McAllen, y volvió a participar al año siguiente quedando como ganadora. También conocida como R'Bonney Nola, es un diseñadora de modas estadounidense y modelo que fue coronada el pasado sábado en la Gala 71 celebrada en Nueva Orleans como Miss Universo 2022 , convirtiéndose en la novena participante de los Estados Unidos en ganar el título, así como en la participante de mayor edad en ser coronada, superando a Andrea Meza de México. Gabriel fue coronada previamente como Miss USA 2022. Su color de ojos es avellana y mide 1.70 metro. Las candidatas semifinalistas del resto de Latinoamérica tuvieron una posición destacada, alcanzando Miss República Dominicana y Venezuela las posiciones más cercanas para triunfar, pero el jurado fue muy exigente y variado esta ocasión y pareciera que el continente de preferencia pasó de Asia hasta América. Después de la coronación, se comentó que la ganadora fue ingnorada por sus demás compañeras de concurso al no felicitarle, e incluso se inclinaban hacia la Miss que quedó de segunda finalista. Una miss reveló tras bambalinas que simplemente agunas se llevaban mejor con uno u oro grupo. Las controversias surgieron, y otros alegaban que la desición final fue manipulada por la organización para beneficiar a Miss USA, lo cierto es que la candidata de belleza demostró sus cualidades, sencillez, inteligencia, naturalidad en la pasarela, confianza en sí misma y belleza. Luego Gabriel respondió posteriormente en una entrevista que "jamás participaría en un concurso con resultados arreglados o amañados". En otra entrevista la nueva reina confesó que uno de sus trucos para lograr la corona fue no bañarse en una semana para preservar su tratamiento de bronceado artificial y el volumen de su cabellera castaña.

I experienced a lot of difficulties when i was 15 years old.It was the year of 2020 where in the Taal Volcano erupted and it was the most difficult scenario for me,since we didn't have a car, we can't evacuate immediately. We waited for the morning, and during the night we felt the earthquakes and we were full of fear.I am with my mom, brother and my grandma who has a asthma there is also no electricity that time so we are afraid that her asthma might attract because of the ash falls.And the next day the, out side of our house is full of ashfall and we move out,my mom and uncle find a rescue that can help us,Fortunately, there were good people who helped us to give us a ride. on our way to manila we went to my aunt's house we stayed there for weeks i also had fun there because the environment is kinda different from where i come from.But maybe after weeks my mom,me and brother decided to visit our house because the volcano is already calm and there is already no earth quake we cleaned the house so we can stay there, there are also many people going back to there house to clean,my grandma stayed at my aunt's house since there are still ashfall.A month past and we already recovered from the Volcano i also went back to school for weeks but after that a virus was announced in the tv and it was said that it might cause death,it was the Corona virus or Covid19.Because of that the lockdown was implemented i thought it will last for Weeks but it didn't it last for months and years,and affects not just us but every one.My grandma also died that hurts my mom's feelings the most,it is because of her asthma she had difficulty in breathing even she already has a tank of oxygen and she also lost appetite to eat,and maybe she's also already old enough,my mom was afraid to take her to the hospital because the doctors might just tell that it is a covid19 because of some symptoms.Since going out is not allowed i spend my whole year inside of our house with my family members.

First Day Out

Today was my first to be out of the house since ECQ started because of the Corona Virus. Travel going to Manila felt weird. There’s something about being stuck inside the house for the longest time that made this travel quite uneasy. Nonetheless, I’m happy that I was able to finally see my favorite city again, Manila. I was also able to see friends at the First United Building in Escolta.

Here are shots taken around the streets during my morning walk. It’s weird to see everyone with their face masks on, and very few people walking around. Still enjoyed shooting. I missed doing this. I also took extra precautions while shooting in case you are wondering.

Anyway, stay safe everyone!

Los Angeles – Golden Globe awardee Darren Criss talked to us recently via Blue Jeans video conferencing on how he is coping during this age of lockdown and self-isolation.

“Well, I will say I don’t have this kind of time ordinarily. This kind of time at home is so rare for me and my lifestyle, that this is the kind of time that I used to fantasize about,” he said. “Obviously, I would not have preferred for it to actually come at the horrible expense of millions of lives being endangered and the economy turning upside down and the general chaos that is outside. Obviously I would not have wanted that to be the reason for me to have this time, but because I do have it, I have to say I’ve turned these lemons into a significant amount of delicious lemonade because let me just say this, the days that have gone by, we don’t have enough time for me to tell you how much it is I am working on.

“Between, there’s a lot of fun stuff and personal stuff, there’s fun stuff and then there is stuff that is really enriching to me that I think a lot of us have been doing, connecting with friends and catching up on movies and maybe taking care of yourself, working out, all this stuff that you wish you could do ordinarily. But for me it’s like practicing my drums, learning Japanese, doing all these projects that I wish I had time for…”

Darren stars on the web drama TV miniseries “Hollywood” set in post-World War II Hollywood which follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers and how they try to make it in Tinsel town at all costs.

He talked about his half-Filipino character on the series.

“I think Ryan has always been fascinated with my sort of ethnic background and my own identity,” he revealed. “And being biracial is a very interesting duality for anybody that’s mixed race or half. You’re always wondering what part of you is being most represented in society. Is it how people see you, is that how you see yourself? It’s a very strange thing, especially when you have a public profile, like I’ve somehow managed to amass. So, I think he really wanted to utilize that in the show because it isn’t about a lot of people that are feeling restricted. Because the adversary of this show is the 1940s. Is the society that and social constructs that, that are pushing people down, pushing people back. So, it would maybe be a shame to not maybe mention that. I have a very unique situation where I’m half Asian but I’m also white passing. And so what does that mean for somebody in a world where he would maybe want to bring that up? It’s the opposite of now, it’s all I bring up.

“I love bringing up I am Filipino because I feel like it makes me cooler. I’d rather have just looking at a community know that I’m Filipino. Whereas somebody like my character, Raymond, maybe had a bit of trepidation about that because maybe it was a world where he would’ve been pushed out of an industry that he wanted to be a part of. So he uses this sort of white half of himself to get in there in order to be an advocate for other marginalized people. He feels like a responsibility to use this sort of almost secret ace up his sleeve to change things. And I’m glad, that was Ryan’s idea, not mine. But everybody comes in with a different thing whether it’s their age, their race, their sexual identity, whether the people themselves or the character is on the show they’re all adding to a different variable in the equation of trying to make the world and Hollywood think about itself differently. It’s what Ryan does; Ryan did the same thing. Ryan has used film and television as a social justice crusade for people that he advocates.”

He added, “It’s a huge part of my background. But it wasn’t until the past few years where the idea of being white passing or the idea of a part of your identity being unrecognized was ever really a concept to me. I think it was made clear because there are so many people, either from the Filipino community or other historically marginalized groups that kind of gave me the term of oh you are white passing. And I never thought of that because my whole life, I just was me.

“I knew I was Filipino, my dad was white, and it was what it was. And so I never thought of that as an internal conflict or an issue until honestly working on ‘Versace.’ And it was a conflict for Andrew Cunanan because it was something that he tried to hide because he was ashamed and he didn’t want to be different, whereas the villain in this scenario is less the self and more, the main antagonist of this show is the 1940s and the suppression and repression that comes from the time itself.

“So I think I am happy to say I don’t relate to my character because I have never really felt slighted in any way because of my background. I am very lucky in that way, I have always felt very supported and welcomed and that’s just a lot of luck and I am very grateful in my life for the people who have given me that.”

Birthday lockdown

Yesterday, the President declared a Luzon-wide lockdown because of mounting cases of COVID-19. People are literally inside their houses either working from home or waiting for news. A lot of people take this as a way of resetting and relaxing as the lockdown will run for a month (until April 14). But a lot more are stressing -- some line up in groceries hoping to get food supplies so they won’t have to leave as often, many are stranded on the metro’s borders with Cainta and San Jose del Monte, while several more are still forced to go to work or else they’d die from starvation. These are everyday realities we often see and usually brush off, but now the pandemic forces us to look at them squarely and scramble for solutions to stave off the other adverse impacts of this already crippling crisis.

A year older and I could not fathom what I’d been if I hadn’t understood much deeper how our society and economy works. I could have remained a contrarian, a Marcos apologist, and someone who’d most likely blame people for going to work instead of staying at home. But many circumstances, and I am dearly grateful for that, took off those rose-tinted lens and allowed me to see that the world is not as rosy as it seems. I call this my Bartimaeus moment-- that Bible story where a blind man asked Jesus to let him see. When Jesus prayed and touched his eyes with mud, he gained his sight. Or it could also be akin to Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. Either of those, you get the point.

Working at an NGO and doing field work, then dealing with haughty and nice public officials alike, basically pushes you to rethink how governance should be. What should we demand from our officials, how accountability works. But what made it much more vivid was when I returned to university three years ago and decided to teach. I’ve seen how poverty literally diminishes our life goals and how opportunities that could have levelled us off with the rich and mighty, remain aspirations and mere messages of resilience. 

So when a crisis as serious as a pandemic hits a third world country like the Philippines, we’re helpless. We can’t demand anything from our government because they don’t even know what to do or they’re ill-fitted for the jobs they thought would only bring them prestige. “Gusto ko makatulong kaya ako tumakbo,” doesn’t just cut it. We need more than your drive to help or your generosity. We need a leader whom we can count on, someone who inspires us to fight off this viral outbreak amid setbacks. Resilience won’t kill the virus, but it is an ember of hope we can always return to when we feel the cold madness of this crisis. Right now, we can’t feel that from our government. Partly there’s a problem in communication - how do we get our health messages across? how do we encourage people to not believe in easy remedies like bananas or drinking alcohol? how do we get people to help and not panic? 

But a larger gap lies on the ineptitude of our leadership and their refusal to admit that this public health problem requires a medical and scientific solution. I think we don’t have a problem with the lockdown. But we need more than that. Push for mass testing, prioritize the ordinary workers (e.g. those working in airports and seaports who may have more exposure to the virus), follow the testing procedure both for ordinary people and for prominent ones. Spend DPWH budget on sanitizing all govt agencies, infrastructure and faciltiies, public transportation and roads. Use DSWD money to assist poor families so they won’t force themselves to go to work. Tell BIR to do a moratorium on tax collections, channel their efforts instead in designing a tax relief program for companies who pledge to support their workers who won’t work for a month. There’s a lot government could do, but they’re not as bright as they like to project themselves. At least the Boovs fused brains to think of ideas how to prevent their mass extinction. We’re just letting our President ramble on for hours in front of the camera at the expense of public money that could have been used to purchase materials that may have halted covid spread. 

When Bartimaeus saw the light he was grateful and promised to follow Christ. No more account of him on the Bible after this moment, but I’d like to think he did good on his promise and more. Today, I hope we’ve seen the light. Promise to demand more from this government. Help out but express rage. Extend your hands and resources to help those in need but remain vigilant.

This birthday is one for the books. Manila on a lockdown, no chance to escape the urban jungle for fresher air in the countryside. I planned hiking Batad and doing a Thanos retreat except that I won’t wipe the world out with my infinity stone. (I think it did kind of happen with this viral outbreak). Did not pan out. Before I was able to leave the city, the announcement broke the news and I’m forced to stay at home. 

Still, it’s a good time to count the many bleassings I received. To reflect and rest, to finally complete backlogs with the interruptions of our daily office grind. To understand ways to better study this crisis and help in developing better research for future policies. Many more to pray for, but for today, I am grateful to have endured another year of empathy and new lessons, losses and heartache, and triumph and joy. Cheers to feeling fine at 29!

Kena Lockdown Season 3 di Manila

Manila, 26 Maret 2020 - Kebetulan gw tinggal di Manila, dan hari ini Manila sudah menginjakkan kaki di Season 3 masa lockdown. Season 1 berlangsung satu bulan, season 2 berlangsung setengah bulan, dan sekarang ditambah season 3 dengan kurun waktu setengah bulan. Jadi saat ini gw udah mencapai rekor di hidup gw denan berada di rumah selama satu setengah bulan di rumah, dan ini masih berlanjut.

Lockdown di Manila juga digabung dengan sistem jam malam andalan Sang Presiden. Jadi gw ga bisa keluar di malam hari (8.00pm - 5.00am).

Semua toko tutup, kecuali apotek dan supermarket. Restoran dan warung boleh buka, tapi kalau mau beli harus dibawa pulang. Namun banyak banget restoran dan warung makan yang memilih untuk tutup total karena takut ada yang terjangkit Coronavirus. Gw sering menggunakan jasa GrabFood, Food Panda, dan Lala Food sih, cuma ongkirnya ga worth it dengan harga makanannya. Sedangkan kalo gw mau belanja bahan di supermarket, mau masuk gedung pun harus antre berjam-jam dulu karena banyaknya orang yang ingin mengeruk makanan di sana. 

Tololnya Presiden Filipina itu dia ngelarang work from home. Jadi Filipina ekonominya bener-bener berhenti selama berbulan-bulan. Prediksi gw sih setelah ini Filipina bakal dilanda krisis ekonomi. Dia berpikir bahwa uang bisa dicari, tapi kalau kehilangan nyawa, tidak bisa dibalikin. Bener sih omongannya, cuma kan menurut gw buat apa lu punya umur panjang tapi lu ga bisa menikmati hidup karena krisis moneter yang berkepanjangan. Orang hidup kan cari kebahagiaan supaya bisa dinikmati.
