Life lately

Yesterday, I watched Chungking Express at MOA. Nakakaamazed yung movie, parang ang boring pero ang ganda ng cinematography and aesthetic nya. Spontaneous na panunuod lang talaga ito, kasi bago ko mag check kung ano ba showing that day is kumain kami nila OM and ni Coach Hiro sa Ikea.

Super happy ako this day kasi pinayagan ako nila OM at SOM na hindi pumasok ng last day. Inaasar pa nga ako ni OM na favorite daw ako ni SOM dahil pinayagan ako. Lol.

Going back to the movie. Parang ang sarap mainlove nuon, wala pang smart phones. More on pager, sulat, usapan at pay phone ang meron that time. Sobrang ma fefeel yung longing ng mga characters sa isat-isa and yung effort na ma keep yung relationship na meron sila.

Napapaisp tuloy ako if mag Hongkong ba ako this year or mag Vietnam talaga. Ang rich ng culture sa Hongkong, not glamorous pero very loud ng culture nila. Ang cute din kasi nung storyline lalo na yung second story. Nag intay talaga si Cop 663 for Faye. Opo, medj hopeless romantic ako. Dahil tuloy dito pinanuod ko yung Falling Angels kaninang umaga which is maganda din!

Planning to watch all wong kar wai masterpiece. 🧡

Why is Denmark among the happiest countries in the world? Danes are one of the people who spend the most time at home, so the answer is here? Roy from Chicago and Yaya from Hong Kong traveled to Denmark to find the answer.

“Watch the house while I'm gone, little brother." "For the fifth time Lucas, I’m not going to call you Big brother!” “You just did.” I commented, only to get a tired groan from inside the house.

I gently closed the door, before locking it. I soon started to walk to a nearby Cafe, where Finland decided we were going to meet up at.

Once I get inside the Cafe, I quickly see Finland sitting in one of the booths. He soon spots me, and waves over for me to sit with him. Which I do after a while. Once I have sat down across from him, he passes me a cup of coffee. Which I softly smile at.

“It has butter just how you like it!” He informs, happily. I nod at him, understanding. We soon started to catch up with each other, talking about how we were for the past few months, as well as what we have started doing.

With Finland taking care of Sealand and Ladonia, as well as Hanatamago he had grown quite busy for the last few months. Sweden on the other hand had been helping out on various construction sites, and Ikea stores.

“So have you found someone yet, Nor?” Finland suddenly asked, making me almost choke on my Coffee. Once I pull myself together, and look back at him I see that he had a mischievous look on his face. In response to his question. I just shake my head.

“You know, you can meet various people on dating apps!” Finland informs me. “Is that right?” I comment, swirling my cup of coffee in my mug, wondering.

After a few more minutes of talking and having fun, we soon part our ways. ‘Dating apps huh?’ I thought to myself, walking back home while looking up at the sky in wonder.

🇳🇴Norway’s P.O.V🇳🇴(Point of View):

After giving it some thought, I have decided that I was going to find someone through various dating apps. I quickly walk down the stairs trying to find Iceland, so that he can help me with it.

After I had found him, and explained to him my situation he had helped me get acquainted with the app. The app being Grindr. “So what kind of type do you like?” Iceland asked me, setting up my profile to get me started.

“I have very high standards. I only fall in love with graceful-” I explained to him, but was soon cut off by a certain Dane stumbling down the stairs. While sitting in a white basket, and landing flat on their face.

“I want that one.” I told him, while pointing at Denmark. I walk towards him only to see a couple of bruises on his face, as well as bumps. I pull him by his necktie quickly, making him lose his air supply, and drag him to my room to bandage him up.

Once we got to my room I made him sit down on my bed, so that I could grab the first-aid box from my bathroom. Once I get back, I start to bandage him up.

After I finished bandaging him up, he pulled me by my wrist making me fall on his bed. I grew suspicious, only to calm down once I realized he was just cuddling me.

“So he’s the right one huh.” I wondered out loud to myself. Once he heard me say this he cuddled more on to me. “Thanks for picking me Nor~!” He cheered, petting my head in a way to make me more comfortable.

“You’re too loud.” I commented, him just chuckling in response. I cuddle back to him, closing my eyes before going to take a nap. Him just cradling me, protectively.

🇮🇸Iceland’s P.O.V🇮🇸(Point of View):

I quickly explained to HongKong what had happened, him just gasping in surprise each time I told him more. “I can’t believe they finally got together! They’re like cute and-” Just then his voice was cut off by various moans and groans.

“Ah~! Go harder Aru!”

“What was that Leon!” I ask him, my fair skin tainted with red blush.

“Oh yeah I forgot to tell you Yao has been like seeing this russian guy at his work. I mean they’re like cute but an odd pair. Seems like they finally got together.” HongKong explained, me just trying to desperately calm my raging blush down. ‘I have to tell him soon too.’ I thought to myself, blushing once again.

Sat down and finished off June with my June 30 matchbox. Realised one of my June boxes was labelled July and spent 6 hours gathering materials, arranging and sticking boxes into frames. Of course I was so focused I didn’t take a picture of my commentary of the time in the studio and trip to Ikea (on a very busy Sunday) until after it was in the box and sealed, so it’s not the best photo. On the way home now to get ready for racing tomorrow. I’m going to try not to roll my eyes during the Uncompromising Integrity Handicap Race (3 in case you were wondering).

It can be hard to keep quiet when those around you reinforce the notion that you ought to be proud of your work, even as you are expected to cloak it in doublespeak. Take voter ID laws: since the 2012 presidential campaign, it’s almost as if every Republican official has been itching to take credit for their effort to prevent minorities and the poor from voting, starting with Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Mike Turzai who bragged: “Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania: done!”

Despite the backlash, this wasn’t even a one-off. A number of other GOP officials came out with similar, bizarrely honest remarks — including the GOP consultant Scott Tranter, who mused about his party’s “toolkit”: voter ID and long lines at polling stations — eventually prompting a Washington Post article titled Republicans keep admitting that voter ID helps them win, for some reason. As the cherry on top, a GOP precinct chair named Don Yelton, a minor party activist interviewed by The Daily Show in 2013, said of voter ID: “If it hurts a bunch of lazy blacks that want the government to give them everything, so be it!”

Donald Trump, too, periodically utters truths that are not supposed to be uttered, as happened again just a couple weeks ago with regard to the shipping industry’s interests in Puerto Rico. But anything at all can come out of his mouth, and does: from drivel, to conspiracy theories, to the left-wing critique of American foreign policy, to more drivel. (And anyway, let’s not talk about Trump.)

He’s quite different from another gaffe-prone leader under whose government I’ve lived. I’m currently based in Hong Kong, and arrived here three years back at a historic moment, just days before the pro-democracy Umbrella Revolution kicked off. Throughout the most tumultuous phase, Hong Kong’s then-leader kept his feet firmly planted in his mouth. CY Leung, the widely-despised chief executive (up until last June), turned into a veritable gaffe machine, high on truth serum. My favorite moment was at the onset of the Year of the Sheep when, in his prepared message for the Lunar New Year’s celebration, he advised Hongkongers to “be more like sheep”.

This was an even more ill-advised choice of words than you might think, as Leung was called “the wolf” by his detractors, one of many puns on his name. As tonal languages, both Cantonese and Mandarin are great for wordplay which often figures into political sloganeering and mockery. (For the same reason, the mainland banned puns a few years back, citing “cultural and linguistic chaos”.)

Thanks to Leung’s nickname, a toy animal sold by Ikea became a mascot of the Umbrella Movement after someone hurled “Lufsig” the wolf at him during a town hall meeting in 2013. The adorable critter — fond of “mischief” according to Ikea’s website — became a sensation and soon sold out. As it turns out, Lufsig’s name was innocent enough in Mandarin, but the same Chinese characters read in Cantonese can be made to sound quite crude. The Swedes were no doubt horrified to find that the local name of their “lumbering one” (as the original roughly translates) could mean “your mother’s pussy” in Cantonese. Worse still, “throw a Lufsig at you” can be translated as “fuck your mother’s pussy”.

Another unforgettable Leung moment was when the chief executive explained in an interview with the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times how the problem with democracy is that poor people would influence policy. “If it’s entirely a numbers game,” he elaborated, “then obviously you’d be talking to the half of the people in Hong Kong who earn less than US$1,800 a month.” It’s almost refreshing when a leader is so clueless that they just come out and say it — imagine how many in the political class think this.

One that jumps to mind is a man whose great-great-grandmother (also his wife’s great-great-grandmother, as it happens) once ruled Hong Kong: the gaffe-prone Prince Philip. Visiting General Alfredo Stroessner — the Nazi-admiring dictator of Paraguay who wiped out entire indigenous populations through ethnic cleansing and slavery — he remarked: “It’s a pleasant change to be in a country that isn’t ruled by its people.” (In another moment of honesty, he told a 13-year-old schoolboy dreaming of space travel: “You’re too fat to be an astronaut.”)

Hillary Clinton, too, has been quite upset at how the electorate inserted itself between her and her coronation. In her new book, Clinton sets out to thoroughly explain how what happened in the presidential election was not her fault, and thus, she cannot forgive those who didn’t vote for her.

It’s hardly surprising that someone this out of touch — unaware she should be asking for forgiveness rather than withholding it — would also be as blithe about modern-day slavery as Sheriff Prator of Louisiana. If there were some way to measure the degree of earnest monstrosity — a “Kinsley scale” of sorts — Hillary Clinton’s infamous admission of employing slaves at the governor’s mansion in Arkansas would be its Planck temperature. As many have noted, this is not rhetorical hyperbole, either: the black prisoners serving her Flavor-Blasted Goldfish Crackers were slaves by any technical or legal definition, fully in accordance with the Thirteenth Amendment.

The Clintons bare a lion’s share of responsibility for turning the USA into the for-profit incarceration nation it is. Hillary Clinton recounted these fond memories of her unpaid servants in the book It Takes a Village, which came out just days before her infamous “superpredator” speech — a term attributed to the bigoted rightwing nutcase John J. DiIulio — about black youths who must be “[brought] to heel”. In her own house, she was strict about enforcing rules, and anyone who “broke a rule” was sent to prison.

Clinton makes no bones about her mud-sill-theory notions of forced labor, either, and sees a happy alignment between the civilizing influence and financial benefits of the arrangement. These people aren’t criminals as a “result of inferior IQs or an inability to apply moral reasoning”, she tells us, but due to an inability to “control their emotions”. Luckily, though,

“…difficult as it may be, it is never too late to teach the elements of emotional intelligence. The structure imposed by the responsibilities of work and the enlightened assistance of concerned people in the prison system and at the governor’s mansion helped those onetime murderers I knew in Arkansas to achieve a greater understanding and control over their feelings and behavior.”

None of the many people involved in writing, editing and publishing the book seem to have seen anything problematic about any of this. That’s pretty much as honest, and terrifyingly so, as it gets.
