Filipino climber PJ Santiago dies on Everest during summit push | INQToday


Habang tinatype ko 'to, naiisip ko kung gaano karaming tao pa ang gustong mabuhay—hindi lang basta mabuhay, kundi mabigyan pa ng isa pang araw, isa pang oras, kahit ilang segundo lang—para lang makapagpatuloy sa pag-abot ng mga pangarap nila. May mga taong kahit pagod na, kahit ang bigat na ng dinadala, pilit pa ring lumalaban kasi may gusto silang marating, may dahilan silang hindi bumitaw.

Tapos meron din namang iba na handang isugal ang lahat—pati na ang sariling buhay—para lang matupad ang pangarap nila. Para sa ilan, parang kabaliwan 'yon. Pero para sa kanila, ‘yun ang kahulugan ng buhay: ang ipaglaban kung ano ang mahalaga sa’yo, kahit gaano pa ito kahirap, kahit gaano ka pa masaktan sa proseso.

Iba-iba talaga tayo ng landas. Iba-iba ng trip, ng diskarte, ng pananaw sa tagumpay. Hindi natin palaging maiintindihan ang choices ng ibang tao. Tulad ng mga umaakyat sa Mt. Everest at iba pang matataas at delikadong bundok—bakit nga ba nila gustong gawin 'yon, kahit nakakatakot, kahit may posibilidad na hindi na sila makababa? Pero siguro nga, iba ang fulfillment na dala ng ganung uri ng tagumpay—‘yung maramdaman mong nalampasan mo ang imposible.

Tayo rin, may kanya-kanyang "Mt. Everest" sa buhay. May kanya-kanya tayong bundok na gusto nating akyatin, sa iba’t ibang dahilan—para sa pamilya, para sa sarili, para sa mga pangarap na ayaw nating bitawan.

Ikaw ba? Ano ang pangarap mo? Gaano kalayo ang kaya mong tahakin, gaano kataas ang kaya mong akyatin para lang matupad 'yon?

HUGE Sinkhole in Philippines Found

I received this email from a friend in Aussie right after I posted a link about the Guatemala sinkhole. Filipinos are the best! hahah! upssss.  -------- 8 Amazing Holes! These holes are not only amazing, but some of these are really terrifying -   especially #8!   The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.   1. Kimberley Big Hole , South Africa   A pparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.   2. Glory Hole , Monticello Dam , CA   A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir.   This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.   3. Bingham Canyon Mine , Utah   This is supposedly the largest man-mad...

Comments from youtubers: I’m not pro-Duterte and anti-Marcos but to be objective, I strongly agree Duterte did a better job. Considering the Covid-19 pandemic occurred under the Duterte administration, he still did a great job. @ @kirksolina1033 @blackitsugayatoshiro6609 Minus the Pandemic and the Terrorist who destroyed Marawi, the progress will be much more felt.
