November 14, 2024. As I hear of news that another typhoon will hit us (the 5th this month), mixed feelings engulf me as I try to work. 1. We will overcome this - we just... have to. 2. What if it's stronger? Will we be ready enough? I've been through many - and the feeling of tiredness seeps... It's like fighting a war, emerging victorious in battle, but wearied and tired. Only to fight in another battle, then another, then another, then another... They say that persistent natural calamities can affect mental health. Only resilience. If feels like being buried in mud, then forcing your way to climb out with only your hand sticking out.

my classmate in high school went to japan. He said it is an OCD person's paradise.

Trezor Safe v2.8.3 Reproducible Build for @walletscrutiny

We Filipinos are used to disaster. We literally ABCDEFG the names of Typhoons every year. So it feels surreal, watching first world nations experience this. The events are almost always the same pattern. If you're poor - the only preparation you can make is to store clean water. If you are not on good terms with family, you can't evacuate anywhere, except the crowded public schools. Usually, the aftermath is felt after the storm and not before it. One thing in common with poor countries and rich, is when the shit hits the fan - comes finger-pointing politician time.

Sad thing about many rural regions - not just Japanese I guess

For those who are following me, you must forgive me for the many youtube videos of Japan. We Filipinos are always surrounded by people and it is becoming quite a struggle. The thought of living in a quiet place, feels quite appealing to me.

Teves, who served as Finance chief during the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said a high debt load means that the country needs to divert funds to pay its obligations--funds that could have been used instead for more productive purposes. When the government borrows money from banks, this also means that there is less money to lend to the private sector, he added. Economic managers need to ensure that the debt level does not exceed "international prudence standards" according to Teves.

Located in Wakayama Prefecture, This Western-style building is a deserted mansion with a fascinating history that is said to be the inspiration for Himuro Mansion from the game Fatal Frame. Although they have striking similarities such as being located on top of a mountain and involving hauntings. Its true origin sets it apart. Constructed in 1910, the opulent villa was the residence of Asajiro Yura, a prominent and affluent Japanese businessman. Born in 1878, Asajiro hailed from the Yura family, renowned textile dyers associated with the Kishu Tokugawa clan. After completing his education at Osaka University, he embarked on a venture in the dye industry, transforming his family's business. As the world plunged into the chaos of World War I in 1914, Asajiro faced a critical predicament. With imports of dyestuffs from Germany halted due to the conflict, Japan's dye industry, heavily reliant on these supplies, faced peril. As the German Empire possessed exclusive manufacturing technology, the situation seemed dire. Yet, Asajiro rose to the challenge and became the first in Japan to successfully refine industrial-grade pure benzene, a significant breakthrough. He also ventured into producing phenol for disinfection and played a pivotal role in manufacturing Shimose gunpowder and set explosives during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Asajiro's expertise became instrumental in post-war Wakayama's chemical industry and fostered connections with military officials. Rumors even suggested that Asajiro Yura's had gatherings which provided him with insider information on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, Asajiro passed away in 1964 at the age of 86, leaving behind a family legacy. The mansion remained within the Yura family's possession until the 1980s when they relocated after the tragic loss of one of their children to a severe illness. Since around 2005, the Mori no Hai Western-style building gradually fell into disuse and obscurity, its historical significance fading with time
