Went riding with the Big Bros yesterday Saturday.
Rode over 46km. I think I overdid it. Should've bailed at #Taguig.

my toxic trait is constantly imagining how a new bag will fix all my problems (but of course we're waiting for a big sale)
feat: local brand blanc nué with their customisable bags -- straps and bags are interchangeable and smaller bags can be attached to bigger ones
they participate in a lot of fairs around #manila so you're probably gonna see them around somewhere too!

I got my first holiday greetings yesterday.
The holiday season is on full-swing now, and everyone seems more busy (or hassled) than usual.
Here's a idea for yourself or your loved ones: if you're in #Manila, and not necessarily just for the @pinoy|s, and interested in #meditation, there's a #Zen Center in the city that offers classes (and #vegetarian meals!) for zero bucks.
Here's a of their exact location

The free walking tour on Dec. 7 includes the Pasig River Esplanade, Jones Bridge, Yuchengco Plaza, Calle Escolta, First United Building, Intramuros Riverside, and Plaza Roma. @pinoy

"But the streak of violent weather was forecast to continue in the central Philippines, where Tropical Storm #ManYi is set to reach coastal waters by Sunday.
The weather service said it could potentially strike at or near the heavily populated capital, #Manila."

While I wasn’t affected too much by recent storms / #typhoons (at worst it was just rainy weather), the incoming #ManYi / #PepitoPH is likely the closest to approach #Manila, #Philippines .
The inspiration for these maps came from the numerous world maps that highlight the amount and breadth of geolocated #Wikidata items as seen in this #WikimediaCommons category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Maps_of_the_world_about_Wikidata
One of these maps showing the data as of October 2024 is attached. As you can see, Europe is very bright and the Philippines is kinda dark, so I wanted to create maps for the country showing where the items are concentrated. As expected, #Manila is the bright spot.

Singer Olivia Rodrigo is an advocate for reproductive rights. For her U.S. tour dates, she partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds and in February, she launched Fund 4 Good, a global initiative for reproductive freedom. Her latest move: All net ticket sales from her show in Manila were donated to Jhpiego, a charity that provides access to services like reproductive health care and HIV/AIDS education in the Philippines and beyond. Rodrigo is part Filipina and said she had visited the Jhpiego organization on her visit. “It was the most special show and the most meaningful trip. To say I’m grateful doesn’t even cut it! Mahal kita," she wrote on Instagram.

@selzero 2/2 how fast things changed: By 1976 she was trading stocks as an expat from #manila. Her #Merrill broker accepted a collect call every day 5 days a week. By 1976 I had a checking account of my own. 1978 I too had a brokerage account, bank came to my women’s college campus in the South to issue credit cards to college students, and by 1979 I had a #schwab money market fund. And by 1979, student loans for MBA program.

The #Tsinoy community has contributed much to the nation’s history since the first wave of #ChineseImmigrants moved to #Manila from #Fujian province in the 1500s.
Despite these rich ties, anti-Chinese sentiments have been growing among #Filipinos in recent years as #Beijing ramped up its aggressive actions against Philippine ships in the disputed #SouthChinaSea.
