The Wheel and Axle

It’s a big world after all.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Well, Todrick Hall certainly brought back lots of fab memories for the 80s/90s kid in me.

This is just fun and amazing.

As I’ve been doing more and more travel in the last few years, I’ve come to use AirBnB more frequently. I really only registered some time late in 2016, and so far I’ve really appreciated this as an alternative to accommodations. It doesn’t mean I’ve foregone traditional hotels and hostels, but knowing an alternative exists is great.

Last weekend, to celebrate my birthday with my besties, we decided to do a staycation just here in Metro Manila. We were considering a couple of hotels, but those we wanted were largely fully booked. I then found an intriguing listing on AirBnB, a loft unit in The Gramercy Residences, and it was a fantastic choice.

Here’s something to make your Monday feel good in anticipation of the long week ahead.

And I couldn’t agree more.

I cannot say I’m a big fan of DC’s Elongated Man a.k.a. Ralph Dibny. While I like him enough, especially when he and his wife Sue were with Justice League Europe, I always preferred Plastic Man in the strechy super-hero game.

Ralph had already been mentioned as an easter egg on CW’s The Flash TV show, and given that he was Barry’s best friend in the comics, it was only a matter of time before they bring him in. And this past week, they announced that they’ve cast the character for a recurring Season 4 role, and boy did they get it right (visually, at least – let’s see how they actually write him).

Maritess will never, ever grow old. And with Justice League coming out later this year, it’s just but awesome for me to dig this out of YouTube – oh, and for the record, I first saw this years before YouTube ever even existed.

Go, go, Maritess! Happy Friday, everyone.

Here’s a little pick-me-up if you’re feeling down this week.

Just remember: there will be people there for you, and just be who you want to be.

Be beautiful.

It’s the big four-oh today, but cliched as it may sound, it does seem that it feels like the new thirty. It’s the age of continuous exploration for me, and it does feel that life just does begin at forty.

I’ve learned in the past couple of years to truly make the most of life. Always.

Never keep life bottled in, or you may live to regret life itself, and who wants that?

As long as it makes you happy and you’re hurting no one, be who you want to be and do what you want to do with your life.

Life is what you make of it.
