“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet, 1902-1908.
Jens Ferdinand Willumsen - A Mountain Climber, 1912.

I think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. That there isn't their life and our life. Nor your life and my life.
That it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled with it as deep as entanglement goes."

PBBM, PINAYUHAN ANG MGA AHENSYA NA WAG MUNANG ASIKASUHIN ANG REGION I AT II SA GITNA NG PANANALASA NG BAGYONG KRISTINE.

Naniniwala si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na wala na silang magagawa kundi ang maghintay na makaalis ang bagyo sa Philippine Area of Responsibility.

Inatasan niya na ang mga ahensya na sumunod lamang sa mga regular na procedure at inutusan niya rin na tanggalan ng kuryente ang mga apektado ng bagyo kung nakalubog na ito sa baha.

“BAKIT TILA YATA PURO SUSPENSION ANG GUSTO NIYO HA?” - Mayor Honey

Umani ng samu’t saring reaksyon ang sariling kumento ni Manila Mayor Honey Lacuña mula sa isa sa kanyang mga posts sa kasagsagan ng pananalasa ng bagyong Kristine sa Luzon.

“Napapansin ko bakit tila yata puro suspension Ang gusto niyo ha? Nag aaral pa ba talaga kayo?
Aalamin po natin Ang kilos ng bagyong Kristine dahil gusto ko rin ligtas kayo at may natututuhan na tama bilang inyong nanay, diba”, saad ni Mayora.

“I hope you can be more professional and responsible po. Not all students studying in Manila reside in Manila. May mga studyante din pong manggagaling sa mga lugar na lubhang tinamaan ng bagyo. At least be considerate of those people who still have to commute from their provinces. Not all areas po are passable and this could even compromise their safety and wellbeing,” kumento naman ng isang netizen.

Kalaunan ay naglabas din ng advisory si Mayor Lacuna na sinususpendi ang klase sa lahat ng antas dahil pa rin sa banta ng bagyong .

“May nagtext! Ayon sa NDRRMC, patuloy na mararamdaman ang hagupit ng bagyong Kristine sa Luzon, dahil po diyan hindi ko na muna kayo papasukin sa school (ALL LEVELS IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE), bukas, Oktobre 25.

Bawal pa rin ang magparty ha! Patuloy nating ipagdasal ang ating mga kababayan na labis na nasalanta ng bagyong Kristine. Magsipag uwi na po kayo. Isang labyu naman diyan mga anak! 😘”, post ni Mayor Lacuna.

Carl Jung’s statement, “Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people,” touches on the essential theme of self-awareness. Jung believed that to engage meaningfully with others, we must first confront the darker aspects of ourselves—the hidden fears, insecurities, and unresolved issues that shape our reactions and judgments. This process of self-examination allows us to develop empathy.
When we know our own darkness, we recognize that we are imperfect, complex, and subject to struggles. This understanding fosters compassion when we encounter others who are dealing with their own shadows. Instead of reacting with judgment or impatience, we can approach them with kindness, because we know what it is like to face inner conflict.
This insight also helps in avoiding projection. Often, we project our unresolved issues onto others, seeing in them the faults we dislike in ourselves. By becoming aware of our own darkness, we reduce the likelihood of making others the scapegoats for our internal struggles. We accept that everyone carries their own burdens and that the path to understanding begins within.
In essence, Jung’s wisdom reminds us that true empathy and connection with others come from the ongoing work of knowing and accepting the parts of ourselves that we might prefer to ignore.

“Don't wish me happiness
I don't expect to be happy all the time...
It's gotten beyond that somehow.
Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.
I will need them all.”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Don't wish me happiness, for I no longer expect it to be a constant companion. Life has taught me that happiness comes and goes, like waves on a shore. Instead, wish me courage to face life's challenges, strength to endure its trials, and a sense of humor to keep me light in dark moments.
These are the tools I will need most as I navigate the unpredictable journey ahead. Happiness will find its way back, but courage and resilience will carry me through.

Honey Bee 🐝
Bees have two stomachs—one for eating and the other for storing nectar, which they transform into honey, also known as "piq."

- A bee lives for less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers, and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. For us, it's just a spoonful of honey, but for the bee, it's the story of its entire life.

The Great Banyan is a Banyan Tree located in Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Shibpur, Howrah, Near Kolkata, India. The tree is believed to be at least 250 years old, and has been referenced in many travel books, going back to at least the nineteenth century. The area occupied by the tree is about 18,918 square metres (about 1.89 hectares or 4.67 acres). The present crown of the tree has a circumference of 486 m. and the highest branch rises to 24.5 m; it has at present 3772 aerial roots reaching down to the ground as a prop root. Its height is almost equivalent to the Gateway of India.
It was recorded to be the largest tree specimen in the World in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1989.
