to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy… and to laugh along the way

To commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the Battle of Yultong, I am reblogging this piece on the heroism of the 10th Battalion Combat Team (10th BCT) during those crucial 2 days of non-stop fighting. The article chronicles the events that eventually gave birth to the nickname: The Fighting Filipinos. It is my hope that with stories such as these, we may be able to inculcate a sense of nationalism and a stronger pride in our country and people, particularly the youth of today.
The Warriors’ dynasty is over. Klay will now be a free agent, with no indication that the team will be able to afford him a fat contract. The volatile Draymond still has 2 years in his contract, but his unpredictable character is reportedly causing too much tension among the new faces in the team. With Steph Curry now reaching 36 years of age, the Big 3 (plus Paul and Wiggins) appear to be in the tail-end of their once-glitzy careers.
To our fallen comrades, we offer this tribute – a solemn vow to never forget, and to always remember to emulate the life of honor you lived. Rest easy, brave mistahs, and stand proud. Your watch is done. Our snappy salute!
The Caitlyn Clark saga continues. She hit a temporary speedbump last week when the Iowa Hawkeyes lost to the powerhouse South Carolina Gamecocks in the Women’s NCAA championship game 87-75. And with nothing much to prove in the college game, Caitlyn will now strut her wares in the WNBA.
