So, as the AFC Champs🏆 play🏈 in the Bay🌉 today in their white, I’ll be DIY out of sight with my blue and orange spirit on bright! Rooting on this QB in SB 50! 🇺🇸
Even as an adult, I still keep learning from my Dad, who always enlightens me everyday, through his example and his wisdom as a prayerfulsoon-to-befirst-time grandfather with whom I attended Church today. Cheers, Pops!
My tiny tea cup cat’s fave hot spots: the windows! Here she is at the window behind my piano peering out into our garden…
Part of our backyard view complete with lush green grass (most definitely the best-mani on the block, hands down)! We’re enjoying the summer ☼sun☼ while we can before autumn officially starts soon. After receiving more precipitation at the ½way point this year following our previous full year’s totals, I wonder how much we’ll get next season?
Now that football season has kicked off, this sports spirituality book will do just the trick to keep my soul on a roll while I keep working on my own sports study (been investing 12-15h/day on it lately ~ ’til this weekend so I could focus on my Church readings)!
During our ☼Sunday☼ brunch, we reminisced about my own grandparents, my parents’ parents, and since Papa Jun pointed out an article that he came across in the ☼Sunday☼ paper about older figures influencing the youth, I realized some of the attributes that I’ve acquired from each of my grandparents:
Then when we had our merienda, Papa Jun mentioned how his own paternal grandfather told him stories about how he and his eldest son/my dad’s oldest uncle on Papa Ped‘s side served in the Philippine Army together during WWII, when Japan invaded our native Philippines ~ during which my paternal great-grandfather and my oldest paternal great-uncle had survived the brutal Bataan March as they looked out for one another to dodge the Japanese’s weapons. Listening to my father’s account brought me greater admiration for him and the military heroes of our family from generations before and after.
†GOD† bless all ♥Grandparents♥ and our *Military Heroes* ✌ …
& Go, *Dallas Cowboys* who kick off their regular NFL season in ☼Sunday☼ Night Football!
Once I kicked👟 my dissertation📖 work into high gear transitioning from July into August, I’ve actually resisted turning away from my work💼 after several-hours⌚️ worth of “shifts” lately!
But to prevent myself from 🍳frying⚡️ my 💡brain💭 from dozens of hours⏰ in front of my 💻computer ~ executing💥 my challenges while exercising my 💪🏽strengths:
Beachy Scene: I call this bad boy my Myrtle Beach Iced Tea (as opposed to Long Island) that calls for Arnold Palmer (tea & lemonade named for the golfer) spiked w/your spirit(s) of choice ~ mine was Midori for melon flavor and green color ~ + a cherry on top … Or to sink this ship! 🌊🌴🍹🍋🍈🍒⚓️🚢
That can be served ❄️chilled🍧 and 🍉chunky🍌
Peachy Keen: Other fruit to add to the mix (sweet if they swim in the drink while you sip): peaches * pineapple * strawberries 🍑🍍🍓🍒🍹
Makeup moves WON’T work in a car if you must hold up your phone/mirror/compact with your other hand {as a passenger ~ NOT while you’re behind the wheel}
Seriously, though, you may not want to try this at home unless you’re extremely coordinated and can master multi-tasking!

Next up on the international front, ESPN’s SportsCenter📺 featured my native country, the 🌴Philippines, in this exclusive 🎬documentary🎥 about Manny Pacquiao and his humble beginnings …
… Just six days from the 2nd of May, when he finally fights👊 Floyd Mayweather this Saturday ~ after coming a long way from Mindanao to the Manila Bay into present day! ⚓️
Therefore, remember: Circumstances, such as socioeconomic status or being from a third world country, DON’T determine your success ~ willpower💡 does!
Coach K: the first Men’s Division I coach to reach 1K victories!
That is exactly what Coach K exudes, and today, he took it to the highest level ~ as he exceeded 999 wins when his Duke Blue Devils excelled at Madison Square Garden and thundered past the St. John’s Red Storms.
Now he has joined the ranks of my fave female coach, Pat Summitt!
Congrats to my hero who made history on this Game Day!
