Sometimes, you just have to upload something like this.

If you are living in the #Philippines and wondering why the #HeatIndex is 52℃, this is why.

There was an #Easter egg hunt, but there were so many people!

The major prize was a #Garmin sports watch! 😭

My 10k run today, 2024-03-28. First time I did it in #Intramuros, City of #Manila, #Philippines.

This was also the first time I discovered the new pedestrian-only road in Intramuros. I am so glad that some areas with autonomy from the LGU (Local Government Unit; city/town government) have the initiative to pedestrianise roads.

This is good for the people, their businesses (small businesses in particular), and the health of the people. It encourages people to walk or bike (if allowed), and there is also less pollution and accidents. The land price also increases, as the environment gets better, and the local community becomes more happier, lively, and successful.

We need more of this in the Philippines!

A “pedestrian-only road” is also known as “pedestrian zones”, “auto-free zones”, “car-free zones”, “pedestrian precincts”, “pedestrian malls”, and “pedestrian streets”. Meanwhile, the process of converting a road into a pedestrian-only road/street is called “pedestrianisation”.

It was my first time running this route. Next target is the nearby army base!

First time I pushed myself since I recovered from pneumonia and a water in my left lung (mid to late 2021).

I used the closed roads being used by two race events, #EarthRun and #ASICS run. 😜

I think being with fellow runners made it easier. I didn't feel any pain and I rarely had to catch my breath. Though I was still slow as compared to before I got sick, and had a lot of walks than runs, this was still far better than whenever I ran 5k solo this year.

Today as at Bonifacio Global City (BGC), a lot of people took a photo of me, or with me, because of this anime headgear I always wear.

Only catch, I just finished running, so I was tired. 😅😅

But, yeah, it was a new experience.

Season 04 Episode 11 of Fringe featured the meeting of the two Agent Astrid Farnsworth, one an autistic and the other neurotypical.

This episode aired on 2012-02-04 and entitled “Making Angels”.

The autistic Agent Astrid Farnsworth came from the “Amber World” (the parallel world), and the NT Astrid is from the “Prime World” (our world basically).

The character is, I would say “basic” as far as portrayal of an autistic person. Some would say it's a stereotype. But I like her nonetheless because it was not exaggerated, and the focus was not on her autism instead it was about her many skills.

And in this episode, we saw through her that autistic people are humans too. That we have our own struggles, we do cry and feel emotions (contrary to the claims that we lack it), and we just want to live like everyone else.

The autistic Astrid was introduced in season 2 (2009–2010). The actress, Jasika Nicole, was praised for her performance of both the neurotypical and the autistic Agent Astrid.

How about you, what do you think of her character? How was the performance (specifically with autistic Astrid)?
