My medals are nothing compared to his.

Seventy-five years ago today, the Japanese Empire accepted the demands of the Potsdam Declaration, which meant the unconditional surrender of Japan to the Allied Forces.


Though the war did not officially end until the signing of the Terms of Surrender one fortnight later, there was widespread jubilation across many nations, Philippines included (a commonwealth of the United States at that time). Soldiers need not to face more vicious battles anymore. Lasting peace is finally in sight!

TSA 120. The glorious 120th Anniversary Celebration of our dear alma mater Tiong Se Academy, the oldest in the country. One word to describe everything that has transpired: unbelievable.

Sure I have crammed myself into doing something major in the past, but I was never this tired. Now that everything is done, when I look back, I always feel it was just utterly hard to believe that we actually made it!

November. One month. Six events. Three of which I have personal involvement in the organization. The school had Student Ground Demonstration (November 8), Student Work Exhibit (November 16), Grand Celebration (November 16), Repeat Performance (November 18), and Grand Alumni Homecoming by the TSA Alumni Youth (November 30). But the most taxing for me is the TSA Historical Exhibit (which by the way is still open until February 2020) at the Chinatown Museum.
