Meanwhile,
Most people think “Pinoy” is just a local nickname from the Philippines, but it actually originated in the United States in the 1920s. Early Filipino immigrants, known as the Manongs, felt that “Filipino” was too formal and that “Philippine Islander” sounded like a reminder of colonial status. To create a more casual and familiar identity, they took the last four letters of “Filipino” (–pino) and added the Spanish diminutive “-y.” The word “Pinoy” became a quiet identifier among Filipinos abroad, if you said it out loud in places like Seattle or San Francisco in the 1920s, only fellow Filipinos would recognize it. Long before social media or smartphones, “Pinoy” functioned as an early social network and shared identity for Filipinos living overseas.
My Photo of the Day:
The stunning image was taken by Ken Moriya, a photographer known on Instagram for capturing Japan’s skies at their most dramatic. In the photo, the cloud appears to spread its wings above Mount Fuji, resembling a majestic phoenix emerging from the horizon, a powerful symbol of rebirth, strength, and beauty.
Moments like this are incredibly rare, forming only when light, wind, and atmosphere align perfectly. The result is a fleeting masterpiece, lasting just minutes, yet leaving a lasting impression. It’s a reminder of how nature can rival the most imaginative art when timing and patience meet.
Through Ken Moriya’s lens, Mount Fuji once again proves why it continues to inspire awe, blending natural wonder with a sense of mythology that feels almost unreal
My Food for Thought for Today: The Role of Massage in Injury Prevention
Prevention is more effective than cure. Maintenance massage identifies and releases minor tensions before they become contractions or trigger points. Improves flexibility and range of motion, reduces muscle imbalances and maintains good tissue circulation. For an athlete or active person, including regular massages into their routine is an investment in athletic longevity and quality of life.
