Black Klansman by Sgt. Ron Stallworth

Copyright: Flatiron Books


Black Klansman is the true story of an African American undercover cop who led a sting operation against the Ku Klux Klan. He joined the KKK, phoned regularly with then KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and the local organizer Ken O'Dell, and used the information he got from them to preempt the Klan's activities.

The subject itself is amusing and entertaining, although the writing is a bit flat. However, Sgt. Ron Stallworth is primarily a police officer, so he can be forgiven for not being a spirited storyteller.
Looking forward to watching BlacKkKlansman, the movie adapatation direcreted by Spike Lee.

Coldplay in Manila

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.

1. Iloilo 2. Cebu 3. Legazpi (because of how beautiful Mt. Mayon was) 4. Davao 5. Sorsogon 6. Lucena 7. Butuan Ranking is purely based on personal experience. I know I missed out on a lot of things these cities could offer because, you know, I was there for work and only went sightseeing after work hours. Really grateful for a job that sends me to these beautiful places.
