May nahuli akong nangongopya. Di ko na sinita. Baka kasi ma-trauma.
May nagdadaldalan habang exam? Hinayaan ko na lang. Baka sabihan akong abusive.
May lumalakad-lakad, parang nasa mall. Gusto ko sanang singhalan, kaso baka magka-anxiety.
May nagsisigawan pa. Pero wag na, baka child abuse na naman 'yan.
Gusto ko sanang punitin yung kodigo—pero baka magsumbong. Baka mag-viral. Baka magka-depression.
So ayun... ngumiti na lang ako. Ganyan na talaga ngayon.
Mga bata? Masyadong marupok.
At bakit? Kasi batas mismo ang nagturo sa kanila maging entitled.
Teacher ka? Hindi ka na “second parent.”
Robot ka.
Hindi ka puwedeng magalit. Hindi puwedeng magdisiplina.
Pero gusto nila, ikaw pa rin magturo ng values.
Eh paano? Kapag pinagsabihan mo, violation na.
Kapag pinagalitan mo, mental damage na raw.
Kaya huwag na tayong magulat...
5 to 10 years from now,
We’ll have a generation that’s entitled, fragile, and loud—
Pero allergic sa correction.
Gusto n’yo ng child protection? Eh teacher protection meron ba?
Kung second parent talaga kami,
Bakit kami bawal magdisiplina?
Second parent ba ang takot sa estudyante?
Mga batang '80s at '90s:
Luhod sa asin.
Luhod sa munggo.
Naliparan ng chalk.
Nabato ng eraser.
Pero tumibay. Lumaban.
Ngayon? Masermunan mo lang, may breakdown na.
Hello, students.
Hello, Pilipinas.
Good luck sa future.
End of School Year na. 24/7 ka ng nasa bahay — yung akala nyong 'simple' malaking bagay yan sa magulang nyo o kung sinumang kasama nyo sa bahay.
Kung talagang mahal nyo ang mga magulang nyo, o may malasakit manlang, hindi nyo kailangan ma-pressure na yumaman agad thinking na dun lang kayo makabawi sa parents nyo. By giving gifts, by treating them or bringing them to nice places. Kasi as early as now, you can do something bigger ❤️
1. KAPAG NAKITA NYONG WALA NG LAMAN NG PITSEL SA REF, LAGYAN NYO NA NG TUBIG. Kayo man o hindi ang umubos ng tubig, magpakita kayo ng konting malakasakit sa susunod na mauuhaw.
2. KAPAG NAKITA NYONG MALINIS NA ANG LABABO AT PINGGAN NYO NALANG ANG ILALAGAY NYO, HUGASAN NYO NA. Simpleng disiplina sa sarili na babaunin nyo hanggang pag tanda.
3. MAG WALIS AT MAG LAMPASO NG KUSA. Ang kagandahan/kagwapuhan nakikita yan hindi lang sa mukha. Naka foundation ka nga, puro naman alikabok cabinet nyo. Naka porma ka nga, nang gigitata naman sahig nyo.
4. MAG LABA NG SARILING DAMIT. Kung may extra care kayo, isama nyo narin yung laundry ng kapatid nyo. Ano ba yung ilang oras na ilalaan mo sa isang araw para mag laba. Di ka naman daily mag gaganyan.
5. MAG TIPID SA PAGKAIN. Kung di naman gutom talaga at kakakain lang, tantanan muna magpabili ng kung anu ano. Ngayon palang makaka ahon at makakapag tabi kahit konti yung mga nagpapaaral sainyo. Bukas makalawa, enrollment nanaman. Pag pahingahin nyo muna sila mag isip, mag budget.
6. BAWASAN ANG PAGKABADTRIP SA MGA UTOS.
Hindi dahil bakasyon na eh palaging “me time.” Minsan 'yung pagsunod sa simpleng utos — tulad ng pagbili ng suka, pagpatay ng ilaw, o pagbitbit ng labada — malaking tulong na yun sa mga magulang nyo na pagod na rin sa buong araw.
7. MAGSIMULA NG KUSA, HINDI SA UTOS LANG.
Hindi laging kailangan may nagsasabi para gumalaw. Kapag may nakita kang kalat, pulutin mo. Kapag may upuan na hindi nakabalik sa pwesto, ayusin mo. Kadalasan, sa simpleng kusa na ‘yan mas nararamdaman ang respeto at pagmamahal.
8. I-APPRECIATE ANG MGA MALILIIT NA BAGAY.
Kapag may nilutong pagkain, sabihing “ang sarap po.” Kapag sinabihan kang “mag-ingat,” huwag isnabin. Yung simpleng ‘thank you’ at ‘love you’ kahit minsan lang — pampagaan na 'yan ng pakiramdam nila.
Yung simpleng pag alok ng tubig, pag aayos ng hinigaan, pag tanong kung "kumain ka na ba", yung uwi galing sa trabaho yung parents mo na malinis ang uuwiang bahay galing sa nakakapagod na paghahanap buhay AY NAPAKALAKING BAGAY NA SAKANILA.
Oo, pagod din kayo sa isang taon na pag aaral. Ngayon lang makakabawi ng tulog at pahinga sa kabi kabilang school activities — but a little help sa parents nyo won't cost you anything much naman. Do it. 😌
Sa mga parents, relatives, grand parents na nagpapaaral — Congratulations! We made another year successful! Naigapang, naitawid ang isang taong baon araw araw, pamasahe, pang project, stress at kung anu ano pa. 😌❤️ Mag pahinga rin kayo. Kasi bukas makalawa, enrollment na ulit. 😅
Ang pagmamahal sa pamilya, hindi palaging kailangang engrande o mamahalin. Minsan, ang mga simpleng bagay na ginagawa ng may malasakit at kusa — 'yan ang tunay na sukatan ng pagiging responsable at mapagmahal.
Ngayong bakasyon, hindi lang pahinga ang i-prioritize. Gamitin din ito para matutong maging mas mabuting anak, kapatid, at kasama sa bahay.

Hindi kailangan ng malaking bagay para makabawi.

You don’t need to be a millionaire to give your family a better life.
Sometimes, it starts with one choice:
Sa halip na milk tea every week—gatas ng anak muna.
Imbes na bagong sapatos—bayad muna sa kuryente.
Hindi muna labas-labas—para may savings kahit konti.
We think a “better life” means big house, nice car, expensive vacations.
But for most families, the better life looks like:
Yung hindi nag-aaway dahil walang pambayad.
Yung hindi kailangan mangutang tuwing enrollment.
Yung may konting ipon kahit sa maliit na kita.
You don’t need to impress your neighbors.
You need to protect your home.
Because peace at home isn’t about how fancy your things are—
It’s about not stressing every time may emergency.
The truth?
Even with minimum wage, we can start building something.
Not by earning more,
but by wasting less.
Disiplina muna bago asenso.
Mindset muna bago milyon.

“I couldn’t read or write well… but I built one of the world’s biggest tech companies.”🔌🏭
My childhood was a storm. At age 9, I dropped out of school to work as an apprentice in a bicycle shop. My family was poor, and education was a luxury I couldn’t afford. My hands became my teachers. I was endlessly curious about how things worked. And when I discovered electricity, I knew: this was the future I wanted to help build. ⚙️🧒
Years later, working as a factory laborer, I invented a safer, more efficient electrical plug. My bosses didn’t believe in it—they rejected my idea outright. So I quit. With almost nothing but hope, I started making plugs at home with my wife and brother-in-law. We had no tools, no clients, just faith. Some days, we didn’t sell a single screw. But we didn’t give up. 💡🛠️
Little by little, those plugs began to sell. In 1918, I founded my own company: Matsushita Electric. The world would later know us as Panasonic. We survived earthquakes, wars, bombings, and economic crises… but I never stopped dreaming of helping people with useful technology. Radios, TVs, home appliances—even car batteries followed. 📻🌍
“Poverty taught me to create with little. Failure taught me to persevere. But vision is what kept me going.”🔋🔥
– Konosuke Matsushita
Superman was killed in Dallas
There's no love left in the palace
Someone took the Beatle's lead guitar
Have another Chivas Regal
You're twelve years old and sex is legal
Your parents don't know where or who you are
Used to be the hero of the ballgame
Took the time to shake the loser's hand
Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
In a world where people gave a damn
Great big wars in little places
Look at all those frightened faces
But don't come here
We just don't have the room
Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter
Cleanse your life with holy water
You don't need to bathe, we've got perfume
Used to be a knight in shining armor
Didn't have to own a shiny car
Dignity and courage were the measure of a man
Not the drugs he needs to hide the scar,
Oh woh woh woh oh woh
Can your teacher read?
Does your preacher pray?
Does your president have soul?
Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today?
Mama took her speed and daddy ran away
But you musn't lose control,
Let's cut the class,
I got some grass
The kids are wild we just can't tame 'em
Do we have the right to blame them?
Fed them all our indecisions
We wrecked their minds with television
But what the hell, they're too young to feel pain
But I believe that love can save tomorrow
Believe the truth can make us free
Someone tried to say it, then we nailed Him to a Cross
I guess it's still the way it used to be
Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore, a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more, forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, letr it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
Hold me dear, oh hold me dear
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, letr it all begin
All forgotten now
we're all alone, all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, letr it all begin
Owe it to the wind, my love
Hold me dear
All forgotten now, my love
we're all alone

"I'm Coney Reyes, and this is a story I never thought I'd publicly share…"
Recently, I turned 71. A birthday filled with joy, laughter, and love from family, friends, and cherished colleagues—those who have walked alongside me through the long journey of art and faith. But as night fell, after the candles had gone out and the well-wishes quieted in my heart, I knew—each additional year brings me closer to life's final boundary.
I don't say this to be pessimistic. I am someone of hope and light. But at this age, I understand very clearly: every day I live is a privilege, and I can no longer keep the valuable lessons of my life to myself.
There are things I thought I would take to the grave—not out of shame, but to protect those I love from scrutiny. But today, I choose to speak. Because if this story can help even one person silently battling illness in the dark, waiting wearily for a miracle—then my sharing is worthwhile.
My son and I, Vico, have journeyed through a life-and-death ordeal together. A journey that seemed only possible in movies, but it was real. It began quietly, with symptoms of fatigue that I attributed to age. But then I collapsed. And my son—the strongest man in my life—began facing a similar ordeal.
I remember vividly that morning. I had just turned 60. I woke up, as usual, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I had energy, could still walk, and manage household chores. No one thought I was ill. I didn't think so either.
I was cutting fruit when I felt dizzy. I thought maybe I lacked sleep or had low blood pressure, intending to sit down for a moment. But before I could sit, everything went dark. I don't remember how I fell, only that when I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room, hooked up to IVs, feeling heavy.
When I woke, the first person I saw was Vico—my son—sitting beside me, holding my hand. He was silent, but his eyes were swollen, likely from crying. My husband stood at the foot of the bed, looking deeply worried. At that moment, I didn't understand what was happening.
The doctor entered the room. He was calm, gentle, but I sensed tension in his voice:
"Ms. Reyes, you had a stroke due to a blocked blood vessel. We performed an 8-hour surgery to restore blood flow to your heart. You are very lucky."
Before I could react, he continued:
"The main cause is prolonged high blood sugar—diabetes. Were you aware you had diabetes?"
The doctor added:
"Your legs are showing signs of swelling due to complications. If not managed well, it could affect your mobility."
I listened in shock. I—a person who traveled extensively, performed on stage, and worked in television—could lose my ability to walk because of diabetes?
I turned to look at Vico. My son, now a mayor, shouldering significant responsibilities. But his eyes at that moment were those of a worried child, looking at his mother lying still, unsure if she would walk again tomorrow.
Upon discharge, I had one thought: I must do something—immediately. I couldn't wait any longer. I almost died. My body weakened visibly, legs swollen, walking became difficult. But I didn't allow myself to stop.
Vico—my son—was the first to say:
"Mom, we'll go wherever we need to. You're not going down like this."
And so the journey began. My son and I decided to seek the best treatment, not just for me, but for him—because he inherited diabetes from a young age. He didn't say much, but I knew he was scared. He saw me collapse before his eyes and understood that this could be his future if no solution was found.
The first trip was to the U.S., home to leading diabetes and cardiovascular treatment centers. I was taken to a research institute in California where they conducted extensive tests: Assessing arterial stiffness, MRI of the heart and brain, Continuous glucose monitoring 24/7 with skin sensors. They also let me try a method called insulin pump therapy, an automatic insulin pump adjusting to blood sugar levels. But after a few weeks of monitoring, the head doctor said frankly:
"Your response to insulin is too inconsistent. At your age, the risk of hypoglycemia is high. We don't recommend continuing the pump."
I was disappointed. But I didn't give up.
I went to Japan, known for diabetes treatment with stem cells and modern dietary practices. I underwent: Autologous stem cell infusion—taking from my abdominal fat tissue to regenerate small blood vessels, Combined with a diet called shokuiku, meaning "nutrition education," completely personalized, Using nano-infusion devices to improve leg blood circulation. I tried. I abstained from so much. But my body responded slowly. A doctor in Tokyo said gently, making me cry:
"Your determination is strong, but your cells don't recover like they used to, Ms. Reyes. We can slow the damage, but we can't fully reverse it anymore."
The final journey was to Singapore, where I believed in a combination of Western and natural treatments. I met a Filipino doctor working at an integrated treatment center. He said:
"Coney, I watched you perform when I was young. Now to treat you is an honor. But I must be honest: you don't need more procedures, no more devices. You need a way to live with the disease, not fight it."
I was stunned. But deep down, I knew he was right. I had traveled far too much, tried everything to beat the illness—forgetting that what matters most is learning to live safely and gently with it. But how? If not treated, one day my son and I might suffer another stroke, what about my ability to walk, I don't know what to do anymore...
After going through the U.S., Japan, Singapore… trying all kinds of methods from modern to traditional without much improvement, I felt… tired. Not because of the disease—but because hope was repeatedly extinguished. At that moment, I began to feel like I was running without knowing where I was going.
I remembered the simplest thing that I always believed in: Prayer.
And so, on a Sunday morning, I didn’t go to any hospital, didn’t see any doctor. I quietly stepped into St. Joseph Cathedral in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya – a place I had visited many years ago during a charity mission.
I sat in the last pew, my hands still trembling from aftereffects, my legs slightly aching, but my heart was strangely at peace. For the first time in many months, I wasn’t thinking about syringes, glucose meters, or the names of medications. I just closed my eyes and silently said:
“Lord, if there is still a way, please show me.”
After the Mass, I was unexpectedly led by the church manager to meet Bishop Danilo B. Ulep, Archbishop of the Diocese of Batanes. He came to greet me, not formally, not ceremoniously, but so gently… so simply.
He looked at me, as if he already knew what I needed, then smiled kindly:
“Coney, sometimes God doesn’t heal through miracles, but through very ordinary people around us.”
He handed me a small handwritten note, with only one line:
Dr. Enrique Tayag – Quezon City
Blk 5 Lot 2, Maligaya Park Subd., Novaliches, Quezon City
He said:
“Try visiting this doctor. He doesn’t perform miracles, but sometimes God sends us to the right person, at the right time.”
I took the paper, not hoping too much – but no longer afraid of disappointment either. I had traveled the world, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now, a new path was beginning… from a handwritten note in the church courtyard.
And I decided: I would go there.
I still remember that afternoon very clearly. Vico and I drove to the address on the note: Blk 5 Lot 2, Maligaya Park Subdivision, Novaliches, Quezon City. It wasn’t a big hospital or a fancy clinic. Just a modest house, with a small nameplate at the gate: “Dr. Enrique Tayag – Integrative Health Consultant.”
I hesitated a bit. Vico held my hand and said:
“Mom, let’s go. This might be what you really need.”
We stepped in. No nurses, no loud machines. Just the faint scent of ginger and soft meditation music playing in a corner. Doctor Tayag came out to greet me. He wasn’t wearing a white coat, just a simple polo shirt, a slender figure, and a very calm gaze.
He looked at me and said:
“Coney… I heard your story from Bishop Ulep. You don’t need more medicine or procedures. You need to regain your balance – from within.”
I had heard that line many times abroad, but this time, it touched me differently. Maybe because… he wasn’t trying to convince me. It was simply the truth.
After starting Doctor Enrique Tayag’s method, I noticed a clear change within the first few weeks. My legs were no longer swollen as before, the sharp pains significantly reduced. I began to stand up without needing someone to support me, though my steps were still weak and shaky. My blood sugar levels also became more stable, no longer sky-high. That was a very important sign because I knew high blood sugar was the reason my blood circulation was so poor.
By the eighth week, I could walk around the house more, about ten to fifteen minutes at a time without feeling pain or exhaustion. I took gentle walks around the yard, still being careful as I wasn’t fully recovered yet. The swelling in my legs had almost disappeared, my skin started looking pinker and much softer. What made me happiest was that my spirits were lifted, no longer anxious or discouraged like before. I slept better too, no longer waking up in the middle of the night from pain or discomfort.
After about half a year, I was able to go out more, take care of myself, even go to the market and do light chores around the house. My blood sugar and blood pressure readings stabilized very well, with far less medication than before. My body felt much stronger, no longer constantly tired or sluggish when I woke up. I also began participating in community activities and church events, something I could hardly do before.
What was special was that my son also started changing his diet and lifestyle following my lead, which helped him control his diabetes better. Seeing him grow healthier every day was the greatest motivation for me to stay committed to this method.
By the time a full year passed, I felt like I was living again. I could walk confidently without a cane or wheelchair. My blood sugar stayed within the safe range, no longer spiking or dropping suddenly and scaring me. My legs no longer hurt, no more swelling, my body strong and spirit peaceful. I gradually reduced my Western medicine, taking only supplements as advised by the doctor.
When my health returned, I spent more time at church – a place that always brought me deep peace in my soul. There, I met Bishop Danilo B. Ulep again, the one who gently smiled and handed me the note with Doctor Enrique Tayag’s address – the man who changed my life.
I came close to him, my heart full of gratitude, and said:
“Dear Bishop, it was through your help and the guidance of Doctor Tayag that I had the chance to live again. I would like to ask your permission to share my story, so that others battling illness out there can find hope and strength.”
He looked at me with gentle eyes and nodded softly: “Share it, my child. Your story will be a light guiding many.”
I know my story is not just about the battle with diabetes, but also about faith, perseverance, and love. I believe that if my story is shared, it will save thousands of lives – those still in the darkness of illness, waiting for a ray of light to keep moving forward. I will leave all the information about Doctor Tayag’s method here: https://www.phhealthcenters.asia/enrique_tayag
My life has changed, and I believe this story will give strength so that you – and many others – will never give up in the journey of fighting illness.
MASAKIT NA REALIDAD NG BUHAY
Kapag buhay ka pa kakain ka ng simple lang.. Minsan masarap, Minsan naman hindi.
Pero pag P@tay kana nagagawa kang ipagluto ng masasarap na pagkain kasi wala kana.
Kapag buhay kapa kailangan mo ng tulong pero walang magbibigay sa'yo Kasi daw walang maitutulong sayo kasi walang pera.
Pero kapag p@tay kana ang daming tutulong sa'yo, minsan pa nga mangutang lang para makapag abuloy lang kasi nakakahiya kapag walang maibigay.
Kapag buhay kapa hindi ka maalala ng pamilya mo.
Pero kapag p@tay kana kumpleto lahat sila parang Reunion pa, nagsama sama at ginawa pang pagkakataon para magsaya.
Kapag buhay kapa walang magbibigay ng bulaklak sa'yo. Pero kapag p@tay kana bibilhan ka kahit mamahalin pa.
Kapag buhay kapa hindi hihingi ng tawad sa'yo
Pero kapag p@tay kana iiyak sa'yo at hihingi ng tawad.
Kapag buhay kapa hindi nila nakikita ang iyong halaga at magagandang ginagawa mo, Pero kapag p@tay kana ..Sasabihin nila sayang mabait, masipag at matulungin pa naman ang taong 'Yan.
In short, Mahal kalang ng tao kapag wala kana. Makikita lang ang halaga mo kapag P@tay kana. Yan ang katotohanan. Ang reyalidad ng buhay. 😔😔😔

"When 79-year-old George retired, he didn’t buy a golf club or a hammock. He hung a handmade sign in his garage window: “Broken things? Bring ’em here. No charge. Just tea and talk.”
His neighbors in the faded mill town of Maple Grove thought he’d lost it. “Who fixes stuff for free?” grumbled the barber. But George had a reason. His wife, Ruth, had spent decades repairing torn coats and cracked picture frames for anyone who knocked. “Waste is a habit,” she’d say. “Kindness is the cure.” She’d died the year before, and George’s hands itched to mend what she’d left behind.
The first visitor was 8-year-old Mia, dragging a plastic toy truck with a missing wheel. “Dad says we can’t afford a new one,” she mumbled. George rummaged through his toolbox, humming. An hour later, the truck rolled again—this time with a bottle cap for a wheel and a stripe of silver duct tape. “Now it’s custom ,” he winked. Mia left smiling, but her mother lingered. “Can you… fix a résumé?” she asked. “I’ve been stuck on the couch since the factory closed.”
By noon, George’s garage buzzed. A widow brought a shattered clock (“My husband wound it every Sunday”). A teen carried a leaky backpack. George fixed them all, but he didn’t work alone. Retired teachers proofread résumés. A former seamstress stitched torn backpacks. Even Mia returned, handing him a jar of jam: “Mom says thanks for the job interview.”
Then came the complaint.
“Unlicensed business,” snapped the city inspector. “You’re violating zoning laws.”
Maple Grove’s mayor, a man with a spreadsheet heart, demanded George shut down. The next morning, 40 townsfolk stood on George’s lawn, holding broken toasters, torn quilts, and protest signs: “Fix the law, not just stuff!” A local reporter filmed a segment: “Is kindness illegal?”
The mayor caved. Sort of.
“If you want to ‘fix’ things, do it downtown,” he said. “Rent the old firehouse. But no guarantees.”
The firehouse became a hive. Volunteers gutted it, painted it sunshine yellow, and dubbed it “Ruth’s Hub.” Plumbers taught plumbing. Teenagers learned to darn socks. A baker swapped muffins for repaired microwaves. The town’s waste dropped by 30%.
But the real magic? Conversations. A lonely widow fixed a lamp while a single dad patched a bike tire. They talked about Ruth. About loss. About hope.
Last week, George found a note in his mailbox. It was from Mia, now 16, interning at a robotics lab. “You taught me to see value in broken things. I’m building a solar-powered prosthetic arm. PS: The truck still runs!”
Today, 12 towns across the state have “Fix-It Hubs.” None charge money. All serve tea.
Funny, isn’t it? How a man with a screwdriver can rebuild a world."
.Let this story reach more hearts...
Brazil is leading the charge in sustainable infrastructure by turning sugarcane waste into durable, eco-friendly roads. Researchers have discovered that sugarcane bagasse ash, a byproduct of sugar production, can replace traditional stone dust in asphalt mixtures, making roads stronger, longer-lasting, and more environmentally friendly.
By incorporating sugarcane waste, Brazil is reducing the need for mineral aggregates, lowering carbon emissions, and improving mechanical performance in road construction. Initial tests on highways have shown remarkable durability, proving that this innovation could revolutionize the way roads are built.
This smart use of agricultural waste is a win for sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and infrastructure durability.

He wanted to end hunger—not become a billionaire. In 1958, Japan was still reeling from the devastation of World War II. Food was scarce, families were starving, and survival often came down to a bowl of hot broth—if they were lucky. That’s when a man named Momofuku Ando took it personally. He locked himself in a shed, experimenting with flash-frying noodles until one day, a breakthrough: instant ramen. His first creation? “Chicken Ramen.” Cheap, long-lasting, easy to make—just add hot water. To some, it looked like a snack.
To Ando, it was salvation in a bowl. He believed “peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat.” This wasn’t about business—it was about dignity, survival, and warmth in the middle of chaos. Today, his invention feeds billions. College students, soldiers, families in crisis zones… all have tasted the comfort of his humble noodles. What started as a post-war solution became a global pantry staple.
One man, one mission, one noodle at a time. So the next time you’re slurping instant ramen, remember: you’re tasting history—born from hunger, built on hop
