Singapore, Fastest in the World for Internet Speed

     I know Singapore has high internet speed at 247mbps, I experienced it while working in that country for almost 10 years. When I saw the official list published on the internet, I was surprised at how good Singapore is. Truly first class in internet speed quality.

Singapore leads the speed clearly

     I remember when I was still working there when a family friend came to visit with their children. After experiencing, this internet in my house, they told their parents "to not go sightseeing, stay in my house as the speed is superb and they experience no buffering". Now that I am back here in rural Philippines, I understand where they were coming from.

     I am surprised Singapore beats first world countries from the west including the USA. It is an achievement in the modern world, in the internet age. I am surprised too Norway is not in the top ten.

     There is still a long way to go for a third world country like the Philippines to be in this list especially in the rural areas. I have been monitoring the speed here and it is sad to admit we are below 10mbps.

Djokovic's 21st Grand Slam at Wimbledon

     Novak Djokovic renewed his supremacy in tennis and cemented his no. 1 world ranking after winning his 7th Wimbledon, his 4th in a row beating tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios. 

Djokovic vs Kyrgios in Wimbledon 2022

     He is now 2nd to Nadal in the most grand slam wins with 21, Nadal at 22 and leads Federer, now at 20. I have the feeling he is going to beat Nadal winning more Grands Slam in the near future.

     I used to be the Federer fanatic but with Djokovic winning slams the last 10 years, I seemed to have drifted my loyalty to him. I wish him to reach more Grand Slams and win them all. I don't think Nadal and Federer still have it, they're too old from my point of view.

I look forward to Djokovic making that record which I hope will be really hard to beat for many generations.

Rybakina Wins Wimbledon Women's 2022

     Elena Rybakina, a Russian, who has migrated to Kazakhstan, is the Wimbledon 2022 Women's Champion, a first time grand slam finalist. When I slept last night she lost the first set to another first timer, Ons Jabeur, but when I woke up this morning to see the result, a new champion is born. She deserves to win anyway as far as I am concerned having beaten Simona Halep, the one I was expecting to win, in the semi-finals.

     John McEnroe made a statement Russians and Ukrainian have been banned from Wimbledon due to their war but Rybakina was Russian who migrated to Kazakhstan. I am not sure of his intent but it can be both ways. She is Russian who won, why not the others allowed to play or she doesn't deserve to take the  plate being Russian. For me, sports should be out of politics.

17th Philippine President Inauguration

     The 17th President of the Philippines is inaugurated, and I am trying to think, this is the first time I witnessed it. I realized I was working in the previous inaugurations. I was busy those times.

PLDT Fiber

      Installed Fiber line for our internet and definitely much better than DSL. This time we can experience more stable connection that will not get lost when the weather is bad.

The Blind Side

     I simply clicked on this movie in Netflix and I was surprised how good it is. It may lead you to shed some tears. I didn't know it's a Sandra Bullock starrer but at the end, I felt what I have never felt in many movies lately. I would highly recommend if ever. So simple plot but it relates to the core of your emotions as human beings.

What a film!

Sun is Back

     After several days of clouds and intermittent rains, finally the sun is back. It's a great joy to see a beautiful day unfolds. All the moist stuff around the house will dry and humidity will be back.

Lovely day
