Peaceful Week

This week has been incredibly calm and productive. I have spent a lot of time at the mosque and Chi Liung Park to maintain peace of mind and take care of my health through exercise. I am committed to continuously improving the results I achieve. I believe that with hard work and prayer, better outcomes will come. Stay motivated!

Film Review: Final Destination: Bloodlines (8/10)

Image
While I am not an avid follower of the Final Destination franchise, Bloodlines managed to captivate my attention—and, more accurately, keep me on edge—from start to finish. Despite not fully grasping every detail of the storyline, I must acknowledge the film's impressive ability to deliver unexpected twists, chilling surprises, and creatively executed death sequences that remain true to the franchise’s legacy. The narrative centers around Stefanie, the protagonist whose life begins to unravel as she is increasingly haunted by recurring nightmares linked to her family’s past. The central premise is particularly compelling: death targets a bloodline that was never meant to exist. This concept breathes fresh life into the series and effectively sustains viewer curiosity. From its opening sequence, the film immerses the audience in intense suspense. Even something as innocuous as a coin is transformed into a source of trauma. What sets Bloodlines apart, however, is its well-balanced pa...

The United States and the Late Empire Syndrome: Towards Political Decay?

Image
Since its independence in 1776, the United States (US) has cultivated a political culture deeply rooted in the principle of "anti-monarchy." The establishment of institutions such as Congress and the Supreme Court was designed to ensure a system of checks and balances that would prevent the rise of authoritarian leadership. The historical context is clear—the US was founded through a struggle against British monarchical rule, with monarchy often associated with tyranny and oppression. The first US President, George Washington, rejected the suggestion of becoming a lifelong leader, despite his close associate, Alexander Hamilton, proposing a model resembling a king without a crown. By setting a precedent of serving only two terms, Washington reinforced a tradition that was respected for more than a century. However, Franklin D. Roosevelt broke this norm by serving four terms before Congress ultimately passed the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, limiting the presidency to...

AMERICA IN RELATIVE DECLINE: A CRITICAL TRANSITION PHASE

Image
It’s been 100 days since Trump began his second term as president. In American political culture, this "first 100 days" is often seen as an early benchmark—a glimpse of what’s to come. Unfortunately for Trump 2.0, this period has been marked not by bold achievements, but by economic missteps and global miscalculations. His renewed obsession with tariffs has spooked markets. Nearly 10% of U.S. stock value vanished in just three months—not because of a real crisis, but because of manufactured uncertainty. His promise to end wars in Ukraine and Gaza remains unfulfilled, exposing the gap between campaign rhetoric and governing reality. Some have gone as far as to call Trump an agent of sabotage—perhaps even a tool of Moscow. But such simplistic conspiracies ignore a far more complex truth: America's decline is not about who occupies the Oval Office. It’s structural, systemic, and inevitable. Even under Biden or Harris, the fundamentals wouldn’t change. The world is recalibrat...
