Introduction
With the advent of technology comes a way of life that people before us could only have imagined. It is through the endless pursuit of knowledge, ambition, and innovation that all of humanity enjoys the wealth of possibilities in living.
Back then, people could only daydream of what it's like to fly in the sky until the Wright brothers successfully flew their full-size plane, the very first in the planet.

In the early 20th century, if a person contracts even a flu they might as well be considered dead. There was no cure for diseases such as malaria, smallpox, polio, measles, and more. All of which have a cure today.

Humanity's ambition and resolve powered us through disasters and tragedies, and with it society improved through the countless inventions and innovations we take for granted today. What's ironic is, now that we can pretty much do anything, we do less and less.

Let me go off into a tangent
Kentaro Miura's manga titled Berserk is a piece of media that became heavily popular throughout its release back in the 90s. It features "Guts", the protagonist, a swordsman, who swings an unusual sword that has been repeatedly described as being "too rough and too massive" that the sword itself was seemingly nothing more but a "raw heap of iron."

In the fictional world of Berserk, there's magic, gods, and monsters. Guts is merely human. He is set on a journey of revenge to right what's wrong and the only way to make progress is to put his life on the line. Not everything goes his way when fighting monsters beyond human strength.

Yet he swings his sword with all his might, no matter how uphill the battle may seem. He may be covered in bruises, blood, sweat, and tears, yet he will never succumb to hopelessness. His seemingly inhuman strength wasn't given to him, he earned it on his own. He kept swinging his sword, he kept fighting and training single-mindedly until he was the best.

Going back
What I want to express is that there is beauty in a way a mere human polishing their skills to its very limits much more enticing than anything in the world. The value of a dream and an ambition weighs much more than eternal pleasure or comfort.

I want to point out that in our world today, we have become lazier. Unfortunately, this is seemingly the trajectory of society.

There is a sign of this problem when a post went viral for an honor's student essay who couldn't form a single coherent thought on a simple topic. I bet if they did it online, they would submit something really good because, let's be real, they'll just cheat in some way or form.

Our laziness makes us rely heavily on the tools that become crutches to human potential. We don't dedicate ourselves to an ambition and draw resolve. We dream the dream that the masses idolize without having any heart for it. That is why a lot of people are lost on what they want to really do.

With all that said, I can't really change the world. But what I realized is that I can always act upon myself. Berserk's philosophy of swinging a sword with all your might resonates deeply with me and I'll live that way regardless of how others live. In a way, I still hope that somehow, someway the entirety of humanity changes for the better and finds their ambition roaring through. If that won't ever happen, it's fine because I lived with all my might.

Full swing ahead.

Introduction
“And when I'm back in Chicagoooo, I feel ittttt“ Ever found yourself vibing to a song on the radio and wondering what it was for weeks? Where you would sing the tone to Siri just to find it? Welcome to “A Beginner's Guide to Indie”. When you're a Gen Z, it's hard to say you haven't listened to an indie song whether by choice or random and liked it. But did you know that there is something more to our treasured genre? Indie is more than just a genre and we are about to explore it.

What is Indie Music?
Indie music began as a label for tunes crafted by independent artists and small labels, driven by a do-it-yourself mindset and a deep love for creative freedom. But indie is more than just a genre—it's an attitude. It's all about pushing boundaries, experimenting with sound, and refusing to be boxed into one style. Indie musicians draw from a rich mix of influences, blending different genres to create fresh, unexpected tracks that stand out from the crowd. By staying true to their roots and remaining independent, hence called indie, these artists embrace the freedom to explore and innovate, delivering music that's anything but ordinary.

Birth of Indie
The late 20th century was a period of significant technological advancements and cultural shifts in the music industry. It was a period where roller skates, vibrant make-ups, oversized sunglasses, big hoop earrings, and flashy clothes quote on quote “were the jazz”. The rise of various genres, such as rock, disco, punk, and hip-hop, shaped the landscape. The primary formats for music consumption were vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs, with MTV's early 1980s introduction revolutionizing music marketing.

Major record labels held significant power, but independent labels and the DIY music scene emerged, challenging their dominance. The digital revolution began with the introduction of first digital recording techniques and the internet, setting the stage for major transformations in the 21st century music industry.

Who were the influential artists?
You may be familiar with the lyrics, 'And if a double-decker bus crashes into us, To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.' These lines are from The Smiths' song 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,' which is currently making a comeback with Gen Z. While the lyrics might seem a bit intense or dramatic, they vividly capture the band's distinctive style. The Smiths marked the end of synth-driven new wave and the beginning of the guitar rock that reigned English rock into the '90s along with the bands Oasis, R.EM, and my personal favorites Nirvana, Radiohead, and the Pixies.

You may have noticed that indie music is gradually diversifying, incorporating a wide range of styles and influences. This progression reflects an increasing desire for musical variety and experimentation among new generations of musicians, who draw influence from previous trends while carving their own distinct pathways.

Why do we love it?
As others may tell you, Indie music gives us the sensation of nostalgia when listening to it. Indie music does not limit the notes, and the rhythm of the song, it allows artists to go wild and end up in creating a fresh new beat spanning a diverse set of musical styles and sensibilities.

Over time, the term “indie” has come to encompass a wide range of genres and styles, including indie-folk, indie rock, synth-pop, dream pop, indie rap, and indie R&B, among others becoming modern indie.

Notable indie albums in the late 20th Century
"The Queen Is Dead" by The Smiths (1986) A seminal album in the indie rock canon, recognized for its beautiful lyrics and distinct sound, which helped shape the genre's history.

"Nevermind" by Nirvana (1991) Though Nirvana is most commonly associated with grunge voice style, this album's independent attitude and raw sound had a significant impact on alternative music and the broader indie scene.

"OK Computer" by Radiohead (1997) This album was a critical and commercial success, known for its experimental style, and has had a long-lasting impact on both independent and mainstream music. Album

Indie Music in the Digital Age
Thanks to the widespread use of technology, music genres are now accessible to a diverse range of audiences. Algorithms on music streaming platforms facilitate this accessibility by recommending songs and artists based on listeners' preferences. As a result, music is more available today than ever before, paving the way for new and emerging voices to showcase their talents. This has created a richer and more varied musical landscape, allowing a broader array of indie artists to reach and connect with global audiences. Some of the new voices today are:
Vansire - An Indie/Dream-Pop Duo
CASTLEBEAT - an American bedroom indie-pop/ indie-rock singer-songwriter
Day Wave - an American indie-rock project
Goth Babe - a solo dream pop-indie/alternative rock music artist
Surf Curse - an American indie surf rock band
Mac De Marco - a Canadian indie-rock singer, songwriter, and producer
Dominic Fike - an American indie-pop singer-songwriter, rapper, and actor.

These artists are just a few examples of the broad and intriguing talent that is developing in today's independent music landscape. Each contributes their own sound and style to the genre, helping to shape the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of current music.

Recap
Indie music has evolved from a niche movement driven by independent artists and labels into a diverse and influential genre. Its journey began with a DIY ethos, pushing the boundaries of traditional music and embracing creative freedom. Over time, indie music has integrated a wide range of styles, from folk to electronic, and has seen a significant transformation with the rise of digital technology.

This evolution has allowed indie artists to reach global audiences and innovate continuously. Indie music's enduring power lies in its ability to inspire and connect people across the globe. Its blend of innovation, authenticity, and emotional resonance makes it a unique and compelling part of the musical landscape, continuously shaping and reflecting the cultural zeitgeist.

Embrace the indie spirit and enjoy the rich implementation of sounds and stories it has to offer. If you've got the time, dive into the world of these indie artists—who knows, you might just find that catchy tune you heard on the radio.

The Avengers franchise is a must-experience in cinematic history. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has crafted a unique superhero narrative that captivates audiences worldwide. Its success is attributed to compelling characters, intricate plotlines, and emotional roller-coaster scenes.

A key strength of the Avengers series is its ability to unite a diverse group of superheroes into a cohesive narrative. This was a significant challenge, but the franchise succeeded by introducing major characters with their own backstories and standalone films, along with post-credits scenes (like “I am Iron Man”) that hinted at future developments while maintaining an element of surprise.

"The Avengers" (2012), the first entry in the franchise, assembled established characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk, while also introducing Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Nick Fury. This allowed the film to dive straight into action, bypassing extensive origin stories and connecting directly with fans. For instance, Iron Man's Tony Stark, Captain America's Steve Rogers, and Thor, who had already been well-established in their standalone films, made it easier for audiences to engage with them as an ensemble.

In "The Avengers," the conflict arises when Loki, Thor's adoptive brother, seeks to conquer Earth with an alien army. The film's charm lies in the characters' initial clashes and conflicts, highlighting their differing personalities and approaches. For example, in the first encounter between Thor, Steve Rogers, and Tony Stark, the Big Three show no immediate chemistry. Tony and Thor even fight intensely before Steve arrives. This clash, including Thor's frustration when Steve asks him to put his hammer down, makes their eventual teamwork and Loki's defeat all the more satisfying.

Following "The Avengers," the franchise continued with "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015), which introduced a darker tone and a more complex narrative. This sequel explores the consequences of the Avengers' actions and adds new characters like Wanda and Pietro Maximoff and Vision (formerly Tony's J.A.R.V.I.S). Internal conflicts, particularly the ideological clash between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, lead to a split among the team. The introduction of Ultron, an AI created by Stark that goes rogue, contrasts sharply with Vision. Despite being weaker than its predecessor, the film features significant moments, such as Thor's hammer Mjolnir being moved by Steve Rogers and the iconic Hulk versus Hulkbuster battle.

The franchise reaches its peak with "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018), which introduces Thanos, the mad titan who believes that wiping out half of the universe's population will ultimately save it. The film's emotional impact is profound, with heroes facing unprecedented challenges. The addition of characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Black Panther, and their various combinations, creates a dynamic and engaging spectacle.

"Avengers: Endgame" (2019) serves as a powerful conclusion to the Big Three (Thor, Steve Rogers, and Tony Stark) and the original Avengers (Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk), focusing on the aftermath of Thanos' devastating snap and the Avengers' efforts to reverse it. Using time travel to revisit key moments from previous MCU films evokes nostalgia and perfectly illustrates the five stages of grief. The climactic battle, where the Avengers confront Thanos one final time to "Kill him properly this time", delivers an epic spectacle while honoring each character's journey. The excitement in theaters was palpable, especially when Captain America wielded Thor's hammer—a moment that left audiences in awe (sorry for the spoiler), and of course the ending that made us sad and happy at the same time.

The Avengers franchise is celebrated for its well-developed characters, intricate storylines, and emotional depth. Its success lies in blending humor with high stakes, delivering compelling action sequences, and creating memorable moments of heroism and sacrifice. Every character resonates with fans not because of their perfection but because of their flaws, making them relatable despite their superpowers. As the franchise evolves, the new Avengers will carry the torch, continuing to inspire with lessons about courage, kindness, and sacrifice. These values should remain in our minds as we navigate life, striving to be a hero to someone.

Man, I can do this all day!

Basketball is more than just a sport in the Philippines; it is a way of life shared by Filipinos of all ages. Whether in busling cities or rural areas, the sound of a bouncing basketball is never far away. The presence of basketball courts in nearly every barangay reflects the sport's popularity in the country, with over 24,000 public courts and countless private courts spread across over 40,000 barangays, making the game accessible to everyone. This popularity has allowed basketball to become more than just a sport; it has ingrained itself into Filipinos' daily lives, fostering social interaction, camaraderie, and a shared love for the game. Whether it's a casual pick-up game or a local league, basketball holds a special place in Filipino culture.

This widespread presence has solidified basketball's status as one of the most popular sports in the Philippines. Its dominance is due largely to the sport's accessibility—minimal equipment and low cost for participation make basketball an easy choice for many Filipinos. Its role in fostering community spirit contributes significantly to its popularity, with local games and tournaments becoming major social events. Influential figures such as PBA stars June Mar Fajardo and Terrence Romeo, Filipino players excelling in international leagues like Dwight Ramos and Kai Sotto, and rising young stars Kevin Quiambao and Andy Gemao have also significantly contributed to basketball's prominence, drawing massive audiences and instilling national pride.

Adding to the sport's cultural richness is the "dayo" tradition, where players travel to other barangays or cities to compete against local teams. This practice elevates basketball beyond a mere hobby, turning it into a platform for showcasing skills and earning community respect. A well-known example of "dayo" can be seen in the "dayo series" by YouTuber, Mavrick Bautista, where heated matchups between visiting teams and local players often draw large and enthusiastic crowds, creating an electrifying atmosphere. These games are typically accompanied by bets, with stakes sometimes reaching thousands of pesos, adding an extra layer of intensity. The thrill of "dayo" games comes not just from the action on the court but from the shared experience it cultivates—players and spectators alike engage in a unique form of social bonding. The "dayo" culture enhances the sport's enjoyment and significance by fostering camaraderie and developing bonds within and between barangays.

Overall, basketball has evolved from a mere sport to become a central element of Filipino entertainment and community life. It is more than simply a game; it serves as a social gathering that draws people together, whether through small barangay leagues or the exhilarating "dayo" matches. Basketball games act as focal points for community bonding, bringing players and fans together through shared excitement and friendly rivalry. Its dual role as both a form of entertainment and a community activity makes basketball a unique and treasured aspect of Filipino culture. Its ability to unite people, create lasting memories, and build a sense of community illustrates why basketball holds such a special place in the hearts of Filipinos.

As a kid, I grew up with a PlayStation Portable, and one of the games I played was Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. It's the second generation of the series and was released in 2008. I quickly became addicted to it because of how fun it is, even though the gameplay loop is essentially just hunting monsters, crafting gear, and repeating the cycle. It may sound simple at first, but the game is actually quite deep. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite features 11 weapons, each with unique playstyles, tons of armor, and a total of 106 monsters to hunt. That alone is impressive for a game from 2008, especially one running on the PSP. With such a wealth of content, it's easy to lose track of time while playing.

As the years went by, I decided to revisit the series by playing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd on the PlayStation Portable. Compared to its predecessor, it has a smaller roster of monsters, with only 60. However, it compensates with one additional weapon, new weapon movesets, improved graphics, and quality-of-life changes that make grinding the game easier. Even though the game is on a smaller scale, it was still incredibly fun to play. The memories of playing this game with friends are ones I won't forget for a long time.

In 2018, one of the biggest games in the franchise was released: Monster Hunter World. This game marked a turning point for the series, transitioning from the Old World (older generations) to the New World (current generation). Before this game, the series was popular mainly in Japan, but it is now known worldwide, having sold 20.5 million copies. So why is this game so popular? First, the graphics have improved drastically. Compared to its predecessors, the difference is night and day. The developers took a more cinematic approach to the series, and it shows. For example, the environments feel alive with bustling locales and monsters interacting with each other and their surroundings. These interactions can lead to unexpected events, like two monsters fighting each other, adding to the game's cinematic and exciting nature. The weapon count has also increased to 14, offering new options for players. Each weapon comes with an improved tutorial to help you master it more quickly. The monster designs are unique and intimidating, from Anjanath spewing flames to Nergigante using its spikes as weapons. Each design is functional, reflecting the monster's behavior and combat style. The game is also very accessible, having been released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. Overall, Monster Hunter World has taken the world by storm with its blend of deep mechanics, beautiful design, and a thriving community, cementing its place as one of the best games in the series.

As anticipation builds for the release of 6th generation, starting off with Monster Hunter Wilds. Fans like me are excited for next year's release as this next game promises to push the boundaries of the franchise even further, improving on the success of the previous titles while introducing new mechanics. Monster Hunter Wilds will offer us a new adventure that will captivate both veterans and new hunters alike. As we wait for its launch, this game has the potential to give us the best the series has ever achieved and will most likely entice the next generation of hunters.

Intro
"Throughout heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one." This iconic line from Gojo Satoru in Jujutsu Kaisen perfectly encapsulates his belief in his unmatched strength. Let's explore why it's true.

Character Intro
Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga and anime series that follows jujutsu sorcerers battling curses—malevolent entities born from human negativity. Gojo Satoru, a central character, is renowned for his immense power and charismatic personality. As one of the strongest sorcerers, he mentors the protagonist, Yuji Itadori, and plays a crucial role in the series' conflicts, contributing to its popularity and depth.

GOAT Meaning
"G.O.A.T." stands for "Greatest of All Time" and refers to someone who surpasses all others in skill, achievement, or influence. In Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo is often considered the G.O.A.T. due to his unmatched jujutsu abilities, strategic intelligence, and boastful yet charming personality. His Limitless Cursed Technique allows him to manipulate space, making him a nearly unstoppable force. Coupled with his sharp intellect and charisma, Gojo embodies the title of the "Greatest of All Time" in the world of jujutsu sorcery.

Gojo's Power and Abilities
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, curses are born from human malice, and sorcerers exorcise them. Gojo is the strongest among them, known for his power and personality. As one of the four special grades, Gojo's inherited technique, Limitless, allows him to control and distort space. This technique reaches its full potential thanks to the Six Eyes—a rare physical trait passed down in the Gojo family, granting him extraordinary perception and control over cursed energy.

Gojo's Personality and Philosophy on Strength
Gojo's personality is a key reason for his popularity. He is strong, funny, easygoing, and often arrogant, making him both entertaining and memorable. His carefree nature allows him to stay relaxed in serious situations, yet he genuinely cares for his students and takes his role as a mentor seriously. Gojo's ability to balance his playful side with his sense of responsibility adds depth to his character, making him not only powerful but also likable and relatable.

Gojo's Feats

Changing the world at birth
Gojo was destined to be the strongest from birth, inheriting both the Limitless Technique and the Six Eyes—a combination not seen in 400 years. His birth alone altered the balance of the world, making the curses after his birth be stronger. Criminals using jujutsu feared him, and even as a child, he had a bounty on his head, though no one dared to claim it. Gojo's existence has reshaped the world for both better and worse.

Mastery of Limitless Technique
With the help of the Six Eyes, Gojo mastered the Limitless Technique at an early age, gaining access to abilities like Infinity (an infinite barrier that stops anything from reaching him), Lapse Blue (which draws things in), Reversal Red (which repels things), and Hollow Purple (a destructive combination of both). His Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void, traps opponents in a space that overwhelms their brains with information, rendering them helpless.

"Are you the strongest because you're Satoru Gojo? Or are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest?" This question reflects the deep connection between Gojo's abilities and personality. Is his strength a result of his nature, or has his nature been shaped by his strength? Gojo's power and persona are intertwined, with each reinforcing the other, making him a character whose greatness stems from both his exceptional abilities and his unique demeanor. So neither.

Conclusion
Gojo Satoru's status as the GOAT in Jujutsu Kaisen is a testament to his unparalleled abilities, captivating personality, and profound impact on both the series and its fans. His mastery of the Limitless Technique and Six Eyes, combined with his strategic prowess and philosophical outlook on strength, solidifies his place as the ultimate GOAT of the jujutsu world.

Intro
LeBron James, often regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, has built a career that has left an indelible mark on the NBA. From his much-anticipated debut in 2003 to his continued dominance as a veteran, James has consistently demonstrated unmatched skill, earning numerous accolades and setting records that will endure for years. His journey through the league has been defined by a relentless pursuit of greatness, both on and off the court.

Early Years and Immediate Impact
Born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio, LeBron James showed early signs of a rare combination of athleticism and basketball IQ. By the time he was in high school at St. Vincent-St. Mary, he had become a national sensation, often appearing on magazine covers and being heralded as the future of basketball. His high school games were even nationally televised, a rarity that underscored the anticipation surrounding his entry into the NBA.

In the 2003 NBA Draft, LeBron was selected as the first overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking the start of a new era for the franchise and the league. At just 18 years old, LeBron faced immense expectations but quickly proved his worth. In his rookie season, he averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game, showcasing his versatility and ability to impact the game in multiple ways. His debut performance of 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists against the Sacramento Kings hinted at the greatness to come. LeBron's impressive rookie campaign earned him the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, making him the first Cavaliers player to receive this honor. Beyond his statistics, what stood out was his poise and maturity on the court. Unlike most rookies, LeBron played with the confidence of a seasoned veteran, leading his team with an innate understanding of the game. His ability to play and defend multiple positions, combined with his court vision and passing ability, made him a unique talent from the start.

Dominance in Cleveland
LeBron's first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers lasted seven seasons, during which he evolved into one of the league's most dominant players. His rapid growth transformed the struggling Cavaliers into a perennial playoff contender. In the 2006-07 season, LeBron led the Cavaliers to their first-ever NBA Finals appearance at just 22 years old. Though the team lost to the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron's ability to carry a team to the Finals at such a young age was a testament to his extraordinary talent and leadership. Despite his individual success, including multiple All-Star selections and MVP awards, a championship eluded LeBron during his first tenure with Cleveland. Frustrated by the Cavaliers' inability to build a strong supporting cast, LeBron made the controversial decision to leave Cleveland in search of a championship elsewhere.

The Miami Heat Era
In 2010, LeBron joined the Miami Heat, forming a superteam with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. This move, though polarizing, was driven by LeBron's desire to win championships. In Miami, LeBron's career reached new heights. He led the Heat to four consecutive NBA Finals appearances, winning back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013. His dominance during these years earned him two Finals MVP awards and further cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time.

Return to Cleveland and Delivering on a Promise
In 2014, LeBron made a surprising return to Cleveland, driven by a desire to bring a championship to his hometown. His return was marked by a deep sense of loyalty and unfinished business. In the 2015-16 NBA season, LeBron delivered on his promise, leading the Cavaliers to an epic NBA Finals victory over the Golden State Warriors, who had set the record for the most wins in a regular season. LeBron's performance in the Finals was legendary, earning him his third Finals MVP award and ending Cleveland's 52-year championship drought.

Continuing Excellence with the Los Angeles Lakers
In 2018, LeBron joined the Los Angeles Lakers, a move many saw as the final chapter of his career. Despite facing challenges in his first season due to injuries, LeBron returned in 2019-20 with renewed vigor.
He led the Lakers to their 17th NBA Championship, tying them with the Boston Celtics for the most in league history. LeBron's fourth Finals MVP award made him the first player in NBA history to win the honor with three different franchises. Even in his late 30s, LeBron has continued to perform at an elite level, solidifying his place among the greatest players in NBA history.

You might be wondering how this website was made. Or maybe, how is it possible that whenever I click any post, it instantly loads it up into the screen almost instantaneously.

How about the fun effects we've put to hook you into a new experience? It's kind of an experiment and it's non-standard for sure. But it's there to give some form of engagement.

Well, the secret is simple. It's pure foundational mastery of web development. There's no frameworks or libraries in place, everything was written by hand. This is how you achieve super-efficiency.

This is a single-page application which is a technical term referring to a set of sites that have a certain functionality. If we're being more technical, frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular allow a person to create an SPA.

The only difference is that this website is written in vanilla JavaScript. Our insanely smart leader, Ralph, wrote a script in order to provide the functionalities that a single-page application framework would more-or-less provide. The focus is on rendering content and pages quick.

I've identified points on why my methodology on the creation of this website would work very well.

• There is a fixed-size amount of content and I know that the amount is small relative to most sites.
• Frameworks and library introduce overhead in two ways; first in the network, next in the execution of the script.
• Our effects would be most performant if it can be written as precisely as possible.

There you have it. We hope you enjoy the content in this blog site. Share it around the world. Have fun. Live young. Live free. Live with all the wonders in your heart!
