Female superhero Chinese Redbud Woman appears in Beijing
This May, a female “superhero” appeared in Hong Kong, wearing low-cut black tights and blue mask, called herself “Zijing Woman” (紫荆侠) or “Chinese Redbud Woman”. She handed out food and cash to some Hong Kong residents. The mysterious masked female vigilante received great attention in Hong Kong.
However, on December 24, a “female superhero” also appeared in Beijing, wearing exactly the same outfit as the “Chinese Redbud Woman” of Hong Kong.
“Today is my first day as the Chinese Redbud Woman, feeling a little nervous. Already prepared the military coats and food for the elderlies, also many thanks to the hand warner friend gave me.” She called herself Chinese Redbud Woman in her microblog, mysteriously appeared on the cold streets of Beijing on Christmas Eve, in front of the Wangfujing Bookstore, at the Xidan subway station and other places, distributed clothing and gifts to beggars and homeless. Beijing residents and netizens also started to talk about her.
I’m in love. Like seriously.

What exactly makes her a vigilante?
Step one: Blow up a balloon.
Step two: Soak any piece of cute cloth or lace in wallpaper glue.
Step three: When putting the cloth on the balloon, make sure the sides overlap each other so it stays formed once balloon is gone. Let dry overnight.
Step four: Pop the balloon, attach string, hang!

Tadhana: Coach Rio’s Engagement Proposal Video (featuring Armi & Carlos)
December 22nd was not just an ordinary Thursday. What happened was special and heartwarming. We were told of the plans for a covert mission just the day before. And despite time pressure, the plan pulled thru exactly as it was planned by the girls of RunRio - Justine, Kathy, Jam and Ate Dada. And so with costumes and props, we covertly shot the proposal of the year. Imagine, a couple on a jeepney, and in various stops, their friends and the girlfriend’s favorite band, Up Dharma Down, hopped in. As the jeepney traversed the grounds of U.P. Diliman, the band started playing the girl’s favorite song “Tadhana.” Fate as it is, now we know why we’re blessed to cover RunRio’s runs for the past months, we were actually being part of Coach Rio dela Cruz’s Run for Love. Right there, with their friends and Oble as witnesses, the Maestro of Running fell down on his knees and proposed to a very beautiful girl named Nicole Wuthrich.

i like the move from “their” to “our.”

If you can, read the whole report. It’s just over 60 pages but there is so much useful and heartbreaking information in there.
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.
