Hi there! It’s another long weekend. It would have been an extra-long one had the palace not flimflammed on its earlier declaration about today being a holiday. But considering the recent tragedy to hit the country, a holiday will not matter anymore.

And barbarian is the term that came to mind after reading about the massacre down south. Yes, the act was heinous, considering it as barbaric is putting it softly, so softly.
