WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Pedro Pascal, Anna Torv, Bella Ramsey #TheLastOfUs As a die-hard fan of the franchise, I couldn't wait to return to The Last of Us, this time in the form of a live-action adaptation. And the show did not disappoint. The episode provided a gripping and compelling look into the game's world, from the opening scene set in 2003 in Jakarta to the brutal and violent action scenes. Bella Ramsey's performance as Ellie was one of the episode's standouts. Her portrayal of the character perfectly captures Ellie's strong and resourceful nature. Watching her navigate the horrors of the world outside the QZ walls was a joy. Ramsey's comedic timing and sense of hope in a despondent world provide a much-needed counterpoint to the darkness around her. Ellie and Joel's chemistry, as played by Pedro Pascal, was also impressive. They both had tough exteriors but revealed moments of trust and affection for one another. The Last of Us' set design is

For years, my wife and I have wanted to meet Apo Whang Od - the last traditional mambabatok (tattoo artist) of the Kalinga tribe here in the Philippines. Her work passed down through generations, is a cultural treasure and an art form that has fascinated us. We finally found the opportunity to meet her thanks to my wife, who discovered a group on Facebook called " Tribong Panhik ." The group regularly organizes trips for interested individuals who want to meet Apo Whang Od, and we decided to join one of their trips last January 11, 2023. The price per head was Php 4000 (please check with them for the current tour package), including transportation, meals, and a homestay. In short, all you need to do is to enjoy the trip.  With the legendary mababatok, Apo Whang-Od.
