From Flappy Bird to Life: Five Lessons in Life

Ever heard of Flappy Bird? If not, check out the infographic from Startapp.com about the so-called rise and fall of the viral mobile application that topped the iOS’s Apple Store and Android’s Play Store in more than 100 countries in a span of months.

Flappy Bird is a mobile game application released in 2013 by Vietnamese Dong Nguyen. The main objective of the game is to get a flapping bird across either high-mid-or-low-opened pipes that are very much akin to those seen in the Mario Bros series. The bird moves upward when the player taps on the screen and scores are based on the number of pipes passed through successfully.

Musicals and Me

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
~ Toulouse-Lautrec (Moulin Rouge, 2001)

I have always been a self-proclaimed fan of musicals both on film and TV ever since I can remember.

I even partook in a musical play during my final year in elementary in our version of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil's Miss Saigon, which made our very own Lea Salonga infamous in the Broadway and West End.
