Someone has some serious explaining to do



Kayla Richardson and Eric Cray both won gold on Tuesday at the 28th Southeast Asian Games but the Philippine flags on their vests were upside down. The inverted flag, with the red rather than blue side on top, means that the country is officially at war.

Finding Peace at Galleria Nicolas

The current art pieces on display at Galleria Nicolas in Alabang Town Center are incredibly calming. The moment I walked through the doors, it felt as though someone had hit the slow-motion button on my brain. An immediate, overwhelming sense of peace washed over me—not the boring, sleepy kind, but a quiet, deeply centered feeling. The artworks seemed to gently whisper, "Chill out," without being preachy. They weren't vying for attention; they were simply there, inviting one to look closer and truly take their time. The pieces themselves are simple and exceptionally classy, yet they possess an incredible depth. It's that wonderful feeling when you see something beautiful but cannot quite articulate why it affects you so powerfully. A lot of the art is what I'd call conventional—familiar themes, perhaps a little sentimental. But here's the good part: they take that conventional style and supercharge it, giving it new emotional weight. And the colors? They'...

Skynet on wheels, anyone?

Yamaha just dropped the mic on the future of two-wheelers with the MOTOROiD:Λ concept. This isn't just an electric bike; it's a four-wheeled robot pretending to be a motorcycle—one that learns, corrects itself, and can apparently look back at its own taillight while cruising. This bike is really smart. It uses Self-Learning AI that constantly tracks your riding style (braking, turning, speed) and refines its own handling to become smoother and smarter over time. If you hit a pothole or start to tip, the AI instantly corrects the balance, and it can even self-right without you touching it. It stays upright thanks to robotic stabilizers (called Motion Arms) that are so precise they can spin the bike's rear end 180 degrees while moving. Plus, the wheels have Hub Motors built in, giving it super-quick throttle and brake response, which adds to its almost supernatural stability. Is this stunning technology a real product coming soon, or is it just an impressive concept bike des...

Cambodia's Stunning New, Eco-Friendly Airport

Have you checked out the new airport in Cambodia? It's not just a place to catch a flight; it's a total cultural experience the moment you step off the plane. Instead of the usual glass-and-steel box, this airport is deeply rooted in Cambodian culture. I'm talking about the roof, which has this cool, undulating (wavy) form that's a direct architectural shout-out to the iconic temples and palaces of the country. Passengers are also greeted by 200 hand-crafted sculptures, including a central bronze-cast Buddha. But here's the best part: the terminal is going to be almost entirely run on energy generated by a nearby solar farm. I mean, how often do you get to fly through a beautiful, culturally-inspired building that's also practically powered by the sun? WATCH:
