Gosh, three weather disturbances just waiting in the offing. I hope they won’t turn into dreaded typhoons. We are having monsoon rains, those type that won’t stop in a blink. Honestly, I hate monsoon rains. We still have at least a month probably before the end of the rainy season, sometimes though, strong typhoons still happen during December.
My son Josef who is so fond of playing games in his cellphone and in my computer, downloaded some games on my tab. I am not really into these online games which take so much of one’s time once you start playing one. He said that I could play them when I get tired of reading. Haha! I have the block puzzle and I am trying to reach more than 1,000 scores on the classic level but all I was able to reach so far is a measly 931. It’s not really that hard but you need a little strategy to get a high score. He also downloaded Wordscapes which I like better than the block puzzle. Creating new words out of four or just five letters with sometimes only one vowel. Great! I am challenged by this. Sometimes, one thinks of longer words but a three-letter one does as well.
He asked if I want movies downloaded on my tab too. I don’t. I rather watch one on YouTube when I feel like it (on my computer with the bigger screen, that is). There are several Tagalog movies that come free but I am not into watching films because I easily get bored and sometimes the story seems like culled from one of the books I’ve read before. Playing music is better for me.
I am presently reading this book about the life of Hedy Lamarr which was written in fiction. But who is Hedy Lamarr? It’s the first time I heard of her. She is Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, an Austrian-born American film actress and inventor. I am still in the middle of the book but I find it an engrossing read. I would love to know what her scientific contributions were to the world.
Starting Monday right. Getting in touch with some friends via Messenger and trying to reach out. Have a nice and lovely week ahead everyone.
Sending prayers you escape the typhoons.

I knew the name Hedy Lamarr, but I knew nothing about her. I’m so glad to find out Hedy is short for Hedwig.
We need rain here, but not your type. I can’t imagine a rainy season lasting so long. Keep reading and it will pass.

I am not familiar with her Anne so I still have to google her name. Yes the months of July, August and September are rainy months for us. October gets a bit colder towards November until the end of February

Try this short article, Arlene.

I’m surprised you have never heard of her. She was very famous as an actress, though her inventions are less well known. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032273/
Best wishes, Pete.

Maybe it’s because I am not so much into watching films. I read her biography, she’s indeed a talented actress. It makes the book more interesting to read.

My granddaughter put Wordscapes on my phone. I found it while I was waiting for a mammogram and ultrasound(both fine) and played it for quite a while. It was a great distraction.

Yes, it really is but I am thinking of other word games which are more challenging than Wordscapes. Thanks 🙂
