- I'm a dual citizen of Hong Kong and the Philippines. I live and was born in Hong Kong and am Filipino / Filipina / Philippine, but I don't speak Filipino / Tagalog / Philippine, Mandarin or Cantonese. (I know a bit of each; I actually know more Japanese than Mandarin & Cantonese. Chinese was a huge joke taught in Sacred Heart School - Jesuit but now the school is known as Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu. We didn't learn anything. They just told us to memorise stuff that we didn't have to understand.)

- Full name: J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. Bentulan (P stands for Pedrosa, my Philippine maternal name)

-貝多芬 is the actual name given to me by secondary school chinese (mandarin) teacher and is subsequently used as my official chinese name in my hong kong passport.

- RIP my secondary school chinese (mandarin) teacher Mx Rosita Shih https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010354234512 and https://9gag.com/gag/aLQPm0A

-Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.

- Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
