The LCC Waves

𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘴𝘦.. 𝘉𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳.. 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦.. 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘵.. 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝘿𝙤𝙝?

These items may look like they’re straight from a grocery list, but oddly enough, these are only some of the various forms of a stress-reliever that managed to garner the attention of the masses—squishies!

You must’ve seen these squishies before, no? Whether it might’ve been from one of your classmates fidgeting with one in the classroom or the staggering squishy hauls that influencers post, it’s hard to deny that these astonishing toys have started to plague our minds more often.

The soft and squeezable squishies have slowly risen to the top among the countless internet trends all thanks to the content creators and influencers that showcased their diversity in shapes and sizes. From a cartoony-looking cheese to a translucent cube and to an unrealistic sized peanut, the entirety of these squishies have a common denominator that became a major contributor to their virality—their ASMR appeal!

The fact that these fidgets help to dissipate stressful emotions through the means of their smooth, stretchy, and slow-rising demeanor prove that they weren’t just made for their visual appeal and collectible nature, but to assist in easing the minds of the overwhelmed. Regardless of what shape, color, and size you decide to get, just know that when things get a bit too hectic, a few simple squeezes of your squishy are enough to help combat the day ahead.

Surely, you’ve heard of Ela quer leitada or Professora, é six seven, right? Even if you can’t recall playing it on your own phone, you’ve definitely overheard it from those around you, because actually—these songs have been dominated by a dance that rules over any beat!

Having taken over the entire summer with one energetic tune after another, the Brazilian dance stays at its peak until now. With steps so simple, you can easily do it to any song that fits, or even those that don’t seem to match the vibe. I mean, others have done it to ringtones and nursery rhymes just for the fun of it 🤷‍♀️

Seriously though, any beat will do, and that’s exactly why the craze just doesn’t stop…

One of the famous people who contributed to the popularity of the dance is Arthur Lima on TikTok, having a page filled with different entries that made him a creator who’s recognized for this specific move. Moreover, I kid you not that the Brazilian dance’s fame is so widespread that it even made its way to the FIFA World Cup! Another person who joined in on this dance is Chadi Riad, a Moroccan footballer who did the move for his introduction, instantly lighting the energy in the crowd.

It’s fascinating how a simple dance can stay relevant and keep expanding throughout the whole year, isn’t it? While we’re still at it, try tagging a friend who’ll do the dance with you! 💃

Annually celebrated, today marks a special occasion for the province of Laguna. Built from the legacy of our national hero—Dr. Jose Rizal, Laguna Day showcases its provincial pride.

In honor of Rizal's birth anniversary as well as being his birthplace, Laguna Day is not just any holiday—but rather a reminder of what we should not forget.

Rizal's profound display of nationalism, and intellectual revolt against the Spanish colonizers, became the light to the oppression that consumed the country. And despite his death, his legacy awakened the eyes of many Filipinos and more generations to come.

Beneath Rizal's story and influence lies a deeper meaning to Laguna Day, highlighting the pride and legacy within it.
