Netflix Triviaverse

I can't believe it's taken me all this time to discover Triviaverse on Netflix!

I was looking for something to watch when I stumbled upon Triviaverse. I love trivia games so I thought I would give it a go. Each game is played over three 1-minute rounds. In each round, you are asked trivia questions and you select what you think the answer is by using your remote control. The first answer you get correct is worth 100 points, the second correct answer in a row that you get is worth 150 points, and every consecutive answer you get after that is worth 200 points. If you make a mistake, your next correct answer is worth 100 points again so the goal here is to get as many consecutive answers correct as you can and get 200 points per question.

I ended up finding this game to be extremely addictive! I would play several games in a row, especially if I wasn't happy with the last one. In the first game I played, I breached 2000 points, which placed me at the Lucky Guesser level haha. I got the hang of the game and moved up quickly after that, eventually breaching 4000 points and getting to the Super Nerd level haha.

Interestingly enough, a lot of the questions get repeated as you keep playing the game so eventually, started to remember the correct answer to some questions. Because of that, I eventually achieved my best result - 7300 points! To get this score, I had to answer 38 out of 39 questions correctly making me a Triviaverse God. Awesome!

My worst category at the point I took the screenshot above was Geography but over time, my worst category has switched among Geography, History, and Sports. However, my highest score has remained to be Animals.

While I continue to play this game, I still haven't managed to beat my high score. To make things even more difficult, once I stopped playing for a while, I started to forget some of the answers haha. Still, I absolutely love Netflix Triviaverse and I'm glad I discovered it. If you are a fan of trivia games, you should try it!

French Open 2024

Carlos Alcaraz just won his first French Open title, defeating Alexander Zverev in five sets 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2. Alcaraz is the youngest male player to have won three major titles on three different surfaces - US Open 2022 (hard court), Wimbledon 2023 (grass), and French Open 2024 (clay). He has played three Grand Slam finals and he has won all three. He is only 21 years old and already he is a guaranteed tennis Hall of Famer. Amazing!

A first Roland-Garros title. A third Grand Slam title. 21 years old.

Equally amazing is Iga Swiatek, who won her fourth French Open title and third one in a row, defeating Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 6-1 in the final. She was challenged very sternly in the second round by Naomi Osaka, who had a match point against Swiatek. But aside from that match, she won everything else pretty convincingly, losing an average of 3 games in the 6 other matches she played. Similar to Carlos, Iga has won all the Grand Slam finals she has contested in her career. With five major titles to her name, that's a pretty solid stat.

Of course, I can't write about a Grand Slam without including Diede de Groot, who continues to add to her legacy by winning the women's wheelchair singles title. This is her 22nd Grand Slam singles title and her fourth consecutive French Open title. Truly amazing!

Congratulations Carlos, Iga, and Diede!

Rest in Peace, Tita Margie

It's a sad time for my family. My Tita Margie has passed away.

She was very faithful (and her family continues to be). It was that strength of belief that helped her and her family get through tremendously difficult challenges over the years. Many years ago, Tita Margie suffered an aneurysm but despite the odds, she survived. No, she thrived! So considering what she had to overcome, it was heartbreaking to learn that she had a terminal illness about a year ago. Still, faith kept her and her family steadfast.

While it could not have been easy and must have been very frightening, she lived her final year with tremendous grace. Tito Chet, her extraordinarily loving husband, and her family stayed by her side in her final journey. Tita Margie requested a living memorial where the people around her would get to say goodbye and share their thoughts with her while she was still alive. I'm happy that she was able to feel the love of the people around her in her final days with us and that her family and friends could let her know just how much she meant to them before she passed on.

Rest in peace, Tita Margie.
