Life in Hong Kong is fast-paced, and there will always be some office workers who have never exercised habits, but decide to start exercising when they are in their thirties because of obvious weight gain or health problems. At this time, you may complain that you started too late, and at the same time secretly feel weak and inferior to your body. Don't be discouraged just yet, because it's never too late to start working.  Marlene Flowers, a "fitness grandma" in Washington, D.C., has become a popular Blogger (IG@granny__guns) on Instagram, with 680,000 followers, not only because she is an elderly person who can work out, but also because she is an elderly person who pursues fitness and works harder than others. 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Granny Guns（@granny__guns）分...

圖片來源 ： IG@BoliJewelleryStudio The hand-made market has lasted for many years, every time I go to the hand-made market, I am most afraid of seeing the same, very similar works, I believe that it is because of many times that some of the hand-made thresholds are low, relatively easy to learn, easy to use, and over time I once lost my interest in visiting the hand-made market. At the beginning of this year, there was a market where there was an opportunity to "pick up the shop", although there were not many stalls, but people were pleasantly surprised to encounter an eye-catching handmade product, that is, hand-typed silver jewelry, the pattern on the silver jewelry is extremely detailed, although it is cold to the touch, it looks full of temperature. This small shop is Eva's one-man ...

When you travel to Japan or Taiwan, have you ever felt envious of how the locals seem to be self-sufficient when it comes to food and daily necessities? If you take a closer look, you'll realize that Hong Kong also offers a variety of local brands and agricultural products. Despite not having the same resources as big corporate brands, they continue to work quietly to preserve Hong Kong's agriculture and local products. To sustain these local brands, there needs to be a supportive community. In the latest issue, BBOLD magazine interviewed a woman named Katie, born in the 90s. During the pandemic, she decided to leave her job as a designer and courageously ventured into the world of "ecopreneurship." Starting with experience in eco-friendly retail, she took a further step in July 2023 b...

Watch on YouTube：https://youtu.be/0AwUbO6R4G8 Ballroom culture originated in the 1980s in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, created by marginalized LGBTQ individuals, specifically black and Latinx gay and transgender men and women.

If you've been following the Olympic events, you're likely familiar with the sport of 10-meter platform diving. Standing on a 10-meter platform and looking down at the pool, most people still need a great deal of courage to take the leap. But there are some who not only shine on the 10-meter platform, but also have the bravery to take on an even greater challenge: cliff diving. While cliff diving and platform diving share similarities, cliff divers jump from heights ranging from 18 to 27 meters, more than double the height of the platform. This significant difference in height impacts diving techniques and safety in various ways. Diving from such heights carries inherent risks and dangers. Even diving from a platform (30 feet above ground) can result in injuries like bruises, fractured...

In our previous conversation, we talked about the rich marine ecosystem on Bohol. When diving there, you have a chance to witness incredible barracuda storms, jackfish storms, small sharks, and sea turtles. But there's more to explore than just these magnificent creatures. Divers can also visit dive sites where they can explore sunken ships and the remnants of underwater airplanes. Exploring different dive sites offers divers a variety of diving experiences with different underwater terrains. In the quest to find marine life, it requires not only keen observation skills but also a bit of luck. As they say, "Finding big things is easier, but finding smaller creatures is more challenging." One of the favorites among divers is the adorable "sea bunny," also known as a sea slug. Divers ...

On the first day after our arrival, we completed a check dive and officially began our daily underwater adventure with three dives. Bohol offers mostly wall dives and slope dives, with calm water currents, high visibility, and a consistent water temperature of 26 to 29 degrees Celsius throughout the year. The dive sites are surrounded by coral reefs, with the diving activities starting at the reefs and then descending along the cliffs for a wall dive. It's an ideal location for beginners to learn and for experienced divers to upgrade their skills and gain more experience. Every morning, around 9 am, we would take a shuttle from the hotel to Alona Beach, where we would board a boat to explore the various islands near Bohol. Here are some of the dive sites we visited on this trip. ...
