Dateline: 06 May 2018, University of the Philippines, Quezon City
I thought I missed the whole thing, the Philippines' hosting of the 2018 World's Strongest Man. After the despedida dinner for the BFF, who will be out of the country for this and the next three years to accomplish his Ph.D., I reached out to some acquaintances online, whom I knew faithfully followed the tournament's events since the last weekend of April.
The BFF and I were in luck; the concluding finals events were to happen Sunday after the despedida dinner. I gave BFF some going-away gifts (i.e., belated birthday and advanced Christmas gifts), and after our impromptu visit to UP Diliman's amphitheater (behind the Administration Building), seems that I also gave him an additional going-away gift of sunburn.
(Congratulations to the "Mountain" of Game of Thrones fame, Hafþór Júlíus "Thor" Björnsson, from Iceland, who was awarded first place overall.)
