The tension gets thicker, the Ents move towards their enemies like how Birnam Wood is about to strike at Macbeth, and the excitement heightens in the second Lord of the Rings movie. Please enjoy my review and let me know your opinions.

Happy Thanksgiving Month, everybody. I have been quiet about this for over three weeks. This is because I have been busy with my contributions for this year’s Red Ribbon Reviewers Month. However, I am proud to announce that I have officially obtained my Master’s Degree in American Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Therefore, I have finally completed two intense years of next-level study and research in my chosen field of American history, literature, culture, art, music, popular culture, politics, sociology, and sociocultural theory. This was also accompanied by two elective courses in British Studies, which have also jettisoned my passion for studies revolving around popular culture, literature, film, television, music, and art in American and British contexts. This recent achievement gets better. I have also obtained a final grade of 1,8, which is better than the 2,0 I obtained from my Bachelor’s Degree in English and Musicology. I have graduated at the top 25% of my class. By American standards, I have graduated with an A at the highest, an A- at the middle, and a B+ at the lowest, thus landing me strongly at Cum Laude. By British graduate school standards, I have graduated with 73.4%, thus landing me in Distinction or First-Class Honours. By Australian graduate standards, I graduated with 86, thus landing me in High Distinction. By Singaporean standards, I have graduated with an A- or 4.5 according to the National University of Singapore and a 3.6, an A, or Magna Cum Laude according to the Singapore Management University. By Canadian standards, I have graduated with an A- at the highest and a B+ at the lowest, once again with a strong Cum Laude. By Hong Kong standards, I have graduated with an A- at the highest and B+ or Distinction. By Philippine standards, I have graduated with an A at the highest, an A- at the middle, and a B+ at the lowest or a 1.55, hence a very strong Cum Laude again. Anyway you slice it, I have emerged as a proud A/AB honor student. My dear family, friends, role models, teachers, colleagues, fans, fellow artists, fellow pundits, and students, thank you all so much for this exciting journey of inspiration and high purpose.

Good morning, everybody. While editing my review of Marie-Ève Signeyrole’s production of Verdi’s Macbeth at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, I finally hit the 2,500 YouTube subscriber mark yesterday. Thank you all for keeping up with me and all of my content. I am ecstatic to have made it this far in my decade-and-three-year tenure as an online content creator. I want to thank my father, mother, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, family friends, confidants, and helpers for giving me the purpose and drive to accomplish more than I can do. I also thank my fellow online reviewers, artists, writers, actors, voice actors, singers, filmmakers, musicians, academics, and mavens of the arts, music, media, and popular culture for constantly inspiring me to thrive with passion, ambition, and endless endurance. Finally, I thank my teachers, mentors, true friends, and colleagues for continually pushing me to do better as an online content creator and as a person. Thank you all once again.
