Well, the latest in Formula 1 as the defending 2 time world champion Max Verstappen has won the Canadian Grand Prix in an epic race from the pole as he moves to 41 race wins if you will, matching the late Brazilian of Ayrton Senna (Although Sir Lewis Hamilton leads the all-time list with 103 ahead of Michael Schumacher with 91 then Sebastian Vettel who notched up 53 & Alain Prost who had done it 51 times) while Red Bull is celebrating its 100th race win in Formula 1 since their debut in 2005 when they took over from Jaguar (Who were once known as Stewart F1 from 1997 until 1999, but their 1st win for Red Bull came in 2009 in China were Sebastian Vettel (A year after his first win in F1 with Toro Rosso in Italy & a year before he celebrated his first of 4 world championships) won an action packed grand prix) & only the fifth to record a century of wins in F1 along with 4 others such as Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes & Williams.
And I revealed that I have added Jackie Chan (Who is one of by far, my favourite Asian film stars as well as my favourite martial arts actors) as one of my favourite film stars list along with the likes of 6 others like Schwarzenegger, Cruise, Jackson, Reeves, Morrison & Urban.
And in cricket related news that the 1st Ashes test had been won by the defending world test champions of Australia (Who unveiled their mystery playbook by countering the Baz ball effect with some wicked piece of bowling by a star studded bowling attack consisting of veterans Mitchell Starc & captain Pat Cummins) at Edgbaston in Birmingham against the kings of limited overs cricket of England (Who declared 393 for 6 in the first innings) after a revival by easily one of Australia's best batters along with Steve Smith of David Warner (Who is set to retire after the Sydney test next year).
And I fear that there is going to be a war between China & Taiwan, but they haven't been yet confirmed just like the terrible events unfolded that happened since February last year that I can't show you guys on my blog so it doesn't offend the people of the country led by that lunatic who started it (And another country has supported their main country's role into that horrible event) because Pops warned me not to post stuff about it (But is it OK about posting stuff about another terrible stuff last year in another country? But not the horrific event being unfolded), & it has been going since as tensions mount between the two (And I originally posted stuff about it last year but Pops told me to get rid of that stuff which deemed to be illegal while Dad always posts stuff about the horrendous events being occurred on Twitter).
And I literally found something in my bedroom yesterday such as my old birthday ring (I'm keeping my birthday ring from now on) that I bought in 2008, but I decided to give my old jade green dragon necklace that the late Nan & Pops bought it for me in 2010 to my cousin as well as my honorary sister of Paige Williams (Best known as Cathey's daughter & Norah's mother) next time when I go to Wellington with possibly Dad along with my old Linkin Park Meteora album from 2003 since I got that remastered Linkin Park Meteora album which came out earlier this year that I'm giving it to her.
And finally here are the results of the semifinals of the Super Rugby Pacific competition:
Crusaders 52 - 15 Blues (It was the Crusaders night as they easily annhiliated the Blues (Who had Hoskins Sotutu sin binned for a side entry of a promising Crusaders maul which proved costly & that proved to be the game changer) to make another appearance in the final in their quest for their record extending 12th Super Rugby title at Orangetheory Stadium in Christchurch)
& Chiefs 19 - 6 Brumbies (And it was the Chiefs who stole the show to win that 2nd semi against the Brumbies to advance to their first final since 2013 for which I was stoked about it when veteran lock forward for the Chiefs of Brodie Retallick scored a sensational try before the death which put the semi beyond doubt which proved to be the turning point at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton)
So it's the Chiefs (Who is the Crusaders main challengers in this year's Super Rugby Pacific competition (It was the Blues last year, then the Chiefs took over this year) to play the defending champions the Crusaders in the 2023 Super Rugby Pacific final (Their last meeting between the 2 sides at in SRP was in round 10 in which the Chiefs won the match by 10 points at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton for their 2nd consecutive win against the Crusaders) at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton on Saturday local time (And it's Scott Robertson's last game in charge of the Crusaders as he is set to take over as head coach of the AB's from next year onwards but I once told Pops that there is going to be an Chiefs-Crusaders final, but it's happening as dreams are about to become reality that there will be a dream final between both franchises) to decide who will become Super Rugby Pacific champions (Well, who is it going to be? Whether it's Chiefs mana to party like it's both 2012 & 2013 or will the Crusaders continue to crusade on to defend their title? We'll see but I don't think so), but will it be Chiefs co-captains of Sam Cane & Brad Weber (It was both Craig Clarke & Liam Messam who did it in 2012 against the Sharks in the final then a year later against the Brumbies in the final) or Crusaders captain Scott Barrett to become the SRP winning captain to lift the Super Rugby Pacific trophy?.
So that is my 505th blog of the year 2023 (MMXXIII) & my 29th of this year, viva Ukraine.
