Viktor

Heinz 57

Let me introduce myself. My name is Viktor Nonong Medrano. I like astronomy and science fiction, as I like shows like Star Trekand Japanese anime. I have read a lot of books in this genre. I like constructed languages, and I make them myself. I am a hobbyist of LojbanEsperanto, and Interlingua. I tend towards ScienceBuddhism, and Animism. I was born in the Philippines, lived in Japan for a while, and now live in Canada. I am a Heinz 57, being very multiracial. I am a xenophile, as I love strange cultures and languages of strange lands.
My interests span the years. I have been learning about astronomy since I was a child. My dream occupation has been to become an Astrobiologist or Exobiologist, studying life beyond this Earth. My real occupation has been as a Software Writer, as I learned about different artificial languages to manipulate computers. The body is hardware, and the mind is software.
I have varied favourite foods. My favourite ice cream flavours are Tiger Tail, Japanese Black Sesame, Italian Spumoni, Mint, and Philippine Purple Yam. Of fruits, I adore young coconut meat and the tropical rose apple, which is not an apple at all. I like practically all seafood. I like Kaya jam and Bandung rose milk from Southeast Asia. I like varied jelly food, like nata de coco, Jell-O, agar-agar, grass jelly, sago, tapioca, konnyaku, jellyfish, tōfuAloe vera, mung bean jelly, gummy cola bottles, almond jelly, lokum, water chestnut cake, sea cucumber, mushroom, longan, lychee, rambutan, et cetera.
I like many anime shows from Japan. Some of my really creative favourites include Vampire KnightGargantia on the Verdurous PlanetNo. 6Mushi-ShiNaruto ShippūdenKemono no Sōja ErinMoribito: Guardian of the SpiritThe Mystic Archives of DantalianGalaxy Express 999Xam'd: Lost MemoriesFate/ZeroLevel ELa storia della Arcana FamigliaPolar Bear CafeYumeiro PâtissièreGintamaMaoyū Maō YūshaAoi HanaNokto de la Galaksia FervojoMononokeShelterAkiraSirius the JaegerViolet EvergardenAttack on TitanCarole & Tuesdayet cetera.
News items I follow are about space exploration. I like knowing about the new data including pictures from robot probes in outer space and from crewed flights, even better. I marvel over the turbulent cloud storms over Jupiter. The glimmering icy mountains on Pluto's landscape astonish me. The dunes near methane lakes and rivers on Titan bewilder me. As stars and planets are countless as the sand grains on a beach, I opine that it is mathematically improbable that only the Earth would shelter life. May the Force be with you!

Tunisia, Senegal, etc.

My favourite Street View locations recently are French-influenced regions like Tunisia and Senegal, which have real charm.

Bharati English, Wiki

"Indian English is any of the forms of English characteristic of the Indian subcontinent. English has slowly become one of the lingua francas of the Indian subcontinent (including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka), and is the language of the cultural and political elite, offering significant economic, political, and social advantage to fluent speakers.


Though English is one of the two official languages of the Union Government of India, only a few hundred thousand Indians have English as their first language. According to the 2005 India Human Development Survey, of the 41,554 surveyed households reported that 72 percent of men (29,918) did not speak any English, 28 percent (11,635) spoke at least some English, and 5 percent (2,077, roughly 17.9% of those who spoke at least some English) spoke fluent English. Among women, the corresponding percentages were 83 percent (34,489) speaking no English, 17 percent (7,064) speaking at least some English, and 3 percent (1,246, roughly 17.6% of those who spoke at least some English) speaking English fluently. According to statistics of District Information System for Education (DISE) of National University of Educational Planning and Administration under Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, enrollment in English-medium schools increased by 50% between 2008–09 and 2013–14. The number of English-medium school students in India increased from over 1.5 crore (15 million) in 2008–09 to 2.9 crore (29 million) by 2013–14. In December 2015, the Supreme Court of India ruled that English is the only court language."

Death Motivation

For many, their death motivation is about termination, utterly.  However, for me, death will involve travelling.

Year 7000, Star Trek on Punjabi Radio

On local Punjabi radio I overheard today at Pizza Hut here on Lulu Island, the lady announcer said Star Trek is “the year 7000.”
