Okay, as a child living in the 21st century, I am exposed to various external stimuli, various forms of entertainment, but the subject that interests me the most is espionage, a.k.a. Spies. From "Spy Kids" to Black Widow, everything about it interests me.
Okay, as a child living in the 21st century, I am exposed to various external stimuli, various forms of entertainment, but the subject that interests me the most is espionage, a.k.a. Spies. From "Spy Kids" to Black Widow, everything about it interests me.
As a small child, I took various classes, from swimming lessons to karate. Contrast to what my mother has said, I was never a "spoiled brat", I just recall my mother promising to buy me everything I wanted if I went with her to Qatar. Being able to recognize a good deal even at a young age, I couldn't pass up that deal. Not my fault I was a victim of false advertising. Anyway, back on track, espionage. Spies have to have various skills, resourcefulness, among other things. When I was little, I had a friend who wanted to be an assasin (let's hope he's over that). Assasins are sort of like specialist spies trained to kill discreetly. Of course, in today's mainstream society, no death happens in "discreet".
Spies have to be well-educated, resourceful and experts in hand-to-hand combat (just in case such an occation arises). I have a conspiracy that spies STILL exist, just in secret, just as they should. I'm not the usual kind of blogger, who just copy+paste stuff to their articles, but I want you all to know more about espionage so here's a link:

;P
I also love espionage movies. This reminds me of James Bond's movie last night. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteNow that you've mentioned it, I remembered Mr and Mrs Smith. :)
Deletenow i know what espionage is.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea what espionage is, my son just posted it here without letting me read his topic.He just gave me the laptop after he posted it. I hope he'll blog more this summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteIt's a well written piece. I guess with all those shows with covert missions and heartbeat-stopping suspense, people want to live like spies or at least have a vision of living as one.
ReplyDeletethank you for the compliment and he wrote this in 5-10 minutes only.
Deletewhat a smart boy! how old is he? .. and I do agree, spies need to be intelligent, witty and smart to be able to one!.. just like your son! kudos!!
ReplyDeletethank you. he is only 13 years old and will be in 10th grade next school year.

DeleteHehe.. honestly have no idea about espionage until I read this..hehe. The picture is interests catching too! Good job!
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested in espionage, you can always apply as a mystery shopper. ;) They spy on restaurants and stores. They report to the company based on their observations. They should never get caught spying!
ReplyDeleteIt's like espionage in real life, without the risk of getting shot!
Your boy is good enough to start his own blog, make him one :). The first time I heard of espionage is from the show Alias.
ReplyDeletemay site siyang sarili ,he started when he was 11 years old ,andun yung link sa name nya at nasa page nitong site "My Life" ang title
DeleteI like the same type of movies too. 007, The A-Team (tv series back then), McGyver and the like are some of them that tune into back in the days. And yes, it is great to know that you can also apply espionage in the domain of blogging.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I heard of this word, until I read this! Well I really should need to read a book. XD
ReplyDeleteI love ninja or spy movies! Especially if the main cast is a woman like Tomb Raider, Aeonflux. I don't know if Tomb Raider is a ninja or spy movie. But I feel it is. :D
Clicked G+!
Awww I love how he writes, there's humor in it and that's always interesting to read. I like watching movies in this genre too and even novels, reading it is more fun for me. Espionage is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteme too, i like his way of writing.I just hope he will keep writing for my blog.
DeleteHaha I wanted to be an assassin too after watching those types of movies. After a few days, move on. Haha. Great post =))

DeleteStalker in layman's term do exist. :)
ReplyDeleteI got trolled on the last part. lelz. Funny!
ReplyDeleteI'm also interested on espionage! And like most people (who commented above), I like spy films too! My favorites are My Girlfriend is an Agent (Korean) and yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
But espionage just goes second on my list because I love mystery and all that detective ala Sherlock Holmes stuff. In the irony, I'm also interested on heists movies. :-)
speaking of troll ,when my son was about to post it. I told him to put the picture on top(I did not know yet it is a troll , I just found out in one of the comments here. He said ,it should be at the last part, which I did not understand. Now, i know his purpose, he want to troll the readers.
Deletewaah victim of false advertising, great writing kid please do keep posted, I wanted to read more of your post
ReplyDeletehahaha,up to now ,he still remember those words. It happened 5 years ago.I had to tricked him just to get him from Philippines or else.But I do Keep my promises, we buy him whatever he wants if we can afford it.
Deletetook me awhile to figure out that this is a guest post by your 13 year old kid since espionage is a serious topic even in law school. i'm glad he thinks like that at this age. smart kid!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I love espionage...and I bet your son talks exactly the way he writes, like an American kid...hahaha

ReplyDeleteI'm a great spy, especially spying on my husband if he's doing something fishy, lol...
ReplyDeletelove the thrills and how clever the spies in a movie... and how gorgeous they look, and their gadgets and stuff... wow. but i wouldn't like to be in their shoes... sad and dangerous life. Yahweh bless.
