I am migrating this month with no return date yet.  This is one of the biggest changes of my life!  While I’m looking forward to it, I also have some…

Refresh

For the first time in years, I finally had the time to make some updates on this blog. I had a bit of encouragement from a software I was tinkering with and before you know it, I came up with a new logo. I thought having a plain background for the logo was boring so I added one. The new logo was inspired by my favorite place to run—the beach. As I’ve not been running long nor consistently,…

Baler: More Than Surfing

Of all the places in the Philippines I visited in 2023, Baler was one of the places I know very little about, but glad to have went to.  Here’s the story of our adventures… Baler is not that far Metro Manila (about 280 kilometers away) but getting there felt like going to a much further place.  Driving takes around 6 hours, majority of which into small local roads, with a significant part over…
