Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! This year broke my tradition of visiting multiple churches, but I was able to visit a special one on this festive day—Antipolo Cathedral, also known as the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Antipolo Cathedral, March 31, 2024. May those who celebrate it have a great Easter Sunday!

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…

Happy Holidays!

We are counting down the days until another trip around the sun is completed!  I still can’t believe that 2023 is almost over—I still feel like it’s just the middle of the year.  Nonetheless, for those who are missing the Christmas season here in the Philippines and for those who are outside Metro Manila, here’s a glimpse of this year’s Festival of Lights at the Ayala Triangle Gardens. Happy…

Quince

I admit I almost forgot, but didn’t have the time to write a blog post for this site’s fourteenth anniversary until now. Here’s a look back of what had happened to me personally for the past year—most of which unpublished in this blog. A year ago, I was in mourning from the recent passing of my mother. It was devastating for me and I didn’t really know how to go on. It was all the paperworks…

Golden Gate Bridge On Foot

After wanting for so long, I finally had the unexpected chance to cross the Golden Gate Bridge on foot! View of the bridge from where we started. I have been to San Francisco several times but always, due to time constraints, never crossed the Golden Gate Bridge on foot. The runner the within me had always dreamt about it since first time I saw it many years ago. Adding to the frustration was…

Savor – Elyu Chronicles (Part 3)

Three days is too long when you’re in a bad company, but too short when you are enjoying yourself. On our final day in La Union, we just savored our last moments with food and enjoying the waters. The beaches of La Union that seems to go on indefinitely… I got up early on our last day (as I did the day prior) to again do one of my favorite things on the beach—run!  As always, I was running…

OOO

For the first time in this blog’s existence, I’m officially setting my status to “OOO” (Out-of-office) as I enjoy the summer season elsewhere, without my personal laptop. Thus, I may not be able to respond to your messages or requests in a timely manner. For sure I have a lot of stories to tell when I get back to business. Until then, stay safe!

Fitbit Going Google

Fitbit was acquired by Google in 2021 but has remained out of sight—until now. And they’re coming for your Fitbit account! Since the acquisition, I’ve actually waited for some “Google magic” to improve the Fitbit ecosystem, but until recently, Google never made themselves felt and left Fitbit as it was—at least from my perspective as a consumer. It was only until recently when my Fitbit app…

Explore – Elyu Chronicles (Part 2)

Exploration was the theme of our second day as we visit the sights of San Juan as well as the nearby city of San Fernando, the provincial capital.  And I woke up early that day to visit a unique oddity… There’s just so much beach here that my ultramarathoner younger self would’ve been ecstatic at this sight! First on my agenda for the day was a structure called Mebuyan’s Vessel.  I honestly…

Try – Elyu Chronicles (Part 1)

It was one of those sparks of the moment when we decided to go to La Union (colloquially known as “Elyu”) without too much planning—no hotels, no itinerary, just go!  At the back of my mind, it was a recipe for a disaster, so I can’t say things didn’t go as planned. We didn’t really go without a plan as we really tried to put a decent itinerary, but it’s quite a challenge when you know nothing…

Hi, AI!

Unless you’ve been offline for a long time, you probably heard about AI.  You probably have been using them without realizing it with your social media app.  For me as a content creator, one of the most promising tools is image creation.  Here’s my experience with DALL·E. As a Windows user, I’ve been receiving a lot of push from Microsoft about using Bing, especially since their incorporated AI…
