Today is Teachers' Day and I had to run some errands at home. A busy day. A lot of walking and traveling, call it a roadtrip for the most part. It was a very sunny Friday This report was published via

Locally, we call it Bugnay. It’s been around 25 years since I last had one! They used to sell it outside our school gate when I was in first grade (I’ve been dropping hints about my age here). I’ve always

Sandok, here in our hometown, is more than just a large spoon used for cooking. Sure, it's a ladle, or even a verb meani

Google Maps gave me a walking length of 34 minutes from the chicken wings place back to the mall near home. I wanted to see how accurate these estimates are and so I had this spur-of-the-moment decision

It's not your ordinary rainy day. The entire Visayas is under the spell of the Southwest monsoon, just right after the
