Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort in Calatagan Batangas, Philippines
We traveled from Manila to Calatagan, Batangas, on December 23, 2023, to visit their lovely beach. Our major goal is to visit a public beach; unfortunately, I believe that practically all of the beaches in Calatagan are privately owned. We decided to visit the Stilt Calatagan Beach Resort when we got to Calatagan because we didn't know where else to go. Our driving experience has been poor; when we get to Santo Tomas, Waze directs us to a road that is both narrow and winding around the mountainside.

Four Stunning Locations I Explored in Tanay Rizal Province, Philippines
On December 10, 2023, my project manager, one operation engineer, and one driver decided to explore Tanay Rizal's beauty and wildlife. Our project manager was picked up first in Eastwood City from the driver's lodging, and we were picked up second in Mirea Residences in Amang Rodriguez Santolan, Pasig City. We went at 7 a.m. for Tanay Rizal. Our first goal was to visit the Masungi Georeserve, but we were unable to do so since they require advance registration or reservations before you can enter, and walk-ins are not permitted. So we decided to continue our journey, but first we stopped for a coffee at Big C Delicafe.

Everyone Is Tired of Christmas Stories, Nevertheless I Share This Sweet Moment From Bali. Top Story - January 2024.
Christmas is exceedingly different living in a country outside the States. For me, it translates to unembellished, meaningful introspection sans the massive commercialism that commences on day one post-Halloween.

Religion & Politics
Prologue Circa 16 years ago, I embarked on my first Armed Forces Entertainment tour. AFE, a subset of the ARMY’s “Moral, Welfare, and Recreation” network, is analogous to yesteryear’s USO. GIs, deployed to perilous Hoth, Dagobah, and Tatooine-like posts for what feels like a Game of Thrones winter to them, are particularly prone to boredom, depression, and suicide. As a countermeasure, AFE books comedians, country musicians, MMA exhibitions, et al, to enliven their spirits.
