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.

Sailing Through History - Australia Day's Origins & Why a Cruise Makes the Perfect Celebration
Australia Day, also the nation's official holiday, commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788. The massive historic event that laid the foundation for the nation we all know today. Hence, it holds a special place in the hearts of Australians, bringing an important sense of belonging towards the rich Aussie culture. While Australians celebrate this day in various ways, one of the most unique and stylish methods is by setting sail on Australia Day harbour cruises in Sydney.

Our Trip to Rome - 2
We are staying at a really nice Bed & Breakfast in Rome, near the world-famous Coliseum and Termini - Rome's main railway station. They call it El Dorado Colleseum Hotel. It is located on the second floor of a big building that judging from its architecture and design used to be a 6-story wealthy family palazzo. It has high ceilings, a grand entrance and a big spiral staircase in the middle, with an obviously later addition of an old elevator that has a wooden bench and a set of double doors, with the inside wooden doors that must be open and closed manually. I have seen such elevators in some old New York City buildings, and they are most probably of the turn of the 20th century or early 1910s.

Airport Chronicles of a Check-in Agent
In the dimly lit terminal of an international airport, weary travelers shuffled toward the economy class check-in counters, anticipation and exhaustion etched on their faces. Among them was Martin Caldwell, a middle-aged man with a penchant for luxury but a wallet that disagreed.

Our Trip to Rome
Every winter, my son and I travel around Christmas to warmer places. We both have long winter breaks as I teach and he is a student in academia, so we reward ourselves with a trip abroad. We've been to Brazil in 2019, Peru in 2021, and France last year. And this year, we decided to go to Rome.
