Scuba Diving Balicasag Island with SeaQuest Dive Center
(June 15, 2017) Since my Dumaguete days in 2008, I was already hearing about the great dives in Balicasag Island - the pencil-shaped coral reef sticking out from the ocean floor and onto the surface. Now, I'm actually doing a dive here!....more »»
Bohol Revisited
(June 12, 2017) Feeling like I've over-extended my stay in Cebu City, it was time to pack-up again and hit the open road. Exploring Bohol excited me more than anywhere else in the country. That's all I needed - the feeling of excitement. That's how my universe talks to me - and it has never been wrong. Bohol it is!....more »»

Palm Grass Hotel Food Tasting
(June 10, 2017) I made a web-pitch for a hotel ad campaign to Palm Grass Hotel. Instead, I received an invite to participate in their food tasting event which will grace their up-and-coming new menu. If I can't have a roof over my head, at least I'll have good food in my belly...more »»
Qube Gallery's Ako si Sabel / Balay-Balay Art Exhibit
(June 8, 2017) I like Qube Gallery. Whenever in Cebu and there's an exhibition, I make it a point to be there. I'm lucky this time with a double feature. Is it the art? Not as much as meeting new people in the art scene. Yeah, flowing wine helps too...more »»
Ambushed by SM Seaside

Cebu Living
(May 4-31, 2017) It never fails. Even though Cebu remains largely unchanged with the exception of its increasingly crippling traffic, the energies are as dynamic as it gets. Cebu offers a different flavor and experience with every visit.....more »»
Conducting Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation Classes in Cebu
(May 26, 2017) It is not usual for studio offerings to include pranayama and meditation into a yoga asana class. But having benefited so much from my private practice where I integrate pranayama and meditation, I can only conduct a yoga class now with all three elements bundled together as a singularity. I find synergy in it...more »»

Downhill Riding with Cebu MTB Adventure
(May 13, 2017) It's been ages since I was on the saddle. With Cebu MTB Adventure tagging me to come along for a downhill riding tour, I was curious how it could be different from my experience as a cross-country rider. With my new hardtail, I wondered if I still had the juice...more »»

A Life of Suffering? I Disagree(Apr 24, 2017) Buddha claims that all life is suffering caused by selfish craving and personal desire. Christianity claims that we are born into suffering with Original Sin from Adam and Eve. Islam says suffering is built into the fabric of existence so that Allah may see who is truly righteous. In Judaism, suffering was thought to be the ultimate form of divine purification leading to unio mystica. I ponder. Why should life default to suffering? I have a limited mind, limited thinking and a limited life experience - but I disagree.....more »»
