Learning Cebuano: July
(July 1-31, 2024) My last Cebuano lesson was still in October, 9 months ago in Siquijor. I'd been living now in Tagbilaran, still the Visayas, since March. This is another vain attempt to learn Bisaya...more »»
Kitchen Hacks: Wheat Loaf, Rosti, Pancit Canton, Pizza, Fruit Breakfast

Movie Review: The Matrix (1999)

(July 6, 2024) Mehul, a BCBP member, invited me one more time to give an inspirational talk about yoga to a group of 35 students ranging 10-25 year olds. I thought about telling something they didn't expect - they don't need yoga!...more »»
Bohol Gothic Wine Label
(July 5, 2024) The iconic painting, American Gothic, has been a staple for me when it comes to creating personalized wine labels for a select few. For Kat's parent's 46th wedding anniversary in Bohol, I defaulted to my old classic....more »»
