The Topnotcher Continue reading Shoe Review: World…

Microsoft has yet again let me down.  Images from old blogs no longer load.  I guess my hunch of using OneDrive as the host of my images being a bad idea was right. Photo by L A on Pexels.com I used the free account when I started this blog so I was very cautious of the limited storage available.  That lead me in the search of a host for my blog images.  So far, it was OneDrive by Microsoft…

Tuesday, July 09, 2024.  I stepped out of our company’s office building for the last time.  This closes a huge chapter of my life spanning over 10 years.  And in a few days’ time, I’ll be boarding a flight to the other side of the world—one way. I am migrating this month with no return date yet.  This is one of the biggest changes of my life!  While I’m looking forward to it, I also have some…

I had a bit of encouragement from a software I was tinkering with and before you know it, I came up with a new logo. I thought having a plain background for the logo was boring so I added one. The new logo was inspired by my favorite place to run—the beach. As I’ve not been running long nor consistently,…

Of all the places in the Philippines I visited in 2023, Baler was one of the places I know very little about, but glad to have went to.  Here’s the story of our adventures… Baler is not that far Metro Manila (about 280 kilometers away) but getting there felt like going to a much further place.  Driving takes around 6 hours, majority of which into small local roads, with a significant part over…
