Visiting Lake Sebu in Mindanao, Philippines
My family is from Sultan Kudarat in Mindanao, Philippines. To be honest, there’s really not much do besides stare at the corn fields.

Photologue: Brooklyn Bridge Park
This year is the 12th Valentine Mark and I spent together. While I’m all for reasonable materialism on special occasions, this year we decided to be different.

Skiing: Fun Activity in Winter
Our 8-month trip in Asia and Europe last year was spent mostly in cities with warmer temperatures. When we came back to New York, winter sneaked by quickly. While I’m not a big fan of cold weather, there are activities that make it more enjoyable like sledding in Central Park or driving outside New York [...]
