The Supermoon

About Supermoon

Two days ago, when I noticed that the moon had extraordinary brilliance, and just today, I accidentally saw a Supermoon article online. So I searched, and here's what I found on Wikipedia. A Supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. According to NASA: "When a full moon makes its closest pass to Earth in its orbit, it appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter, making it a supermoon." The next Beaver Supermoon that's this close and full will be on Nov. 25, 2034.

Thank You for the Greetings and Support!

Special Thanks

November 2015, I celebrated my birthday on the summit of Mt. Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines. It was the most unforgettable adventure in my twenty something years of existence. I am still aiming for more! More travel for the next few years. Sa lahat ng mga bumati ngayong araw ng aking kapanganak, sa aking pamilya, sa aking mga kaibigan, sa mga taong walang humpay ang pagsuporta – MARAMING SALAMAT PO! Pipilitin kong magampanan ang mga tungkuling nakaatang sa aking mga balikat para sa ikauunlad ng ating sambayanan.

Hiking Mt. Apo - Day 3 Photo Compilation

Hiking to the summit of Mt. Apo - it was the longest night I've ever had. When I woke up around 1 AM, I did not fall asleep for some reason. The wind was strong, and as it penetrated the fabric of the tent and hit my skin, it was like a knife that cuts because of its temperature. We were also bothered by the bad weather that might affect our ascent to the summit.

Hiking Mt. Apo - The Sulfur Vents

About Sulfur Vents

The sulfur vents of Mt. Apo are one of its most striking natural features, emitting steam and a distinct smell as hikers approach the summit. These vents, found along the rocky sections of the trail, reveal the mountain's volcanic origins and offer a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere. Surrounded by yellow-stained rocks and rising mist, the area showcases the raw geothermal power beneath the surface. Trekkers often pause here to marvel at nature’s intensity and snap dramatic photos. It's a thrilling reminder of the mountain's living, breathing presence.

Street Style Originals - Best Cap in the Philippines

About SSO

Aside from mountains, historical and heritage sites are also part of my blog posts. I believe that we can’t reach our stage today without the richness of the past. In this modern generation, it’s hard to promote history and how we can preserve it; simple things like cap designs can make a difference. When I saw the Supremo cap online, distributed by Street Style Originals, I was thinking that it could create a huge impact on the youth.

82 Provinces ng Pilipinas Muna Bago Pag-aasawa

Tumawag ako sa aking Minamahal na Ina na kasalukuyang nasa Romblon. Napag-usapan namin ang iba’t-ibang mga bagay tungkol sa aming pamilya ngunit bago matapos ang aming usapan at mag-goodbye, isang tanong ang kanyang nabitawan para sa akin: “kailan ka mag-aasawa? Dapat mag-asawa kana!” Pagkarinig ko sa kanyang tanong, agad akong natahimik at napa-isip, “oo nga naman, malapit na akong lumagpas sa numero ng isang buwan sa kalendaryo, dapat mag-isip na ako to settle.”
