Where The Day Meets the Bay
Abstract This visual research article examines a personal photographic record of sunsets observed across Tagoloan and Cagayan de Oro in Misamis Oriental. The collection was assembled during the author’s first year in the province after arriving on 13 December 2025 for an assignment as a Consultant Document Controller on a major infrastructure project. Using repeated, place-based observation and visual description, the article considers how sunset changes the perception of six environments: Paco Beach in Barangay Gracia, Poblacion in Tagoloan, the Mindanao Container Terminal area, Puerto, the Cagayan de Oro Coastal Road, and Malaiba in Barangay Casinglot. The images reveal a recurring relationship among sky, water, industry, settlement, and movement. Rather than presenting a controlled atmospheric-science study, the work is framed as reflective visual inquiry: a documented encounter with place, supported by geographic and coastal context. The central finding is that sunset is not merely a scenic background. It becomes a daily lens through which working landscapes, shorelines, roads, and communities can be seen as one connected regional environment.

Chasing Rainbows
If you’re forced, and how utterly terrible must it be if you’re forced to take only a 24 hour vacation, the only choice is to chase rainbows in Dublin, that lynchpin of the Emerald Isle with some of the cheapest flights from Chicago to Europe. As it’s been sung, you can go around the world, from Antarctica to Katmandu, and find an Irish pub—a place you’ll be welcomed with a kind smile and a cold pint. If you’re lucky, you might even get some fiddle, and if you’re really lucky they’ll be some black pudding (okay that one is personal taste).

Twenty-Four Hours in Arlington, Texas. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
They say that everything is bigger in Texas. That saying is still true and holds up today. For those that aren't familiar of who I am, I grew up in Arlington, which is west of Dallas. I've always spoke very fondly of where I came from and the things I loved the most about it. In the town of nearly 400,000 residents, growing up in a large city meant that places were easy to find. Arlington is the home of two professional sports teams: Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers and the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys. Their respective stadiums are basically located close to each other. I've been a fan of both teams for decades and continue to support them, win or lose. Back in February, I took a vacation to my hometown for the first time in nearly 15 years. It was an overdue homecoming for me and spent two days down there. On the second and last day of my trip, I took part in a premium stadium tour of Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers, with a group of people. It was my first time visiting this enormous ballpark. The tour lasted for an hour and a half and for the final half hour, we were led by a tour guide to the field. Kids had an opportunity to play catch, while I admired the field. Stepping foot on an MLB field was a first for me and knocked that item off my bucket list, and yes, I took pictures of the field. Since then, I've gone back home for the second time for Memorial Day weekend, spending three days there. The following is a list of things I would do in Arlington for 24 hours.
