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.

Devil is a part timer
The premise is that the devil comes to Earth from below and arrives as a teenager working at a fast-food restaurant. “Devil is a Part-Timer” is one of my favorite anime series, and I recently discovered anime, and this is one of those shows that I stumbled upon and got really into.

My Experience Attending a Texas Rangers Game at Globe Life Field
Two years ago, I wrote a story about what a Texas Rangers game was like at The Ballpark in Arlington. I'll have the link to that story in the link below, but the aforementioned story was my 250th I've written and published on Vocal. The Rangers now former home is now known as Choctaw Stadium.

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).

One day in heaven
The above shot was taken on my birthday, treating myself to a Cornish cream tea in the most southerly café in England. Although I have been there for the last 30 years, at least once a year, I would always go back. When I drive down to the tiny carpark the deep blue water appears, with added rocks, birds and a few seals. I used to park at the main car park but health makes it difficult due to the steep paths.

Dollywood's Mine Horror
As someone who grew up constantly visiting Dollywood park while everyone else went to Disney and Universal, I saw all the rides coming in and out of the area for years. Love it there, but the one disappointment I have is the park not having a Halloween like Universal or Six Flags, only a fall festival. They are a place that doesn't advertise to only children like Disney, so I don't personally understand why they don't have haunted house attractions and set ups there.

A Birthday and Anniversary Getaway to Park City, Kentucky
Some trips surprise you in the best ways, and our recent four-day visit to Park City, Kentucky, was one of those trips. We went there to visit Mammoth Cave and explore the area, but we found so much more than we expected. We discovered a tiny town filled with history, amazing food, wonderful people, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy our time away.

Based off the experience, here are some destinations I would highly recommend visiting there:
