Where the Water Remembers: Returning to Sagpulon Falls Eight Months Later
Some places impress us immediately. Others become meaningful only after we return. For me, Sagpulon Falls became both. I first visited the waterfall on February 17, 2026, together with colleagues. It was Chinese New Year, and because we had no work that day, the holiday gave us an opportunity to leave our usual routine behind and explore another corner of Misamis Oriental.

The Tiger Did Nothing Wrong. A Man Is Dead. The Internet Can’t Agree on What That Means.
On Sunday morning at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the car park was empty. The turnstiles were dark. The gift shop shutter was down. Wind moved across the grass and lifted a few wet leaflets. The leaflets showed Altai, a Siberian tiger, paler than most visitors remembered. He lay on his side, front paws on a piece of wood, eyes half-closed. He looked like a cat enlarged a hundred times.

Nemuro: The Japanese Port Living in the Shadow of a Disputed Past
On a clear morning in Nemuro, the disputed islands can appear faintly beyond the water. The view is part of everyday life in this remote fishing town at the eastern edge of Hokkaido. Nemuro has about 22,000 residents, roughly half the population it had at its peak in the 1960s. Its winters are long and cold. Red spiny king crabs are stacked around the harbor. Fading signs in Japanese, Russian and English hang near the docks. On some days, when the air is clear, the islands claimed by both Japan and Russia can be seen in the distance.

World Cup Travelers Have a New Appreciation for American Culture
As someone who has little to no interest in sports, my favorite part of the World Cup hasn’t been the matches, it has been the overwhelming amount of videos that I am seeing of people enjoying America. Specifically, my TikTok feed has been flooded with international visitors experiencing day-to-day American life for the very first time. There are so many baseline attributes of our culture that we completely take for granted, and it is incredibly lovely to see newcomers having such a wonderful time. This is a collection of TikToks that have come across my feed of some prominent categories of things that have been popular.

Fun Times at Globe Life Field: Part 2
Last month, I took a trip to my hometown of Arlington, Texas. It was the first time in nearly 15 years I've been back to the place that I grew up. During the two days I was there, I did some sight-seeing and was highly impressed with how much has changed the last time I was there, which was 2011. On the last day of my trip, I took part in a premium stadium tour at Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers. It was my first time there and was with a small group of people on the tour. I've discussed the things I've seen during the hour and a half tour in my previous story, which you can read down below. After the tour concluded, I went outside and took even more snapshots. I'll go over some of the images, individually and in collage form.

Fun Times at Globe Life Field
Before the 2025 calendar year concluded, one of my goals for 2026 was to travel more. Most recently, I did just that. In my previous story about going on vacation to my hometown of Arlington, Texas, I discussed taking part in a stadium tour at Globe Life Field. I loved every minute of it and everyone who was part of the tour were excellent. In this story, I'll give my opinions about what I thought about GLF.
