Mt. Mariglem DIY Guide: 2026 Itinerary & Budget (Zambales)

March 15, 2026 by Aiden KenzyLeave a Comment

Mt. Mariglem

Mt. Mariglem in Cabangan, Zambales is a 573 MASL minor peak famous for its "Ridge-to-River" trail. While often labeled "beginner-friendly" due to its short 2–3 hour ascent, the open trail exposes hikers to extreme heat (Heat Index >40°C), making it a High-Intensity Short-Duration (HISD) challenge. The reward is a refreshing descent into the emerald waters of the Maligha and Agbobotilya Rivers. If I had to describe Mt. Mariglem in one … [Read more...]

Chinese Fashion: As Obscene and Perplexing as Ever

March 5, 2026 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: “Horrendous” also applies here, but I didn’t want to oversaturate the headline with adjectives. (Tucker Carlson’s “more verbs, less adjectives” mantra is the best writing advice perhaps ever dispensed.) Often, in East and Southeast Asia, picking out the Chinese based on purely physical features is more of an art than a science.

Which business class seats are the best?

February 28, 2026 by John KolberLeave a Comment

Airlines across the globe have been improving their business class experience. Whilst this covers everything, from check-in to lounges, and then the planes themselves, the biggest improvement can be found in the seats themselves.

Seats have become suites, complete with walls, and drinks cabinets, large TVs and massage … [Read more...]
