April 1, 2026 by Aiden KenzyLeave a Comment

Bagsit River in Mt. Tapulao

There is a specific sound that haunts every hiker who has set foot in Palauig, Zambales. It isn’t the howling wind of the Cordilleras or the rushing water of a river trek.

Tapulao, the "High Peak" of the Zambales Mountain Range. Standing at 2,037 meters … [Read more...]

It measures pregnanediol glucuronide (PDG), a marker of progesterone production, giving insight into the luteal phase of the cycle. This test is simple and can be done at home, removing the need for frequent clinic visits. By … [Read more...]

7 Van Essentials: What to Know Before Your First Van Trip

December 29, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Road trips are the ultimate freedom in lifestyle; when I go on a road trip, I have a rough idea of my geographical coverage, but I leave the trip mostly unscripted and unplanned letting the journey unfold as circumstances dictate. Some of my favorite road trips are to California's Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, winding my way south into the desert, especially Death Valley and the Mojave. The silence, the stillness and the remoteness of … [Read more...]
