Philippines. A Travel Log.

Image
It had been about 15 years since I last stepped foot in the land of adobo and tinikling (and Moros). When I booked our family tickets, Yulia and I had very different ideas of what this vacation was going to be about. Yulia wanted a week long R&R on a beach, tanning and paddleboarding. I wanted something more, I wanted to reconnect and reinvigorate the Filipino inside me. I wanted to reconcile my Filipino identity with my Canadian identity.

As I write this, the world is on the brink of an AI revolution. It feels like we're on the verge of achieving AGI, that's the promise anyway. I started this blog a little over 10 years ago to track my thoughts on the impending technological advance we were being pushed through. Things have changed for me personally as well, I've completed my BRICS run, got married, and got a kid.
