Masungi Georeserve Hits

8:59 PM
The Masungi Georeserve is a conservation site located in Rizal, Philippines. If there's one thing our group would take away from our trip is that pictures cannot truly justify the beauty of the Masungi Georeserve.  Our group made minimal preparations for the trip hence we were left unprepared for some less than ideal situations that happened during the course of our visit.

I: The Road to Clarity

10:47 PM
From the time we began the process of building up our research paper, I always had this general topic in mind: water training. I bumped into this topic in an article I saw online, which says that an elite cross country runner uses underwater training as a regimen for success in her career. During that time, I didn’t bother to read and understand...
