"Choosing between Marvel and DC Comics is a big step for new readers... Each has its own way of showing heroism, making it easier to find what you like."

Are you Team Marvel's human flaws or Team DC's mythic gods? 🗺️🕸️⚡

I just uploaded a fresh feature to the blog celebrating the incredible legacy of Superheroes & Action Comics in the United States. We’re tracing the journey from the Golden Age origins right up to the massive cinematic universes and digital platform shifts shaking up the industry today.

It's a love letter to the local shops, the graphic novels pushing literary boundaries, and the community of fans keeping the culture alive.

Discovering Sea & Slopes: The "Small but Terrible" Hidden Gem of Carmen, Cebu 🌊🇵🇭✨

When you think of Carmen in northern Cebu, your mind probably jumps straight to the massive terrains of the Cebu Safari. But if you take a quick detour toward the coast, there’s a rising private sanctuary that proves a beach resort doesn't need a huge property footprint to serve up ultimate summer vibes.

Enter Sea & Slopes Beach Resort—a spot that perfectly embodies the phrase "small but terrible." It’s the ultimate cozy, budget-friendly hideaway for team buildings, exclusive barkada outers, or family reunions where you just want the whole place to yourself.

In my latest blog feature, I’m breaking down why this intimate slice of paradise hits the absolute sweet spot for DIY travelers. Think:

Fully equipped kitchens for an epic boodle fight 🦐🔥

Karaoke setup ready for your inner diva 🎤 (until the 10 PM neighborhood curfew!)

Sparkling pool sloping down to 5ft for perfect midnight swims under the stars ✨🏊‍♂️

Outstanding hospitality from Kuya, the on-site caretaker who will even help you set up a beachside bonfire 🔥🪵

It is pure sulit (worth every single Peso) energy. Read the full travel journal, check out the amenities breakdown, and plan your next road trip over on Geek Grove!

Movie Review: I Am David (2003) 🎬✨

If you're in the mood for a hidden gem that will completely pull at your heartstrings, you need to add I Am David to your watchlist.

Based on Anne Holm's classic novel North to Freedom, the film follows 12-year-old David (played with such raw gravity by Ben Tibber) as he makes a daring escape from a 1950s Bulgarian labor camp. Armed with nothing but a compass, a piece of bread, and a sealed letter he must deliver to Denmark, he steps into an outside world he knows absolutely nothing about.

What makes this movie so touching isn't just the physical survival—it's David’s emotional journey. He's a boy who was taught to "trust no one," who doesn't even understand the concept of a smile. Watching him slowly let his guard down through the kindness of strangers (including a wonderful performance by Jim Caviezel as his camp mentor, Johannes, and Joan Plowright as a gentle Swiss artist) is beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.

It’s an incredible story about resilience, finding hope in a broken world, and the sheer power of human kindness.

The Library of Lost Souls 📖✨

What happens to the stories that are left unfinished?

Meet Charlotte, a woman whose love for books goes beyond a passion—it’s her entire world. But when an old town rumor leads her to a hidden, crumbling building at the edge of town, she discovers something far beyond mere ink and paper. A library where the spines bear names instead of titles, and the pages hold the trapped souls of those who passed away with their stories left untold.

To help a forgotten writer find peace, Charlotte must do the unthinkable: step inside his world and write his ending for him. But the deeper she goes, the more the lines between reality and the story begin to blur...

If you love cozy mysteries, magical realism, and stories about the haunting power of words, check out my latest short story over on the blog!
