As a worship leader, I have specific requirements for an acoustic guitar. One, it must sound great; two, it must play well; and three, it must be a snap to use – no fussy setups or a lot of additional gadgets just to make it sound decent. As a family man who needs to carry [...]
In my last fun run I decided to ditch my Vibram Fivefingers (VFFs) and run the entire 5 kilometer distance completely barefoot. The route was on concrete road so I felt confident that I wouldn’t hurt my feet, but it is not something I would be able to do on a regular basis since I [...]
The people of Davao City are hailing Mayor Sara Duterte as a hero for standing up for them — and rightly so. She was not afraid to go to the extreme of hitting a sheriff who had made the mistake of implementing a demolition order without heeding her request to hold it in abeyance for [...]
“I thought it would be noisy, but it’s surprisingly quiet up here,” I told my wife as we floated up and away from a speedboat and into the Lapu-Lapu City skies. Parasailing over the city’s hustle and bustle, we marvelled at how peaceful it was hundreds of feet in the air – quite different from [...]

I’ve been running exclusively in my VFF KSOs for six months now, but last week, thanks to my cousin Arjun, I found myself in possession of a pair of Chaski sport sandals made by Japan-based Columbia Sportswear Company. I had already been eying these babies since last year but never got around to buying them, [...]
George Tujan wears many hats. The co-founder of technology startup Neuraltech Innovations is an IT consultant, a gifted guitarist, a devoted family man, and a barefoot runner.
Did you know that every blog that attracts 15,000 hits per month generates on average around 3.5kg of carbon every year? This information is from Stock Displays, a supplier of frames and boards and light boxes and stuff like that that oddly enough is also doing a program to reduce the carbon footprints of bloggers.
July 20, 2010 was a significant date because it marked my 20th year of living in Davao City. Almost half of my life has been spent in a land that adopted me as its own; Davao has been good to me even though I, like many other Manileños, had pretty bad preconceptions about it. In [...]
