Spending A Day with the Schoolchildren of Pawak Elementary School

Pawak Elementary School is the home of 98 aspiring young students (52 girls and 46 boys) ranging from Kindergarten to Grade VI.

As most of these children come from a family who rely on the farm and livestock, they go to a great length just to attend elementary education, helping their parents tend their livestock before walking miles of dirt and treacherous trails to reach the school ground.

Because of its remote location, the school does not usually get the government funding and attention it deserve. It relies mainly on the kindness and generosity of outreach programs. "Chalkboard" was one of those program.

In October 2016, a Crowdfunding program called "Chalkboard" was launched, the goal was to raise enough funds for basic essentials- backpacks, raincoats, notebooks, pens and snacks. In less than a week, through Social Media, generous donors answered the call, raising $600 in total.

Our Journey to the San Diego Beach & Bay Half Marathon

Week 7: The Last Long Run—No Wind, No Worries, Just Will The sunrise painted the sky at 6:30am, but we didn’t rush. We savored the quiet morning before stepping into our final training run—12 kilometers, a route that’s become muscle memory: Crown Point to De Anza Cove, Mission Bay, SeaWorld, and back. It was still, almost too still. No sea breeze, no cooling wind. Just the soft rhythm of our feet and the hum of anticipation. I felt flat-footed today—each step heavier than the last—wrapped in my usual gear like a well-padded veteran. Meanwhile, Michelle moved effortlessly, light on her feet, gliding like the breeze we didn’t have. We wrapped it up at Yipao Coffee, our ritual celebration—cappuccino for me, iced oat milk latte for her. Next week is the big one. The San Diego Beach & Bay Half Marathon. No more countdowns. Just the start line ahead. Week 6: Pushing Limits, Fighting Pain, and Closing in on Race Day Two weeks to go until the half marathon. No turning back no...

Into the Wild: A New Zealand Adventure

This past holiday season, Michelle and I decided to break away from the familiar. Instead of the usual family gatherings in Bay Area, we packed our bags for New Zealand—a land of rugged beauty, epic adventures, and just enough unpredictability to keep us on our toes. Little did we know, this trip would push us out of our comfort zones and into the heart of an unforgettable adventure. The Start of Something Big We left San Diego with excitement buzzing in the air, cruising up to Los Angeles for a late-night flight. Parking was smooth- thankfully, I’d planned ahead- and soon we were boarding a 12-hour journey to the land of the long white cloud. As we flew across the Pacific, I kept imagining the landscapes ahead: towering mountains, roaring waterfalls, and surreal geothermal pools. Michelle, ever the planner, was busy double-checking our packed itinerary. We touched down in Auckland mid-morning, and the adventure began right away. After grabbing a rental car and stocking up on snacks, w...

A Day of Survival: Hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is known as one of the world’s best day hikes, celebrated for its breathtaking views of volcanic landscapes, emerald lakes, and vast valleys stretching as far as the eye can see. On a perfect summer day, hikers marvel at the serenity of the glistening peaks and colorful crater lakes. But the day we chose to tackle it? It was anything but perfect. We arrived in Auckland on a warm December morning, the buzz of summer in the air. The journey from San Diego had been long, but the excitement of adventure quickly revived us. After picking up our rental Kia SUV from Hertz, we made a quick stop at Pak’nSave to stock up on provisions for the hike: trail mix, energy bars, electrolyte drinks and plenty of water. Our hotel for the night, the Hilton Auckland, offered a stunning waterfront view. That evening, we dined at Ahi, indulging in the best of New Zealand’s cuisine—a perfect prelude to our upcoming adventure. The next day, we hit the road toward Tongariro Nationa...
