A Towering Curve


The Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel in Filinvest City, Alabang, is a beautiful, modern landmark known for its unique, nature-centric architecture.


Inspired by an inverted white lily, the chapel's graceful curve stands in beautiful contrast to the sharp angles of nearby corporate buildings, symbolizing the purity of the Virgin Mary. Since opening in 2023, its towering design appears to open toward the heavens, creating a profoundly serene atmosphere.


More than just a place of worship, the chapel is a community hub with a big heart. It actively supports charitable causes, including Elsie Gaches Village, a facility for kids with developmental disabilities.


This architectural gem is a must-see, combining stunning design with a genuine mission of good. I highly recommend a visit.

Skynet on wheels, anyone?

Yamaha just dropped the mic on the future of two-wheelers with the MOTOROiD:Λ concept. This isn't just an electric bike; it's a four-wheeled robot pretending to be a motorcycle—one that learns, corrects itself, and can apparently look back at its own taillight while cruising. This bike is really smart. It uses Self-Learning AI that constantly tracks your riding style (braking, turning, speed) and refines its own handling to become smoother and smarter over time. If you hit a pothole or start to tip, the AI instantly corrects the balance, and it can even self-right without you touching it. It stays upright thanks to robotic stabilizers (called Motion Arms) that are so precise they can spin the bike's rear end 180 degrees while moving. Plus, the wheels have Hub Motors built in, giving it super-quick throttle and brake response, which adds to its almost supernatural stability. Is this stunning technology a real product coming soon, or is it just an impressive concept bike des...

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

A Lens on the Wild

The 2025 Wildlife Photographer of the Year winners have just been announced . Can you believe they received over 60,000 entries from 113 different countries and territories this year? That's a ton of photos, and it must have been so tough to choose. The images are incredible. They're proof of the photographers' amazing skill and patience, but also a shout-out to how totally awesome the animals and places they capture are. You get everything in these shots: moments of raw power, delicate tenderness, and a tough, honest look at the environmental problems our planet is facing. Once a photo makes it to the shortlist, the real inquisition begins. It must be original; a story we haven't seen before. It needs to make you pause, gasp, or even feel a bit uncomfortable.  London’s Natural History Museum proclaimed Wim van den Heever as the winner, and it took the South African photographer ten years to capture the striking, ghostly portrait of a brown hyena chilling right next to ...
