A month ago, I had a scary encounter with a person wielding a very sharp knife. Well, I do owe that dentist for getting rid of my final impacted wisdom tooth… but only after over an hour of slicing, drilling and hammering at my jaw. Consolation: due to the stitches, I was not able to […]
I’m in Tarlac for the next week or so…voluntary exile from the hustle and buste of city life. Here are the things I appreciated in the real world, post Kawayan Camp:
1. Seeing my grades in my first year in grad school… amazing.
2. Staying at our rooftop and being tossed about in my hammock in Signal#2 […]
I don’t own a camera and I am totally clueless about documentation. I have ample cause to regret it when I look back at my recent spate of out of town trips and activities the past few months. So here’s something that I hope I can learn within 2008:

falling asleep 0-5 seconds after […]
It’s my day off as a counselor for a one-month concentration camp, er, intensive leadership training camp here in Negros. This summer, I am simply overwhelmed with everything that happened the last 2 weeks of March…

For a slow Thursday are:
1. Witnessing a friend encounter God and realizing that John 3:16 is self-explanatory.
2. Anticipating my first niece (a doll! yehey!).
3. Receiving a farewell letter with from a person who made the past year worth it.
I’ve been to the videoke 3x the past month. I miss singing. I miss the choir. So […]
“Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living”
- Jim Elliot
This quote comes from one of the numerous LCM (Love, Courtship and Marriage) books I devoured in times ofhormonal imbalance. Since my love life right now remains a perpetual item on my prayer list, I am instead using this line to remind myself […]
I finally submitted my resignation letter last February, effective March 21. After all my work-related angst, what took me so long? Well, it was just now that I finally got that clear signal to go. No fanfare, no big arrows, no voice booming from yonder clouds. Just having that peace and conviction settle in that […]
Since I had no camera and am too lazy to download almost a thousand photos from my companions’ multiply sites, here is the text version of my weekend away with officemates at Baguio, during the Panagbenga 2008. Unlike the horde (flock, multitude, masses, crowds, etc) of humanity that converged in the summer capital last week, […]
