Remembering Psalm 18:2 in Mt. Pico De Loro
I praise God for a wonderful weather up in Mt. Palay Palay. Pico De Loro is indeed a sight to behold, but more than that, being up there reminded us of a great truth that is often forgotten, which is found in Psalm 18:2. “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; [...]
Honor, say what?!
Last night, I got to text a friend who’s in the Navy. He was the upper-class of a former flame and was even the one who introduced us to each other. So we were catching up on each other, how’s work, where are you assigned, how’s your family, when the conversation drifted to asking about [...]
I did a very random thing today
I deactivated my Facebook account, just because. My friends were asking me: Why? I don’t know. I shocked even myself. It’s no secret I’m always on Facebook, and it’s no secret my online life is active. I blog. I tweet. I multiply. I YM. I email. I’m active because when I’m not out of town [...]

I love this song. I [...]
How do I love thee?
This week was a great reminder for me of love. I was writing in my journal how I think that I haven’t been loving at all to many people. Harold Sala has a phrase for it, taken from King Arthur’s the Camelot, “I can’t love people in slices. I take the good with the bad.” [...]
Disclaimers
I don’t like being misunderstood (for anything that I ever do), that’s why I always articulate my thoughts and express myself, and at the same time also encourage people to do that. The goal after all is not to please people but to be understood. As a general rule, I always try to make my [...]
Halalan 2010: Voting on Principle is never a waste
“Always vote for principle, though you mat vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” – John Quincy Adams Six years ago, I was already allowed to vote. I was 18 and was in my first year of college, and I remember being asked by my grandmother [...]
