It has come to my attention that life as I know it is simply escalating in all levels, even in levels I never thought I'd care about. We're talking about levels ranging from my worries about the swelling in my mouth which keeping my dentist from extracting a decayed molar which is causing me extraordinary... Continue Reading →
More or Less
The more you give God, the more He is praised, the more His purpose is fulfilled in your life.As 2009 came to a close, and as we looked back at the personal situations that have struck deep in our hearts, in good ways and bad ways, I have taken note of one particular thing -... Continue Reading →
Distressed
DistressedOriginally uploaded by buddha_burgerThis here is me first actual attempt in texturing a shot with Pao. The texture was an unpainted, cracked cement floor common in the houses on the hill-sides here in Baguio.

In The Know
I used to balk at the phrase, "It's not what you know, but who you know."; Unfortunately now I'm beginning to sell out to this phrase, because I know who gave me what I know; More importantly, I know that this same person knows everything about me, because He knows what's been going on with...

We keep telling each other that at work, and it encourages us a good deal. Additionally, the... Continue Reading →
