I used to be proud to be cynical... Until today. The problem is that we're all in a world that denies that they have a conclusion about someone before they actually meet them up front. It works both ways. We can have a good outlook on a person, and chances are we become disappointed when... Continue Reading →

New Year’s Convalescence
Isn't it nice to be reunited with friends you've never seen or heard of for the longest time? I'm quite sure that there are those reasons to appreciate this event which are common among all of us. There's a particular effort that all parties involved seem to take to ensure that the bond between them... Continue Reading →
The Effects of Surrender: Remembering 2008
As I begin to write this, it's 2 hours before the last work shift I have for 2008 ends. I have nothing left to do right now, as the people that are under my care are currently being catered to by the good people of another department. My work is literally done, and I am... Continue Reading →
Responding to Suffering by Charles F. Stanley
A hurricane wreaks havoc and devastation on a coastal town. Economic hardship pushes families out of their homes. Yet another school shooting leaves young people dead. Perhaps you've wondered, "God, why don't You prevent these tragedies? Why all this suffering?" The truth is that God could intervene. The Bible teaches that He is sovereign, no... Continue Reading →
The Storm Before The Calm
Is a wound re-inflicted just as painful the second time around? I would't like to think so, but I'm not necessarily believing in the fact that constant exposure to something feigns contempt. See, I'd still like to practice sensitivity by choice, because it basically helps me out more with my prayers, in the sense that... Continue Reading →
Darker|Brighter
So far all communication given to me regarding the issue of movement to Manila has been verbal, something that wouldn't really be helpful to me. Though I have been able to acquire some sort of record of what was communicated to us, it is in a medium which is could not necessarily be deemed valid... Continue Reading →
Deep Breathing

Chest Pounding
*Another shot of self-psyching. I hope it helps you as much as it helps me. God bless you. *So I come in two hours earlier today, on what is apparently my last work week here in Baguio, to discuss more details about what's going to go down when I go down before I go down.... Continue Reading →
Shadow Boxing
A shot of self-psyching, taken right after I watched Mission Impossible III for the first time just now. Nice movie. The reason I write now is quite unclear; perhaps what i have in mind is in such a blur that as these words are coming out of my brain to my fingers to make pressure... Continue Reading →
Comienzo del Final
I want to be somewhere else, and where I'm being taken is somewhere indeed. I'm nervous, to the point that I deny myself of something to eat. I'm nervous, and therefore this means that I'm more prayerful.What looks like 2 months may seem like so much more to me. It would depend on what transpires... Continue Reading →
