new link
If you happen to glance at the blogs & sites linked here (lower right, please), you'll notice I've added two friends: Rhea Paredes is having fun, working & ministering, somewhere in the US; Redefine Weddings is the photog outfit of Jayson & Jo Anne Arquiza, the wonderful couple who took our wedding photos last September (enjoy their photos! - and, sorry, Ruth & I haven't finalized our pics yet, kaya wala pang album). Did I say two friends? Three pala...

tinkering
Had some time to play with the features in Blogger. The above picture was taken from Pearl Farm in Davao. Beautiful place. Some friends have been ribbing me for not trying out the swimming pool. Hehe! Next time, Lord-willing, we'll try the pool.

mrt woes
Woe is me...I take the MRT!
That was not poetry, just sheer rant. Reports say that the MRT & LRT have reached their full capacity...more, maybe out of desperation, are taking the MRT than that boxy thing we call 'bus' (pero marami nang magandang bus, ha). Do I have the right to rant? Ang sikip, grab. When you get off, you don't feel inspired to work anymore...like you've had a full day of stressful work and all you want to do is go home and sleep! Anymore. Wahahat? I haven't started work yet!
I realize the solution here is to get up earlier...so I can take that boxy thing to work! And avoid the MRT altogether! Ugh...brilliant. Maybe a conspiracy here somewhere.

reading this
I'm almost halfway with Discovering the God Who Is. RC Sproul continues to remind me of the majesty, greatness, faithfulness & love of God. Here's from the chapter I just finished:
"We must not forget that Jesus was, in human form, the Creator of the world. At any moment in His ministry He could have extinguished the life of those who opposed Him. The world was made by Him, in Him, and for Him. He had the power and authority to alter that creation by eliminating some undesirable rascals. But He chose to humble Himself before those very rascals. He allowed Himself to be arrested, tried, scourged, mocked, and crucified by men whom He could have annihilated with a single glance. That is humility. Acting with less power than one has at his disposal when attacked by another displays an astonishing level of grace. This is the Jesus who is our Lord. It is precisely His mindset that Paul called us to imitate in Philippians 2."
