Mark 12: 28-34
Hos 14: 2-10/ Ps 81: 6-11, 14 and 17
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength… You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Paramore in Manila is a post from: Batang Yagit
Paramore in Manila is a post from: Batang Yagit
I went to Mall of Asia to watch Paramore’s concert but saw Callalily instead. A lot of Paramore fans didn’t like Callaliliy doing the front act that night. It’s like, “Hey, what are you guys doing up there? Shooo. Off the stage, off the stage!”. As for [...]
I’ve been living back here in the Philippines for almost 10 years now. I am thinking I still have lots of adjustments to do. As I said before its not easy to live back here.Really difficult, but its getting better over time. My first few months to 2 years here was really hell for me. [...]

Jer 7: 23-28 / Ps 95: 1-2, 6-9
He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
(Luke 11:23)
Our God Almighty does not reign
Over a divided kingdom;
All divisions in His domain
His Word and love shall overcome.
Jesus was casting out a demon when some of the people [...]

I never lost my positive feeling of wanting to push my blogs reach the goal that I have been aiming. It’s just I lost my focus and got overwhelmed by doing other things.
I had a couple of domains that got expired and have not maintained at all. It’s been almost a year since my [...]
Over the past couple of months, I’ve read many comments about having a place to live in The Philippines. Some folks see the wisdom in renting an apartment, condo or house as their residence. Others’ wisdom leans toward either buying or building their abode. Baket ko (Asawa ko) [my Wife] Emy and I are among the [...]
I ran the 5k race and I got tired is a post from: Batang Yagit
I ran the 5k race and I got tired is a post from: Batang Yagit
I ran last Sunday in Unilab’s Run United for Wellness and I got tired. I underestimated the 5-km race and I didn’t realize that the race will stress me to my limits. The last run I had was in 2008 when [...]
Matthew 5: 17-19
Deut.4:1,5-9 / Psa 147
Whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:19)
Those who prefer not to obey
God’s laws forfeit heaven’s treasure,
Those who submit will find the way;
Obedience is love’s true measure.
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; [...]
His father was assigned to Davao City in 1983, heading the 3rd Marine Brigade until 1986. He himself spent little time in the city, coming here only for short visits, but Ruffy Biazon, currently congressman of Muntinlupa City but gunning for a seat in the Senate under the Liberal Party (LP) slate, has hit upon [...]
It was a lot of fun going through the list of names. Rose and I really enjoyed it. There were many excellent suggestions, and some of the reasons were quite amusing, compelling, silly – all great fun. Several names made the short list. I liked Mac, Scooter and Blizzard. Rose liked Rascal (Raskal haha) and [...]

This doesn’t look like an excursion for the visiting teams of Liga Pilipinas. This loom like a war.
“Every team vowed to go all out to win this one, the teams committed to play all out,” said Bong Go, executive assistant to the Mayor and head of the sports committee of this year’s Araw ng Dabaw [...]
Renting is something that I highly recommend for the first few years that you live in the Philippines. Truth is, renting makes economic sense no matter how long you live here, because rental costs in the Philippines are relatively low compared to the cost of owning a home. This is not the case in much [...]
Crunchy puff outside with perfect taro stuffing inside, plus if sauced out with Hoisin (海鮮), it will elevate to something divine. I don’t know what’s in that Hoisin sauce but it is the perfect pair for taro puff. *Hoisin mean seafood, but it is said that it doesn’t even contain fish. Weird.

Do you remember when you turned 50? If you’re not there yet, stop reading now, I don’t want you to panic about it. I remember mine quite well; I woke up early one morning at my company’s contract hotel in San Diego CA. When I checked the time I also noted that it was also [...]
Matthew 18: 21-35
Dn 3:25.34-43 / Ps 25
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’
(Matthew 18:33)
How we forgive is the measure of
The kind of faith that we proclaim;
By showing mercy we can prove
That God’s forgiveness we can claim.
Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I [...]
I am a believer that expats have a moral obligation to learn as much about the country in which they live as they possibly can. The Philippines, like any other nation, has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. Long before the Spanish conquest of these islands, people lived here, thrived, and developed [...]
The pre-fight hype video leading to the Pacquiao/Clottey fight is out. Watch Pacquiao vs Clottey: Road to Dallas in High Definition here, brought to you by HBO Sports.
Perhaps I’m feeling an extra amount of pride because of the winter Olympics that are going on in my home city, province and country, but I often wonder about the thoughts of people who make the decision to adopt a new home country. Are they replacing one country for another? My feeling is I’d treat [...]
Last year, it was a couple of hours before I did my usual Oscar roundup. I dunno, it’s the usual cramming, gets me on my nerves. Jolt energy to my fingers. And apparently, I seem to still give a shit about this prognostication. Anyway, let’s get th…
Purefoods top gun James Yap, enduring a sore back in the recent KFC PBA Philippine Cup finals, intends to rest for four more days before starting a rehabilitation procedure to get back in top shape and be ready for their Fiesta Conference grind starting April.

These days, living in Mindanao is a bit tougher than it was just a few months ago. Frankly, the Island is on the verge of being powerless… in other words, without electricity. I wrote a couple weeks ago how Mindanao was on the verge of having to resort to rotating brownouts, and it came to [...]
