Expository Preaching: Expository preaching and the recovery of Christian worship by R. Albert Mohler Jr.

Worship properly directed to the honor and glory of God will find its center in the reading and preaching of the Word of God. Expository preaching cannot be assigned a supporting role in the act of worship – it must be central.

Tempers flared, violence ensued in the Philippines’ final game in the first round of the basketball World Cup qualifying games

Skirmish ends PH defeat by John Bryan Ulanday (Daily Tribune)
At one point, Jason Castro was seen jumping to plant a punch on the kisser of 7-foot-1 Thon Maker while a Filipino fan was seen hurling a metal chair on Nathan Sobey, an episode that reminds sideliners of the nasty brawl in the NBA involving players of the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers in 2014.

Mayhem by Cedelf P. Tupas (Philippine Daily Inquirer)
The game was supposed to provide Fiba a glimpse of the cavernous arena, one of the venues for the Fiba World Cup 2023 which the country is hosting with Indonesia and Japan.

Instead, it will now be remembered as the site of one of the worst brawls the sport has witnessed.


Waiting is investing in God by Dr. Harold J. Sala (Starweek)

Waiting is not wasted time; it is invested by faith in a sovereign God who has everything in control. It is a simple act of contrite submission to the truth that God has a plan for your life.

Transportation: Learning from London by Robert Siy (Manila Times)
London has over 9,300 uniformly-marked, red-colored buses running around the city and adhering to set schedules covering around 700 different routes. Today, London’s bus contracting is considered global best practice.

Integrity: A lesson from the mechanic  by Francis J. Kong (Philippine Star)
It may be difficult to do the harder right today and refuse to participate in the easier wrong, but the long term results lead to the strengthening of the character, and would reap beneficial results.

 Pewdiepie: My favorite author | His recent "Book Review". Japanese literature is interesting.
RogerRaker: HABOOMY! | A message worth hearing. Thumbs up!
Slow TV: Philippines has teleradyo, Korea has pop chart shows, and Norway has 'slow television'. CBS' Sunday Morning documented a television trend in Norway, which I think is worth trying in the Philippines, aside form that Aquarium Channel.

My Tracks of The Year: 2023

There is a segment on a radio show airing on mid-mornings on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom, where for an entire week (Monday to Friday) a celebrity guest or a well-known personality shares his or her favorite songs, most of which have defined one's life and career. Hence, the title " Tracks of My Years ." I find it a very interesting concept for radio, since songs tell much of one's journey through life. And even in just a span of a year, there's much to tell about someone in songs. With that, I have thought to put a twist to the aforementioned concept and share with you those tracks that mark moments, circumstances, and sentiments throughout the soon passing year. I got many of them from my Spotify Wrapped playlist , but I also selected some within the wide range of what I discovered this year. I'm delighted to share with you "My Tracks of the Year" for 2023. (Scroll past the following Spotify playlist as we go through each track.) 1. Through T

Akalain Mo 'Yon?: Reflecting on five years at work

The last time I have written for this blog is back in 2020, early during the lockdown, and I even at that time I have lost the appetite to sustain the posts. There were a lot of things that happened since then that could have prompted me to return to this blog, but it took five years of a career as a Special Features Writer, then Assistant Editor, then Editor, to bring me back to this blog; and I'm not even sure I can return with another blog post afterwards. For this post, I share my thoughts about those five years at work, which I'm still amazed I had the patience to endure . I wrote all that I could reflect about those five years. I feel that even those aren't enough. But to anybody who's reading this, thank you for your time. — Akalain mo 'yon? That's what I say to myself in every work anniversary so far. But this time, I think I shouldn't stop with that question. It was five years ago when I started writing for a living, typing in front of a computer a

Adrian The Silent

Source: http://www.katarinaforss.com/img/silence.jpg I know it in myself. I cannot deny it. Many people, especially very close friends in high school, see me as a talkative (at the least) and engaging guy. By timing and exposure, I get to speak and talk and converse among people. Yet, many still have an impression of me as the opposite, and I don't deny that. At many circumstances, I'm silent. Quiet. Static. Loner. But, silent is the best term I'll accept. Perhaps this is one of my marks of being a writer; a mark making my desire for writing really fit to me; perhaps the reason why I'm inclined to make my voice heard through written words rather than spoken ones. But, believe me, I want to break that silence. I've already did that before, but I want to do it again. I seek to break the barriers that are still there, and have more connections while still being myself. I've recently heard and learned that it is said that there are 4 personalities in general: sangui
