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.

Gilas-Boomers match-turned-fight



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.

The Rhythms of Me

As a young boy, I'll usually get to listen to RJ 100 , an adult contemporary--that's the genre of the music they're playing--radio station in the Philippines. Also, I'll listen to songs from CDs containing mostly 80s music. And as I grew up, my interest in old school music went on. As a freshman, I listened to such stations like 99.5 RT , Magic 89.9 , 96.3 Easy Rock and 105.1 Crossover for nice old school music. I listened and searched for music from bands like Men Without Hats, Fra Lippo Lippi, V.S.T and Co., Bee Gees, Naked Eyes, Eurythmics, Industry, JoBoxers, The Go Go's, Nena, Toto, Huey Lewis and The News, Hall and Oates; and artists like Rick Astley, Phil Collins, and Michael Jackson on the Internet. But most of all, my interest for old school music grew during this recent summer and as a sophomore. As I spent my sweet summer before I went on 2nd year in high school, I learned about Tears for Fears, China Crisis,Level 42,our very own bands here like The Daw...

Adrian's Mid-Year Melodies: 2024

Last year, before we welcomed the present year, I recalled 2023 in ten songs (and some more), which I labelled "My Tracks of the Year," after a well-known BBC Radio 2 fixture in weekday mornings. And now that we have gone fairly midway through 2024, I want to share this time the songs I've enjoyed in the past months, most of which have been soundtracking all that I've been through: the small wins, the crushing setbacks, the weight of work being alleviated by music, the roller-coaster of feelings being diagnosed by lyrics. I call this my "Mid-Year Melodies." On the Spotify / YouTube playlist there are 40 songs, but for this blog I'll highlight ten songs, with some special mentions.  Let's get right into it. 1. The Lovers - Alexander O' Neal (1987) After appreciating RnB/soul artist Alexander O'Neal with his classic "Criticize" during Christmas season, in January I've loved his album Hearsay , with its cool narrative of a party w...

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...
