Busyness:  Why Jam-Packed Schedules Can Be Dangerous by Kevin DeYoung (Crossway)
The antidote to over-busyness isn’t sloth and indifference, but rather rest, rhythm, death to pride, acceptance of our own finitude, and trust in God’s providence. It isn’t work itself that’s bad busyness, but working hard at the wrong things: trying to please or control others, trying to do things we haven’t been called to do.

UAAP Volleyball: A New Dawn Beckons by Kristina Villanueva (Starweek)
“I told my teammates about it, not coach Ramil, and some of them agreed to do the same. I was a scholar but even if I lose the scholarship, we still have the means for me to continue studying so maybe that’s why I was able to think that way. But when I looked at the athletic scholars, who had no choice but to press on as they solely depend on their scholarship, I realized the same opportunity I was given. What right do I have to quit just because I felt like giving up? I got inspired by them."

Senator Angara: Edgardo J. Angara, man of destiny by Wilson Lee Flores (The Philippine Star)
The sudden demise of former Senate President Edgardo Javier Angara is a great loss to the Philippines, because he is one of the most hardworking and intellectually brilliant politicians whose numerous laws, projects and ideas have immeasurably benefitted us and helped lay the strong bedrock of our now fast-growing economy.

Radio on TV: Dobol B sa News TV reaches new markets by Jerry Donato (The Philippine Star)
“I’m more aware now that more young people watch us,” shared the actress-singer-turned-media personality. “I thought before AM radio (was) on its way out… sa dami ng choices ngayon ng media. Among media, ang dami mo ng kalaban na pwedeng panoorin o pakinggan, AM radio is still (here)… It can never die… with the advent of Radyo na, TV pa, all of a sudden, I get private and direct messages and communication from young people. The reach has widened.”

Sports issues: No politics in sports! by Susan Papa (Manila Times)

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...
