The Lord Jesus Christ's Birthday

2010-09-24T11:20:00.011+08:00

It's that time of the year again... the "ber" months. Already malls are playing Christmas carols and displaying all sorts of decorations for the season. I feel sad for them because the Lord Jesus was NOT really born on the 25th of December. At the time of this writing, we are within a few days of His actual birth anniversary. Like I wrote in a post last year, I believe His birth was during the

Finished reading my Bible

2010-07-29T14:16:00.004+08:00

Last July 24, 2010 at 7:34AM Philippine time (a Sabbath), I finished reading through my KJV Bible. It's the first time I read the Scriptures from cover to cover. I believe it took me approximately 2 years and 4 months to finish my study. It was an eye opening experience. My intent was to dig deep in the Bible and have some of my lingering questions answered. With the help of God, I was

Happy 2010!

It's less than 20 hours to 2010. For the past month or so Filipinos have been celebrating the holiday season like there's no tomorrow (seems like everyone has lots of money these days). Tonight, I expect another display of fireworks firepower that will rival a small war. The sonic fury and visual display from a fireworks-crazy nation is sure to terrorize small animals once more ;-) I know that

Our food is killing us!

I spend hours in the supermarket, more than any other person I know. It's not that I just like hanging out in the air conditioned mall - it's because I read product labels carefully. I also observe the buying habits of Filipinos. I noticed that the majority never bother knowing what they are ingesting. They just buy what's cheap and tastes good. People don't know that whatever their ailments are

A Filipino Family's Movie List 2009

2009-12-01T09:11:00.011+08:00

I'm a movie buff. I love watching flicks at the theater and with my home setup. My family's taste may not be the same as the general public (or critics) so keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and nothing more. Our likes range from loud, effects-filled movies to dramas and everything in between. Movies released in 2009 that are not on the list were not enjoyable to me and my family or

Christmas: Commercialized and Pagan?

2009-12-01T06:04:00.013+08:00

It's the first day of December. We are again bombarded by reminders from merchants peddling their wares, each one trying to get a slice of our holiday budgets. From TV ads, to holiday music in malls, we are constantly reminded that to be happy this season we must spend, give, and receive. Although there's nothing blatantly wrong with this, businesses must make a profit after all, but I am

Philips DVP3360K Upscaling DVD Player Review

2009-11-20T04:25:00.008+08:00

After nearly five years, my sleek, slot-loading Philips DVP5100k DVD player died. It just stopped reading discs one day. It was a sad day because the player was so customizable. You can even flash it with modified firmware that adds many features (you may have to run the site thru a translator). But it was also a happy day because I get to buy new gear ;-) One thing's certain, it would have to

I felt like a tech dinosaur

2009-11-19T08:39:00.014+08:00

A couple of days after my 35th birthday, I had nothing to do. Thoughts of one's mortality touch the mind at times like these. What have I contributed to mankind's progress? What will future generations think of me? Oh deep thought... I always wanted to share my experiences to others but was too lazy to update my past websites. What am I to do? Oh wait a minute... there's this thing called "
