The Miracle of the $5 Bill (repost)
In celebration of Missions Month in Cebu Bible Baptist Church, I’m reposting this inspiring story with Ma’am Josephine Mendez. Sometimes the best gem is found in the clutter — especially where no one would think it is a gem. I welled up with anticipation as I joined young people of our church on a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. It was summer, and it was my first trip abroad. The KAYA Lakbay team…
Live Out!
Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse clearly tells us that when we pray, we believe. We have faith in it. We live it out. And even for those who do not believe in prayer, this makes sense. Prayer comes from faith, and it’s led by faith in God’s sovereignty and in the truth that He is…
The Dichotomy of Being a Teacher
Sometimes I get confused about whether I’d be happy or embarrassed when I’m judged against high standards. Some people expect a lot from me. Sometimes I feel it’s a joke, but sometimes it’s serious. So, I don’t really know, or maybe others just want me to feel bad all the way. Am I that obnoxious? Being a teacher, I have observed, is a dichotomy. The ideal side is that it’s a respectable and…
Emotional. Action-packed. Funny. Romantic. And then the emotional core of this movie stretches from the beginning to the end, and I think this is the reason why this stands out in Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man. The addition of Jean Grey and The Punisher is just right. To more good MCU movies this year!
Wrong and Impossible Standards
Some people are so vain! They even want me to be one! I know I should be judged because sometimes I feel lofty, especially when I comment on famous people, even though I can’t be compared to them. Obviously, I live a normal life. Thus, most of my standards are also normal, that is, my physical appearance. What’s so annoying is that they compare me to those people I judge! Seriously? It’s unfair…
In This Difficult Time
Inflation is real! Imagine a 35-gram Colgate Total worth 55 pesos, and 45 ml of Rexona deodorant worth 135 pesos. Before, say 10 years ago, it was only 30-40+ pesos, and the deodorant was less than a hundred pesos. These are hard times, and our money should be spent wisely, every centavo of it. But even in these difficult times, I can‘t help but wonder that some people can still extravagantly…
Of course, some people complained about the casting of this epic film. However, they won't bother you if that's your concern. Their roles are small but they also played it very well. Christopher Nolan has always that magic to make complicated plots, fantastical scenes, and supposedly poetic dialogue to simple but meaningful and relevant. Of course, The Odyssey is part of those magical stories that we have known as children yet this retelling seems brand new. For me, Nolan uses another perspective and what I like is that he emphasizes human flaws and the presence of godly beings or being that hovers above and ruling over us. If there's someone who will be nominated for an Oscar acting performance, it will be Anne Hathaway. Of course the cinematography is no doubt breathtaking and the score is intense and modern. Nolan is really trying to reach out to a wide audience that he lets these characters utter with no accents at all. This film is truly epic!!!
Power & Privilege
John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name…” Christians, we are powerful because we are the sons of God. That is the privilege we receive when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We become adopted sons of God through Jesus Christ. This title is not easy to live out, not because God has made it…
Shameless Respect
What is respect? Who deserves respect? Has respect changed over time? I believe respect is still necessary, but people show it less openly now. Generally, young people do not esteem it as a necessity or a rewarding trait. Most of the time, it comes off as a drudge, a charge coming from parents, teachers, spiritual mentors, and other forms of authority. That is basically the reason why it’s not…
The Teacher’s Role
What I’ll be writing here is inspired by an episode of the 90s drama Felicity. The show centers on Felicity, who chose to study at the fictional University of New York after learning that her high school crush planned to attend the same university. Several episodes deal with college issues like plagiarism, choosing a career after graduation, and teachers being indifferent or helpful to their…
Monday Jam
This week, work has begun again, and I was not late once out of four days. Very tragic and bad, right? One time, the traffic was really bad, and I went out really late. Yet, not all schools have opened, but the traffic is already not that good. How much more when all schools are open, the same old struggle will be haunting me again. In the usual days, I don’t know why Monday is strangely…
I love the Toy Story series, and the fifth one is not an exception. The series could have ended by the third installment and the fourth one might be a little extra (still good though), but the fifth one commanded relatability. I believe Toy Story promotes good morals, and this fifth installment has a lot of them. It covers: that true friendship is born organically; technology can't replace pure fun; kids must develop social skills personally and organically; technology is everything but playing games with your imagination and real people doubles the fun. And it teaches us more. The addition of the other toys are well, it made the fifth installment more fun. Greta Lee and Conan O'Brien as superstar additional voice characters are standouts. This is Jessie's story, and again, Toy Story wouldn't be complete without its emotional strings displayed. Toy Story 5 is a complete movie, not perfect, but complete. Plus, as a Taylor Swift fan, the song in the end credits add more nostalgia and emotional attachment to the series. Maybe, add a couple more Toy Stories, because they have been consistent.

Go Local!
Although fuel prices have slowly gotten back to normal, plane tickets are still high. So staying local is the best thing to do, or traveling somewhere nearby where you don’t need a plane. I originally planned to stay home all summer and watch everything I missed on the streaming platforms I subscribe to. My original travel buddies are now very far from me (hehehe…), so no one would plan the…
From a Stranger
Isn’t it nice to meet someone who doesn’t know you yet is still kind? There have been many times when strangers have just greeted me with “Good morning“, “Good afternoon“, or “Good evening“. Such simple gestures always brighten my mood, especially when I’m having a tough day. A kind word or small gesture from a stranger can really lift your spirits. It is disappointing, though, when those you…
“Miracles”?
What we saw, heard, and witnessed in our government over the last week was just preposterous, whether you’re loyal to one party or you’re marching for what is fair for those who are treated unfairly. On both sides, it’s comical, seemingly innocent, but purely corrupt. There are moments when this sort of fanatically chaotic event is shoved into our faces, we wish and pray that God does something…
