    CROSS: The Sign of our FAITH

    CROSS: The Sign of our FAITH In Ancient Greek, a sign is known to be a mark of ownership. Thus doing the sign means we are letting yourself to be owned by God. A seal we that we acknowledge being a warrior of Christ. This sign in itself is already a prayer. Doing the sign means we open ourselves to God’s grace. Moving our hands from the forehead to our heart/womb, then to our shoulders, we are asking God to bless our mind, our body and the very core of our desires and passion to Christ. ” Pope Innocent III wrote in his instructions on making the Sign of the…

    Alma Mater

    Reading and singing it on my head reminds me so much of the 4 years that I’ve spent in this school. I credit all I’ve learned about teaching and loving this passion to all teachers/professors, friends and students that I have encountered from 2001 – 2005.  This is a memory; like that of a familiar scent that brings back beautiful recollections of the college/university life. Indeed beautiful and unforgettable. Like many of us, we somehow kept those stories behind our mind but once reminded by a song, a photo perhaps, our heart jumps in happiness… realizing that somewhere in our past – an encounter like this happened. Above is the…

    Making a Stand

    I am writing this blog to make a stand. I am writing this blog to show my love.   I am writing this blog not to judge.   I am writing this blog not to discriminate and offend anyone.   I am writing this blog to express what I think is right.   For days now, media and social media is on a silent battle. We see people changing their profile pictures into rainbows, other into their wedding photo; others are red and a cross.   Some of us are not vocal enough to exactly say where we stand, maybe because we want to avoid hurting the people we love.…

    I am Catholic

    When our fellow believers start to question us about our faith, most of the time we tend to back down because our faith seemed to be just a “hand-me-down” culture/religion… It is important that as a faithful believer, we don’t only follow blindly but we follow with a grateful heart because we know deep in our hearts the reasons why we do these things. So here’s a list/guide of the bible scriptures that will answer the cabwebs on our heads related to the Catholic faith. Important things we should know as Catholics. – CATHOLIC DOCTRINES ARE IN THE BIBLE – Catholics are always intimidated into believing that we do things…

    Smoking Doll

       SMOKING DOLL It’s our second time here. I’m not a big fan of Thai food but to my surprise, the very first time we tried this restaurant at Gate Towers, Reem Island called Smoking Doll… it has left a great impression on my palate. So Kokobear and I decided to take another round in this Asian Fused Restaurant.   On our first visit the Pad Thai and that smoking/steamy sea bream was a blast! “Impressive!”   This time, we tried their Ramadan Feast that has a complete pack of appetizer & soup, main dish and sweets! Here is a treat to the eyes…   We both recommend you to…
