My boss though didn’t enjoy his room as much and complained of his small TV and his remote control. So I gaped at him and said, “My TV is a flat-screen”! But seeing his consternated look, I relented immediately and said, “Joke lang sir”. I knew I did the right thing when he heaved a sigh of relief… even if I did have to say a little white lie.

Saturday
Feb 21,2009

“the reckless pursuit of anti-video game legislation like this is an exercise in wasting taxpayer money, government time, and state resources.

Many think that faith is something that you think about or something that you feel. That maybe true, though not completely so. For faith, if authentic, moves one to action. If love is a verb, so also faith (and hope). 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
