To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge, to find the will of God is the greatest discovery, and to do the will of God is the greatest achievement. – Author Unknown —- A day’s quiet can do your soul some good.

June 28th, 2011 Iris Feeling out-of-sorts is a feeling I’ve grown accustomed to in the past few months. Though it’s hard to admit, I was (and still a little) bit prideful. I was used to being important, demanded after, even argumentative for its sake. I lived and breathed corporate life. I used to think I still do. But that [...]
Inspiration and levitation
June 27th, 2011 Iris There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done’ and those to whom God says, ‘All right then, have it your way.’ -CS Lewis I’m done with the latter kind. I’m off to a new adventure; where to, I don’t know. But I know it started at once when [...]
We believe [lp]
June 23rd, 2011 Iris Sa June 29 (Sri Lanka) at July 3 (Rizal Stadium, Manila), haharapin ng Philippine National Football team, o mas kilala sa tawag na Azkals, ang Sri Lanka para sa 2012 FIFA World Cup qualifers. Kailangan natin manalo, not necessarily in both games dahil aggregate scoring ito. Kung ano ang ‘maipon’ na score sa first game, [...]

June 19th, 2011 Iris Day 19 of the 30 Day Song Challenge: a song from your favorite album. I don’t know much about albums where great singles come from, but this has gotta be the best for me because I actually remembered. Adam Sandler’s romantic comedy Just Go With It surprised me. I’m not a big let’s-watch-a-chick-flick-on-the-big-screen kind of [...]
Day 18: Closer to love
June 18th, 2011 Iris Day 18 of the 30 Day Song Challenge: a song that you wish you heard on the radio. I wish radio stations played more songs with sense rather than “hits” that just whine about love or moan about sex (explicit or not). I still trust in the fact that there are lots of real talented [...]
Peace is a difficult thing
June 17th, 2011 Iris [Peace] is seldom the result of much-having. It does not necessarily come with great success. Instead, it is the unexpected gift. It is the surprise. It is there even when we didn’t expect it. It remains even when the going is tough. And it can grow in the midst of pain and difficulty. -Henri Nouwen, [...]
Day 17: OMG
June 17th, 2011 Iris Day 17 of the 30 Day Song Challenge: a song that you hear often on the radio. Well, back when I still listened to it. I don’t bother these days because one: the radio jocks either talk too much or laugh too much; two: there too many radio ads; three: you need at least 3 [...]
Dive!
June 16th, 2011 Iris “The defensive partnership of Jason Sabio and Aly Borromeo evoked painful memories of the game against Mongolia in Ulan Bator. Shaky and tentative, they themselves would be the first to admit that this was not a classic defensive performance by either player. Shambolic defending by the central defenders led to at least two of the [...]
Bleach this.
June 15th, 2011 Iris Not the laundry-related kind, but the Photoshop kind. I told myself that I wouldn’t have the patience to learn Photoshop because it’s too nerdy and techie for me. But circumstances called for it, so might as well embrace the inevitable eh? So I recently discovered the bleach bypass effect on PS while searching for a [...]
