Behold I make all things new." Rev. 21:5. In an age of unfathomable pain and suffering; at a time of inconceivable disparity between rich and poor; amidst wars and rampant environmental destruction; does the promise of Jesus’ Easter, resurrection still make sense today? Behold I make all things new. Behold I make all things new. Behold I make all things new. The passage reminds us that, God will triumph over evil.

When Harry Lee died. When Harry Lee died his neighbors from the north east cried and wished they had a leader much like him. Because he ushered progress. By wielding an iron fist. While we mourn his death and celebrate his achievements. Let us remember that Singapore's history cannot be simply reduced according to the account of its leader.

http://chuckbaclagon.blogspot.com/2013/05/lockdown-short-story.html
Digital metamorphosis (a short story). Makati City. 8:15 AM. The train stops and the door slides open. Suddenly the empty MRT station bursts into a sea of people rushing amidst the morning rush hour in Ayala Avenue. The sight has been the norm for Simon, whose brisk walk suddenly turns into strides as he hurries off to his 8:30 meeting. Ironically, the chorus: " ♩. I’ve been working for the rat race….

The Skeleton Years: Between Lunacy and You. It was a little more than a year ago when I had the privilege of watching them on their first gig and I was immediately hooked with the fascinating blend that somehow combines the post-punk sensibilities of Joy Division and the melodic melancholia punk rock of Alkaline Trio.

Ruins, Fort Santiago, Manila. One of the oldest sights in Manila is the magnificent Fort Santiago. And I'm pleased to say, it is.
