Being in a lockdown with an elbow injury can be plain torture when you have all the time in the world to play guitar and experiment and make music and yet not be allowed to do so until your elbow is healed. So I just did the next best thing, which is to do a […]
Almost 8 years ago (mid 2012) my family and I decided to leave our old church and worship regularly at Christian Bible Church of the Philippines (CBCP Talayan Church or CBCP TC for short). This came at a time where I was spiritually tired and emotionally in turmoil. For one year, my wife and I […]

Osaka is quite a refreshing place for me. Despite being the 2ndlargest metropolis in Japan, it still retains a laid-back feel amidst the observable hustle and bustle of a modern urban area.
