I PASSED THE CMSC 57 (Discrete Mathematical Structures in Computer Science II) FIRST LONG EXAMINATION! I did not expect that God really worked wonders when I prayed to Him to give me guidance for me to pass this exam which covered topics in Sum and Product Rule, Pigeonhole Principle, Inclusion-Exclusion Principle, Combinations, Permutations, and Probability. Although it's not a high score, but at least I got the passing mark. For you to know, I was one of, more or less, five passers of this exam, of all the 30 students who enrolled in this class. I mean, it's GOD'S GRACE ! I believe as I seek more of His Wisdom, I will gain more knowledge in this time when I return to where my academic weaknesses resided. The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge;        the ears of the wise seek it out. (Proverbs 18:15 NIV) KENNETH

Let me quote some lines of the essay Sapay Koma , written by Prof. Jhoanna Lynn B. Cruz , Humanities professor of UP Mindanao (who is now my current instructor for AH4 / HUM1: Adventures in Poetry, Fiction and Drama) The essay won the Third Prize in the Essay Category of the prestigious Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards in 2008. The full essay can be read in this link . ...Despite all the tragic relationships I had had with women, I still believed that it was worth fighting for the right of a woman to love another woman. What business did I have getting married to a very young man? And for all the wrong reasons. Must have been oxytocin overdose sponsored by the baby in my womb. Or a planetary alignment exerting mysterious forces on my consciousness. Or, gasp—Love!...  ...We didn’t get any gifts, except for a framed copy of 1 Corinthians 13: “Love is patient, love is kind… love does not keep a record of wrongs…” ... I once tried to convince my husband to just rent a gown and tuxe...

Hi friends in Jesus! See this picture? Dabawenyos will remember this very familiar hotel in Matina that has been closed years ago. In the so-near future, this place will be remember by Dabawenyos as the place where people serve God with joy . This old, cranky , creepy (not really) Venee's Hotel , an abandoned hotel in Matina Crossing, Davao City, will be the future site of the G12 Campus , the newest church center of the Lord of the Harvest Christian Community , my local church. God is really good that He given to this church the BEST PLACE for them. The church has signed the 5-year contract to the owners of the hotel for them to rent the place. However, there are plans that the church will soon purchase the place in this span of 5 years. Here, the church will have its worship center, lodging rooms (perfect for Encounter Weekend), offices, restaurant, and conference rooms. Yes, the BEST PLACE has come. Praise GOD! KENNETH

It has been four weeks in UP Mindanao as a Junior. I can imagine myself that I have been building up my maturity as a student, as a citizen, and as a whole person. Now in this third year of my stay in UP Mindanao... what's next? I can clearly see the potential of the new breed of BS Computer Science freshmen. Most of them excel in Math and Science (one of them talks geek...really). Most of them are talented. Most of them are expressive. Most of them are, in most standards, are relatively handsome and pretty. :-) I believe that they can all pass MATH 17 (College Algebra and Trigonometry) like our batch did, I believe, because I can see personalities who are critical enough to think, and with Ma'am Mayang as their teacher, I could attest that they should have F.U.N. in learning Math. (You know, the F.U.N. of SpongeBob SquarePants. LOL) What's next for these freshmen? Let's see. KENNETH (photo credits: McMonde Meliton, Raphael Aguirre)

Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with...
