  • Building a home

    I wonder how our parents made a home without getting broke. Or did they? Indeed, it takes wisdom to build a house, understanding to establish it, and knowledge to fill it. As it says in Proverbs 24:3-4 (CSB): A house is built by wisdom, and it is established by understanding; by knowledge the rooms are Read more

  • From curator to creator

    After months of catching up at work, it is a relief to get a footing finally.

Thanks to the President’s executive order, my lungs feel happier now that I can enjoy the smell of dew and green grass at the University. COVID-19 even Read more

  • Nope, get out

    I first met the work of Jordan Peele through his comedy sketches with Keegan-Michael Key in Key & Peele. Since I enjoyed his sketches, I jumped right into Peele’s movies when I finally had access to some of them. And both movies did not disappoint! Like Nope, Get Out subtly exposes the realities of racism. Read more

  • Building a home from scratch

    I wondered why adults are so fond of going to the hardware and department stores, but now that I am almost three decades older with a bit of cash to spare, I understand why. They are not particularly looking around stuff just because it is fun. They are there because they want to find that Read more
