5. Snow White

At last after two years I was able to taste kimchi again. But then my insides some sort of heated up. Since I experienced gastritis, my stomach overreacts the moment it accommodates what it considers foreign (oo, foreign ang kimchi!). But man, it tastes soooooo good!

I tried to research the health benefits of this food (so that I may have reasons to tell my parents when they see me bringing home a bottle). Here are some:

1. it promotes healthy digestion
2. it cleanses your intestines; it helps heal ulcers.
3. it helps clear up UTI's
4. it helps lower blood cholesterol! It's an artery-purifier.
5. it aids in blood clotting
6. its ingredients contain high amount of fiber, vitamins A and C and iron.
7. it contains stuffs which have antioxidant properties

Bignay branch found beside the Country Mansion,
Laguna, Philippines


Mind you, I'm a nature-lover too! I love to take pictures of plants and appreciate the mountains, seas and the fields.

When we went to Talangka this afternoon, we discovered a bunch of freshly-cut branches laid beside the street where our 'resthouse' (or bahay sa bukid in tagalog) was built. I learned that its tree is called bignay.

I've done a little research regarding this plant and realized that its kind is found in only Southeast Asia, Australia and India. It's termed currant in English. It's edible and contains calcium and iron.

These are the books I treasure the most :)

This book was given to us by CBS Asia. 

I got this through some generous people who donated  to CBS Asia.


I only bought this book for 200Php. It's Kuya from CGM who
sold this book to me. I used to see him selling books in our seminary
and in one of the conferences. I like the way Mark Dever clarified the definition
of the Gospel and some misunderstandings about it.

Thanks to Sir. John Pesbre who compiled these statements. I put
small post-its to easily find the set of confessions

Thanks to Mr Mitch Glasser
who brought this to me for free. Actually, I
signed up to their site that I may have it. I wasn't
expecting that they will seriously send it. It has a great content
and has clearly proven through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah

It's the first book I got which was written
by Dr. Ravi. I was a Philosophy major then
and was experiencing struggles in my faith. I then saw
the reasonableness of my faith. 



It has been my dream to set up a personal library. I never thought this would happen. 

Our living room got expanded, and I'm thankful that my mom had the idea of using the additional space as a reading area. We have 6 shelves and we were able place 200+ books on 3 of them. The book categories include apologetics, theology, language and literature, christian living, christian classics, missions, bible study materials, non-fiction, health, and philosophy. There are mags too :)
