8 Can-do’s for a Prosaic Travel Alone


Our realizations, most of the time, seem mousy that they come out more often when we are alone than when we kill time enjoying with a group of friends.

Nonetheless, I have no scientific explanation. And I didn't have the time and get-up-and-go to google it. And this is what makes it labelled under ‘Journal.’

Having a workplace that is within walking distance from my place is a big advantage, really, especially here in the metro. No further explanations needed. You exactly know why. However, at some point, it also carries some drawbacks: it minimizes my self-called philosophical time—the solitude I find from traveling alone with my eyes glued on the streets no matter how good the movie being played on the TV bus is or how intriguing a couple seems in that jeepney ride.

When faith becomes dead...


"6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do." - James 1:6-9

The things that do not come from God He hates. Sin doesn't come from Him, that's why He hates it. And doubt is among the 'ungodly' things; hence, God considers it loathing.

Doubt is created by the enemy to hurt God's feelings; to insult His greatness, His capabilities, His very most being; to form unbelief among God's children; and most especially, to nurture this unbelief until nothing seems possible anymore.
