Early Sunday evening was the Christmas Candlelight Carols Service at First Baptist DC. The choir (of which I am a part), joined the Calvary Baptist Choir, the Friday Morning Music Club, and the Runnymede Singers (no website), to sing such Christmas greats as Gustav Holst’s “Christmas Day” medley (a rather fast and challenging piece) and […]
(Me Graduating uploaded by brownpau.) This is my graduation from Ateneo de Manila in 1998. (Yeah, I was pretty thin and slouchy back then.)

I’ll be up north for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, but not completely incommunicado, as Amy‘s folks do have a wireless broadband connection. For now, enjoy this photo of […]
You Washingtonians may have heard the news about the deer that jumped into the cheetah den at the National Zoo last week. The cheetahs did pounce the deer, but animal keepers were able to distract the cats while the deer escaped with just a tail wound. Some people wondered, however, how could deer escape from […]
This week’s “Lost” Comprehension Quiz is an analogy question. Please circle the correct answer: Dumbledore is to Shannon as Snape is to: (a) Sayid (b) Walt (c) Ana Lucia (d) Voldemort Some quick notes from Wednesday’s Lost episode, “Abandoned,” which mostly failed to sustain my interest.
