Brandon received a call from Elizabeth, his cousin, he was still sleepy. It was Christmas Day. Liz told him that their Uncle Ron had a massive heart attack and died at 3:00 a.m. at the hospital. Brandon was somber. His Uncle died at the ripe age of 92 years old. He thought it was his time.

Do not take the taxi parked by the arrival entrance area of the airport terminal. Instead, walk along the airport avenue until you reach the end. Then walk to the right or left of the perpendicular avenue and wait for a taxi at the loading and unloading zone. The cab driver will charge you by the meter which is the regular rate and much lower than the airport taxi fare. This may also work for a ship port or a bus terminal.

Ascension Press  and  Ascension Presents   in collaboration with  Inspires   give you this riveting magnum opus.‎.. Condensed Reflection by James Z. Carpio Lent can be too personal for certain people. We asked a few people what they were planning to do for this coming Lent and they were evasive and tried not to delve much into the topic. It is quite understandable because each person has a unique experience growing up in his/her own particular family and he/she have practiced traditions that have been passed on from generation to generation. Some or many Catholic men and women who studied in Catholic schools have had their own fair share of religious activities which may have included; confession, retreat, prayers e.g. the rosary and the Holy Mass, and the Religion subject.

Jin Jui approached the Master, slowly and ever so smoothly. Absolute silence. Not a single step sent a sound wave. He had been confused, frustrated, and disturbed. He needed words of wisdom that only Master Ang Loo could dispense.
