THE final appointment
Tonight marks the beginning of the season of Advent. I have always thought of Christmas getting nearer and nearer when I hear the word “advent”. But the season of advent as celebrated by the church doesn’t just mean that Christmas is coming–a time for endless parties, reunions, exchange gifts, delicious foods, and the like. Yes, [...]
To rejoice in your weaknesses.
I am happy because God sustains my weak moments. He wants our miseries to be the throne of his mercy. He desires that our powerlessness be the throne of his mercy. –St. Augustine

Friday the 13th Adventure!
Contrary to the popular notion of Friday 13 being a bad day for anything, the start of my Friday the 13th was anything but unlucky—I was finally able to perform a successful protoplast isolation with Eichhornia crassipes leaves. I am so happy to be of help to our undergraduate thesis students. And then our bonus [...]
