Summer Tips for Trips: Dining Locally

Someone said, ‘You don’t need a silver fork to eat a good food'. 
Good food can just be around the corner of places abroad, one must not just get to see the sights and sounds of the places and but also the taste of it to get the whole experience. That’s by tasting local delicacies; local signature foods and dining in places that serve local cuisines. And no need for a silver fork for that.

 Doing some Research
Before going for your summer trip and destinations, research on the best place for their local cuisines; here are some great sources for that:
  • Local Bloggers- since a local and mostly a lover to their own places; they’re great sources of information and by contacting them they could give more personal insight.
  • Travel guides- be sure to find an updated travel guide as some are old and new infrastructures have already been made are still not in print. Look at their local restaurant section, one can find the top restaurants with rating from 3 to 5 stars and also reviews.
  • Ask a Friend or Relative- word of mouth is one of the best advertisers and with a friend or family relative that has great taste and has already been there, is a reliable source of tips and even warnings.

 Tasting the Experience
Upon reaching the destination make sure that the decision to taste and eat in those places is fixed. Be both bold but daring; trying new things but also cautious like asking a few questions. Keep in mind also food allergies as it may be triggered by some of the ingredients in those delicacies. Make sure to really savour each food experience and take some pictures if it is allowed as a souvenir of that exploit.

Blogging again!

I miss blogging! So after nights of sipping on my coffee and thinking (and also looking at the stack of paper of all my preaching notes) I've decided to blog them. :D Since becoming a pastor 3 years ago, I would prepare for my sermons or preaching every week. It doesn't include the time I would also prepare for my G12 cell group with my core leaders and opencell life groups we conduct. I also have notes for every class I conduct on our Post-encounter, School of Leaders 1 and 2. So yes, if material is the question, no doubt I have plenty of those. Then I also though of what I am passionate about. It was always been this- reading, writing and speaking. It's also a way to keep my leaders updated of all that's happening to the church here in Kabacan; where the Spirit of God is leading us and what are some of the issues that needs to be addressed as it also resonates in the emphasis of each preaching I share. If you happen to read one of my blog posts feel free to co...

Bring them back to Repentance? IMPOSSIBLE

This message in Hebrews 6:4 to 6, can be a warning to 3 people: Those who ‘turned away from God”; Those who have not ‘turned away from God and; Those who know people who “turned from God”.   It stands as a warning to us.  Have we heard God’s voice and trembled? I don’t mean fear that keeps us from coming to God, but the kind of fear that is spoken in Proverbs as “the foundation of wisdom.” We fondly pray that God would speak to us and hear His voice but do we really know what we are praying? It reminded me of the Israelites who were at the foot of Mount Sinai. When they heard God’s thunderous voice, they did not dare come nearer and asked Moses to speak in their behalf (Deuteronomy 5:23-27). To quote Francis Chan, “When you pick up your Bible, you are actually holding something better than a voice coming out of a cloud on the top of a mountain.” So this warning must really create a Holy fear in us that will keep us from turning away from God. It ...

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,...
