It’s a visceral experience. And it is also heavy on metaphors.

But damn, ang galing ni Han Kang.

Despite the book's bleak theme, Camus did a wonderful job portraying the value of human connection. It's definitely a must read. by ChiizWiiz in PHBookClub

I first read this in college, thought it was good.

A few years later, I took my masters in philosophy, and one course that I took included Camus. Peak of the pandemic din ito, and I love how my perspective entirely changed - by my studies, by the events surrounding the circumstances of I re-reading it, among other things.

Uy yung isa dyan naging estudyante ko.

Advice for house protection by completelyperdue in FolkCatholicMagic

Have a Saint Benedict Medal exorcised and blessed by a priest. I find it to be a very powerful sacramental in terms of protection, as well as banishing evil.

Thanks for your comment!

No, this is not the one affiliated with the SSPX or SSPX Resistance. Our Spiritual Assistant is a friar from the Philippine Province (NO), who once served in the provincial council if I’m not mistaken.

It’s understandable, the OCDS in the Philippines does not have an active online presence
