First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of activity on this blog recently. Work has been piling up lately, and I also have some “issues” in my own personal life which I need to discern and think over really, REALLY thoroughly. (prayers appreciated!)

Personal problems aside, I’ve also been busy with blog reading (and listening to podcasts, of course). Most of the blogs I’m reading (particularly Catholic ones) are written by Americans or Europeans. Seems that the general western community is more net-savvy and are more ready to share their thoughts with the rest of the world. Asians on the other hand, tend to be more “shy” or reserved. But still, if you really look hard enough, you do come across some gems along the way.

One such “gem” is Catholic Writings (rss) by Daniel Tay (a.k.a. Catholic Writer). Daniel is an author and a journalist for Catholic News (Singapore). He’s even written a book, Befriending Jesus. Daniel writes about life as a Catholic in Singapore (hurray!). He also posts some reviews of books, movies, hangouts and food. I’m particularly impressed by his latest 3-part series of questions and answers on the Eucharist:

• In what way is the Eucharist a sacrifice?
• In what way is the Eucharist a meal?
• In what way is the Eucharist a story?

If you’re curious about Catholics in Singapore, you’ll probably enjoy reading Catholic Writings.
