I am a graduate from York University with an Honours B.A. in Communication Studies. I worked as the official assistant sports writer with the varsity team, York University Lions. Additionally, I contribute articles to Excalibur. I manage my own sports blog and conduct interviews with football (soccer) lovers. Football is my passion! At present, I am a freelance journalist looking for a full-time position at an established publishing company :)
"I'm spiritual, not religious." Apparently, this quote hit Western culture like a wave in the 60s. I'm not sure how popular this sentence is now, but it surely was a common saying among Christians until (at least) five years ago. It basically serves as a defense against perceptions that Christianity is weird and extreme.
"I don't know how you do it, Jus. I'm not that brave." Recently, I had the opportunity to catch up with an old friend. We talked about several things that eventually led to a discussion of my current ministry. As I told him stories of my encounters with various students and non-Christians, he told me...
I've had the urge to write about the "three-dimensional" life for a long time. I've even considered the possibility of writing a book about this one day (but I'll wait till I grow older and wiser =D ). Let me preface this by saying that I am not a seasoned scientist nor philosopher.
(Pre-note: I have no doubt there are many articles with similar titles to this one. However, recent revelations have led me to consider this a theme for these couple of months.) "If God answers prayers, why didn't He answer mine?" Whether your request is highly crucial or small and insignificant, we've all had this question...
Soccer
Let's get one thing straight: York rocks at soccer. Just like the much lauded men's team, the women's team shows great promise. The team took an important step towards an OUA title with a 3-0 blowout of rivals McMaster on October 22.
The No. 2 nationally ranked York University Lions men's soccer team extend their winning streak after a 4-0 victory over the Waterloo Warriors on Sunday (Oct. 12). With the win, the Lions clinched first place in the OUA West Division standings for the eighth straight year and have secured a first round bye in the playoffs.
Basketball

Volleyball
The York Lions women's volleyball team lost to the number five CIS ranked University of Toronto Varsity Blues in four sets on November 16 at the Tait McKenzie Centre. The first set was a close run. Toronto won narrowly 32-30. York replied with a 25-18 win in the second set.

For this cover, I made an all-electronic recording. This means that I did not use any live instruments or sound effects. For the drums, I took samples both online and from Jam Packs and combined them into a single beat. For the synthesizer parts, I used my USB MIDI M-Audio Keystation 49.
It's been a while! 2014... I realized I haven't written in quite a while... I have no excuses whatsoever. I can say that I have more time, now that it's already summer for me! Wow, third year has just passed...
