it's gone through everything with me.. the good times and the bad
and it has always been faithful in being there when i needed time alone

*teary eyed

take the extra effort to guard the windows to your soul
The eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. And yesterday, within the span of 1hr, i cannot underscore the amount of detritus that television promotes or is made up of. I can safely say the rubbish-0-meter in my head has good up by a good 12% and that's a lot considering it was just 1hr of TV. So like what Pastor Cameron said on sat at Bible class.. no matter how silly you look just look away immediately. Cause even a few seconds will cause you to stumble. And I can safey say I have been diligently looking away and i havent stumbled for a few weeks now ;] Hey everyone stumbles right? We just got to make the effort to nip the sin at the bud and go out of your way to make the change.

When you stop working a muscle it dies.
When you stop feeding your sin it dies the same way.

i was just thinking about this yesterday. . .
I have long believed that part of our problem with resolving race issues in America is our inability to accurately name what we are. Aside from the occasional Johnny and Edgar Winter, there are no white people. Any child with a box of crayons can tell you that white people are, in fact, beige. The sickly ones are gray. Following this crayon logic, one can easily see that there are really no black people. They are brown. Or perhaps raw umber. Or maybe burnt sienna. Frankly, every time I hear someone comment on America’s first black president, I can’t help thinking, “No, he’s not. He’s more like caramel.” Which is why I think we should all get in the habit of calling each other what we really are. How can you racially slur a man by calling him “beigey” or “umber?” The answer is you can’t. Because that’s exactly what he is. The melanin doesn’t lie. Buy a box of Crayolas and see for yourself. We are all members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Can I hear a kumbaya?

hi. i'm a boy. here's how it goes; i'm gonna flirt with you, then diss you. i'll send you mixed messages, hit on your friends, lie to you. then i will lead you on so you fall for me. i'll make you happy for a night, but tomorrow i'll completely ignore you. you'll be the one i turn to when i need a friend, or a confidence boost. know what the best part is? you can't do anything about it, because you love me. and you don't want to loose me. ha.

who needs friends when you have sistas ;p

20 November 2010
guy: there's just one thing I'd change about you...
girl: what's that?
guy: your last name.


Is it fallacious that I've already started to think about marriage. I went with Rui Shan to watch a choir performance last Sunday called the "Wild At Heart" and there was a children's choir that was involved in it as well.. As I watched the children perform I started to cry but of course I did it with discretion else people would question my sanity haha anyways.. Well I cried because...suddenly this surge of maternal feelings just inundated my whole being and I was like
" hey.. one day I'm going to be here in amongst the crowd with my husband's arm around my shoulder as we proudly watch our child performing up on stage.". And i just teared so much with joy and expectation. I don't know how to elucidate myself perspicuo
usly without sounding like a total dweeb. But i mean, hey at some point in time these feelings were gonna kick in right? I guess mine was just sooner than later.
And like every time I see husbands and wives being so besotted with each other, i yearn for the day I can experience likewise.. Lately everything in church is about setting ourselves apart and keeping ourselves pure.. Today at Bible study i learnt something that was plumb eye-opening. --> That to attain holiness there is two parts...
1. To be SEPARATED from the world
and most importantly
2. To be JOINED unto God
[i.e through worship; prayer; meditation on the Word]
See being separated from the world is just part of it, we also have to ensure we're feeding our spirit man and to stop exerci
sing our sins in order to put them to death. Just like if you stop working your muscles they will atrophy.
[I was not digressing. I merely stated all of that because
once at 'dating or waiting' seminar i heard that we should stop looking for the one and start working on being the one. So that we're ready when God's time for us to settle down with that special someone comes.]
Like last Sunday's sermon was so timely and it really was an apt message.. about the colossal difference between intimacy and sex. Well the sermon was entitled
'A Disciple's Love Life'.

See the difference.. There's this bond that is forged between husband and wife and they ''know'' each other.. Like in Genesis 4:1, where it stated Adam knew Eve and then she conceived.. So it's like the union between the two is a close association and a deep connection in the spirit.Which is the Hebrew meaning of the word knew (YADA). The way we behave around people is the way people will behave around us, and the way we dress and portray ourselves as well. So if we don't respect ourselves the opposite gender will do likewise.

If we don't have a vision we are living without restraint.






but most importantly, His grace will carry us through ;D

apenas siente a veces la manera demasiado insustancial
17 November 2010
Staring at tears on the pages
Of letters that I never could write
Now I know love isn't painless, but its
worth the risk, it's worth the fight
Playing it over and over
I wish that I could turn back time,
We were wrong, but we could be right

Why do we say things we can't take back
Why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
Why do you tend to forget whose vain
I'm tired of crying out at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around, love ain't the enemy
Don't you want to be lost then found

Empty glasses on tables, echoes fill these rooms
The memories go where we go, they're like the suitcase that you never lose
If the good Lord's eyes are upon me
I swear to make things right
Whatever we lost, i know we can find

No words can come without
Can't stop the rain, I wish you could take it back
But it's too late, it's too late

We could be lost then found..

You know. With this not having school and all. I think I've come up to a higher level in my intellectual-ness. After some unfathomable thinking and meticulously sorting out the brain things in my head.. let me pose you a question.

Who did, in fact, let the dogs out?

As some of you guys know.. i sat for my SAT s today ;D I had to wake up at 5 ish to get ready and head down to ACJC in Dover. Reached at like 7 ish.. There were so many people. Well I was so adrenalized! We sat for it in the school's badminton hall which was like freezing cold..I was like a cricket, rubbing my legs together. The whole thing was putative to be like 3 hours and 45 mins.. BUT it went for like over 5 ish hours! Like 3/4s of the way through the obstreperous hunger and pee pangs started to kick in ;p My stoic Papa and sister waited outside to pick me up cause we couldn't bring any electronic devices at all, but of course there were a few odious rebels. Well thank GOD it went mega well ;] and I feel accomplished in the greatest extreme. All that copious amount of studying and praying really paid off. My wanting to go to the U.S was also a penchant that kept me going when I felt i was about to crack. Come to think of it the proclivity of going to the U.S has actually help spur me on in quite a few things. ;D Well when I came home I fell asleep, incognizant, on the couch right after lunch. And woke up at 9.. which was about a 4 hour nap? haha

i am so sick of studying. i know that there's only two more papers left but it seems like eternity more so now compared to before it started. I'm just too tired and too zonked out to continue. Man I wish i was more academically inclined. I've worked so hard for the past two years but it doesn't show proof in my results and it's so frustrating when I'm blamed for not putting in enough effort. Argh. Well obviously this is a study-rant post.

Albert Einstein once said, " Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work begins."

I guess you can only find unfeigned joy when you actually delve into the intricacies of something that really drove your mind into questioning it's rudimentary-ness if i can put it that way.

well this was a thought of the moment type post.
