profile Walking by faith is something easy to say, but hard to do especially when things don't go as planned. But we try all the same, and I'm no exception. This blog is in some ways cathartic, in others a means for me to pen my thoughts and struggles as I walk this life and learn to trust God more with each passing day. tag archives May 2004 June 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 October 2004 November 2004 December 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 friends and credits skin by: Jane |

the state of my table  I like studying at home, because when i look up from the stack of notes that confuse me, these things on my table cheer my heart. The busiest of weeks, last week, finally ended. Not to say it's going to be a smooth ride from now, because the exams are just around the corner, too. But the idea is that if I could get through that week, I think the rubber band can be stretched a little more. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. This speaks to me lately. A lot of times negative thoughts slip into our minds, and before we know it they fester and stay there and grow at an unimaginable rate, until they affect the way we do things. I remember during the choir days in jc, where Ms Lim the conductor would always tell us, 'Mind over matter!' when our discipline with the notes and volume and harmony seemed to be waning. Might have stopped singing for some time, but the principle still stays... So while the exams come and Easter beckons, I need wisdom so much more, to manage my time and stay connected (not retreat into a cave like I'm prone too, zzz). Keep the joy despite circumstances - not the easiest thing to do, but it starts from the mind. Monday, March 23, 2009 @ 4:23 PM
perhaps this is what emo means 'That guy is so emo.' 'orh... she ah. the emo one right?' Always wondered what it means to be 'emo', because the word flies around as an adjective used to describe many. Maybe it means someone who is prone to lapses of silence, periods where their emotional state goes on an overdrive. Now it's week 12, one of those times where you simply have no time to indulge in 'emo-ness'. Yet I find myself suspiciously sinking into that state as unexpected events unfold, and stops the robotic self from taking over in the face of several presentations and reports due on the same week. Curious how the death of someone not related at all, yet somehow related derivatively could spark off a reaction like that. I was just on the brink of shelving all things social (read: retire into a cave to work) this week to save time... Sigh. I don't know the reason behind every single thing that happens around here, but still I turn to You, because there's noone else I can turn to for an answer. Monday, March 16, 2009 @ 7:30 PM
yes, i can *blows the dust off this page* A whole lot of things happened between the last entry and now - but right now I am just swarmed with deadlines as the semester draws to a close in about a month's time. What's new? I liked what Pastor Paul said yesterday, that when the top button of our coat is secure, the rest of the buttoning will follow smoothly - in other words, when our very first priority in life is set, whatever else we do will align naturally with that priority. With that, I should say yes, I can to weeks 11 to 15 of school, which will be very trying but nonetheless led by His help and grace. And as for this page... it hasn't been updated very regularly, but I will try. Blogging has been a sec 3 thing till now - 5 years, oh my. It's hard to completely leave it aside. |
