oldie but a goodie
its slowly and rudely dawning on me how truly old i am. the yawning chasm called generation gap between my niece and i is enough proof that time has sneakily passed me by.
so there i was hanging out in my 13 year old niece's room, pretending to be a rockstar and doing a guitar duet with her. she was the one who taught me the cords (and how to play) ( Read more... ) -
Derailed
For some weird reason, I like staring at people's faces. Startling blue eyes, punkheads, people passing by, man and woman holding hands, man and man holding hands, a precocious toddler inside an elevator, people crying at the airport. These things evoke a nostalgic emotion in me. My first tendency is to stare into a person's eyes, especially if she ( Read more... ) -
God in my life
I'm so grateful to have God in my life. I look at my previous blogs and I'm amazed at how different I am now. There's a concept I learned from mabur, about phantom limbs.
A phantom limb is the sensation that an amputated or missing limb (even an organ, like the appendix) is still attached to the body and is moving appropriately with other body parts ( Read more... ) -
Awake (again) for 30 hours
Cjey arrived yesterday. Weee! Went to pick her up. Wrong airport. Ate at market! market! with cjey and moki. 1st time at Ocean Park. Weee! Met up with Sheng in Greenbelt. Waited for Janice. Ate the night away. Slept while the rest sang their hearts out videoke. Sang one song: Papa don't preach. Weee! Ate. Again. Went home. Still awake. Now sleepy ( Read more... ) -
Hardcore Miracle
i have never in my life stopped believing in miracles. i knew they came in big and small packages alike.
but i figured that when Jesus multiplied the loaves of bread, He was present, He was there to make it happen. that in our present day in time, miracles still happen but in a somewhat diluted version. like, a baby's birth. or maybe you're lacking ( Read more... ) -
Random Late Night Thoughts
there's something comforting about hearing my dad snore while i'm staying up late surfing the net. the house gets quiet, deafeningly quiet during nightime and hearing my dad grumble in his sleep oblivious to the tv's noise is amusing background music ( Read more... ) -
belated happy fathers day
my bestfriend in the whole wide world is my DAD. i've had several people in my life call me bestfriend and i've tagged them the same. but my dad is the one who has always always been there and has loved me unconditionally. regardless of what a brat i can be. (my designated bff jenny has called me a brat once during our college years).
he's always ( Read more... ) -
More positive thinking
From Og Mandino's The Greatest Mystery in the World.
'The wise saying, "As I think in my heart so I am" not only embraces the whole of my being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of my life. I am literally what I think, my character being the compete sum of all my thoughts.
I am made or unmade by myself; in ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
you know how we say we want to move forward and forget our bad experiences? we make grandiose statements, we tell our good friends all about it, we paste huge smiles on our faces and think we are okay. we deny so much that we fool even ourselves. i don't know how far 'positive thinking' can bring us when deep inside we are still affected.
well...i' ( Read more... )
