1. To place our heart in our work
2. Find a reason to smile
3. Detach the mind and the heart

I settle for nothing less.

Vanity
the quality of being worthless and futile

Solomon was a wise man, he had everything – literally – from wealth, to women and wisdom.
Yet, we still lack something – aren’t we lacking something all the time?

I am learning to be satisfied, with my lot, with my being, with whatever I’ve been blessed with. It’s tiring to compare, to hope that you were some place better: yet I forget that I’m already blessed, that I’ve never been deserving, and that it’s always been Grace that has been keeping me (ironically) away, and now back to Him.

We learn to be satisfied, because He is sufficient, in all things.
And I am moved, at such a thought, strange what a Mocha Latte can do to you.

Our Cross to Bear

April 28, 2009

We all have our Crosses to bear. It is such that our human nature is plagued with sin and there are problems we face in our lives. The problem lies with sin, of course. But the greater problem that arises is self-righteousness. It’s when we start comparing on the concept of “who has more sin” that we start judging and placing ourselves on a higher plane than others. We are all, in some ways, flawed. We sin, like everyone else. But sometimes we’re just too blinded by our pride and the preconcevied notions in society to see that.

Need, not Want.

April 2, 2009

The need for reprieve and/or respite.
The need to breathe.
The need to smile.
The need to love.
The need for love.
The need for You to fix me.

Nobody Said It Was Easy

March 30, 2009

Oh take me back to the start.
(I’ll make it through this week, again.)

Me – EE – University

If I don’t bridge the link between University and I by conquering my EE, I don’t think I’ll get anywhere without my diploma! Seriously! Attending the Talks today left me feeling very absurd and I found my inner angst channeled towards my EE. It will be a mean EE, it must! Father Scholarship’s invalid I think, need to rely on other alternatives!

PS: My EE is an extension of my grades really. Applied across the board on the 6 subjects and bonus point components.
And I’m going to make it through the week alive. Watch me.

EDIT 11.21PM: Timejumper’s post set things in perspective, heh. Reduced EE angst and irrational convoluted thoughts ftw.

A Sombre Post

March 10, 2009

1. I realised that the statement People Change is an extremely flawed statement with multiple assumptions.
2. I’m too consumed by work to allow myself anytime to feel or to wallow in self pity.
3. Thank God for all of you who induce some form of laughter into my school life.
4. I’m scared and I’m sorry. (I don’t know if you would be reading this, but yes.)
5. EETOKIA sounds like Ethiopia

Because we lose ourselves and leave ourselves vulnerable to raw human emotion; That’s love.
(According to Siddhartha)

Oddities

February 23, 2009

I know of someone who goes shopping, and spends a few moments deciding when to try on clothes. After proceeding to trying on the garment, that person folds it and places it back! If only all customers were like that, and maybe it might just make the day of the salesperson.

Things that Make Me Smile #1

February 16, 2009

Given the intensity of this week… I think it’s timely if I do a Things that Make Me Smile post a day!

Balloons
Photobucket

As pointless as it sometimes seems, I enjoy buying balloons for people. I think looking at a helium balloon makes me smile for absolutely no reason at all. It’s under my list of happy looking things. I think all the sad people out there should start googling “helium balloons”, maybe it might just make your day.

(I think i have more than 7 things that make me smile, maybe, I’ll do more than one a day? heh)

Ok, back to some work.
