At last, the weekends have arrived. haha. there are just way too many thoughts filling my mind i feel almost suffocated at times. i seriously feel like i should start reading again... its as if im losing the ability to express myself in writing, like ive got so much to say but the words are just not coming out right. it leaves me feeling a little shitty,most times id end up doing away with the idea of blogging altogether because it seems almost too time consuming, and the routine of school life that im caught up in doesnt give very much time. so there you go, perhaps that might explain the failure to update... i think writing is something ive always enjoyed. i think words hold the key to a person's heart,a most powerful channel through which we use to express our thoughts and emotions.i dont wanna lose this voice.

my heart's screaming for a clearer perspective about where my life is going, im the type of person who would spend hours just thinking about the same thing and allowing the same thoughts to run in my head untill either im tired of facing what i cannot resolve or it just doenst matter to me anymore. or it does, i just dont think its worth my time.ive been held back by doubts and overwhelmed by uncertainty, pulled down by fear and wiped out by insecurity,all of it eventually leading back to the reality that i dont know myself as much as i thought i did. i thought i could see every intricate detail that motivated my every action, i thought i knew fully well who i was and i didnt need anybody to tell me otherwise. in fact, i thought that i didnt like to be me, it just became a sort of chore having to smile at the world and laugh away the sillyness of life as if id make nothing of it when i really did.like i didnt care what people think, and they thought it would matter when it does. there are a thousand thoughts racing through my head, fighting for attention. consumed by wants and slapped by needs, overwhelmed with commitment and responsibility but effectively tempted by fatal,brief spurts of enjoyment. satisfication meets longing in the wrong place and time altogether. questions that never seem to have an answer.

i have the key to unlocking a solution to all these problems.we all do. i just wish we wouldnt lose it so often.

hold my hand and walk with me
wipe these tears from my eyes and set me free
for i know none would understand
but if there will be one
if there will be one to hold this hand.

SUP! ive finally managed to like, squeeze a little time out for an update. anyways... school's been good, i think even with the amount of projects and assignments tht are piling up along the way,i think what catches me the most is how god comes into the picture and throws in a little surprise every now and then and it just perks me up...its gives an incredible sense of encouragment to know tht all i ever needed was to take some time out of routine and look at the little things the lord's blessed me with in my life... i think its just sad, how some of us get caught up in routine,chasing meaning but often just resigning ourselves to the thought tht life was confined to just this, and this alone.we set restrictions for ourselves and never dared to think that there could be a greater meaning to the life that you're living now.

oh and one other thing.

how long has it been? six months now? i finally stepped into the basketball court again today.
and it felt so different, it was almost as if ive changed so much all this time, i dont know how i could best describe it for you-but it meant something to me,absolutely.well hey, ive got some work to catch up,and trust me,ive got loads to tell but i'll just save it for laters and not sound like im in a rush and everything.untill then... ive got some annnouncements! VERY IMPORTANT.

I might be making a switch to Wordpress,untill then please stay tuned cus i'll post the new address here if i do...and even then please please change your links accordingly okay? hahahaha.

im writing a new song! :D

urm...urm.. okay,thats about it la.

miss me!

ive been dying to update,but blogger just doesnt like me laaaaa. sad! :(
now it does, but a little less cus its not allowing me to do anything about my entry still. but hey, it lets me post so....yea,there you go- im here :D

where do i start where do i start where do i start?! rah,so many things,so many days,so many thoughts i cant seem to gather and put down just yet.wait till i settle into the weekend la, i'll have more to write then. hahah.

the week's been average, nothing really jaw dropping happened that deserves a mention or two here, hahahahaha. or at least not that i can remember at the momment.

well hey, GY-ians-really proud of my seniors for stepping out to try and bring Ultimate Frisbee into NP as a CCA- i think we have something really big going on here,and we're right on the verge of making history, what an exciting momment to be a part of! we're in the midst of getting approval, so all of you reading- please please keep us in your prayers, that this will happen and we'll make it really really big, its gonna be a hit! however it turns out, i think it'll be something for all of us to remember, but either hows, we'd like to see it come through!

i'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned

In awe of the one who gave it all

I'll stand my soul lord to You surrendered

All i am Yours

those were the wounds by which he bled

those were the tears of sorrow that he shed

our sins pinned our king on that cross

out of love he chose to bear that cost

For is it not you,o god that first chose to give us life,that in your death we could recieve it in full?

My prayer's that even as i settle into my third week at NP, i'll begin to see a greater measure of god moving in my life, for that faith to arise in believing that i will stand for the lost as a pastor in my marketplace. the scenes from this video(it is a lil explicit, i know. hehs.) were taken from 'Passion of the Christ', and i think Jesus' act of love aptly defined the word PASSION. Even as i was taking some time out from my assignments to watch this, i caught this idea again of what passion really is. it is a little more than what the world defines it by. and that little bit makes all the difference in the world!

Passion is more than just holding onto something so tightly just because you believe in it, it is actually finding it in you to do something about what you are passionate about.And within the context of my life i gues what the lord's trying t say is that i should take that step out of my zone of comfort and move in the measure of his love into my marketplace.

And so i pray, that in your spirit will i have that boldness to move wherever you call.
