tin's bridal shower

tin is my best friend in the whole wide world, and i was her maid of honor (matron of honor :p) during her wedding, so naturally all signs point to me as the one responsible for her bridal shower. i actually had a lot in mind about how i would plan and execute her shower, but my crammer self got the best of me, and all the pretty pink souvenir boxes remained in my dreams. :p 

pero we had so much fun nonetheless, and i wasn't stressed about any program at all. hehe. we just had a fun dinner filled with chismisan and talks about human nature. hehehe. nagawa pa nga namin syang isuprays!

suprays!!!

changes schmanges

in all my years of existence, I've never experienced insomnia. until last night. apparently coffee now works really well in keeping me awake. I've switched to decaf for my twice a day dose of coffee, so last night when i had real grownup brewed coffee, i was up till 4am. *droopy eyes* now it's 1030am, and I'm not sleepy anymore but my head's heavy like a baby. 

so there goes my rant about switching to decaf, but gail can't be prouder. he has turned into a big advocate of not being caffeine-dependent; i sense a slight satisfaction in him about my insomniac bout last night, it being proof that caffeine is now foreign to me.

going decaf is a big change for me, among other things. how's everybody? 

back when my hair was shorter and my body more tolerant of caffeine

AGAINST LOGIC

God works amazingly beautiful and beautifully amazing. He takes us by surprise and gives us presents we never thought we would get. But we take them, with much thankfulness and awe. After that a question might be asked, “What do I do God? With this gift?” The answer does not really need to be waited for, because we know that we would find a way to use whatever God gave to glorify Him. So amid wide-eyed amazement, things are rationalized and used so that the world would understand. The love God gives to each of us is personal and almost unfathomable. But we understand, and we share that.

I REMEMBER

I remember one person told me, “You’re waiting for a fairy tale,” and I immediately answered, “Ya I am.” After hearing such, I was dismissed as someone who would live my life with my hands on my face and my eyes to the sky. I am a believer in destiny, in someone for someone.

WHY I LIKE ROCK

I have heard the best, most socially-relevant lyrics in songs that have “loud and noisy” music. Amid the mind-boggling, messages emanate. That is music.

REALITY

Like a squeezed heart

Slowly loosened

By the hand

That has held it forever

Is my squeezed heart

Slowly loosened

By the hand that has held it forever.

IT’S BEEN AGES

It’s been ages since I wrote a song. Maybe because I’ve been hearing music even without the radio on. *buzz buzz*

I’M A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY!

You never stop learning. You get satisfied, then disappointed. You have to choose to get up and work. It’s a beautiful cycle that you go through. Before you know it, you’re high above your old self.

PERFECT GOD

God has this perfect way of keeping His relationship with us. When you’re on the edge, you draw closer. And just before you fall, He responds. Generally, it’s when you’re on your knees. You see His glory and highness – the very thing that makes you hold on to the truth that is salvation. It happens every single day. I want that. I want to get saved every day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Every single day.

ps: Zuihitsu is a genre of Japanese literature consisting of loosely connected personal essays and fragmented ideas that typically respond to the author's surroundings. The name is derived from two Kanji meaning "to follow" and "brush", and thus works of the genre should be considered not as traditionally planned literary pieces but rather as casual or randomly recorded thoughts by the authors. (thank you wikipedia, and that's our literature lesson for the day.)
