Raining poetry.
Hm....
maybe life isn't so paranoid after all.
Maybe things aren't so bad after all.
Maybe people AREn't that bad after all.
Maybe the storm outside is ok as long as there is peace within.
Maybe, maybe.
If pigs were made to fly,
And horses made to swim,
And fish made to run,
Or lions made to bleat,
Or donkeys made to talk,
Maybe, maybe.

ichiban beach nature resort
being satisfied and contented in the new environment but i am craving or hoping to go to a BEACH RESORT. any time. for just a few days.
Lord, give me a chance to go to a nice and relaxed beach resort with blue skies and sea, dried-leaf attap roofs, birds, fsh, trees, cool sunrises and sunsets, sea smell. occasional breeze. nice friends around.
nothing much profound to say but i do not really miss my old job(s). thats about it. thats supposed to be good eh. but i am figuring out my new purpose in this new one. hoping to pick up new language(s). at least things are simple here.
As for readings, i'm hoping to read thru Ephesians. I really wonder where Ephesus was. or the church of ephusus. it must have been a beautiful place. well actually i've been to that place. heh. I wonder why the writer wrote what he wrote to the people there...how interesting. i love literature!
Oh and i had a great time laughing my head and heart out (about people) in the car today on the way to cell group....with a bunch of girls (oops! one of them who is our cell leader, is a guy). what a riot.

what i wanna say....
before i leave the co. i have tons of stuff in my head. i honestly honestly wanna stay longer from my heart. i have so much things to build on, to do, to say, to ask. but if there's another place that God (we all have to depend on Him of course) wants me or u to be, and there's a big need there.....come on......why stay in the comfortable place?
why? why? why?
and i admit this IS the place of comfort, of shelter, of luxury i mean come on!! if u call it....why on earth am i leaving this place to go to a dessert? a dessert with no cactuses even!! not a single plant.....like moses. but i constantly am reminded by (again, mentioning His name) God, that every single month counts wherever i am. Where is the greater need?
and i wanna tell the person in the office who always repeatedly asks the same questions, pause and hear your workers' hearts.
emails CAN be positive. people are still attempting to make connections, for whatever (good or bad) reasons. look at the big picture. also, win us over.
why? why? why?

tired of being mentally tired
indeed....it's gotta be a lifestyle change from now on. i gotta sleep a bit earlier and wake up a bit earlier. no i am not in NIE. thank God. its not that early as their waking time. i'm sick and tired of my lack of sleep. my mood swings on fridays have been very fantastic too....because the lack of sleep accumulates on fridays. so. here's the change.
and no i'm not fierce, i'm not angry i'm not offended.
i need to find my niche in this world.
Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
my place in this world, my place in this world
Not a lot to live for
I need Your light to help me find my place in this world
my place in this world....

one Praise...makes up for the monetary?
If anything can have better effect than monetary rewards, its PRAISE from your colleagues or superiors, even subordinates. Finallly, i hear the words "you're hardworking what" from the supervisors at lunch summore today.....boosts the self esteem eh. despite knowing the reason why they're saying that :
(which is to retain me....ahem....no...its to lessen the workload with the group now which gets truly chaotic, uncoordinated, disorganised, chaotic.....in the office....though not forgetting funny at times).
ahh well being young, i beg to differ to the notion "a rolling stone gathers no moss". even my senior colleague (Mr Frankie...a jovial retiree, 57) told us "This statement is not true! In fact, more jobs mean more experiences of different industries and cultures and people". That totally assured me. hahahaha. i mean, seriously.....even if for the first 3 years of a graduate's working life is about job-hopping, i as a HR hirer wouldn't mind at all. Because i would understand their mentality, which was 1) to adjust to the working world 2) to find out where they truly fit in (industry-wise). i am happy to say i'm really happy in my present job but i need the monetary thing for now.....i THINK.
i wouldn't really advice applying this mentality to dating of course.....but then again....ok maybe observing from a distance before Jumping into an exclusive relationship might be safer. but if God says or speaks clearly to both parties that's a different thing.

Feeling left out? Or worthless?
Trust me, if in this life, we haven't once faced self-doubt or felt insecure, we aren't human.
But why do these emotions exist?
Go deeper, ask ourselves heart questions like
Why do i feel this way? Keep asking why till you get to the root of the problem
Was it a past event that triggered the same negative emotions?
Why does the comment or situation it affect you?
Is the comment EVEN True? or half truths?
The root problem is:
Forgetting WHO we are - we are FIRST a child of God.
Then NEXT, will come our popularity or careers.
Our identities do not lie in the opinion of man (people, who are here today, gone tomorrow).
Our identities do not lie in our status. (careers, look at the current economic crisis)
We forget who we really are. We start believing we are who our critics say we are, or our friends, or our culture, or our feelings, or the devil.
A life that matters is anchored in the identity given us by the God who made us, who sent His Son to die for us. He died for you and for me, WHILE we were sinners. Imagine that! When He (God) was so holy and we were in our sin, He wanted to die for you and i.
He says, ‘I will be a Father to you and you will be My sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:16, 18). See, He’s the King of kings. If you belong to Him through Jesus, you are the son of the King, daughter of the King;
No matter how you feel, how you’ve been treated, what names you’ve been called or what others think about you. You are the temple He lives in, you are His royal son or daughter, you are His purchase of blood.
