I'm not even surprise anymore that the Lord would reply in such clear a manner as this:  I woke up with a sense of panic this morning for the inability to be done with all that I have purposed to do yesterday and so I know that I will have to work triple time today.  But before I plunged into it, I remembered to give my spirit her breakfast.  Of all the devo links I could have clicked, it's this:  an apt response to my last entry... a page from Oswald Chamber's " My Utmost for His Highest."

Never protest by saying...

UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE!!! That's how the fandom of Twilight would say it! I should have listened to wits and nuts when she advised me to not start reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga unless I really have free time in my hands. Well, I was just gonna take a tiny peek on the first chapter but when I started reading, there was just no way I could put it down until after three days later when I read all the books; I mean that's not even surprising, what with the obsessive grip of books on me (yes, blame the books:) but you see, the story was something I would have enjoyed reading in late high school or maybe early college but 'goodness, did I read for days on end, all four books and the first 12 chapters of the fifth book (Midnight Sun) which I accidentally stumbled into while checking out the author's site! And then after I gobbled down all the books, I flipped the pages again and again to read my favorite parts; not yet satisfied, I went online and chec...

You would know that I've been spending too much time in friendster and other similar sites when you catch me getting all dreamy, sad, and thoughtful.  Like the other night, I accidentally ran into the friendster profile of an old classmate in college while commenting on a friend's picture.  Out of curiousity, I went in and spent the next hour checking out the albums.  I was amazed at the pictures rather the places where the pictures were taken.  I knew there would be pictures of UK cuz I knew that's where this classmate and his wife's been working, but I also saw Eiffel Tower, the St. Peter's Basilica, the Leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, Disneyland, views in Portugal and many other places.  After I gushed and drooled over the travel photos, I proceeded to take a look at his contacts, and of course I saw a few people there whom I knew back in college whose geographical locations were half a world removed from where we used to be.  So that got me thinki...

The shadow was crying in the front yard Ringing the bell forcing to come forward Her eyes are trying to look Heavenward But the lights were put out by the blizzard. Yet the sun will smile, when he comes tomorrow Hope, pierce this shadow with your sharpened arrow Storm, calm down! Or leave and let her be Be gentle with your chase, or you'll blow her away. Breathe, Oh day, life into this specter's lungs Hold out your hand, help this wraith to stand Stay away, Oh night, do not come with your shroud Or come with your full moon, keep watch of this phantom. . (Been talking to a friend recently and my mind was stumped and can't come up with any encouraging or profound advice to give to her. After the talk, this is the only thing I could come up with... a prayer. Btw, just in case i am misunderstood, you are not the shadow or the phantom,or the specter. rather, your love is. And you know what I mean. Again, thank you for the inspiration of your life....

I have been despairing at how laziness, listlessness, lack of energy, and panic have somewhat overtaken me at a time when I should be working double time for my coursework.  I have been telling my confidante how things have been going with me, and how I am panicking at the prospect of not being able to beat my deadlines.  Then last night I finished the book that I have been reading for my quiet times so I searched for a devotional from the net.  I came across something written by Chuck Swindoll that led me to read Job 3:1-26.  I had to laugh because, I was on the verge of doing just what Job did in that chapter.  At many points in my life, I have sensed the Lord's good humor.  While reading Job 3, I almost can hear Him chuckling and grinning at me.  Well, Job 3 is of course not a laughing matter, far from it, actually.  But with my frame of mind, it was just the thing I needed to smile and stop pitying myself.  And then I searched again, and...

an underlined phrase on a yellowing page of a book a word scribbled on a dry leaf pressed between the pages of an old journal a cluster of stars as you look up the midnight sky a scar on your left elbow, a scene in a movie a scent worn by a stranger who brushed past you at the mall the back of someone turning a bend stories in your heart, memories. a place that brings back happy times a picture that fetches lonely tears a thought that lights up your countenance a laugh that reminds you of a face a song that leads you back to the past a love that has left you, memories. finished, done, over, ended no going back, no redemption dead, wrecked, terminated, through cannot love, yet cannot unlove so live, thrive, in my memories past...
