sddjhiag agjhfuit afvndsvihe
Actually, I do not know what title i should use for this entry. Basically, i have no good idea at all... So bear with me =)
This is my second attempt to write this entry thanks to the instability of IE plus maybe MS. Oh well, i hope i could still recall what I've written hours earlier... =P
Here:
Well, ummm...
Academically speaking, i bet you'd expect me to say this but i'll say it anyway: I'm still behind. But slowly, like a turtle, I'm catching up. Better late than never or at least better make it this way than end up purely cramming when papers start coming in. Oh well... I can't wait for May!!!! BTW, 3rd of May is the last day for my finals! Hehe... I want May! May! May!
Wups! Yah... May because by that time i'll finally see people i've never seen in my entire life! Lovely people that is, because they're my relatives ^_^. And it's homeward bound! I miss home! I miss my family! I miss Davao! Dang! I direly miss the place. Even though Davao streets are less urbanized than Singapore's, trust me, I'd prefer having a glance of her streets rather than stroll around the trully first world streets... Well, Kor and I had enough of that! I mean, we already took our time wandering around this country unintentionally... Nothing like getting lost again and again...haha... it was quite a walking adventure though, like a normalized thing on our part ^_^... Okay back to the Davao streets... I surely miss 'em; i'll never forget the times when i just loiter around the places... Davao is relatively safe compared to other cities in the Phil... or maybe at least i don't look like a potential victim...harhar... more like the criminal! eheh... Oh well! I will wait, my Lord will wait with me too =)... SO hopefully, the waiting isn't waiting at all! =)
Oh, I'd also like to share about what I've learned from my church hours ago... TRUST GOD IN EVERYTHING, THEN ENJOY LIFE!... There's much to it than just that! Ask Solomon how he made researches in his life (read Ecclesiastes), and what are his findings. It is interesting to know that people nowadays are no different from the people in Solomon's time (that meant thousands of years ago), because people still search for the same kind of thing in this life. I mean, human nature never really changed, the things that changed are the way we try to satisfy ourselves, but the need/want for this something and the drive of looking for this are basically the same. Thanks to Solomon for setting himself as an example of someone finding due satisfaction from money, all forms of pleasure, women and other worldly pursuits; indeed, he tried everything to his ruin i guess... I don't know what will happen to Solomon after turning to other gods, but maybe i'll know someday although it wouldn't be much of my business by then... Well, I guess one important thing to learn is that we can never find unlimited peace/satisfaction in this limited world and limited understanding for some bigger reason/picture that we cannot comprehend yet. But just trust in our Lord =). He perfectly knows what He is doing; He sees what's in the end... Besides, the end doesn't justify the means, but one thing is certain, the end is surely for our ultimate good. It would weigh manifold than all the possible means of getting there combined =)... Isn't He mysteriously wonderful? I think so! =) We just let Him! and then we enjoy this life (while trusting Him =) )...
CARPE DIEM!
