Whatever You want…
Nobody can ever imagine how hard I prayed not for what I want but what ought to be. It was because somehow I knew deep inside that it was just me pushing for things to go my way, I was just too cowardly to shift gears and do a reverse.
But still, I still got a [...]
My six impossible things before breakfast.
“Alice laughed: “There’s no use trying,” she said; “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
One of the conversations I love from Alice. [...]
More crosses.
Somehow I felt surprised that it still came as a shock when I learned that my visa had been denied. Redundant, yarr. Anyway, the day after my last post I got the visa application result, and yeah, I’ve been denied. Did I say that I was silently asking for it? My gosh, this is one [...]
Painting eternity
And the year will end with another Curie passing away.
Two great artists. Shels and Ramil.
I can just imagine them, magkakamustahan dun. Talking about their art. Haaay.
It is in times like this that we need to pray for more Faith. Because really, we can never ever fully understand God’s ways. Like how two promising people, with [...]
Awakening Hope
Waiting for something that you really really want can be excruciatingly hard. As in. Super.
Yesterday, I attended mass at Our Lady of Hope. They have a guest priest whom I find utterly amusing because he just kept on singing lines from different songs, inserting it into his homily. And i thought, he must have been [...]
Contradictions are like cherries atop my sweet life :D
I had such a lousy weekend
A friend did something that I didn’t like (*I hope she didn’t mean it).
A friend just doesn’t LISTEN. It can get tiring (*I hope she gets to her senses soon).
Someone made me wait for 3 hours, made me drive to and fro, got me lost somewhere, emptied my [...]
Breathe. Peace.
I have this tendency to overthink, and I had been very sensitive to many things, like the reason behind acting-as-if-nothing-happened. I just felt disturbed that this was possible. And I also felt paranoid that this person is still doing (=present tense) what he/she did to me.
Am I being plastic, helping and being kind to this [...]
THE final appointment
Tonight marks the beginning of the season of Advent. I have always thought of Christmas getting nearer and nearer when I hear the word “advent”. But the season of advent as celebrated by the church doesn’t just mean that Christmas is coming–a time for endless parties, reunions, exchange gifts, delicious foods, and the like. Yes, [...]
To rejoice in your weaknesses.
I am happy because God sustains my weak moments. He wants our miseries to be the throne of his mercy. He desires that our powerlessness be the throne of his mercy. –St. Augustine
I feel like a dormant seed in the desert.
An “ember under a snow”.
“He hath overcomed the world”
Last Friday night, I watched 2012 with Lerrie. And it was just amazing how the gospels starting the next day seemed to perfectly match the concept of the movie–the end of days. I wonder if the showing the movie was actually timed so as to fit the ending of the Church’s liturgical year, which coincidentally [...]
