Joy to the World

Our Savior is born.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!:)

just like the wise men

Let's offer the best gift we can give to Jesus this Christmas -- our life.

... for wise men still follow Him today:)

Wise men still follow

Baby Jesus born in Bethlehem
Baby Jesus born to save all men
I have come to crown you King
I give my all my everything

How foolish I would be to turn away
For wise men still follow you today


Baby Jesus born in Bethlehem
Baby Jesus born to save all men
I have come to crown you King
I give my all my everything

How foolish I would be to turn away
For wise men still follow you today

December 21, 2006. Four days before Christmas.

We had our Christmas party today. Our last, in MaSci. Sad though, we have to accept it. In less than four months we'll be leaving this institution. :(

I enjoyed our party. Who would not? Nini had a great dating game (congratulations to Leo...*haha*), Miss Gay 2006 was a bliss (you guys look good on your clothes! congratulations to Jan!:)*laugh out loud*), we had fun games, enough food to eat, and many more reasons to enjoy...

Everything worked out very well until...

You see, I thought everything's fine with me already. For quite a long time I should have recovered from this quandary. Still, I find myself in the midst of dejection which I hope will turn out to be temporary.

Heavy-hearted, I searched for my friend. A shed of tears paved the way to ease the pain. Abi, saved me again. She can never get out of my system for it will always search for her. I did not tell her the cause of this sudden outburst. She listened as I sob. She was there, that's enough.

I spent the rest of the day with her and with the einstein people (again, thanks guys!). They treated me nicely as if I am really part of their group. I guess, that's something I should be greatful for.With such joy, I forgot about what happened hours before.

I need to rest.

Someday, everything's gonna be completely fine.

I'll keep the faith.

someday

Someday you'll gonna realize

One day you'll see through my eyes

But then i won't even be there

I'll be happy somewhere

Even if i can't I know

You dont really see my worth

You think your the last guy on earth

Well i've got news for you

I know i'm not that strong

But it won't take long

Won't take long

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me

The way, i want you to need me

Someday, someone's gonna take your place

One day i'll forget about you

You'll see, i won't even miss you

Someday, someday

But now I know you can't tell I'm down,

and i'm not down anyway

But one day these tears

They will all run dry

I won't have to cry Sweet goodbye

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me

The way, i want you to need me Someday,

someone's gonna take your place

One day i'll forget about you

You'll see, i won't even miss you

Someday, someday

the night's mine.

For a moment, I desired intenseley for a rest.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the wooden stage of our school's auditorium. The first person I saw (in a hazy vision) was Aika, who happened to be sleeping beside me... I finally realized that I, too, fell asleep.

And at this very moment, I still long for a slumber. Hah, but I know the night's melancholy has a lot to offer. Contemplation.

I need a cup of coffee.

to a faithful servant

To have friends who are in love with God is really a blessing. They are the persons whom I can really call true friends. They have inspired and changed my life in more ways than one.

In less than 24 hours, Kuya Nante will be leaving for States. He's been kind, sweet and dear to eveyone. He has been a special part of our family. I will never forget him because he was the one who taught me a lot of things about worship leading. Truly, his life has been a living testimony of God's undying love.

Many will surely miss him. I, myself will really miss him.

Wherever life takes Kuya Nante, I believe that God will always make great things for his faithful servant. :)


To Kuya Nante: We love you! May God be with you always:)

just when i thought it'll be fine

I arrived at our house exactly 3pm. Nobody's home except my six goldfishes swimming around the aquarium.

Silence.

I'm all alone.

Then I decided what to do about this thing I've been dwelling for days now.

Yet a minute ago, something stopped me from doing it.

Coldness.

Apathy.

Why?

I hate it.

Ok.

Think, girl.

keep on dreaming:)

The first song I heard early this morning was Waltz. (Oh yeah, I’m still a Champ fanatic)
I like it. (but broken sonnet is still my all-time favorite) The lyrics of that song lingered on my head for like an hour. “Please that’s enough…I’ve said this a million times before and I’m sick… but all that I need and all that I breathe and all that I care for is you… I hate you” Ok, ok. Enough for this ‘champ moment’. I know, one day, I’ll meet him (keep on dreaming, there’s nothing wrong:)haha…).

At last, we attended our classes today. We were like ‘culture shocked’ (just like how lou described our situation) during the entire day. Ahh.. after days of physical training, now I really need some kind of exercise – a mental exercise. It’s pretty tiring, you know. We had a summative test in Finite Math (with our new teacher; I miss mr. ruffles) A 15-item seatwork on Math (we’ll have a summative test on Thursday…what a luck:( ) and a lot of stuffs (homeworks, reaction papers, practice lessons, quizzes, etc.) to accomplish this week.

So anyway, during adchem, some of my classmates asked me to write my three wishes. They told me to write serious ones. I wrote the first three things that came to mind. Here’s my wish list:

1. to have a kuya
2. world peace :)
3. that my dreams will come true

Ok…I still have one last practice lesson to finish yet my mind seems not to be working anymore for I’m thinking of a lot of things. Ahh… Thea’s right. But everything’s not really clear yet. I have to work this out as soon as possible (will I make it by the end of this week?) so as not to dishearten anyone. Lord, I’m desperately in need of a sign!

To my bed: In a few minutes, I’ll be with you.

on a rainy day

This is my new blog. My second one, actually. It has been like eight months since I last updated my older blog and creating a new one was the least I could do to inspire myself to write and share my thoughts through this ever revolutionized diary.

It’s the 10th of December (probably it’s the 11th while you are reading this). Nothing really significant happened this day except the fact that it has been raining all day until now and the fact that I spent this day together with my friend Abi. God, I miss her! The last time we spent ‘quality’ (if that’s the right term) together was during our school’s foundation day last October 13. Hey, that was almost two months already. I can’t bear not to tell her the things that happened to me for the past days. After the play, Abi and I, together with her classmates (thanks iv-einstein for being nice. I really had fun. :)) went to Rob place to eat our snacks (or rather, dinner) and have our pictures taken. I arrived home quarter past seven. The traffic was not really heavy though it was still raining.

It’s getting colder here. I can hear the sound of raindrops falling, giving me hope that we might not have classes tomorrow (great, in my dreams.) though it’s pretty fine with me to go to school tomorrow for the big day is on Tuesday. Speaking of the Rizal contest, days after that will surely be hard. Coping with bunch of lessons we missed is the difficult part of being a choir member. (one word: commitment.)

I’m getting tired. My bed waits for me as I wait for its comfort, too.
