| passion comes from the latin word "paserre" which means suffer. passion is what a person is willing to suffer for. | |
|
| The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
No I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When You lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the darkness
If You want me to
When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes and see you never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
And I will walk through the valley if you want me to
Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to | |

| bought a heart rate monitor watch about a month ago.
i never really believe in the heart rate monitor. and i use to say that those people who use heart rate monitors dunno how to pace themselves.
but i was so wrong.
i used it last night. and its really effective at keeping me from running too fast and allowing me to keep a fairly constant speed throughout the workout. and after the run, i was not exhausted like my other runs before.
i guess i'll be using it quite frequently. and work towards a better workout, so that i can keep myself in good shape.
i wonder if they sell a heart rate monitor for the emotional heart? | |

| "movies dont always tell the truth, dont always enlighten, dont always inspire. what they do on a fairly consistent basis is give you an experience of transcendence. they let you lose yourself in somebody's else story. and sometimes in losing yourself you find yourself, or at least , a part of yourself. it may be a part of yourself you didnt even know needed finding. it may be a wounded part or a callused part that you find. it may be a very beautiful part or a very ugly part. a part that needed to grow up or maybe a part that needed to go back and become a child again. a part that needed to understand, maybe, or to forgive. or maybe it was a part that needed to die, or maybe on that instead needed to be born.
movies give you the opportunity for a couple of hours to look at somebody else's life. and sometimes that can change you."
taken from, 'Windows of the Soul' by Ken Gire
2 paragraphs of great wisdom. movies apart from its fairytale lvoe story where cute, handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies are partners and spouses. and the many romantic things couples do without much quarrels and arguements. indeed they let me lose myself in many times more than 1 character in the movies. and in losing myself finding myself.
just watched a movie shopgirl. read the online rating, not too good. but i find myself lost in the 3 main characters. discovering and rediscovering things in my life. things which i'm disappointed with, things which i hold strongly too. beyond description i would say.
a time for everything? yes, this movie is a movie in season. after everything that has been happening to my life recently, this movie was watched at a perfect time. | |

When God created teachers,
He gave us special friends
To help us understand His world
And truly comprehend
The beauty and the wonder
Of everything we see,
And become a better person
With each discovery.
When God created teachers,
He gave us special guides
To show us ways in which to grow
So we can all decide
How to live and how to do
What's right instead of wrong,
To lead us so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong.
Why God created teachers,
In His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help us learn to make our world
A better, wiser place.

| looking all around me, i see the tragedies..
in the faraway land of china being hit my typhoon bilis.
in the neighbouring land of indonesia struck by earthquake measuring 6.8 on the ritcher scale.
across the planet where waves of heat fires over the land
the lost of lives, loved ones.. and some, homes...
the cries of these people are so loud. in fact deafening.
crying out to the gods above..
their hands are reaching out to the heavens.. and it seems so far so out of reach..
all they hear are the echos of their cries..
broken and lost they remain..
help rendered by the compassionate deems futile to the many affected..
some view this calamity as a natural disaster.. movement to air/water masses and tectonic plates..
some view as a wake up call from God/Allah for their wayward living..
some view it as a warning call through the natural disaster..
some others are oblivious of what's even happening on the other side of the planet..
also in the life of my dearly loved, alone in a foreign land with nothing much to eat, and a dear family member seriously ill..
teary nights and dreadful days..
at the end of their broken dreams..
who will be their open door? - Mood:curious

| God created man with the capacity to love.
Love is based upon one's right to choose to love.
We cannot force others to love us.
We can make them serve us or obey us.
But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.

| "are you afraid of changes?"
yes i am. i'm afraid of changes. (who's not afraid of it?)
changes are inevitable, but also necessary. changes take us out of our comfort zones and stretches us. changes brings us into new territories which we've never travelled. they test our faith, our trust, our love, our patience, our perserverence, our endurance, our dedication, our determination, etc. certain changes may break us, but it's only after we are broken that we can be molded into something better.
change is definitely painful. its hard to look beyond the pain at the possible fruitful outcome. - Mood:apathetic
