Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single.

We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again.

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Well. I had my first really small time job today. Paid to watch people play basketball hah =p. $12 bucks for two hours, paid on per-assignment basis. Not bad. I went with Ivan to church service today. Decided to give my very first pay to the offering, that is to say, that $12. I dunno. I guess I'm started to get affected by the thought that there is a higher being up there, and that there really is higher meaning in our lives that to just live it out.

But I still won't call myself a christian. Not that I don't believe in him, but sincerely I believe with all my heart that there is a God. There is someone who loves us, put us down here to love and all he asks is for us to love him. And for the better part of my life, I do. Right now, I'm trying to involve him in my life, instead of just blowing off his existence. God still loves me and forgives me for all the grave sins I've done, as long as I've admitted to them and their punishment. And believe you me, I've done some grave sins that absolutely I myself find it hard to forgive myself for what I've done. That I've come to accept. That, I try to love God. But still, I won't call myself a christian. It's not because of feeling shameful like how I felt about it in the past. It's more of... convincing myself that this isn't some sham. That this isn't some ploy to psycho myself into some spur of the moment thing. That I need ensure this isn't some spur of the moment feeling. I want to believe with all I am that there is just that. I want to have faith. Faith being undeniable, unsurmountable belief in something. In this case, I want to have faith in God.

Right now, I'm uncomfortable having to spend my sunday at church. And what kind of christian is that? And for even just that, I'm shameful. I almost used the phrase"wasting my sunday". Lol. If I am to call myself a christian, I want to go at it full on. No half-assed belief. Or rather, I need myself to know that this isn't some joke. That I'm not kidding myself, riding on my feelings from this afternoon. Well, to pinpoint something specifically, I have trouble with "putting everything in God's hands". As *most* of you know, I tend to rely on myself for most things. Like self improvement, mostly. So that's why I'm having trouble. And why on earth should I have trouble regarding this. Maybe it's because my own principles and beliefs is contradicting what I am being taught religiously? Is there any way to combine the two? It's unfortunate that stubbornly, I am a man of logic and reasoning. And yet, I believe in a higher being with nothing absolute to be sure of besides the *fact* that He lives.

I used to think that I have the rest of my life to decide whether I want to be a christian or not, or whether I want to call myself a christian. I try to live my life as a christian, by doing good and obeying everything I feel is right that goes against what others perceive as "wtf". The only things missing are that I don't call myself a christian nor do I admit this to others, and that I rarely if not never attend sunday church. And right now, this feeling is my gut that this day is a turning point. That there really isnt much time. Of whether I want to be a real christian.
I believe in God. I love God. And I know God loves me and forgives me for all the mistakes I've done. I pray sometimes, but not often. I don't feel ashamed in answering my friends anymore when they ask me whether I'm going to church this saturday. I don't feel uncomfortable talking about God and his love now. I feel happy heading down to saturday service, whether it is to see new friends there, sing songs, worshipping god and listening to his word. And yet, I feel that this is not enough. Or maybe it really is not enough. Matter is, I don't feel I can call myself a christian yet. People around me whether they know it or not have been affecting me one way or another. Unknowingly, they assure me that being a christian is not as bad as I think. All that's left is convincing myself. And how to do that? Hopefully, God would reveal it to me =).

Woah. Sorry if this post is too religious for your tastes. It's been awhile since I talked about religion, if not never. I've always thought of myself as a free thinker, even though I've been brought up a buddhist. I used to think that religion, well, was a stupid idea. I used to be a really closed mind when it comes to religion one might say. I would find faults in every one of them. But then, what about me as a person? Would I then look at the faults in everyone? No. I look at everyone, and all I see is potential as a person, how good they can become or how good they already are. So why can't I do the same for religion? Turns out, I've been turning my back on something that could've helped me gain more knowledge about the world and the society as we know it. Life lessons beyond simple comprehension. I'm ready to learn.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. ~Anais Nin

The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others. ~Tyron Edwards
