Geek Charming by Robin Palmer [ Reading Log entry # 4 ]

Part 1


Reflect : Dylan's attitude is  a must-be-reflected  bring up to most girls around. Being materialistic, self-centered and selfish could eventually mess up everything around you when you keep raging on being like these. Being the most popular individual in school does not require a full-asset show up of rich or beauty.Even in Josh' behavior, someone could possibly pluck fame by using a simple blow of humility. However, if people would only see the hidden things about someone's life especially the popular ones, they are also humans who were just being shaped by emotional longing and real relationship with others.It is a good circumstance for Josh as a film  geek and for Dylan as a public figure to meet each other and discover the meaning of life by forgetting who they are.

Question : Why didn't the two characters end up in a romantic relationship?It was a sad and open ended story that has made me feel life's surprises about love. If ever Dylan had fallen in love with Josh, could their be a possibility that Josh would also try to feel the same way?If Amy did not pursue her schooling in High Castle, could have Josh turned her side on Dylan's?And if Josh was not too humble to ask Dylan to make  a documentary with him,could Dylan change her bad attitude in a way only she could do?

Connect : I can see the world's standard as a deceiving kind of existence.Fame continues slashing all the cause of  simplicity in a room of rejection. Dylan's life made its drive into a simple ending of true living. Without Josh, she would not have known that there are a lot of times being wasted in a world of materialism. Accordingly, being geek like Josh is not an all-about-a-nerd approval. I am a geek. Not a film geek but a life-searcher freak. This story has caught up all the meaning of teenage life. It has made me realize that love in its simplest definition, turns everything in order as long as it sees you totally matured and changed enough.

Predict : Josh might not have changed his perspective without Dylan's presence. And Dylan might not have saw her uniqueness without Josh' simplicity. Josh might have a good relationship with Amy as well as Dylan with Robert. Josh and Dylan may not have ended up in romance but the experiences they have shared would have  probably made them realize that they were truly best friends ever but less than lovers. Additionally, Josh might have reduced using his inhaler especially as he already had Amy who would teach him to breath in a heart-beating way.

To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee [Reading Log Entry # 3]

Part 1                                                         
               
Reflect - I was awe stricken when I discovered  that Boo Radley  had stepped out of his comfort zone during the night Jem and Scout were struggling from an attack. It was really out of my mind to anticipate that someone-like Boo Radley, who was a man who never got out of his haunted house , would eventually save the two kids from danger. What had happened the night when Jem and Scout were walking in the middle of darkness, was  a traumatic experience. I think, it was more than good enough for the Finch family to believe that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife, instead of suspecting that it was Jem who killed Bob for a purpose of self-defense.

Question - It's still a question for me on how Boo Radley knew that Bob Ewell was to assassinate Jem and Scout. Did he already know in the first place of what was going on the Finch family? Was he always on a watch out for Jem and Scout investigating that he was the main purpose why the two naughty kids were very interested to draw him out? And if he did not come out of nowhere to rescue the kids, could have Scout found a way out of the danger and run for help?

Connect - During my childhood days, I used to hang around with my buddies and seek for adventure without my parents' consent. We went out for ghost-hunting, river swimming, caroling and etc,. Like Scout, I was very inquisitive and sensitive as if I was a Psycho spectator. Even in matters that only adults exclusively do, I never let time to pass by without my tongue to slip off and and make a blasting interruption just to raise a question.
My mind kept on swirling around just to end up interrogating. Not until I aged like Jem when I realized that I was  a meddler.

Predict - I think that Boo Radley would have been Jem and Scout's friends after the incident. Scout would have obviously inquired more and more from her father about Boo's purpose of saving them. And about Bob Ewell's death, his family might have gotten mad and would have possibly made threats on the Finch family.

If I have two hearts...

I would choose the one to love God...

And the other one...

to LOVE HIM MORE ...

 I

You don't have to drown yourself in a world of complacency

He knows you are still longing for something

You just don't see the signs for a change

Because you think life is all about your drive

When you're bored

you just step out of your room to look for happiness somewhere

shopping, strolling or bar hopping

When you got home

you would say "I've fun"

then later on 

you catch yourself all alone

Inside your room all you can hear is stillness

You cant sleep 'cause you just don't know why

If  a question comes out of nowhere and ask, 

"Are you happy?"

Then you'll answer

"Yes,I am."

And ask again,

"Do you want something more than what you've experienced before?"

Then you replied,

"Off course!"

Then "You're not happy."

Love Life

 

Living life to the fullest is qualitatively different than merely existing. 

 

Live a life that others will only live on the future.

 

Believe that you can overcome any battle and trust God more than yourself.

  Making a decision is the beginning of something.When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of.

Entry 2 for Reading Log

 The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coehlo

Part 1

Reflect: Life is truly broad. It keeps on giving so much fuss about human existence and his own world. Human mind continually explores that even sometimes he mindlessly goes beyond the limit. Like Athena, she searched for an absolute answer to fill in the "blank spaces" of her world. Questions and unsatisfying happiness inevitably intervened and anger furiously interceded. She chose to surrender her future by searching for that "something" until she went through painstaking encounters from the physical world. She believed that she was the Goddess Mother or a god herself because God for her is another type of existence who rules the world. She deeply believed that the best way to live is to know who you are beyond your own ability to describe yourself. 

Connect: The story brings out metaphysical approaches.It is all about questions throughout a living until pushing yourself to explore something you think is impossible to encounter. I hardly get the main point because I myself doesn't understand why most people have to search for something and take the risk for their dreams when the only answer for everything is to believe that there is GOD who rules over our lives. I was once lost and now I've found the answer through seeking the real God. Athena life was all about searching and looking for her own happiness but she was only destroyed because she only believed that she was also a goddess who could turn everything upside down through her ability to possess what God only possesses.

Questions: It is really a quest for life to explore something we do not understand or what we see a "blank space" inside of us. But do we really have to go beyond the limit when the only answer to our quests is to seek for the truth and believe that Jesus is the only way for us to discover the real meaning of living? The story "the witch of portobello" is a novel about searching for that "unknown" and believing that the answer is that we are also gods. Philosophy sometimes contradicts belief. But do we really have to live all throughout with traditions when the best way to achieve spiritual contact is to seek for Jesus and real persons to whom we can confide? It is not wrong to break away from a church. But why some people have to backslide believing they don't grow but are building their own kingdom and not of God? And why do we have to push ourselves travel to a metaphysical world when the truth is to surrender our life to God and have a deep relationship with Him?

Predict: I think that Athena, or Shrine Khalil could not have encounter pains and heartaches if she opened herself to a world where life endlessly flows with love where only God untiringly offers. She should not have taken the risk and left her son if she believed that there are a lot of chances for her and that she was only a human to serve the omnipotent and not a goddess. And if there was a true Christian who could have led her to the truth, she could have had  believed that the "blank spaces" are orderly designed by God that He is the only authority to answer and fill in the spaces.

Part two

"Learn, but always learn with other people by your side. Don’t be alone in the search, because if you take a wrong step, you'll have no one there to help put you right."

* Godly friends are the only people to whom we can lean on. Through them we could see the reflection of ourselves and our real purposes as persons and confidants.

"Love is enough to justify a whole existence." 

* In searching for something we don't have to go beyond our limits because God Himself is beyond description. Love itself would only manifest when we humbly submit to Him all our questions and doubts. There is no other way to define life when you are contented in living with purity and godliness.

"...regardless of how love is manifested, love forgives our mistakes and redeems our sins."

* Jesus is the only description of love because if we truly have the best understanding of salvation, we will no longer live with desires but instead live with real happiness.

"You are what you believe yourself to be."

*Our fate depends on how we believe in our own characters. We are the greatest prophet of our lives so our future holds on our will in understanding our capabilities. This line is important to know because most people fail to appreciate their capacities of fighting their weaknesses.

"We get lost because it is the best way to discover interesting places."

*This line means so much. When we get lost, we turned to a wrong road and it is sometimes hard for us to recognize the best path because we only choose what we think is good to see instead of choosing right to be stepped on. And we get lost because of our sins. We unconsciously live in a world we think is a real happiness until we catch ourselves in sufferings and pains. To seek for His presence is the most interesting place and bow down our heads for repentance and say "I'll pray".

"Live now what others will only live in the future."

*It is important for us humans because in every moment we do simple decisions, our future takes hold of it. So to laugh, love and live are the greatest choices we have to choose to define the real meaning of the present. What we are doing now might be other people's dreams.

"To make life interesting, is to make a gesture you do each day but not repeating them twice."

*Everyday is not an ordinary day because everything we are going encounter is a battle.So to make each day an interesting experience is just to undergo something new to blot out boredom and complacency.When we do this, our everyday routine would be something extraordinary- great as it may seem.

Silent Explosion (A comparative study)

Everything has something behind it. And something is nothing –“unspecified” or unknown, defined by itself. Based on the relative standard of the law of nature, something comes out like a single sprout, and everything started to exist. That is the unique demonstration of existence that something itself cannot define its own characteristic. Throughout the power of sense, a human being contrives varieties of questions out of something which begins from independent perception followed by undergoing observations. As a result, these serve as a bridge discovering the truth behind what is considered the reality and explore concrete answers beyond views which are “only believed as it is”.

Throughout uncertainties underlying questionable types of phenomena, Nicolas Copernicus and Mohandas Gandhi were just one of these human beings who went through painstaking and skilled observations in order to achieve the truth when “something behind a single thing was left unanswered”.

Nicolas Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, amended an arbitrary that the Earth is the center of the universe – which was the long-accepted view conceptualized by Ptolemy. Copernicus went into a prudent scrutiny grasping the chance to undergo further studies with regard to the rampant concept during the old times. By formulating precise analogies taken from practical scheming courses and applied principle of mathematics and philosophy, he affiliated  the focus of his study basically from the Earth’s structure and movement until obtaining the status of its location. Ascribing logical conducts pertaining to the Earth’s regular revolution amidst heavenly motions, it sorted out into driving hints that the Earth itself moves into its own axis accompanied by the outside movements controlled by either force or nature. It is due since the form of the Earth is oblique spheroid considering that it is a flattened surface deceived by the human sight. He stressed out to the basis of Earth’s actuality by observing its co relevance to other bodies including those which are not controlled or driven by the Earth’s motion.

In the latter, his effort made n encompassing result that the sun is the center of the sphere of the fixed stars. Another aftermath revealed the Earth’s distance to other planets which were ascribed if they appeared to be irregular as if they are governed by a center other than the Earth. As the planets happen to appear nearer or further from the Earth, their position might appear to have an irregular movement. Thus, his theory stated that the Earth is not the center as its movement is more probable than its fixity, especially with regard to the daily revolution.

Next was Gandhi’s view about rational discussion and persuasion that these two are effective tools for solving conflicts. Conflicts interceded when both parties do not agree with whatever the situation falls into dispute. For him, reasoning prowess compels an individual’s idea to fall in such a way of being self critical and examining one’s point of view regarding the disputed subject. As he perceived violence is driven and controlled by a situation where inevitable intervention of evil demeanor counteract, he strode to click an absolute way where human kind and heart must be opened instead of letting intricacies and immoralities predominate. He found out every violent situation as the worst thing to be taken up, because violence in its use rejects the rare essence of human soul, to be won over by appealing into others. By realizing this anthological fact, making every opposing subject worse, he made another method called satyagraha. It is a type of spiritual power, to achieve a goal taking rational discussion fall into a calm and critical self-reflection. He called it a great way persisting on a pursuing truth aimed to destruct the barriers of prejudice, ill-will, dogmatism and self-righteousness. It is by touching one’s heart and moving it smoothly not just the mind. “Suffering love” is the best thing to penetrate the opponent’s heart as it forms an inspiring principle of method. In the opposite view of his method, he discovered its value when it did not suited on all humanitarian beliefs and values. His method showed a limited standard implying that some totalitarian systems and mandates undermined the essential significance of satyagraha – that not on general aspects of soul-force could possibly apply its transforming method due to differences of beliefs.

Gandhi’s and Copernicus’ views have a huge and subtle type relationship discerning the best and helping way in discovering something behind everything existing partially opened. Their countless ideas, candid efforts, constant observations and wholehearted dedications are one of kind concerns explaining the truth beyond this intricate world. Their views also adjusted in a reciprocate intercession between each other. In some instances, Copernicus’ theory concerning the real actuality of the Earth, made an enormous impact to the world through “soul-force” application as he sincerely put his effort into calm a non-chaotic way opposing to the heretical belief. While Gandhi’s view of satyagraha is as significant as of Copernicus as humility and open-mindedness bore an absolute answer from exploring an unsettled circumstance.

Their views highly changed the worldview of man as their own understanding to “everything they felt unsatisfied”, encouraged them to exert lots of tactic in order to explore “something they saw as a quite-questionable one.”  When everything happens to exist, whether by belief or conflict, something is designed orderly by God that human beings have to discover it.

A research on How A balllpoint pen works

Doing the Hard Stuff

As discovery exists, invention follows. And as invention follows, development proceeds. There is no way to control everything that happens to exist as human mind continually explores. Indeed, it is not quite surprising why everything we inevitably sense brings forth quests and moves some people to probe and create something that is not strange and futile but that is new and useful. Every invention comes from a simple existence that is just being developed through human efforts. And a ballpoint pen is just one of the simple things that have existed, being developed, and has become an improvised writing machine. And as history divulges its trace, it’s simple figure and parts conceal a complex task of mechanism to which we may say that invention itself exists beyond description.

A ballpoint pen is a writing instrument with a tip that is continuously supplied with ink. The pen consists of a metal ball seated in a socket below an ink reservoir, (The Incredible Ball Point). When applied to a writing surface, the ball rotates and is bathed with just enough ink for smooth writing.

Now the goal of this pen is to create a device that can distribute a fast-drying thick ink, without having the ink dry out of the pen itself.  So the key is the ball. The ball acts as a continuous cap that keeps the ink from drying and it is the rolling mechanism for the ink into the paper. A hard task. First to keep the ink dry, second to get the ink out. The ball is typically made of brass, because it is not only strong but also has a pleasing appearance […..] and does not rust. That is why it is made of solid to compensate with gas and liquid when used and unused, (www.novelguide.com). The ball seems the most crucial element for the mechanism, yet, its other partner that shares responsibility is the ink. We might say that the ink can actually be put into whatever pen we may prefer to choose. However, it plays much subtle when it is perfectly blended and made slightly thick to dry in the pen reservoir and be free of particles. The ink is made different compared to a fountain pen because the ballpoint pen ink finds its place to keep the balance of viscosity. That is why if a fountain pen ink is used in a ballpoint pen. It would easily leak out or clog. The ink has to live in a house where it is apt to survive.

Lastly, the socket. Since the tip of pen is hard to be visualized, we might say that the socket is not that more important. Unknowingly, its function is the most important for a ballpoint pen that helps the ink and the metal ball in maneuvering.  According to the dictionary, it is an opening in any fitting that matches the outside diameter of a pipe or tube. It is where the ball is fitted allowing it to roll around freely, (encyclopedia).  A socket for holding the writing ball-pint pen comprises a tubular member having a tip potion formed to hold a writing ball, a rod inserted into the tubular member to receive the ball in a seat provided at the forward end [….]. Ink passages are formed between the tubular member and the rod and grooved ink outlets circumferentially provided in the inner walls of the tip portion of the tubular member to communicate with ink passages and the outside of the socket. [….] aqueous ink filled in the ink passages is supplied through the ink outlets to the portion of the ball which is exposed to the outside of the socket, (freepatent.online.com).

Some ballpoint pens are not completely dependent on gravity work. In some designs, there is a constant pressure applied behind the column of ink, enabling the writer to use the pen even if the writing tip is elevated. It requires a certain amount of pressure to be applied in order for it work. Hence, it lacks the free-flowing quality found in some other pen designs, (www.ehow.com). Its ink may rely on the gravity as well, but stored a lot more in the cartridge.

It is simple enough in theory but in practice, the designing of a ballpoint pen is tough. The metal ball, the ink and the socket are the simple characters with bigger roles behind this unimaginable work. Doing the hard stuff.

How a Ball point pen works

Doing the Hard Stuff

As discovery exists, development follows. And as development follows, a new discovery exists. There’s no way out to control everything that happens to exist as human mind continually explores. Thus, it’s not quite- surprising why everything we simply sense leads to a new invention. The ballpoint pen is just one of human being’s products of invention. Yet, as history divulges its trace, a pen or a ball pen still came from simple existence that becomes an improvised writing instrument. From its simple figure and parts, conceals a complex task of mechanism.

A ballpoint pen (modern writing instrument) is a pen with a small rotating ball made of metal to disperse ink as we write. This consists of ink, socket, reservoir or the tube and the ball. The ink is placed inside a plastic tube- looks like a stick; at the single top bottom connects the socket; and at the end part is tightened the small ball (not totally end, but between the ink reservoir and socket).

Now, the goal of this pen is to create a device that can distribute a fast-drying thick ink, without having the ink dry out of the pen itself. So the key is the ball. The ball acts as a continuous cap that keeps the ink from drying and it’s a mechanism for getting the ink into the paper. A hard task –one, to keep the ink dry, second, to get the ink out. Additionally, the ball is made of metal to compensate with solid and gas when used and unused. That’s why it’s not made of cartoon or foam. However, it’s not that of a ball’s responsibility where we could rely on. The socket holds the ball in tight as at the same time doing its task to help the ball roll around as we write. The socket seems unimportant, yet, its function is the same as the ball. It’s just that it is hard to visualize how it works with the ball. The half portion of the ball is held by the socket, and the back is exposed so it can pick up the ink reservoir.  That’s why the ball fits into the socket with just enough space to move freely. That’s the role of the socket. It’s somewhat a half-orbital little figure around the ball which we might say we cannot locate it inside. Also, through the socket relies the effectiveness of the pen’s ink which it doesn’t easily losses from the tube. That’s why there are pen that losses the balance of the ink when scratched on the paper. Some easily dries out; some easily flows without control. Lastly, the ink itself. We might say that the ink can actually be put into whatever pen we may prefer to choose. However, it plays much subtle when used on a ball point pen where it really works effectively and no-sweat. The ink finds its place where it can keep the balance of viscosity. That’s why a fountain pen ink is ineffective for easy writing for the viscosity of its ink is low. To make it clear, the ink has to live in a house where it apt to survive.

In using, it is the simplest conclusion as it facilitates its routine through the principle of physics:

As the pen moves across the paper, the ball turns and gravity forces the ink down the reservoir and onto the ball where it is transferred into the paper. It’s the rolling mechanism that allows the ink to flow onto the top of the ball and roll onto the paper we’re writing on while at the same time sealing the ink from the air so it does not dry in the reservoir. The ink, the socket and the ball are the main characters behind this. Developing a simple device into an invented complex machine. Doing the hard staff.

First Entry for Reading Process [Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon]

Part 1 

1. Reaction : I was really awestruck after discovering Paige Taylor's husband to be was Jason Curtis. I really thought Alfred Turner would be her future partner whom she had poured out all her dreams when they were young. Every chapter brings an exaggerating revelation making out rolling twists I could not have imagined. 

At the last Chapter, I felt there was no chance for Paige to win the case filed against her. She underwent euthanasia. The case was really down ended if were also to see it. No strong evidence. She even admitted that she injected the insulin to John Cronin's IV a cancer victim who suffered from tremendous heart cancer). However, Paige put the insulin to make him fall asleep - not to kill him. All the witnesses called to give their side were also against Paige. It was a triggering devastation on my side because I knew Paige was not a total liar - She's a very good surgeon.

The author greatly made a high-paced and snap-crackling kind of novel divulging the best shot of defense at the end of the story when the only and most awaited witness, Dr. Barker came out and gave his outraging stand to help Paige win the case. I thought he was going to put Paige down because he even hated her in the first place.

2. Question :  I wonder why the author did not make a story chapter for the three young doctors to discover each background and past experiences. He just wrote their stories but he did not make them learn their secrets. There must have a setting for the revelation. And I wonder why nobody witnessed for Paige and defended her from the case. It was only Paige who stood for herself and admitted what she did. 

3. Predict: I think that if John Cronin had immediately told Paige about the money and property she would not have been put into prison and suffering. 

And if Paige received the letter earlier, she would not have hoped for Alfred to come back.

4. Connect : Life being a woman doctor is not easy. I have taken note of it - "woman doctor". Most doctors are men and I found it interesting when the three young doctors were involved. I know how it feels to be trapped inside a hospital bearing countless conflict of schedules and shifting. I have also drowned amidst pressures in school and I felt like I can't make a track with my social life. It is somewhat obnoxiously taking a lady's nut in drudgery. I am choleric but I can manage to control my temper. 

The story of the tree doctors is a great realization for me and for other women to be off to discrimination and heartbreaks and on to bravery and new love.  They are examples for me to keep going no matter what.

 PART 2

If the main characters from two different novels could actually meet, who would you want to meet with whom? Why? What would their meeting be like? Use story details for support.

Euthanasia and the Deathly Hallows

T

he battle between good and evil was over. Paige Taylor's life had changed from a nightmare to a fulfilled dream. She got married with Jason Curtis and they lived happily like no one else could ever drag their fate down. Euthanasia. The operation Paige Taylor had done that put her into prison. It is a process of killing a suffered patient to inject a medicament to end terrible disease. By then, the bed-ridden patient would be lifeless.

Harry Potter got married with Jenny Wesley. They had conquered death and plucked the victory for the Hogwarts. Evil predicament had ended. They were now in peace. Now, Lord Voldemort was gone leaving a tremendous scar for revenge even until the world of humans. He left a remarkable destruction that no one had ever thought of him to come back. . . .

01:15 a.m. the telephone rang. Paige got into her knees as she woke up for her another shift. She hurried on as she picked up her coat and name tag and went to room 45. She almost bumped out as she barged in and took her utensils.

 “Where’s the patient?” Paige asked.

“He’s terribly out of control. We can’t see any fracture in checking his brain and temperature. There’s no problem, I’m afraid” Honey Taft said as she crammed. Paige was perplexed. “Ok let me do it.” She swiftly muttered.

As she got nearer, she removed the patient’s eyeglasses.

“Arrrrggghhh ! uh.. Please help me. I must not be here… my wife.” Harry Potter gasped. For the first time, Paige got her eye caught on Harry Potter’s scar as she tried to touch it with the scalpel. She felt like it was not a natural belonging to be inside an operating room. She felt as if there was a reverberating blast inside her to connect with a supernatural clasp to the patient.

“You’re not a human, are you?” Harry uttered as he was trying to catch his breath from pain. “Please help me out.”
Paige was awestruck. “What are you talking about? I’m a surgeon … and I operate diseases. I. . . I don’t understand. Who are you?” she asked as if she was in stupor.

HE is back!!”As Harry shouted his word, an iron thunder blurted outside the county hospital and a blazing snap dropped Paige and Harry out of their places. They were tumbling and shouting amidst an indescribable light inside a hole. By then, they vanished in a blink of an eye. As they transformed, a light dazzled before their countenance and swiftly blinded their pasts.From a magical and natural life, Paige and Harry met to overcome a demonic world. Paige, as a doctor did not expect something supernatural will happen. And Harry, as a person, not already a witch, has come to a new fight.These characters would join forces as they are going to fight against Lord Voldemort. Harry Potter’s bravery and Paige Taylor’s faith would unite their extraordinary possessions to have Jesus Christ as their weapon. From then on, they would become teen agers, winning souls for Christianity and save people from death.Being a surgeon is not always the best way to heal someone or help him live.  And having magic is not always needed to save humanity. IT is all about JESUS CHRIST – not to make bad people good but to make the dead live. And that is their role, to become transformed humans to introduce the word of God. N o Euthanasia, no surgery, no prisoner’s stone and deathly hallows.  Only the BIBLE.

Me

 

In Christ alone I can live until eternity...

Even when I experience something bad

I know He has the power to use it for good.

And even when I stumble.. 

His awesome grace catches my soul.. 

( Jeremiah 29:11 )

   I would always claim for this promise ;)

The battle of waiting

        O1:45 p.m. The screeching rays of the sun engulfed my entire humanity as I walked through the exasperating pavement of the university. No matter how hard I tried to cover my skin and cheeks from the scorching blows of sun rays,I could not help but fought again the bursting impatience and complains triggering my choleric temperament. I disliked doing soliloquy. I preferred to to keep silent while pacing on the stony aisles going to my desired destination. i was not a loner. It's just that I used to mull over the things I had in mind and solve them by myself amidst the  presence of people passing by and fro. Some kind of a habit meditating in the middle of an endless noise. The world it is ! I was born to live here... that no matter where I go, there I am.
          I mindlessly griped on my bag strap. It had been my company for a countless 'friendship-holding-hands'. Through making an expressive clasp from this strap, I felt like no one could ever drag me off. Hundred steps, I did not notice. I inevitably sensed something was going to hit me. I stopped. Then, ignored. Though quite exhausted, I kept on striding while carrying the burdened silence. It seemed that everyone's eye was glued at staring at me. Immediately, an aggravating shyness blurted out my countenance compensating over my spine and shattered my adrenaline. 'Why don't these souls stop on observing and talking about me? I'm not famous... and I hate fame.' my mind obnoxiously sounded. Still, I gripped harder and walked as if I was in stupor. Near half an hour passed and the deafening meditation was over. I bid goodbye to my friendly bag strap. As I stopped for a while, the earth suddenly revolved for its changing task. The cloud had driven out the sun elsewhere as I no longer felt its painful pierce from its rays. A new breeze and a swirling mist  assembled to bustle for a rain. Rapidly, they fell as an unstoppable million of warrior descending to conquer an oppressive land. Looking for a place to stand by, there, I witnessed the battle of rain. Staring at nowhere, I heaved a big sigh. I had thought of the things I forgot to reach out.
          Too many weeks I missed to hang out, days to find rest, moments to chat with my mom, hours to pray long and nights to watch the stars. There is a lot of things I had skipped or even had forgotten to dwell on.  I even missed my Facebook account to which I could steal a wee hour of clicking on my notifications and messages during my research periods. Only from reading his replies I spared a time to meet a part of myself. Yes.  Only a part. Because I left the portion of my heart to someone I cannot show what I felt. He had my heart that was what I know. Yet, he cannot totally own it.
          Dealing with commitment without preparation would be the most frustrating stand being a woman. It's to establish a godly standard where a woman is ought to serve with fullness of patience and purity. She must indeed wait for the man she desired to be faithful as well as the man should wait until the most perfect time God has prepared for them. 'I knew it..He's gonna wait for me. He promised to be faithful 'til we graduate... even without constant communication.' " How is he?" I muttered. "When was the last time we saw each other? ..I can't remember. Half an hour ended and I was caught by the wind.
          The battle was over. I could count the warriors dropping on the trees and grasses. They had successfully made an engrossing hush from the struggle of war. What a refreshing existence to meet the ardent hug of  quietness. From then, I stepped out of the little canopy and waved for a ride. I'll go for Fb. I missed it. words that suddenly popped on my mind. I glanced back to the place where I had been a minute ago. The little canopy, the rain, the leaves and the silence. .. But no. I don't miss Facebook. I miss him. As I left, I was trapped on a shadow of nostalgia. The moments I'd experience broke my strength and positive mindset. I managed not to be carried away. But the leaf with the single drop of water flashed back. I was reminded not to send messages to him again. He's already in a relationship with someone else. He forgot to wait for me. He forgot his promises. An abrupt melancholy engrossed my broken heart. I tried to hide the tears yet they could not resist to be imprisoned inside my eyelids. I had also been a prisoner of the past. By then, I let them fall like warriors fighting the hidden pain. No need to hold them back. I had to cry to win the battle. I had to accept we're over.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.
Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.

A simple smile makes everything great.

Simple pose for a big Peace

Even in a simple "wacky ", you make a changing realization-- PEACE

Hate war. Love your foes.

Before and after Encounter

I once was drowning amid burdens ...

studies , heartbreak , family haggle , peer  pressure ...

i felt like there's no way out but to see myself  shackled  by pessimism ..

i didn't know how i could simply mull over the things i considered  a big devastation ..

then i caught  myself running off .. from the pains and sufferings from this world ..

while walking, i decided to grip a moment to look at the sky ..

there .. i saw  the ocean's reflection ..

i gazed and bowed down ..then He waved ..

i  seized a time to stay until  i 'd got the chance to meet Him..

throughout the sunset i deeply knew the reason why we met ..

we shared emotions and exchanged  stares ..

until we hit the end of the earth ..

when i left, my tears feel down ..

yet, i regained my strength heaving a big sigh ..

i didn't notice my soul to utter  words .. words i never thought to whisper after i ENCOUNTERED JESUS !

" NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO. THERE YOU ARE "

- The world is sphere and God is here  ♥

 Its not HE who challenges us

but our own selfish deeds that push us to step back

and our OWN problems that tests our faith..

To encounter Jesus is worth living for ..

overcoming burdens and be a conqueror !! -
