HAH! New wishlist! LoL.

She's such a gorgeous SLR. I can't believe something like her exists!! XD
I especially love the pentamirror tilt system, anti-dust protections, AND the fine continuous shooting capacity. HAR.

But then she costs millions... well, not really millions. Just in my point of view. Sony retails it at P49,999 including VAT. But, last I checked, she costs ~P31,000 in the States.

And THAT's why she's on my wishlist! Cause she'll only be a dream... FOR NOW! RawR! ;)

Strength to do disinterested actions


it's been a while but i finally took the time to read my subscriptions of online devotionals c/o biblegateway.com i read two. the first's message basically is to do disinterested actions. doing good because we should. at the end of the devotional it said something like think of someone who can use your help and help that person whether or not he can pay you back. (then i thought of our helper. she really needs some help with her logic and english comprehension. but then i went, "Lord? Do I really have to? That's going to take such a long time. It's annoying. i doubt if she'll even get the things I'm going to say to her." then i continued reading my second devotional. it talked about looking to God for strength to achieve the things we normally can't. to look to friends for encouragement from God. then it hit me. i'm so stupid. who the heck am i to think that i can be, even the very least, like Jesus when i'm so selfish? when i'm so foolish? when i'm so naive? when i'm so me? it's going to degrade the words "to be like Jesus" into plain garbage. who the heck am i?

just today i acted like a complete non-Christian. how then can i tell others about Christ? i'm a complete humiliation. i know. why in the world can't i change??

Lord, please help me. I know I've been asking the same thing from You for such a long time now. And I also know that You've done Your part. Now, it's my turn. But what's so wrong with me that I'm not improving? It almost looks like I'm retrogressing! Oh, God! Please help me, Lord. Guide me, God. You're my Only Hope. You are my ONLY HOPE.

Bless me, God, for I have sinned.

Kids

I guess, I really am a kid - still. Still a kid.
A stupid, naive kid.

I have to grow up.

Fast.

I wonder what the record time for growing up is. Maybe I can run for the Guinness.

Har.

Sing for me.

best of Friends

Photobucket

something got me thinking. what are best friends? is there a line differentiating best friends and family? who draws the line? when do you have the right to call someone your best friend? does the time come when you stop calling your best friend "best friend"? if your best friend is of the opposite sex, can he/she become your spouse as easily as if he/she were not your best friend? do matters become more complicated between best friends? how do you find one?

rice Balls!

lucckky!

Photobucket

i made my first rice balls today! haha. and it was so fun mind you! making them felt like playing with rice which is a very bad thing to do. BUT making rice balls is a good and FUN thing to do. :P i remember eating my first one in japan. it was scrumptious! it had some sort of filling inside. it tasted like seafood. haha. my next creation? seafood filled rice balls!

alright.

i've just finished watching the series Proposal Daisakusen or Love Operation. and, mind you, it was very touching. i've even contemplated showing it to the person in my last entry. but i'm not that evil. ;) the series is mainly about two childhood friends who, because of being close, had a hard time being honest with each other and with themselves. and yes, it is sort of a cliche-filled show. marriage. hope. change. timeslips. but its closeness to reality made it seem fun to watch. the clumsiness of men like Ken (Yamashita Tomohisa) and the admirable (for me) secretive and responsible nature of Rei (Nagasawa Masami) were outstandingly portrayed. :)

that wraps up my today's share of exhilaration. :)

good evening, friends.
