distractions and ironies.
i realize my blog has been neglected.
i was planning maybe someday to write about my testimony. hahah nah. why should i? many others get saved whose testimonies deserve publishing hahah
recently, i've been having my doubts on the efficiency of this blog to portray words strung together for His glory.
i did dedicate this to anything relating to Christianity, it's quite obvious from the layout.
issue 1: my sister now complains about how i have this annoying "lawyer voice" when i discuss things or attempt to put forth my point.
issue 2: i have been neglecting my blog.
issue 3: hahah i wonder if i have due reason.
wheee. we'll let the problems take care of themselves (:
it seems my holidays are no longer holidays. i'm leaving for italy in about 7 days. (oh no.)
this sucks. hahah i'll tell you a secret, i haven't done my holiday homework. 0:D
sigh, maybe i slack too much.
i'll let you in on what has been occupying the holiday i had other plans for:
1. books
2. sentiments
3. family time.
i admit, i have read some good books. but i never finish them. i finish some but i have no idea why it seems like 24hours is not enough!
i read neil gaiman's sandman - preludes and nocturnes, quite nice.
i'm quite surprise by his portrayal of the devil, it's more accurate than how other comic books portray lucifer.
serious man, i think it would be really scary, and i'm glad that the only person the devil appeared to in the bible was Jesus. he can take it. i mean, i wouldn't mind as long as i'm in the full presence of God or Jesus myself, because either one of them would outshine whatever little glory the devil has - in appearance.
ironic huh, how people can portray monsters so horribly. well i do remember the sirens in the odyssey, that's not too bad, but i mean like... commercialized stories.
what irony huh? hahah
i think i can put a patent on "so ironic" because even my mom says i say it so much hahah
i have my sincere doubts if this blog works, you know. i really do, but i'm going to trust.
one of the recent sermons i've been listening to puts emphasis on the Gospel
i conclude that the best way to know if a person is a believer is to ask them about the Gospel. (but you have to be prepared for tears.)
but we do have to keep in mind that we are no one, we have no authority to declare if a person is saved. only God can do that.
even so, we must test ourselves, keep ourselves on track by questioning ourselves the reality of the Gospel and what exactly it is.
i believe that once a person is clear on the Gospel, it will serve as the biggest and greatest motivation in the Christian life.
how can a person fall away like this? - (rhetoric question)
it's tough. i contemplate my own future and the choices i must make in time to come.
but i shall leave it to His Hands.
i watched new moon the other day. my little sister lizi was completely over-the-top excited she screamed multiple times.
oh well. (TEEHEE song. turn your phone volume down)
it was okay. hahah i'm serious the best thing about it is the scenery. gosh. (eunice, i'm adding that onto the list. HAHAH)
aughhh hahah
you know how they like to teach about urban and rural settlements and stuff like that in geog, i wonder why they never evaluate which was better. it seems so surface level.
i like to think that the more urbanized a place gets the more problems it wreaks for itself.
think about it, hahah i shall explain someday, when i feel like it.
it also drives towards a centralized economy and culture - makes you lose some roots. it's inevitable.
i get sick of how they rant on and on about this in chinese curriculum but you have to stick to the 'model answer'
cardboard box! :( boring boring boring
-dies-
don't you find it retarded how we idolize so many things in our lives?
actually i don't... i find it sad. and it's human nature i guess. still sad.
i've told some friends of mine how i'm going to grow old as an old, alone, fougie.
but they don't know why i fear such.
it's hard to believe i'll find someone who condones the way i think about Christianity. and the way i look at life.
i told my mom i wanted to marry someone more close to God than me, she said i would end up marrying a pastor.
x.x dies.
my sister (xandra) was reading fml the other day to me, we both concluded that people in the west/us are really screwed up.
seriously, it's damn gross sometimes. like 40% of the posts are about something wrong.
twilight has overtaken the minds of so many girls. it's gross. seriously.
there was this post on fml that was like - "my girlfriend broke up with me today, she said she wanted someone more like edward. i found out he was a fictional vampire. fml"
xandra also read twilight yesterday. she said edward and bella were so cheesy.
i kind of agree.
and even so, for a hopeless romantic like me to say such a thing, it must be to an extreme concentration.
(yes i laughed in a "romantic scene" in new moon because it was so retarded. there was also this guy in the back row who kept laughing at the corny parts. my dad said it was really stupid. he's so accurate.)
oh the irony.
i foresee that twilight is yet another distraction from the truly important.
and the romanticization of "immortals" paint lies as beautiful as monet's paintings. (i love monet though.)
when i get of age, i'm going to write a book and it's going to be anonymous. (:
whee. :D
