today, i'm love-filled. And not, love in the sense... i'm in love, but more of the beauty of love. I was waiting for my turn in the polyclinic today, and saw a glowing mother with a beautiful new born in her hands.. truly, deeply, nothing can beat that sort of tenderness and love.

And it brought me to the movie "A walk to remember", and i still remember the beautiful passage from the movie (okay, i sourced out and its a scripture from the bible. Regardless.)

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails


I can only dream it.


Another quote from this book i'm reading.

True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and very few have seen
-Francois, duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxim 76


I keep on thinking, haix, maybe my blog is very emo, yada yada.. i'm not a normal teen, yada yada.. But then it struck me, this is the normal teen. This is what it means; to grow, to think, to yearn, to question, to feel, to contemplate. It is part of the growing process, and well it happens to everyone. Well, not everyone - there still thrives those lucky rare-breeds, the ones who can pass through life with a smile fixated on their face. But even then, surely there is some adversity they face. The Lord didn't put us on this Earth, to be free from pain or adversity, but to test us- our patience, our faith, our virtue.


Anyways, other than that. I keep on thinking whats the worst thing i could possibly do. Well, i believe, in the eyes of my parents and my brothers, it could be coming home pregnant (FLASHBACKS to Juno!!!). OR coming home a lesbian. I swear they'd beat me up into smithereens. NOT that i intend to come home pregnant, anytime in the near future. Or gay. Sorry, but that's not my cup of tea. Personally though, i think the worst thing i could do, is lose faith - in myself, in life, in my religion.. To totally give up. That would certainly be bad. Uhuh.


If anyone read the papers today, you'd see the whole Tibetian protests, tied together ironically with the Beijing Olympics. I am not knowlegable of the whole issue. But it just sucks to see the violence and all, i mean, like this world needs anymore hatred.
You know what really drives me up the wall? When groups of people use religion to fuel their political agenda. I get really really annoyed. Really. ah, thinking about it just makes me wanna scream.



ANYHOW! SOME PHOTOS!!! (:
