this is a little quiz from JB. it's reallie funnie. Some parts are reallie quite true, while others at not so. Who cares anyway!! Hee hee!! =0)

To me the most important thing in life is to enjoy every minute of it and love life. I guess u can't change the way things are ... but u can look at it in a difference perspective. HOW? trying taking a walk in the park. It takes a long long time a lots of determination to get out to the house and stop work. Then, just take some time to enjoy the wind [for the last few days... there isn't] ... gaze the stars ...

then, u will realise how beautiful things are! =0) how big things are and how little we are... OUR problems wooories and everything just becomes reallie insignificant. REALLIe do try... take a nice walk in the park ... and breathe the silent and quiet air. Everything is just tooo different from the day.

WE see everything but we don't feel
WE listen to everything but we don't listen

The beauty of everything is in the eyes of the beholders..

How was your week?

4 papers down and one more to go. Was looking forward to today so that I can write. I miss facing a screen and watching my thoughts flow into words. It's therapeutic.

I had quite a bit of inspiration that night when the moon was full. Did you see it? 15th day of the Lunar calendar. It happened to be Qing Ming festival where pilgrimages were made to the tombs of loved ones and respects paid.

I walked closer to my window to take in the full view of the moon. How beautiful...its rays...so light, so crisp, so faint. It waltzed into my heart evoking a certain empty romance. I can almost see, the moon reflecting the faces I miss...

I walked back to bed and leaned against the bedpost to say night prayers. I see part of the bed basking in moonlight...until I switched on the dim blue lights. In that flicker of artificial light, moonlight diminished. But, it's still there. In the day, it's so different. Sun rays dominate, bold and strong. No flicker can wipe it out.

Moonlight is appreciated best without intervention. Perhaps, art can only flourish like that?

Talent must go through the baptism of darkness and pain before the light of day can manifest.

The moon is always there even when clouds obscure it and artificial light blinds you to it. God is like that.

The moon reflects the light of day. Just like Mary and all the saints reflecting the glory of God. We must strive to smoothen our surfaces and chase away the clouds of grey to reflect more of God's glory.

Yet, He assures us that the strive for perfection must not weigh us down. The moon with all its rough surfaces can still reflect the sun just fine. Bother not the scourges of sin. Bother not, plastic surgery, milk baths, Neutrogena face masks. God wants only a plain heart to reflect His glory.

Let the moon dispel the darkness. Darkness is only temporary. Soon, day will break. But day is also temporary for night will come. How inexorable! How we must always peddle through the cycles of change.

Life is a journey through night and day.

They tell me to sun my pillow. Can I moon my pillow instead?

Can I capture?
Will I rupture...
the moon...
duller than day
but fuller than night..?

Let the dreams answer that.

How are you?

God Bless.
