"The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is His faithfulness,
His mercies begin afresh each morning.
I say to myself," The Lord is my inheritance,
therefore, I will hope in Him!"
The Lord is good to those who depend on Him,
to those who search for Him.
So it is good to wait quietly
for salvation from the Lord.
And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of His discipline:
Let them sit alone in silence
beneath the Lord's demands.
Let them lie face down in the dust,
for there may be hope at last.
Let them turn the other cheek
to those who strike them
and accept the insults of their enemies.
For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever.
Though He brings grief,
He also shows compassion
because of the greatness of His unfailing love."
-Lamentations 3:22-32 [NLT]
Just what I needed to hear. :3 Oh, and here's wishing the Royal couple a blissful marriage! :)

Hi guys!
How are you?
Man, Easter's just passed,
and it was SO hectic.
I performed on
Good Friday,
and it was a blast!
I was really nervous,
because it was my first time.
But it was so worth it,
because when I saw the people piling in for salvations,
I was just like Whoa- O__OIt was a nice feeling. :)
And I got to know people I never would have known,
if I didn't get this part.
All glory goes to God! :D
But after that,
it was really just
ASSIGNMENTS. ASSIGNMENTS. ASSIGNMENTS.Kid you not,
doctors
gave me medical certs,
to take the day off,
but even when I'm at home,
I'm just slogging off at the assignments.
*cries*Sigh.
And next week's not gonna be any better. ):
But,
I'm sure God will grant me His
strength! :D
Hopefully..
After next week,
I'll be able to get some rest!
Till then,
stay healthy,eat more fruits and vegetables,and hopefully, we'll meet again soon. :)LOL. BLOGGER'S GLITCH HAS FINALLY BEEN FIXED. YAY, I'M STOKED!

Hi guys.
Easter is coming soon.
You know, when I think of Good Friday,
I don't only think about Jesus and what He did for all of us.
Good Friday,
was also the day I decided to give my life to Christ,
a year ago.
The week leading up to Good Friday last year,
was really traumatic.
All the lies, deceit,
unfairness blah blah blah,
drama that would make it a popular Korean show [lol to that],
and really, all those
pain and
scars.
I honestly forgot everything,
because I'm so happy living in Christ now.
But my mum and I visited someone today,
and they were talking about a particular couple.
This couple went through alot,
and there's plenty rumors and stuff,
such as person A has depression..
Person B's this.. Person C's that..
Everything's just so messed up, you know?
And I was just like that.
As an outsider looking in now,
I can only thank the Lord,
for being so merciful to me,
and bringing me out of
my whole mess,
dusting me down,
healing all of my greviances and guiding me to Him.
And so as Easter draws nearer and nearer each day,
I look back on the entire year,
how it's been fruitful,
how much I've changed,
how I used to be a part of the audience,
and how I'm the one appealing to the audience now.
Sigh.
God is so good.
There are no more other words I can say,
but a solid,
God is so good.

Quick post! I'm supposed to be in bed by now! Uhm..
I haven't been posting because I've been busy!
Assignments are gonna be due soon,
Easter is coming..
Along with other obligations.
But don't worry,
I don't plan on neglecting you guys!
Not for long, anyway. >: You know,
group projects and the problems that come with them..
People and the like. So.
Credits to http://phantom-ice.deviantart.com/gallery/24018097 Pardon me, if I sound kinda grumpy, haha. On the bright side,
I was checking out more Historical fiction,
and decided to try out books by the author,
Jean Plaidy.
Is she good?
Tell me if you know okay?
I got the books on
Queen Mary I and
Marie Antoinette.
And I can't WAIT to read them! :D
Ah.
Reviews on
The Red Queen,
The Other Boleyn Girl [movie],
and
Gone with the Wind.
I know, I haven't forgotten!
But now that you know my circumstances,
see you soon!
Hopefully! :3

Hello! I'll combine
Art with the
Missing 14 days post,
and I feel kinda horrible,
because honestly,
I can't remember much of the things I did during those fourteen days.
[
It's been so long,
sometimes I can't even remember what I had for lunch! -___-
...It really takes me a considerable effort to remember that. Really.]
But I know that I DID make lots of cards,
and if you can tell,
I've not been posting alot of
artsy stuff,
except for that one card I made for my grandmama.
So I am ashamed to say,
that those missing 14 days were actually...
Nothing much. Haha
And I made a big enough fuss out of it too.
*embarrassed* Okay
confession, check.
Let's move on. Soooo.. As you know,
Me = Teenager,
= not alot of $,
≠ great variety of stamps,
∴ teensy bit of monotony involved. [
Monehhhh $___$]
Christmas: Others: [
These are the more recent ones.]
I've been going for flower arrangement classes too,
and they've been on funeral arrangements
sooo I assume that you wouldn't want to see those. Lol
Of course,
if we aren't gonna be that literal,
there's one more type of art I've been practising.
Guess?
...
Chess![
geek alert!]
"The Art of War", hahaha
I've been competing against the computer in Chess Titans.
I don't know why,
I just felt like playing it all of a sudden.
And I've been unknowingly hooked since. -__-
The computer cheats though. >: Do you guys experience the same situation?
Like, just feeling like doing something out of the blue? Or is it just me? :)Missing 14 days post, check!
Friday, April 8, 2011
AHHH!
I'M SO TIRED.. Long day today,
another one tomorrow. Let's see what I owe you guys: 1) Missing 14 days post [Too long, I know.] 2) Phuket [I knowwww.] 3) Last few days of the England trip I know I'll probably regret this,
but I promise I'll post something tomorrow!
How about some art? :)

Let's skip the formalities!
13th March 2011: Sunday Since it's a Sunday,
my mum and I went to church! :D
Fortunately,
Hillsongs is in London too!
And that was how we spent our morning. :3
They were pretty awesome.
We then rushed to the Paddington station,
to try and catch a train to
Windsor.
We missed the nearest one, so believe it or not,
by the time we reached Windsor, it was
4 pm. -____-
[
You can guess by now that we didn't do much that day.]
Taken from the outside, it's Windsor Castle btw! The adorable guard at the entrance! :D
[That coat looks so snuggly!] The castle walls, a soldier would probably stand guard there,
as shown by the red circle. Thy Royal Mail The Three Musketeers! :D
[I can't remember what their vocation is though. I'm sure it was pretty prestigious!] Opps! Got caught. :P
[They were heading for mass!] Their quarters :) The Cathedral A Castle Guard
[Every time I see a guard like this,
I always remember that episode of Mr Bean,
where he harassed that poor sentry.
Do you guys remember?] Remember the Royal Mail?
Yeah well, we have Ye Olde Royal Lamp Post too! Let's take a closer look at that. ..Yupp. A crown. *quite speechless* I found this on one of the castle walls!
Wonder what it means,
how old it is,
and who made it! *mysterious* After that,
we went back to London via rail,
and as expected,
by the time we checked in to our next hotel,
it was already 8 pm or so.
Nothing special about the hotel,
except that the receptionist was
exceptionally cute. ;)
So yupp!
That was Sunday!
Told you we didn't do much!
-End- P.S I've been waking up really early every morning, so I'm extremely exhausted! I'll be jumping back to bed now! See you guys soon!

Olá! I've been terribly busy the past few days!
On
Thursday,
I had an Easter production rehearsal.
As you know,
Easter's coming up,
so my church will be having a drama..
..And I'm training to be one of the soloists!
[
Since music creates the mood :)]
As to the role of soloist,
it's not confirmed yet..
But I'm glad that I've got the chance to train anyway!
Then, on
Friday,
my friends and I had a
sandwich event!
We ended up making sandwiches
[
like those from Subway]
and playing Monopoly Deal.
It was really fun! :D
I also got to meet up with friends I haven't met in ages,
[
not during the sandwich event, just to be clear, it's a different thing on the same day!]
and we had lots of fun!
It's a pity we all had to leave early,
but hopefully I get to meet them again soon!
On
Saturday,
I got an abrupt message saying that I had
Portugese class that very day!
So I went..
And now I'm kinda scared that I can't learn it in time..
Because I'm not sure if I'm the multilingual type..
I'm not even bilingual!
But I'm sure God will help me through this!
Learning a new language is nothing compared
to what He did for me right!
On
Sunday,
[
yes, yesterday]
we had a
Corporate Meeting..
[
I'm not sure what it's officially called though]
All the regions in my church packed into a stadium,
and I was part of the morning and evening choir!
Even though I was excited,
I am ashamed to say that I was late for both rehearsals,
because
morning: I woke up late ): evening: I mistook the rehearsal for another time -__- And so..
Because everyone could see me coming in late from the stage,
I felt like such a stupid fool. Like the village idiot. It felt quite awful for me. But you know something? They forgave me, *snaps fingers* just like that, and it just really caught me by surprise. Fast forward to nearing the end of evening service,
there was an impromptu song..
Though I can't find the exact lyrics,
[
it was a very old song, to the point of ancient]
there were some key words and phrases that stuck me..
Like
"Let's spread the love.." "brotherly love" And we were all hugging and swaying to the song,
and I just could not help but remember about their
forgiveness on that day,
and think how
grace is so free,
and it all started with
Jesus.
That feeling of being indebted is something that's hard to forget! :S
It was such a beautiful moment. [
A Kodak moment! ;D]
I really wish you guys were there! Finally
today,
I had my
first day of school.
To be honest,
it was reeeeally boring,
cause the subject's on IT stuff,
and the lecturer kept talking about the benefits of Apple the entire lesson,
but I'm glad that he is making an obvious effort to help us remember.
So I'm grateful that I got a good lecturer this sem again. :)
And it was kinda exciting for my class,
because we moved to a
new campus [
!],
in a new building,
and it was really empty,
everything was new..
...Even the toilets were kinda high-techy!
And we all had our own
microphones to talk through,
so no shouting in class anymore :D
[
Not that I do that anyway, but having that option is a bonus!]
And
GOOD FOOODDDDDD!!
Like, finally!
So I'm quite excited to go to school tomorrow!
And it's gonna be Law!
I'll be praying for a good lecturer!!
Afternote: WOW. Blogger's glitch of bunches of words is really annoying me. ): Please please let it be fixed soon!
