Wanted: Miracle
Someone complained (you know who you are) that my blog is getting boring.
Well, I'm sorry that I'm not going to Japan. That would be exciting (for some people).
Anyway, was talking to Pamela last night about yesterday's trip.
She wondered if I was the kinda person who always thinks people hate him even though nobody actually does.
I said no, I'm the kinda person who always thinks the girl he likes hates him, but doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks.
In addition, I have this extraordinary ability to see past my strong suits and pick at my weaknesses, then conclude that girls have no reasons to like me.
How do you reverse 22 years of self-pity and fear of failure?

Dreading June
Don't want June to come.
Cuz I'll be graduating. Change can be so scary.
Cuz I'll (hopefully) be working. Change can be so scary.
Cuz Jovina'll be leaving. Change can be so scary.
In whom will I confide after she's gone? I mean, yeah I can talk to Luis. But who can provide a girl's perspective? And most important of all, who can be my spy, my informant, my tap?

God's Sovereignty vs. Human's Responsibility
Went to the first "Everything I Know About God, I Learned at the Movies" session at SAIT today. We saw 25 minutes of Bruce Almighty. Brought out the idea of God's sovereignty, and someone mentioned that, if God was in control of everything, where does freewill come from? And what and how much are men responsible for?
I suppose it also applies to dating and marriage. (Sorry, that's all I think about these days.) While I believe God's in control in my life, to what extent do I need to be working for finding my other half? Specifically, at what stage do I take charge and ask a girl I'm interested in out on a date? I think that would be a good first question.

I Really Want You to Really Want Me...
I Really Want You
James Blunt
I really want you
I really want you
Many prophets preach on bended knee
Many clerics wasted wine
Do the bloody sheets and those troubled streets mean
I have wasted time?
Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy untold
* I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that (really want you)
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it's so hard for you to do that (really want you)
Time's running out as often it does
And often dictates that you can't do that (really want you)
Fate can't break this feeling inside
That's burning up through my veins...
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you
Now...
+ No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart + *
I really want you
I really want you
Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or when mother earth complained
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain?
They say a million people bow and scream
To an effigy of gold
As so life begin
And the ship we're in
And history unfold
Repeat *, +

Interview?
It was so difficult to stop the first time.
Now it's resumed, and it's consuming my entire being.
I can't get her out of my mind. It's not sweet; it's painful. It'd be sweet if we were together. But we're not. And it's painful.
Hyman said, if you don't try, you won't know the outcome.
My philosophy is, if I don't know the outcome, I won't try.
Who's right? Is asking a girl out really that much like a job interview?
I'd willingly subject myself to rejection by a company, a potential employer. But when it comes to girls... it's just not the same, is it?
I don't know... must one try in order to find out?

Doors
Perhaps God opening a door for me isn't good enough. Perhaps He needs to push me through it. Or at least put up direction signs.
Is this just a lack of faith?

Bonne Anniversaire
Today marks the first anniversary of this blog. Thank you, dear friend, for faithfully reading it. It keeps me writing.
Matthew 6
Do Not Worry
v.25: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
v.26: Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
v.27: Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
v.28: "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
v.29: Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
v.30: If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
v.31: So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
v.32: For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
v.33: But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
v.34: Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
v.25: 所以我告訴你們, 不要為生命憂慮吃甚麼, 喝甚麼; 為身體憂慮穿甚麼. 生命不勝於飲食麼? 身體不勝於衣裳麼?
v.26: 你們看那天上的飛鳥, 也不種, 也不收, 也不積蓄在倉裡, 你們的天父尚且養活他. 你們不比飛鳥貴重得多麼?
v.27: 你們那一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢?
v.28: 何必為衣裳憂慮呢? 你想野地裡的百合花怎麼長起來; 他也不勞苦, 也不紡線.
v.29: 然而我告訴你們, 就是所羅門極榮華的時候, 他所穿戴的, 還不如這花一朵呢!
v.30: 你們這小信的人哪! 野地裡的草今天還在, 明天就丟在爐裡, 神還給他這樣的妝飾, 何況你們呢!
v.31: 所以, 不要憂慮說: 吃甚麼? 喝甚麼? 穿甚麼?
v.32: 這都是外邦人所求的, 你們需用的這一切東西, 你們的天父是知道的.
v.33: 你們要先求他的國和他的義, 這些東西都要加給你們了.
v.34: 所以, 不要為明天憂慮, 因為明天自有明天的憂慮; 一天的難處一天當就夠了.
Especially comforted by verse 27.

Keep an eye out for James Blunt's Winter North American Tour. If we're lucky, he might come to Calgary. :-D
Colors
Absolutely in love with Amos Lee's Colors right now, which I first heard in an episode of House. Beautiful falsetto, heart-melting guitar melody, short and sweet (less than 3 minutes). Just can't get enough of it and can't get tired of it.
Colors

Music & Lyrics: Amos Lee
From: "Amos Lee", Track #7
Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Felling like such a mess
Now I’m down I’m just hanging on the corner
I can’t help but reminisce
When you’re gone all the colors fade
When you’re gone no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone
Colors seem to fade
Your mama called she said that you’re down stairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Yeah I hear you you’re in the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summertime dress
I know we all, we all got our faults
We get locked in our vaults and we stay
But when you’re gone all the colors fade
When you’re gone no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone
Colors seem to fade
Colors seem to fade
Yeah

It's a shame, really.

Cryptic
Just realized that "Apple" is the perfect codename.
Just 9 letter shifts and 1 reversal apart.
See if you can crack it. ;-)
Haha, yeah, I know I'm being cryptic. Actually, I enjoy being cryptic. I think it makes me feel superior over the lot of you.

Shivers
Just seeing the Piazza San Marco in Venice as the backdrop on Jay Chou's website sent shivers down my spine... so familiar, yet so much like a distant dream...
Feels as though I lost something... something special... something beautiful... something romantic...
I really, really want to go back... just seeing it again takes my breath away...

Mutuality
Is it possible for a girl to not just be touched by the way I feel about her, but for her to feel the same way about me? To be as completely enamored with me as I am with her? To be as captivated, as fascinated, as spellbound by me as I am by her?
Se sì, il mio amore, ora vieni a me. Ti cerco.
Se sì, il mio amore, ora vieni a me. Ti cerco.
Tu dove sei?
Alla Luce Dal Sole
Josh Groban
Music: Maurizio Fabrizio
Lyrics: Guido Morra
"Josh Groban", Track #1
Qui c'è il buio fuori di me
Ed anche un pò dentro di me
Che assurdità questa città senza persone
Io non so spiegare neanche come
Ma non è questa la mia dimensione
E la mia mente non è mai in pace
E sempre altrove
Tu dove sei? La tua voce dov'è?
Senza di te, senza il tuo aiuto
Che sarà di me?
Tutto sembrerà migliore
Alla luce che verrà dal sole
Questa notte passerà
Il buio che c'è si dissolverà
Si vedranno le colline
Io continuerò a cercare te
Via da questa malinconia
Invidia o rabbia che sia
Qui nel mio cuore
Non voglio più queste parole
Tu dove sei? Il tuo sorriso dov'è?
Senza di te, senza il tuo amore
Che sarà di me?
Tutto sembrerà migliore
Alla luce che verrà dal sole
Questa notte passerà
Il buio che c'è si dissolverà
E alla luce di quel sole
Io continuerò a cercare te
Tutto sembrerà migliore
Alla luce, al sole
Il silenzio morirà
La gente che c'è si confonderà
E alla luce di quel sole
Io continuerò a cercare te

Election Rant
Was listening to The Current on CBC Radio this morning. The hot election topic remains same-sex marriage and Tories leader Stephen Harper's promise to put it through Parliament votes again.
Those in favour of same-sex marriage argue that the old definition of marriage (that of the union between one man and one woman) was unconstitutional. Therefore, it needs to be scrapped for a new definition.
First of all, let me refer again to the point I made, incidentally, exactly six months ago. I said that the original definition of marriage was not discriminating to gays and lesbians because they were as free as the rest of us to marry straight, and as forbidden as the rest of us to marry gay.
Second of all, and I've already stated this point, as an insitution that predates government laws, legislations, and consitutions, holy matrimony is outside these jurisdictions and therefore its definition cannot be changed through any of these avenues. No governmental bodies wield any power over the definition of marriage.
Third of all, if marriage is deemed unconstitutional despite having been in place long before governments, what's next? Family is unconsitutional? Religion is unconstitutional? Chickens are unconstitutional? Give me a break. How long before government is unconstitutional? Or the constitution is unconstitutional?
A liberal government ventures forward, seeking to break all taboos and fight for rights and freedoms, blatantly ignoring all responsibilities and consequences that result. They grant the right to carry arms, then watch idly by as gang violence runs wild in the streets of Toronto. They encourage sexual freedom and promiscuity, then watch idly by while countless families fall apart. They promote a woman's right to control her body, then watch idly by as a perfectly healthy individual is flushed down the drain. They protect children from abuse, animals from cruelty, and the environment from pollution, but allow the unborn to be ruthlessly murdered. That's what a government does for us? Kill innocents, tear families apart, and take the right to life away from defenseless lives?
In a week's time, I'll be voting Conservatives. How about you?

Logic
Came up with a theory the other day, which I thought I should share with you.
My observation is that, girls younger than I generally are in relationships already, and that, girls who are not currently in relationships generally are older than I.
Based on the observation, the theory is that in a few years' time, when the girls younger than I have reached the age of the girls older than I, they will no longer be in relationships.
Which leaves me with two options: a) Go for an older girl, or b) Wait a few years, while the younger girls work through their breaking-ups.
Cynical, is it not?

Troubled
Hypothetical situation:
Suppose I started having feelings for someone, a Christian girl, currently not involved in a relationship, a good two years older than I, but we don't see each other since we don't go to the same church, and we only talk very occasionally online. What shall I do?
Of course, "hypothetical situation" works about as well as "My friend has this problem"...
Still too bloody warm for January weather in Calgary. Still napping too bloody much. Was supposed to go skating at 7 tonight; went to nap at 6:50 and didn't get up till midnight.
Ahh bloody hell... I'm going back to bed.

Unbeevable. Just passed 300 entries. I must say, though, that the past century has been rather too much ado about nothing. Needa start writing with more substance. Starting with #302.
Random Thoughts in the Morning
Man... my sleeping hours have been so messed up that I've lost all willpower to blog. Or perhaps my past week has been so filled with naps that I don't have anything interesting to blog about anymore.
Well, there was a disturbing conversation that I had the other day with a stranger. But that's staying off these pages.
Federal elections are coming up. This will be my first time at the polls. Some reports say Harper's Conservatives are leading at the moment, but I don't think it's realistic to expect a Tories majority government.

Ungodly
Coming to class at this ungodly hour just might be the end of me this term.
Napped 5pm to 11pm last night, so couldn't sleep again... tried to will myself to sleep around 5am but only lasted 20 minutes... got up, showered, then stuffed coffee, icecream, and cheesecake down my esophagus... that probably explains the queasy feeling I've got from my throat down...

Sore Thumb
My my my... first day of classes, 7 minutes into this course, and I already figured out this prof's favourite word.
"Basically".
Gosh, we're halfway through this lecture now, and she must've used it like a hundred times.
It was so bad that the moment I figured it out, I nearly burst out laughing at the back of the room. That would've been embarrassing.

Uproar
Just caught the third period and OT of the Flames-Canucks game tonight. Two words: F-ckin' refs!!!
In a game won and lost entirely on the PP, the refs gave the Canucks three straight powerplays in the final ten minutes of the third and into overtime, and the Canucks duly scored on all three. Let's recap: McCarty hooking minor, 10:31 third - Carter goal, 12:29; Huselius holding the stick, 18:04, Robyn Regehr tripping, 18:42 - Salo goal, 19:30; Leopold tripping, 0:56 OT - Morrison goal, 2:53.
Four soft/phantom calls, three powerplays, three goals. Game over.
Are you telling me all the Canucks hits were clean over that span? I distinctly recall Jerko Ruutu leaping off his feet to get a Flames D-man on the boards. Where the hell was the charging call?

Frustration
Okay, seriously getting very, very pissed off with my laptop. The fact that it cannot handle full load for any extended period of time renders it pretty much useless for games. And if I'm not using it for games, this thing is too heavy to be lugging around for "work".
Seriously considering selling it and getting a 14-incher.

Tears
I know I'll probably get smacked for this... but I'll tell it anyway.
Nearly cried when mother walked into my room and asked about my grades.
Just being reminded of my GPA literally brought tears to my eyes. Had to fight them back.

Plummet
Sigh... GPA went down again this term...
I suppose I can't complain, considering the minimal amount of efforts I put in...
3.36... the worst since year 2...
Oh well... at least no C's... though I did get two B-'s...

 You are a natural born leader, even if those leadership talents haven't been developed yet. You have the power and self confidence to succeed in life, and your power grows daily. Besides power, you also have a great deal of creativity that enables you to innovate instead of fail. You are a visionary, seeing the big picture instead of all of the trivial little details. Your strength: Your supreme genius Your weakness: Your inappropriate sensitivity Your power color: Gold Your power symbol: Star Your power month: January |
Could this be right...?
| Your Personality Profile |
 You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong. |
Honestly, I was impressed...
| You Are 22 Years Old |
 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
