百感交集

Tainted joy...

Not enjoying this anymore...

百感交集

So much has happened in so little time.

I'm excited, scared, worried, filled with self-doubt, yet ecstatic at the same time.

*Deep breath*

A lot of planning to do, a lot of praying for guidance, a lot of learning, a lot of communication, a lot of sacrifice.

But it's worth all that.

She's worth all that.

From 她的睫毛 - 周杰倫

她的睫毛 彎的嘴角 無預警的對我笑
沒有預兆 出乎預料 竟然先對我示好
她的睫毛 彎的嘴角 用眼神對我拍照
我戒不掉 她的微笑 洋溢幸福的味道

她粉嫩清秀的外表 像是多汁的水蜜桃 誰都想咬
她嘴上亮麗的唇膏 有一股自信的驕傲 我看得到

Heh...

Ecstatic... yet anxious...

What's gonna happen? Nobody knows.

I'm just learning to have faith.

In the meantime, good luck trying to wipe this smile off my face.

More... Joys

The Joy of Competition...

The Joy of Winning...

The Joy of Accomplishment... of Achievement...

The Joy of Creativity... of Invention...

The Joy of Success...

The Joy of Battle... of Confrontation...

The Joy of Challenge... of Overcoming Challenge...

The Joy of Insight... of Understanding...

The Joy of Scoring...

In summary...

The Joy of Soccer.

Still... Joyful

Some... unpleasant things... have happened.

Yet... I don't feel... depressed.

Maybe because I'm really learning to trust in God...

Or maybe because I just played soccer...

I know God is my refuge... but soccer is like... my second refuge.

A place where I can be lost to my troubles... my problems... my sadnesses.

What I wanted... or what I thought I wanted... I'm not even chasing it that badly anymore.

Que será, será.

Life goes on.

Things happen.

Yet... I've been feeling a sense of peace and joy like never before.

People around me have said I've looked happier. Smiling more.

The scary thing is... I've noticed it too.

Even things that used to matter to me... things that would've devastated me... don't bother me anymore.

I think it's a good sign. I think I'm growing up.

The joy I'm feeling... is like a peaceful spring... clear, unobtrusive, quiet... yet occasionally bubbling over, or erupting like a geyser.

Words cannot describe how good I feel...

2007 Telvent Christmas Party

Just wanted to write down some notes about the wines offered at the company Christmas party.

Zenato Pinot Grigio

A decent white, not exactly packed with fruit. Still, the most enjoyable of the evening.

Zenato Valpolicella DOC Superiore

Might be just me, but I found it unbearable. From the aroma to the taste to the mouthfeel. Sharp - nay, harsh - to the system, burns the back of the throat. I put the glass down and refused to let it further spoil an otherwise decent entrée.

Yellow Tail Shiraz

My guess is shiraz just isn't the grape for me. Goes down easier then the Valpolicella, but you get what you pay for, and with the Yellow Tail you're not paying for great wine. I also set my glass down.

After the two reds, I had a terrible aftertaste in my mouth that I wanted to wash out with a pint of Guinness. I think that says a lot.
