i found this when i was searching all over my house
for my 'peanuts' essay
about my first name
your first name has given you a very creative, quick minded approach to life. (creative and quickminded...sounds right)
you desire changes, new experience, and freedom in your thoughts and actions. (yea)
you are driven by the desire to accomplish something worthwhile and have a very searching and analytical mind. (yes)
you have to watch your depression due to attracting disappoinments with people, and restrictions of your enthusiastic endevours. (true)
you are very ambitious, and often have high expectations of yourself and others. (arg...i guess)
you have to watch impulsiveness in decision-making, and yet pride yourself in your implusive, self-making decisions. (i do get impulsive on things i believe in and i usually mess up on my impulsive decisions)
you want freedom of choice in your decisions. (of course)
further fields always look greener, and due to you restless nature it is difficult to be satisfied and settled for long periods. (yes...restless...i need to work on a few things at once)
even when you have just settled, something always comes up, intriguing you to make a change, or through a disappointment which can cause inner turmoil. (change is good...but not always)
you are honest and your word is your bond. (i hope i am and it is)
it upsets you very much if others break their word. (sure it does)
however, your speech can be very candid often causing hurt feelings and misunderstandings. (i don't always express myself the way i want...sorry...i know my speech is candid sometimes)
you are quite intense and when interested in a project have a strong focus and concentration, but once the challenge is removed and the monotonous routine steps in you are ready for a change. (INTENSE is the word!)
you would be fond of anything that is a change for your restless and adventuresome nature. (adventure!)
you have a very intuitive nature and you often have premonitions about future events (i can predict the future...what would you like to know?)
wow...there is something in the name...

blessed be
they are His waves whether they break over us
hiding His face in smothering spray and foam
or smooth and sparkling spread a path before us
and to our haven bear us safely home
they are His waves whether for our sure comfort
He walks across them stilling all our fear
or to our cry there comes no aid nor answer
and in the lonely silence none is near
they are His waves whether we are hard-striving
through tempest-driven waves that never cease
while deep to deep with turmoil loud is calling
or at His word they hush themselves in peace
they are His waves whether He separates them
making us walk dry ground where seas had flowed
or lets tumultuous breakers surge about us
rushing unchecked across our only road
they are His waves and He directs us through them
so He has promised so His love will do
keeping and leading, guiding and upholding
to this sure harbour, He will bring us through

at last
don't remember the last time i was working so hard
submitted another application yesterday
and after every submission
i go through a low
afraid of being judged and criticized on something
i put so much energy and effort into
wondering what will happen
wondering if it's worth all the running around
waking early in the morning
rushing in and out of the office to do personal things
thankfully my boss is great about it
we have so many projects going on
much more than our office can handle
many of them are running on low heat on the backburner
if i was the client
i'd be much more demanding
'what are you doing with my project?'
'when will it be done?'
it's been 3 months since i last heard of a project
2 months since i've heard of another
and weeks of nothing done for another project
and of course, we focus more time on the ones that cost more
free at last
days which i can do whatever i want after work
don't think it will last
i'd like to bring work home to do
only if it's design related
so that we can get things done around the office
and not delay everything

if you want to
i have seen peace.
i have seen pain,
resting on the shoulders of your name.
do you see the truth through all their lies?
do you see the world through troubled eyes?
and if you want to talk about it anymore,
lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
i'm a friend.
i have seen birth.
i have seen death.
lived to see a lover's final breath.
do you see my guilt?
should i feel fright?
is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
and if you want to talk about it once again,
on you i depend.
i'll cry on your shoulder.
you're a friend.
you and i have been through many things.
i'll hold on to your heart.
i wouldn't cry for anything,
but don't go tearing your life apart.
i have seen fear.
i have seen faith.
seen the look of anger on your face.
and if you want to talk about what will be,
come and sit with me,
and cry on my shoulder,
i'm a friend.
and if you want to talk about it any more,
lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
i'm a friend.

all in a days work
it hurts to love someone and not be loved
in return, but what is most painful is to
love someone and never finding the courage
to let the person know how you feel.
maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong
people before meeting the right one
so that when we finally meet the right person,
we should know how to be grateful for that gift.
love is when you take away the feeling,
the passion, the romance-and you find out
you still care for that person.
when one door of happiness closes,
another opens but often we look so long
at the closed door that we don't see the one
which has been opened for us.
the best kind of friend is the one
you could sit on a porch,
and swing with, never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.
it's true that we don't know what
we've got until we lose it,
but it's also true that we don't know
what we've been missing until it arrives.
giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they'll love you back, don't expect love in return,
just wait for it to grow in their hearts
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
there are things you love to hear
but you would never hear it from the person
from whom you would like to hear it,
but don't be deaf to hear it from the person
who says it with their heart.
never say goodbye when you still want to try,
never give up when you still feel you can take it,
never say you don't love that person
anymore when you can't let go.
love comes to those who still hope,
even though they've been disappointed,
to those who still believe,
even though they've been betrayed,
need to love those who still love,
even though they've been hurt before.
there are moments in life when you really
miss someone that you want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real.
hope you dream of that someone.
dream what you want to dream, go where you
want to go, be what you want to be,
cause you have only one life and one chance
to do all the things you want in life.
always put yourself in other's shoes.
if you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the person, too.
a careless word may kindle strife,
a cruel word may wreck a life,
a timely word may level stress,
a loving word may heal and bless.
the beginning of love is to let those
we love be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them with our own image,
otherwise, we love only the reflection of
ourselves we find in them.
the happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything, they just make
the most of everything that comes along their way.
happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt, those who have searched and
those who have tried
for only they can
appreciate the importance of people who
have touched their lives.

enjoying work
although i always dread waking up early each day
i looked at smaller things at work today.
what makes it great.
some people in the office seem to care
that i'm actually a human
not a machine
and generally
they're all good people
we all have smaller groups within the office
people we work closer with one another
when a problem comes up
everyone is involved
maybe because everyone needs to be involved to solve it
what i really enjoy about architecture is team work
haha...and i actually enjoy the rush of deadlines
the projects i work on are great
i learn from them.
i get to design and draw them.
i learn from the people who teach me
very practical aspects of architecture.
how things are put together
how people come together
then i looked at how much fun we have in the office
we celebrate our birthdays
and right now we're having plenty of fun with
the new fancy coffee, cap, espresso machine
i looked at the utensils i used to eat lunch with
haha...yes...i even looked at that...
the plates we use...blah blah...
and they're good
work justified
why i travel so far for it.

high
beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me
there is nothing else in the world
i'd rather wake up and see with you
beautiful dawn - i'm just chasing time again
thought i would die a lonely man, in endless night
but now i'm high; running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again
do you remember the day when my journey began?
will you remember the end of time?
beautiful dawn - you're just blowing my mind again
thought i was born to endless night, until you shine
high; running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
will you be my shoulder when i'm grey and older?
promise me tomorrow starts with you
getting high; running wild among all the stars above
sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
james blunt - high

tears and rain
how i wish i could surrender my soul
shed the clothes that become my skin
see the liar that burns within my needing
how i wish i'd chosen darkness from cold
how i wish i had screamed out loud
instead i've found no meaning
i guess it's time i run far, far away
find comfort in pain
all pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble
hides my true shape, like dorian gray
i've heard what they say
but i'm not here for trouble
it's more than just words: it's just tears and rain
how i wish i could walk through the doors of my mind
hold memory close at hand
help me understand the years
it's more than just words: it's just tears and rain

on thanking
not much time left till i sleep
wanted to write though...
being thanksgiving
looking back at the year...
on school
on graduating
on europe
on work
on family
on friends
......
......
......
took some time to be thankful
for some other things
for the ups...for the downs...
i'm certainly thankful that my mom went to church with me yesterday
and that she'll be going back as fast as next week!
thanks for the prayers
the thoughts
i've got another prayer request
my grandfather is not doing that well.
today we were supposed to all go to the cemetery together
to pay our respects to my wonderful grandmother
but he wasn't feeling well
he is usually very excited to go
but today, on thanksgiving
he said he couldn't go
not even for lunch. =(
my grandfather.
i've lived with him for so many years
.....
.....
.....
just looking back on the things we did together
and how much fun we had when i was small
what we ate together...what he cooked...
what he said about me
what we went through.
and how he laughs and smiles everytime he sees me
i'm thankful for that.

here's a tough one
'do not be anxious about anything.' philippians 4:6
quite a few christians live in a terrible state of anxiety,
constantly fretting over the concerns of life.
the secret of living in perfect peace amid the hectic pace of daily life
is one well worth knowing.
what good has worrying ever accomplished?
it has never made anyone stronger,
helped anyone do God's will,
or provided for anyone a way of escape of of their anxiety.
worry only destroys the effectiveness of lives that would
otherwise be useful and beautiful.
(read this...right after my restless post)
being restless and having worries and cares
are forbidden by our Lord.
he simply means that we are not to worry about
what we eat, drink, and wear. (matt 6:31)
the tone of your voice
your negative attitude
the lack of joy
it is a sign of weakness to always fret,
question everything, and mistrust everyone.
we simply sink in our struggles when we could float by faith.
he deserves our total confidence
so come
my soul,
return to your place of peace
and rest within the sweet embrace of
the Lord Jesus

just you
here comes my first chinese post...
i didn't write any of it though...it's just copied lyrics.
i don't understand much of it
because can't read most of the characters
and also because it's sang in manderin.
but i think i understand it so well.
在距离三公里的位置 我在这里
想象心中的你的呼吸 同样的熄著灯的窗子
你在那里 听不到我呼吸著分离 我走向前 你看不见 真的遥远
就连叹息 影子听见 也是无言
你走向前 我看不见 你的思念
你和我之间 刻著一条界线 不曾有改变
保留著三公分的距离 我的眼里
填满著整个我爱的你 坐在同一张四方桌子边
你的眼里 读不到眷著我的讯息
当爱离开之前 能多苦 能多深 能多甜
距离是你走过我身边
the song hurts.
it's taken me hostage.
________________________________________
can't get enough of your smile.
i wish i could think of nothing but you.
i can then let go of all stresses.
________________________________________
yet another sunday
still lost
still looking
still finding my way out this dark tunnel.
whisper so i can find my way out.
happy thanksgiving...
everyday needs to be thanksgiving.
i will recount my year of needed thanks.
it's about time!

you're beautiful
relentless tireless restlessness
10 pounds in my head
3 pound wounds
2 pound wonder
4 pound people
1 pound direction
poured out
3 pound distress
2 pound care
2 pound comfort
1 pound healing
add them up, take them away, mix it around
after reading the book 'wild at heart'
thanks for it =)
i found out i had open wounds
i never knew about
it teaches how they can be healed
my wounds deeply personal
and the book says that
everybody has been wounded
i see everybody so much more differently than before
even sometimes it makes me want to have
not read the book
something very small can alter my thought
most of the time i think i'm asking for too much
is it?
who knows
ah...the wonders of life.
and i'm discovering that
i'm an apologetic fool who tries
relentlessly, tirelessly, restlessly
to please everyone
i'm tired.
don't give up though
'come to me, all who are weary and burdened and i will give you rest.'
thanks

can't get enough of this song
you're beautiful - james blunt
my life is brilliant.
my love is pure.
i saw an angel.
of that i'm sure.
she smiled at me on the subway.
she was with another man.
but i won't lose no sleep on that,
'cause i've got a plan.
you're beautiful. you're beautiful.
you're beautiful, it's true.
i saw you face in a crowded place,
and i don't know what to do,
'cause i'll never be with you.
yeah, she caught my eye,
as we walked on by.
she could see from my face that i was,
flying high,
and i don't think that i'll see her again,
but we shared a moment that will last till the end.
you're beautiful. you're beautiful.
you're beautiful, it's true.
i saw you face in a crowded place,
and I don't know what to do,
'cause i'll never be with you.
you're beautiful. you're beautiful.
you're beautiful, it's true.
there must be an angel with a smile on her face,
when she thought up that i should be with you.
but it's time to face the truth,
i will never be with you.
10 pounds in my head
3 pound wounds
2 pound wonder
4 pound people
1 pound direction
poured out
3 pound distress
2 pound care
2 pound comfort
1 pound healing
add them up, take them away, mix it around
after reading the book 'wild at heart'
thanks for it =)
i found out i had open wounds
i never knew about
it teaches how they can be healed
my wounds deeply personal
and the book says that
everybody has been wounded
i see everybody so much more differently than before
even sometimes it makes me want to have
not read the book
something very small can alter my thought
most of the time i think i'm asking for too much
is it?
who knows
ah...the wonders of life.
and i'm discovering that
i'm an apologetic fool who tries
relentlessly, tirelessly, restlessly
to please everyone
i'm tired.
don't give up though
'come to me, all who are weary and burdened and i will give you rest.'
thanks

can't get enough of this song
you're beautiful - james blunt
my life is brilliant.
my love is pure.
i saw an angel.
of that i'm sure.
she smiled at me on the subway.
she was with another man.
but i won't lose no sleep on that,
'cause i've got a plan.
you're beautiful. you're beautiful.
you're beautiful, it's true.
i saw you face in a crowded place,
and i don't know what to do,
'cause i'll never be with you.
yeah, she caught my eye,
as we walked on by.
she could see from my face that i was,
flying high,
and i don't think that i'll see her again,
but we shared a moment that will last till the end.
you're beautiful. you're beautiful.
you're beautiful, it's true.

there must be an angel with a smile on her face,
when she thought up that i should be with you.
but it's time to face the truth,
i will never be with you.

dear friend
perhaps there is something in your life causing you to question God
do you find yourself saying, 'i do not understand why God allowed my loved one to be taken. i do not understand why affliction has been permitted to strike me. i do not understand why the Lord has led me down these twisting paths. i do not understand why my own plans, which seemed so good, have been so disappointing. i do not understand why the blessings i so desperately need are so long in coming.'
dear friend, you do not have to understand all God's ways of dealing with you. he does not expect you to understand them. you do not expect your children to understand everything you do -- you simply want them to trust you. and someday you too will see the glory of God in the things you do not understand.
