Dare to Believe

2011-01-11T17:31:00.000-05:00

It's feeling like the time's run out, But the hour glass, just flipped itself over again, The sun is slowly sinking down, But on the other side a new day awaits to begin. If you dare to believe in life, You might realise that there's no time for talking Or just wait around while the innocent die. No more, we're gonna lose everything, If we believe all the lies, I may fall but I swear

This is what I'm craving right now.

Is there a "slap me" sign on my forehead?

2010-01-26T02:52:00.000-05:00

I've been feeling like a living doormat lately. If I'm not getting frantic emails from students in my class telling me that my recitation time doesn't fit their preferences, I'm getting frantic emails from my colleague telling me that I'm late in giving him the portion of a paper that he was supposed to be responsible for. Oh, and then there's the "I'm sorry, it's just not my priority" lines

So..I got me-self a Nikon Digital SLR Camera this week, and have been going camera happy with everything around me. While I distract myself from this international trade paper that's still due from last semester, here is my attempt at being artistic.

Watching my baby niece Caitlyn gurgle and coo as she tried to put everything within arms reach into her mouth, I came to sharp realization that a lot of who we are today started from when we were her age. I mean, look at her. She wakes up every morning to a mother who naturally wakes up at 6:30-7am who has already cleaned the kitchen, written emails, and checked the latest store fliers of the

Top Ten Song and Dance Numbers of the Decade (er, Year plus a few extras)

2009-12-31T17:36:00.003-05:00

Another year, another decade, another passing of time. I've been obsessed lately with choreographed song and dance numbers, which has almost replaced my love for the movie montage this year. So here you go, and I apologize for having to put Taylor Swift in there. Although I'm way past my tween stage, I had to give credit where it's due. It was, afterall, a pretty entertaining performance.

Credibility

2009-06-15T10:28:00.000-04:00

I was reading today about the prophet Elisha in 2 Kings, and wanted to know more. So of course, I went to my trusty google search and typed in "Elisha" - after filtering out the closely pornographic photos of a certain blond actress, I hit on the links of various bible-history.org, biblestudy.com, bible-this-and-that websites. What struck me was the utter and complete lack of credibility these

The NYTimes published an article on the front page of the website about this crazy new phenomenon spreading amongst teenagers. It's called hugging. Apparently it warranted the calling in of sociologists, psychologists, and other experts to deconstruct why teenagers are now hugging each other as oppose to high fives. I'm sorry, high-fives, but you'll have to move into the corner of has-been

Locked Out

2009-05-27T15:34:00.000-04:00

I had drank one too many vitamin waters and was jones'ing for a local facility to relieve myself. But did anyone notice how public washrooms in New York City is a scarce resource? Don't even bother with local banks, or convenience stores, and when it comes to the coffee shops - you have to buy something. I tried going up to a random floor in an office building but alas, locked out.

Okay, it's an official rule that anyone who uses Fray music at the end of an episode will guarantee at least a shimmer of a tear in my eye. For those of you who caught last night's episode of Brothers and Sisters, how satisfying and yet sad an episode it was. For me, it just felt good to see the writers wrap up a season of lack-luster storylines. The Justin/Rebekah breakup was hogwash. The

One week ago, I found out that I was granted funding for next year as a teaching assistant. In about a week, I will be writing my final exams. Victories and defeats, all within one week.

2009-04-08T10:06:00.001-04:00

I don't get what all the hype was about. The Prayer of Jabez sucks, if you ask me. First, he causes his mother immense pain in childbirth, Then, he prays a simple two liner to God:"Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!"And God granted him his request. Just like that.Justapose that against Hannah, who is

So, this week I had a meltdown. One more job rejection was the last straw on the proverbial haystack. This economic crisis sucks.But, like my mom said, you have to just pick yourself up again. You have to keep swimming, have to not take anything personally, and you have to persevere. I've never been more unsure of the future, and yet more sure that I'm presently where I'm supposed to be.

Yesterday, she declared to God and the rest of the world that

Happiness is just outside my window Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour? Or is happiness a little more like knocking On your door, and you just let it in? Happiness feels a lot like sorrow Let it be, you can't make it come or go But you are gone- not for good but for now Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard Happiness was never mine

It's exam time.

2008-12-07T22:05:00.001-05:00

Of course, it's exam time. And what that means is an increase in random discovery of youtube videos and cool websites. For each day until my last exam on December 17th, I promise to put something entertaining and procrastination-worthy online. Just because it's exam time.

Usually it takes me a good 2-3 months of wanting an album before I actually cough up the $12-15. I know. I'm a fickle music purchaser like Sally was a fickle eater.

Living in Toronto for the past few months, I've compiled a small list of things I've learned from this city: 1. How to weave in and out of busy streets with parked cars on the side of the street. It's all about checking your blindspot first, and squeezing in at the lights. 2. The express lane on highway 401 isn't necessarily express. In fact, nothing on the highway is actually fast.... 3.

Ever play the "six degrees of kevin bacon?" - well, i think i just played the online version, cuz i just spent the past half hour browsing through people's blogs that were linked from one friend to another to another...and i've come away with two revelations: 1. I suck at programming. Man! I gotta learn how to get those cool pictures and gadgets like quotations or pretty fonts or weird design

....you know what i realized today? You ever get into class, and as soon as the prof starts his lecture your eyes get all droopy and then your head gets heavy...and you start doing the bobbing thing, and then in an attempt to stay awake you start fidgeting your leg or holding your eyelids open with your fingers?? Well, i get that feeling pretty much everyday in most of my classes. I can't help

haha...i'm on a blogging binge...But last night, i was talking to a good friend and she said something that I had to repeat, because it challenges my very thinking of purpose in this life.Some time ago, i made the resolution never to 'fall into anything again' and to make everything in life a CHOICE. To CHOOSE who i wanted to be, not to just be defined by the circumstances life apportioned to me

A commentator on James Dobson, Focus on the Family: “however, as I read about his implicit desire to blur the line between church and state, I am struck with the futility of the church pretending to be a dominant voice in culture. Dobson represents those who would assert that the church ought to just dig in the trenches and prepare for battle against the onslaught of rampant immorality- as if it

Who knew that when they said, "one step forward and two steps back" they could very well have meant it in the context of loss carryovers??! Tax is applicable for LIFE!! "In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes." (Benjamin Franklin) ...and...i am a nerd. Yes. I know.

Peace. It seems as though we've been living with the conflict in the Middle East for so long, that it had become just another part of the landscape that is our world. But now, there is hope of a new world order. When we think of the greatest events in this century, an end to the Palestinian antifada will be on the top of that list. Though this is yet a tenuous peace, just think of all the

can you do the cancan? Candice Li, I am so proud of you. I'm not in the habit of giving endorsements or advertisements, but in this case I cannot help but applaud. One of my best friends just started a blog, and as contrite as the act seems, this IS a big deal. After nearly 7 years of friendship, how could i not know how big deal this is? You're stepping outside yourself, Candice. I hope you

Trapped Ever since I can remember, I've been nipping at the heels of "catching up on my work." It never gets done, and I'm always one step behind life. By God's grace, I actually have time to breathe this semester, and I find I don't know what to do with myself. After lifting my head from the sands, this ostrich has come to realize that she is all alone in the desert. In a way, busyness has
