The Final Touches19. Become a girly-girl-Learn to do make-up and hair.I've never been high maintenance, but I think it's about time to learn the fine art of cosmetic application.

As mentioned in the last post, here is my "Quarter Century List"; 25 things which I want to accomplish before my 25h birthday (about a year from today). Let's hope I will accomplish them all, and I will definitely keep a good record of it here!Spiritual1.

As a chronic planner/control freak, it comes without surprise that I have five-year-plans, and ten-year plans. Remember those assignments in high school career class? "Where do you see yourself in five years...ten years?" I would devour those quiet moments, coordinating the most meticulous plans possible.Recently, the desire to update my life plans has resurfaced. Perhaps it's due to watching "A

Urbana Day 1- Dec. 27, 2009After multiple delays, the bus arrived at St. Louis around 2:30 pm. After checking in to the conference, I realized the hotel I was to stay in was one of the farthest from the venue. There began my long 30 min. walk to the hotel...alone. Another thing that surprised me was the continuous down pour of snow. Having been to southern parts of the states before, I was hoping

To be honest, I miss blogging tremendously.Somehow, conveying my ideas into written words has always helped me formulate and organize things better than leaving them in my mind.

While vacationing with family last month, I came across this poem in a Gideon Bible. Taking a hotel paper pad and pen, I copied down the poem. It is currently recopied into my own Bible.

In the month of September? This certainly sounds more like the title of a New Year's blog...rather than a random, towards the end of year thing.However, there's great reasons to evaluate (and re-evaluate) one's life path every so often.

The past few days, I have been doing some serious reflection (although I should have been working on a crucial research paper). Somehow, Robert Frost's famous poem came to mind. In many aspects of my life, I am rather indecisive. I have daring goals, and hard to reach dreams. I plan, I research, I re-plan...then...perhaps...act.Decision-making. Isn't it so frustrating?

Yay! Love is in the air! How would you define love? As I have limited knowledge on the subject, quoting others is the best I can do...for now. See if you agree with the following statements! 1.

I love this song!There are moments when I feel so lost, as though each day seems a remake of the day before...and the days to follow just replicas of today's blue print. If that is really the case, what then is there to fuel my anticipation for tomorrow? What then gives me the drive for today?This song reminds me that, each day, each moment, counts. I should treasure it...even more than money!

Reflection on Chapter 4 (Counterculture Romance) and Chapter 5 (Looking up "love" in God's Dictionary):Of all the radical ideas presented in Chapter 4, the one about not pursuing a romantic relationship before being ready for marriage has got me thinking the most.Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with it. After all, pursuing one for recreational purposes is selfish, and time consuming. But

Reflection on Chapter Three (The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating):There is much that I agree with in this chapter! However, I do not wish to quote excessively from the book, but rather, think more in-depth about how it applied/applies to my life."Dating may help you practice being a good boyfriend or girlfriend, but are these the skills we need for marriage? Even if you're going out

Reflection on Chapter Two (The Little Relationship Principle):"Where is true joy? It's found in God's brand of love- love founded on faithfulness, love rooted in commitment. The joy of intimacy is the reward of commitment." p.34This concept somehow reminds me of a lunch time discussion that took place in a high school cafeteria years ago. There I was, munching on a nutritious sandwich (which

I've decided to re-read I Kissed Dating Goodbye (by Joshua Harris) for this week. Since this is my third time reading through the book, I will be partly skimming through it. Hopefully, time will permit me to write about what really stands out at me. As well, I want to see how the concepts mentioned in this book can apply to my current stage of life.Caution: The following is MY reflection after

During junior high, I was blessed by my Sunday School teachers, who covered the topic of dating in class. At the moment, I didn't realize how much I would benefit from their teachings. And it was only years later, through discussions with friends who attended other churches, that I became aware of how infrequently touched upon this topic is (in Sunday school). I wish more churches and teachers

Today, I will once again look back at those years old journal entries penned by a rather impatient teenager, who grew up to be a rather impatient young adult. As I haven't read this diary for a long while, I am positively surprised by how "mature" I sounded, considering I was at a rather young age. Reading through the entries, I have been encouraged by my younger self, as though I dared to

The following excerpts are taken from my high school devotional journal, which I titled "Thoughts, Prayers and Blessings". As mentioned before, many of the pages in this little hard-covered notebook were etched with messages about singleness and waiting upon the Lord. I've decided to re-visit these journal entries not because they reflect how I feel about this topic currently. Instead, I want

In yesterday's entry, I stated that I have been urged to write about singleness online for the "past little while". Actually, the idea to do so has been around for...more than a year now. The reason for postponing this reflection? Fear.Just as I hesitated about starting an online blog that is made available to many parts of the world, I hesitated about posting piano playing videos on Youtube.

For the last little while, I feel urged to scribble down my thoughts on singleness and waiting on God for provision. To be truthful, I am a rather seasoned writer on the whole "waiting for the one" process. A skim through my high school diary would confirm that. Pages after pages dedicated to the topic, some written on the verge of tears, with words conjured out of confusion and frustration.

"How old are you kid?" the young secretary at the music school asked. "FOUR??!" she exclaimed, counting the number of fingers I held up from my hand. "Sorry, but the youngest pupils we accept are five. Come back next year."With that, my head dropped and my heart sank. One whole year! Feeling dejected, I turned around and headed towards the door, convinced the road to musical accomplishment is

It all started with an old piano...My older cousins decided to quit piano lessons due to a lack of interest. Not wanting to keep the burgundy piano anymore, they transfered it to my house.And that was how I came to possess a piano at the age of two.As early childhood memories are often blurry, I can only recall bits and pieces of my early piano encounters.I remember...1) The piano as a "

Some spiritual songs that I played on the piano recently. Hope you would like it.I especially chose Blessed Assurance because while waiting in line to be baptized a few weeks ago, the believer standing behind me said, "Isn't it a wonderful time to sing 'This is my story, this is my song...'?" (The chorus from Blessed Assurance).Now, to think about it, it was a wonderful time to sing that song! (

Last week, as I was thinking about my baptism, several emotions ran through me.1) HumilityI realized that being a Christian is not something to boast about...in the sense that it is a declaration that I am a SINNER. It is a recognition that not only have I made mistakes, and fallen short of the expectations of my God and Creator, but I have absolutely no way of working my way to salvation. All

The third and last blog entry I shall right on this topic (unless I walk down this path again somtime soon...which I hope not). Though I was and mostly still remain a very bad comforter of broken hearts, friends tended to ask me for advice when they were faced with such cases. I believe the reason is that I have always sincerely enjoyed single life.So the following is "the list". I must throw in

Sometimes, accompanying someone down a path is best accomplished if you've been down that path before as well.Over the years, I have been blessed with great friends...wonderful friends indeed. As a result, I have always wanted to be as good a friend to them as they have been to me. However, though I offer a pair of ears to listen and shoulder to cry on when their seemingly strong relationships
