Lol. I'm such a brat sometimes. When things don't go my way I all of a sudden get really passive-aggressive and irritable... But I really don't know what to do with this smoked salmon... I don't even like the taste of smoked salmon. Salmon is perfectly tasty on its own... why smoke it? Urgh. ):>

As a lot of stuff draws to a close this year, it seems as though my jam-packed schedule chock full of tiring activities that inhibit thinking on my own time has finally somewhat loosened. After this week DVC will be over and with it all of BM. So crazy. I feel like I'm gonna miss it a lot. And in particular some of the new friends (err not new friends but the people I got to talk to more during badminton...).
This week my friends went back to the Phillippines and it finally hit me how much we're all getting older and getting closer and closer to separation. They're going to freaking college... it's crazy. Sending off the seniors this year feels different because we're actually close this year and it feels as though we got really close this year. A lot of the seniors this year have been really nice or really helpful or I've just talked to them more. It's slightly upsetting that they're graduating in 2-3 weeks!
While I'm glad this year is finally gonna be over and college is (somewhat) in sight. I'm also super not ready for what's to come. Everything just feels like it's super ambiguous and I'm not ready to see that clearly yet. Ahh... well. Just keep on living. :) Just gotta get there.

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
By the way, that student was Einstein. :)

So annoying cause some people lose their values and don't know the meaning of responsibility.

I Don't Care eh, eh, eh, eh. |

Sometimes I'm so stressed. Then sometimes I just wanna power through life like it's nothing.
I want to share my heart, but sometimes there's nobody to do so to. And then I just push it down and let it go.
Finding that it doesn't really matter.

It's like I can finally breathe again. It's amazing what months of desperate prayers can do, or even a morning of desperate prayers and being fully broken in front of God.
YAY! JESUS POWER!

They say holding grudges is bad... hmm... nothing really controversial about that. Amazing the limits people go to hate someone, but how reluctant we are to love each other. There is so much absence of God in everything we do, everything we say that it saddens me. We all need to learn to love.
Unfortunately, its not as easy as it seems. We can't help being human!
Nowadays though, things hardly motivate me. Hate, Love, it has all become distilled in the solvent of life. Its rather satirical, even though I sometimes deny it, I did have a more glorious past -- a more innocent youth. I wish to regain that youthful buoyancy, but sadly I know its not coming back.
However, through this clarity I now know what my priorities are. I don't think I predicted things to turn out like this, but I am hardly one to complain. I have strayed from my shepherd, and He has guided me back. Thank God <3
