Met up with Gerry Kong
It was splendid.
God kept His word as He whispered to me when i said grace, "It will be fun."

Haven had a conversation with such depth for a really really long time.

The wind is like God.
You cant see it, but you can feel it.
It s hands will touch the leaves and direct its path.

Captured Light
I went to prom tonight.
Spent a total of 206 bucks,
Armed with a DSLR and a flash light
I took so many photos.

Photos were the main highlight
We take with those whom we cherish
Those whom we find dear to us
Those who shaped our JC life.

On the way home,
I was alone,
Not exactly alone, but alone.
Likewise in the photos
What if we stood beside no one
And I placed my arm around
An imaginary friend?

Alone
The Creative created me unique,
Only I am like...
Me.
The Infinite gave me breath
The Majestic formed me from dust
One special day, I will be worse than rust
And then these photos
Will matter no more.

*Smiles*

I am free.
I've always been free, in the name of Jesus, but i am free from A levels now.
The feeling of constant studying and fretting over my grades and future is gone, but fresh in my memory.
The need to listen to music to block out noise...
The need to find people to study with.
The bus rides.
The TUTORIALS.
7 to 7 life style.
JC was a blast, and God s grace was what pulled me through and through.

I am in a new phase, and i think i like it.

Mission trip was a total blast.
I LOVED IT :D
It was awesome.
God turned up every single day, and prepared the spiritual ground for us to work.
There were so many healing miracles.
The rain stopped because we persist in our praying and we believed God would answer.
It was the first rally night. People actually went back to their nearby house to get umbrellas and come back to watch the concert.

God answered our prayer as we entered the second school.
We prayed and God answered.
We prayed because we didnt go Philippines to be told we are denied access to a school.
To hold a Godly concert.

The response was so awesome, everyone readily commits their life to Jesus Christ.
The people over there are so friendly, their smiles are deeply embedded in my mind.
The children are so warm. And i have to admit, so awesomely cute and good looking.

The living conditions for us was quite a change.
I took one or two days to get used to the pails and buckets, with toilet bowls without the seat.
It was actually kinda fun to experience it all.
We all missed it when we came back.

Jeepney rides are the love.
The accent.
Youth Impact. Y-okay Y-okay. Pastor Dan-iel.

Balot. Dried mangoes. Shopping. Peso.
Snockling.
Above all. God.
His love.

The kids ministry.
The hazy dust. They are so cheeky, both the boys and girls. But still adorable.
The villages. The houses.
Olango.
The motorkate.
The motorbike rides :D
The flies, and pile of dust.
Sleeping on hard floor, having to blow the mat every single day.
The 10 min bathing rule, having to wait for your turn.
Uncle Toby bars save the night!

The people, translators, God s children.
Sister Cherlie, Sheena, Josephine, Sharon, Precious.
Brother Titus.
FIRECARCKERS!
The awesome Encouragement Cards :D

I am so excited to see God move in Church of God Lapu Lapu.
The upcoming dome. The church building is rising.
The food...i wish there were more veggies but its okay :D
ARGH the fish and their cursed bones.
And so so much rice...overdose.
But i LOVED IT STILL :D

Colin and the rat catching incident.
The poor rat drowned, it squealed for mercy before it was dropped into the bottle.

MY AWESOME AWESOME group!

Zhong hua, Sherie, Me, Evan, Sam, Mindy, Esther, Zeena, Mu Xin, James, Zi Xin.
The group dynamics was :D

The running to spread the gospel.
The Brisaya language, i must say i kinda like it.
Linkod, what a magic word.
Mu En with his spontaneous acting.
Kenneth with his God given talent of magic tricks.

I've grown a lot by faith through the trip.
God s presence was so....around me...all the time.

The smiles...i just wont forget them.
