Slightly embarrassed...
Unka Glen suggested writing out a relationship ‘fairy tale’ so that one can be more certain of what they want in a healthy, Godly relationship that would lead to a marriage and union that would glorify God.
I just wrote mine out; there was plenty of warm fuzzies, plenty of doses of reality (I guess I wanted to keep my expectations real so that it still seems possible in my head for...

Apart from church, Sundays are for:
- long leisurely lunches
- long leisurely walks or drives with conversation that goes wherever we please
- afternoons spent dancing to some Gotan Project, George Benson, Ella Fitzgerald or the like in the living room
- chasing and wrestling on the couch which might lead to whatever you choose to imagine ;D and trust me when I say I won’t be holding...
edwina-sp00nhands asked: What you said on my reblogged photoset, I agree with it completely.

Recently involves crawling under the sheets with a CS Lewis Signature Series Book (currently devouring “The Four Loves”), slowly to begin with because not only is every single sentence bursting at the seams with mind-blowing wisdom and insight, it is written using some words that require me to reach for a dictionary every so often to understand and in a style that forces you to read...

Hey there 2012!
(source)
It will be another year gone in merely minutes. Perplexing how as you grow older the year just seems to disappear without a chance for you to comprehend what has happened. Or perhaps this happens only when you’ve had a year like mine.
If you told me this time last year that I would find myself in the most livable city in the world, with a whole new set of friends, a slightly...

9 - Something you learned about yourself recently
_____
I felt it appropriate to answer this on the very last day of 2011, simply because in remembering all the things I’ve learned about myself, I also remember the experiences that brought about these lessons and changes.
I learned that I have endurance. That if I push myself really hard, I can actually get something done. Granted the...

8 - The latest random thing that happened to you
_____
Wow! It’s been ages since I’ve done this! (again)
Random thing. Hmm…
I was watching “De Vrais Mensonges” (Beautiful Lies) yesterday with mum. It was one of the six films I borrowed for a marathon whilst recuperating from the hectic 3 weeks I had at work. It stars Audrey Tatou and Sami Bouajila. Such a cute...
Nostalgia's a pain...
I miss my old street and the sound of the trees when the wind blows outside my window. I miss having a place to enjoy the stars at night. I miss the openess I could have with my best friends, laughing, chatting and getting lost with each other for hours. I miss being with my first love, his hugs and kisses, breathing his scent in. I miss many familiar things. Painful of all I miss the part of...
I know it's an inside joke but I had not laughed...
Me: Hey, it'd be pretty ironic if you were gone and I came back. I'd lose the chance to give you a really early birthday present and see my really late one!
J: *laughs* Yeah, well I can always just pass through Melbourne on the way back.
Me: *laughs harder* Then I can show you around the store, goad you into buying something.
J: And you could give me directions to the "Mac" store.
*both laugh*
People, it's the Apple--not the Mac--store!
Had an awesome birthday weekend... →

7 - One unlucky thing that happened recently and your thoughts on it
_____
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done this! And I’m sorry to disappoint you with such an underwhelming answer.
I had the misfortune of a work mix up last Friday when I thought I was working during the afternoon and instead worked at night till closing. Which meant that I lost the opportunity to hang...

So Ben called and said that due to a combination of situations he won’t be able to come down my way this week.
:(
As much as I was looking forward to seeing my best friend again I understood where he was coming from and it’s not the end because he’s planning to come down when things ease up around January (yes!)
I knew he was struggling of late to pick up the pieces and get...
Currently reading a page-turner ^_^
The manuscript for what, God-willing, might be Mom’s first fictional thriller novel. I’m reading as she’s writing a synopsis to send to a publishing company. For some reason I find plenty of things that aren’t supposed to be funny completely hilarious, which is unnerving her slightly :D
But the story is amazing and I’m loving the characters. It’s funny because...

Things that take time...
I don’t know why it took this long for me to believe that one of my best friends could really care for me just because I exist. That he would simply enjoy my company and our conversations. I’m so terribly insecure.
Today Jon called out of the blue, just to say hi and catch up properly. We talked about everything and conversation went everywhere, varying in depths and topics. He...

6 - Last book you read and thoughts on it
_____
I’m actually ploughing through three different books at the moment. For my quiet times I’ve been going through “Romans: The Heart Set Free” by Gordon Ferguson, which has been absolutely amazing because it’s leaning more into Christian apologetics. When you’re dealing with the book of Romans—which is my...

5 - Recent development in one particular relationship of yours
_____
Well, actually relationships, in particular romantic relationships, have been out of my mind for a while now. I’ve been happily pursuing a healthier relationship with God and improving on the friendships I have. Also, with understanding what it actually takes to be in a Godly, non-destructive, pure relationship, I...

Hype Night
I attended my first work event, which happened to be the Christmas season Hype Night for L’Occitane here in Victoria. Needless to say, it was unlike anything I had experienced before. Like Dad said, I’ve moved up in the world from cleaning toilets to selling toiletries xD Hey, at least they’re the best in the market!
The event was held on Chapel Street, in an apartment above...

All that mystery. All that seriousness. And it was that simple ?!

I’ve had a pretty full, slightly emotional day involving an interview (which I believe went so well that the manager was already talking about getting me started next week).
Crashed on the couch for a while, had an animated conversation with Mardie…
Cried over Tangled (again -_-“), had this kind of a conversation with Ben…
This kind of conversation with Jon…

that feeling...
I’m restless, even if I always have something to do. Indeed I have been happily busying myself with getting my portfolios and requirements ready to submit to various universities I’ve applied for. But for the last couple of days, I’ve felt this terrible numbness in my heart. Due to having had more time to reflect, I realised that this numbness came from the feeling that I just...
