My First Day Officially Off School!

Hello dearest Blogspot! Although I have been away blogging elsewhere, I still love you. You are still my Original Haven. I have been off blogging at Tumblr since it is very accessible, easy to use, and it fits my "busy" days. I can just drop in tidbits of rants and stuff. So there.

It's summer now, for a few days at least. I think in two weeks, enrollment for summer classes will begin. I've thought a lot about how my summer will be. 

• Summer classes (obligatory)
• Attend and sit-in in classes
• Exercise
• Get in touch with art once more
• Apply for a summer job (If my summer class schedule permits it)
• Go to the beach (obligatory with pleasure)
• Save up! Save, save, save!
• Have more freelance work done
• Hong Kong!

These are just plans, and it could change. Don't condemn me if I don't get to do them all, okay? 

Today I slept late, around 3am, but that's not new though. I got up for lunch and watched television in my sister's room until I fell asleep. I woke up around 3pm and had bread and coffee. What do you think? Productive start? Haha. Seriously, I want to exercise soon. Recently I've been weighing myself and the last time I checked I'm at 103lbs. I don't remember going over 100! Maybe there were times in  high school, but I don't remember it at all. 

My new school has got me busy. I've been adjusting and whatnot. Although there were a few subjects I didn't have to attend because I've already taken them up, and although most of my classes (after midterms) were half day, I still felt pretty beaten up at the end of the day. Must be too much rest, yes? But I still suck at time management, always been a problem I haven't really fixed. Also, driving really tires me so much now especially when it's traffic! Otherwise, it's pretty okay. I've also loved driving alone, I enjoy the solitude, if you can call it that. 

Three years! Elwin and I celebrated our third anniversary two days ago. I thought we'd skip the whole celebration thing since he had classes up until 8:30pm. I was home and dressed in my house clothes already when he called after his classes, he said he was on his way and that we had to celebrate somehow. We ate at AA's. It wasn't fancy, but I still enjoyed it. We walked from my house to AA's and walked back after we had our dinner date. He also gave me a chocolate! :D Thank you Lord for the three years. 

My batch mates will be graduating soon, but I have fixed my feelings on that. This is the situation I'm in right now and I've learned to accept it. I'm in fact happy, I've learned more than I could have in my old school and I get to go to the same school as Elwin! I do miss my friends from the old school, but I'll still get to see them. ;)

The whole flying off to America thing, it's a blur. I may or may not be flying off this year. I did tell my mom and dad if we could wait until I graduate. I REALLY WANT TO GRADUATE BEFORE I LEAVE. They said we'll see. 

My sister will be in college soon, she's graduating on the 26th of March. Would have been lovely if we graduated together, but then again, that's not going to happen and I'm glad my parents understand. :)  

This blog entry was just jumping from topic to topic. I was never really good with organizing my thoughts, I know that and that's just how it is. Haha. But it's my blog space and it's been a while. I'm home, once again. :D 

Thank you Lord for being faithful to me this whole semester. You are faithful even if I am not. Amen! Thank you for getting me, Elwin, my sister, and friends through. Elwin and the others still have until next week with their defenses and whatnots, but I thank you Lord in advance. :) 

Let your will be done.

Possible Move

So I'm trying out to blog elsewhere again. I have been enticed with the new features that comes with Tumblr now. And they keep changing and improving, as opposed to blogger, it feels like it's been like this since I've started. Although I only stayed a few months over at Tumblr, I've had my share of fun. In fact, I moved back here since it was TOO MUCH fun over there. Haha. I love blogger, I do. It feels like a more sincere place, not that Tumblr isn't- but it is more friendly and social over there. But I've been blogging a lot lately, not like before where in I pop in twice a month or once in six months. Blogging almost daily has been something I've been trying to do. I'm almost leaving so I'd want to pack up memories I can reminisce to. Blogging daily at Tumblr is just way easier than here, I guess that is why Tumblr is addicting. I can just easily micro blog or easily upload a photo in a jiff.

I will try it out there and let you know how it goes. I still love you blogger. You are afterall my orginal haven. :)

I Gots Me a NEW RAM.

So I finally got my new RAM. I traded in new set of clothes for this baby, and it is well worth it. :)

While we canvassed, I settled for N*Genius (was that the name?) which sold the RAM I needed for 2300php. The store beside it at Ayala new wing- Thinking Tools, sold it for about 2500php plus 100php for installation fee. Gaisano's Interpace sold it for 2200php, but they were out of stock. I've heard PC Express is the cheapet but trying to check PC Express ot has been stalling me for well over half a month now, and so I decide to get it done with.

We were at a dinner party at Grand Convention and I decided to leave for a bit with my sister. We did it quick and we were out in a jiffy. The restroom visit just stalled us a bit. We reached the car when mom called, party was over and my uncle were taking them home. So my sister and I headed straight home, even if we were slightly tempted to stay behind and stroll around. But we decided to be good daughters.

My sister drove us home, her first without dad in the car. Just when we decided to be good daughters, we decided to disobey mom and had Holly drive. I think she technically said that I drive on the way to Ayala, and we were on the way home when she was driving. Haha. We got home, I saw my dad was smiling proudly as Holly parked her car. :) We told him not to tell mom. Haha.

So my 2 old 512MB RAMs were removed and were replaced by a 2GB Kingston RAM with 3 months warranty. The guy said he couldn't very well just "ADD" in the memory since the 2GB and the 512MB RAMs didn't have the same frequency. Sachie told me she had 2GB RAM "added" in. But that was months ago and the guy said my RAM is out of date and is about to be faced out. Oi. New technology every day! Sometimes I just can't keep up.

/* will be uploading photos soon once I find my E71 phone kit and be able to get hold of the CD to install it on the PC and have my phone plugged in */

New RAM baby,

I THIRST.

I was up late on a school night, not that it's unusual. So it was right in the middle of Thursday night going Friday dawn,  realized I was thirsty. No, not thirsty for water- not physical thirst. My soul was thirsty. I was thirsting for the Lord's words.

It has been a long while since I last attended a youth group or fellowship. The Sunday masses have been holding me out long enough, but I honestly am up for God's words- more of it. I was longing for His words more than the rituals man has made. Honestly, and to no offense meant at all (no really, no offense for real), I'd rather attend a church service than a mass. Their's just more depth in a church service, more meat than a mass. Yes, it is up to a person's intimacy with the Lord, but it really does help to digest God's words with fellow Christians.

So I was up, I turned the TV on and scanned for a preaching channel of some sort. I used to watch these before and take down notes, and I did just that.

My notes:

•  God has a plan for you - LIFE.
•  The devil has a plan for you too - misery, pain, death.
•  Adam and Eve wore "robes of light" and had no artificial clothing on
•  Adam and Eve bit the apple and went through spiritual death
•  1 Peter 5:8 warns us to "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
•  Job 1: 7 "The LORD said to Satan, "'Where have you come from?' Satan answered the LORD, 'From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it.'"
•  Why is the devil bad? If you want to hurt somebody, you hurt someone they love. God loves us so much and it hurts Him each time we sin- this is why the devil is after us. He hates Jesus and he goes for us.
•  1 John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." - God is greater than anything else, greater than the one who is in the earth.
•  The devil wanted God's place.
•  The devils' punishment: Revelation 20:10 "And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
•  We are at war: Revelation 12:17 "Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring—those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus."
•  To the devils and his followers: Matthew 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'"
•  Ezekiel 28:18 "By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching."
•  The devil is pure evil. God gave him many chances to repent but he never did.
•  How to protect ourselves from the devil: Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
•  What Jesus used every time: Ephesians 6:17 "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." -- Jesus would always say "It is written."
•  James 4:7-8 "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."

I know my notes are quite a mess, fragments of thoughts- but I think you can put it all together. This is just an outline after all. I know in the future these verses will help me. Not the first time I heard of these verses, but it was nice to here them all again. And in Hebrews 13:5, God is faithful to His promise: I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Even if I go off the course at times, God never leaves me and is always there willing to welcome me into His arms each time I want to run back to Him again. :D   

I am blessed.

I used: http://www.biblegateway.com and chose NIV (New International Version- as is my bible)
