adapted from psalms 18.

I LOVE YOU, O LORD, MY STRENGTH.
THE LORD IS MY ROCK, MY FORTRESS AND MY DELIVERER;
MY GOD IS MY ROCK, IN WHOM I TAKE REFUGE.
HE IS MY SHIELD...MY SALVATION, MY STRONGHOLD...
I AM SAVED FROM MY ENEMIES...
IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED TO THE LORD;
I CRIED TO MY GOD FOR HELP.
FROM HIS TEMPLE HE HEARD MY VOICE;
MY CRY CAME BEFORE HIM, INTO HIS EARS...
THE LORD THUNDERED FROM HEAVEN;
THE VOICE OF THE MOST HIGH RESOUNDED.
HE SHOT HIS ARROWS AND SCATTERED THE ENEMIES,
GREAT BOTLS OF LIGHTNING AND ROUTED THEM...
HE REACHED DOWN FROM ON HIGH AND TOOK HOLD OF ME;
HE DREW ME OUT OF DEEP WATERS.

HE RESCUED ME FROM MY POWERFUL ENEMY,
FROM MY FOES, WHO WERE TOO STRONG FOR ME.
THEY CONFRONTED ME IN THE DAY OF MY DISASTER,
BUT THE LORD WAS MY SUPPORT...
HE RESCUED ME BECAUSE HE DELIGHTED IN ME.
THE LORD DEALT WITH ME ACCORDING TO MY RIGHTEOUSNESS;
ACCORDING TO THE CLEANNESS OF MY HANDS HE HAS REWARDED ME.
FOR I HAVE KEPT THE WAYS OF THE LORD;
I HAVE NOT DONE EVIL BY TURNING FROM MY GOD...
AND HAVE KEPT MYSELF FROM SIN...
TO THE FAITHFUL YOU SHOW YOURSELF FAITHFUL,
TO THE BLAMELESS YOU SHOW YOURSELF BLAMELESS,
TO THE PURE YOU SHOW YOURSELF PURE...
YOU SAVE THE HUMBLE
BUT BRING LOW THOSE WHOSE EYES ARE HAUGHTY.
YOU, O LORD, KEEP MY LAMP BURNING;
MY GOD TURNS MY DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.
WITH YOUR HELP I CAN ADVANCE AGAINST A TROOP,
WITH MY GOD I CAN SCALE A WALL.
AS FOR GOD, HIS WAY IS PERFECT;
THE WORD OF THE LORD IS FLAWLESS.
HE IS A SHIELD
FOR ALL WHO TAKE REFUGE IN HIM.
FOR WHO IS GOD BESIDES OUR LORD?
AND WHO IS THE ROCK EXCEPT OUR GOD?
IT IS GOD WHO ARMS ME WITH STRENGTH
AND MAKES MY WAY PERFECT...
HE ENABLES ME TO STAND ON THE HEIGHTS...
YOU GIVE ME YOUR SHIELD OF VICTORY,
AND YOUR RIGHT HAND SUSTAINS ME;
YOU STOOP DOWN TO MAKE ME GREAT
...
YOU HAVE ARMED ME WITH STRENGTH FOR BATTLE...
YOU HAVE DELIVERED ME...
THE LORD LIVES! PRAISE BE TO MY ROCK!...
HE IS THE GOD WHO AVENGES ME...
THEREFORE I WILL PRAISE YOU AMONG THE NATIONS, O LORD;
I WILL SING PRAISES TO YOUR NAME.
HE GIVES HIS KING GREAT VICTORIES;
HE SHOWS HIS UNFAILING KINDNESS TO HIS ANOINTED, TO...
HIS DESCENDANTS FOREVER.

CHAPTER 17!!!

TURN TO ME AND BE GRACIOUS TO ME,
FOR I AM LONELY AND AFFLICTED.
THE TROUBLES OF MY HEART HAVE MULTIPLIED;
FREE ME FROM MY ANGUISH!!!
LOOK UPON MY AFFLICTION AND MY DISTRESS
AND TAKE AWAY ALL MY SINS.
SEE HOW MY ENEMIES HAVE INCREASED
AND HOW FIERCELY THEY WANT ME TO FAIL!
GUARD MY LIFE AND RESCUE ME;
LET ME NOT BE PUT TO SHAME,
FOR I TAKE REFUGE IN YOU.
MAY INTEGRITY AND UPRIGHTNESS PROTECT ME,
BECAUSE MY HOPE IS IN YOU.

REDEEM ME, O GOD,
FROM ALL MY TROUBLES!

adapted from Psalms 25:16-22

maybe i'm having a muscle cramp

my life is very unglam.there is such a lack of variety.where is the slacking.where is the sitting around laughing my head off with my crazy friends.where are my crazy friends..where has my youth gone.my life is pathetic.pathetically busy.my shoulders are feeling really tense now man.i'm not even doing any work.it must be the overusage of the computer that's keeping my hands on the table and fingers moving all the time.this sucks.i want a break.

what sucks even more is that the worst is yet to come.the work is snowballing,in trinette's terms.i am drowning.i am being eaten alive.i am being flattened by an avalanche of presentations,assignments and expectations.

why do so many people however,look as though they're enjoying life like never before? why am i such a loser?!

oh the horror the horror.

thank God for huishuang,stepho and olive though.tauhuay tonight was a good time in a long time.(:

i love my beauty queen!

very very much.


Today I am pretending
that the sky is bright blue
& my mind is light and clear
without you

When deep inside me
the weather is dark & gray
though "I don't love you"
is all that I say

but take a closer look
you'll know my words aren't true
underneath all this pretense
I still do.

life put itself wrongly back together.

dear soul,

i wanted to tell you today that you don't have to be afraid of losing me anymore.

because you've already done so.

no longer yours,
jonk.

maybe life this time won't.maybe i don't want this kind of life.

somehow life all around me as i knew it and thought i knew it is spiraling away from me faster than i can say 'no thanks' to it and the way it's turning out.why's everyone i used to live believing were just the way i was turning out to be very different from anything i could have possibly imagined them being? why am i increasingly not recognizing the life that i live in now?

am i being left behind? set apart? where do i stand in all this?

i'm bombarded with ideas and concepts that today make me feel more like a stranger in my own shoes than a self-actualized/empowered individual.a few of you will know i've been having problems of my own these few days.as i just told claudia,i'm not sure if i'm really this calm and unfeeling towards the whole issue,or if i'm just controlling the tears somewhere inside.i'm not so sure of who i am anymore.i can't pintpoint my exact feelings.i don't know if i'm angry or sad or indifferent.

reading timmo's blog for possibly the first time ever (properly) made me realize that there are alot of people in my life whom i wish i knew better than MSN-based-knowledge.so many people i've made friends with have incredibly interesting stories to tell.life is truly beginning for me at SMU now.there's so many amazing stories out there for me to hear.

sigh.i don't know what to say.

thanks claud<3.
