:D

One of the best weekend ever.

Book In Happy, Book Out Happier.

"Book in happy, book out happier". That was my reply to one of my awesome bunkmate when he caught me smiling all the while when we're on the ferry to our "chalet". Haha i think i'm a lil nuts having such positivity but hey, it's a good thing.

Ahh 3 weeks already! I've met all sorts of people in here and it's a huge part funny but frustrating sometimes. Gotta say that the army is the place where your patience is put to the test and how far you'd go to love your neighbors even if they're really hard to love. So far i think i'm failing like crazy lol. Okay. Love more and make fun less.

But on a more serious note, i've gotta look at my intentions on doing things. Even if i'm giving my best, am i doing it just to get to command school or am i obliged to do my best for God? Mmm it's something i have to keep reminding myself, just what is my motivation, my goals and aims or God Himself? Oh may it never be that i give this my best shot just because i wanna get what i want.

Argh and please pray for my throat lol, i'm losing my voice and croaking like a toad every book out. I cant even sing my favorite songs :( Ahhh the consequence of being a timer and "singer" in the company.

Now That's Something Worth Defending.

2 weeks into training and it's been tiring but nevertheless fulfilling. I kinda like it actually, lol first day in there and the ncc cadet in me just took over, i guess regimentation's in my blood.

It all lies in the attitude actually. If you went in with an attitude that you're gonna waste 2 years of your life, then you probably would. It'd be much better if you go in with a more positive attitude. Good thing i'm of the latter, or maybe i'm just plain silly, I went in thinking i'm gonna serve my country :D and that everything i have here is worth defending. Sounds like a whole lot of patriotism but hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, it's part of being a MAN. Oh my, now i feel kinda sad actually, i'm probably from the wrong era XD, who still hold these thoughts these days?!

Thank God for everything i've experienced in there so far, my bunkmates are awesome and so are the commanders (none too sadistic or anywhere near that.phew.). Oh and not forgetting my wonderful parents, they've been treating me soooo well every time i book out. Lol cant forget how my mom sounded when i called her during the first couple of days in there, i thought she was close to tears XD

So i guess this would be my final phase of growing from a youth to a young adult, it's a brand new chapter and i like it. (i've always loved new things anyway.) There'd be more challenges to overcome, more discoveries about myself, more changes i have to make and also the failures i'd have to pick myself up from but with God, i'm sure i'm gonna have a blast of a time in this season :D

It's Half-past Redemption.

It's half-past redemption and it's so damn hard.

Nevertheless

Mmm been listening to the songs from these guys (they're called Nevertheless) lately. I'd say they're a secular christian band and their songs are pretty sound.

And this is for that special someone who might not even see this lol.



What if the fad burns out?
What if we're left without
Anyone to call our own?
You've got it figured out
If ever your in doubt
Never have to feel alone

People they come and people they go.
I could be wrong, but,
There's one thing I know
It's a longshot, baby,
But someday both of us will die
So I was thinking, maybe,
I could be your semi-perfect guy.
You don't know me, baby,
But I was hopin' we could try
For a longshot, you and I.

What if we take a chance,
What if we break your plans
And let me sweep you off your feet
You said you hate romance,
But I'm a persistent man
And I want you here with me

People they come and people they go.
I could be wrong, but,
There's one thing I know
It's a longshot, baby,
But someday both of us will die
So I was thinking, maybe,
I could be your semi-perfect guy.
You don't know me, baby,
But I was hopin' we could try
For a longshot, you and I.

I've been prayin' all my life
For love that's true,
But I never thought I'd get a girl like you.
O can't you see
Heaven sent you to me. (i lol'ed @ this line. really. it's super cheesy.)

It's a longshot, baby,
But someday both of us will die
So I was thinking, maybe,
I could be your semi-perfect guy.
You don't know me, baby.
But I was hopin' we could try
For a longshot, you and I.

Rest.
