i've been slacking for almost the whole day
but you know,
i somehow dont feel the panic and dont feel the guilt
oh well.
but i better get my ass moving soon.

i think yesterday's bio mock sent me reeling
such that i dont wanna go back to studying
but then again, i chant my mantra to myself
"this is the day the Lord has made, i shall rejoice and be glad in it."
indeed, since we need to get by in life anyway,
why not do it feeling happy?being happy? thinking positive?
so yup
i'm gonna go back to work with renewed enthusiasm!

just a verse i read from a story that sort of paralled my life,
at least the first few chapters anyway( dont fancy having my life like how it progressed in the story",
a verse from the Bible
a verse that has been read and reread to us by the principal and the man who spoke at chapel
a verse that has been rining in my head.

Corinthians I: Chapter 13 – Verses 1 – 13:

If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind. It is not envious. It does not boast. It is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.

Love never fails, but where there are prophecies, they will cease. Where there are tongues, they will be stilled, where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish things behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain; faith, hope and love. But, the greatest of these is love.

let us read these words and love
love the ones around us like it's the last day they're gonna be here
love them like we never loved them before
love the ones around you who are deemed as unworthy or not able to have you love them
love your neighbour as yourself
love.
it's so pure and simple
and by loving, with loving, with love just present in your life,
you'll live life with a smile on your face
as i do mine.


here's another verse that's really apt for me now,
i hope it inspires you too(:

To everything, there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die

A time to plant and a time to pluck up that, which is planted.

A time to kill and a time to heal,

A time to weep and a time to laugh,

A time to mourn and a time to dance,

A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

A time to lose and a time to seek,

A time to rend and a time to sew,

A time to keep silent and a time to speak,

A time to love and a time to hate,

A time for war and a time for peace.


and now,
it's the time for me to study
(i know i sound weirdly emo-ey and weird but well. stories, they do that to you sometimes)
