Trouble is a friend, trouble is a friend of mine.

My shoulders are giving me more problems than usual. Hope it has nothing to do with the injury I had 2 weeks ago after an accident in the train. Considering to go for another round of Acupuncture. 

Yesterday, one friend asked about my back. I apologized that I did not want to talk about it. Maybe I am not yet ready to share with my current friends about my condition... Counting back, it has been almost three years. Three hard years. Maybe I am just afraid. Or maybe I have not found the right time to. Or maybe it's just not necessary.

I thank my God for the people who knows and are helping me in some way or another. You guys give me hope :)

Be well, soon!

Everybody around me is falling sick. Flu is a terrible thing.

Praying for a speedy and full recovery for all my dear ones...

Title: I am responsible for my own choices.

I always make it a point to remind myself of the person I should constantly want to be! The truth is, you will never reach to a point where you can say, "Ok, I'll stop here. I think I am a great person." It is always an "On My Way" to become someone better and someone stronger. A never ending process of self-improvement until the day the Lord should want to take me home. People are generally good-natured, but often strayed away because of circumstances. Nevertheless, life is still about making choices. Thought that it will be good to share what is going through my mind... and things I feel so strongly about. 

I will accept people regardless of their background and circumstances.

I will be a person of hope because I know that a person of great influence has the greatest hope.

I will be a person of faith, knowing and believing that nothing is impossible.

I will be a cheerful giver at all times.

I will serve others, knowing that serving is a joy.

I will humble myself, knowing that the way up, is the way down.

I will be quick to listen, and slow to speak.

I will meet a need and heal a hurt.

I will have a great learning attitude.
I will be courageous, bold and built for every season. 

I will never be too proud to say sorry.

I will be a trustworthy and dependable person.

I will be focused and excellent in the things I do.

I will be patient and gentle.

I will always learn to count my blessings.

I will be a forgiving and gracious person, bearing no grudges and keeping no record of wrongs.

I will honor others above myself, including their time.

I will love people unconditionally like how Jesus loves me.

Everybody have their own genuine beliefs, principles and motivations. The above are mine. 

With love,

Jo

Keep in mind, Edification.

You must remember that those people who are good to you might not necessarily be people who are good for you.

The latter has to be people who can (or knows it is important to) edify you, allowing you to grow better in your character, help you reach for your goals and dreams and strengthen you with joy when you need it the most. This people should be more than just nice people. They are committed people. People who will have a special place in your heart.

And then, you do the same. This is how lasting relationships work.

To each its own.

It has been such a pleasure to do music covers recently. Not because of the encouragement and support I receive from people around me, but really, of an increasing interest and a "thing" I could possibly do regularly. It is simply for sharing purposes. The word I prefer using. Therefore, if it goes under or beyond your expectations, it is not my intention. I just hope that my covers will bless you.

Please!

Honour and love your parents, no matter what.

Teach me how to number my days...

As Semester Two begins in a week's time, I am glad to say that this holiday had been a well-spent one.

Got to go for an overseas trip, made a number of international friends, went to the beach, swam in the sea, played Volleyball with shades and a straw hat, attained my driving license, met people that I wanted to meet, caught most of the interesting movies this season, taught a few friends how to play the guitar,  learnt a few gigs, attempted baking with friends and somewhat succeeded, attended a hip-hop open dance class, led Praise and Worship in Cell Group for the very first time, taught Mom how to do Gangnam Style, re-watched touching romantic movies and cried again, became more adventurous than I already am and were in moments that I stood there thinking, Wow, I had the time of my life.

Although going to school isn't really like having a holiday, I know that I can still embrace life as life itself and believe that every new day brings new surprises that God gives when He knocks at the door saying, "Open up, My child. It's time to wake up and get going."

Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met...

I had been having weird dreams the past week. They are weird because I remember them. And it is funny how I can dream so deep that an hour's nap can leave me feeling like I have slept for an entire night! A little creepy too. This makes me very confused... Am I dreaming now?
