Life in college...

"Life in college"
A transition phase
With the world and life at your fingertips
Freedom, time, friends, environment
All at the advantage of your calling
You do what you choose
And choose what you do
With no one in control
But you and you alone.

Its one week in of my college experience
And I'm living the life!!!
Well, maybe just for now
Cos classes havent started
And it has been all orientation and easy, fun stuff
Telematches, auditions, introductions
Friends, friends and friends...
I'm Lovin It!

Got to meet lots of cool people
Seriously Divine
And just became a finalist
After 3 auditions
Skeptical now cos they say
"You will be famous"
And its gonna be intensive
5 to 9 for 7 weeks
How am I gonna study and meet up woth friends?
That's crazy!

Hopfully I'll be able to rule over my circumstance
And forever make my stand
On studies, friendships, and especially my faith
That way college life will turn out great!
It is me against the world!
And college life is the life!!!

10.05.2010 - A Happening New Chapter of My Life

I'm so psyched!
I don't know where to start!!!

First. It's my birthday
Second. It's my first day of college
I've not only grown in age
But in my life's diary I've turned on a new page
My "first-day" and my "birthday"
All in one day!
How cooler can it get?

Made quite a few friends
Got more than a hundred birthday wishes
Wondering why life sways
In such cool motions just like the fishes

What have I ever done
For God to bless me with so much
Life's fun and worth living
For He has blessed me as such

A New Day. A New Phase. A New Life. A New Beginning.
I guess it all starts when you start believing
Of course believing first in the One who made it all possible
Then the rest will naturally follow

Waking up to birthday wishes
And to an orientation full of laughter
Made the anxiety of last night disappear
The fears, the doubts of being unknown
Has trickled away to a place called "forgotten"

Just went out with a friend I just met
Couldn't get as better as it gets
Went out with her for a pleasant dinner
She wanted to take me for its my birthday!

Life's a blur
In a tremendously good way this time
For I'm still trying to recollect my thoughts
From all the happenings of today
It will be something I'll cherish forever

Thank You God for all You've done
For going before me every step of the way
Knowing that even in my present struggle
The outcome of it will be like rubble
Crumbling down to show your result
Making it far greater than it really seem or sound

And to all of you who gave me wishes
For a birthday I will never forget
No candle, no cake
But received love that's far more greater
You all have a mark on this wonderful day of my life

Turning 19 today
And starting college life
Nothing can be more right
Than this
Happening New Chapter of My Life!!!


10.05.2010
A day I will never forget.Period.

My new home....for now

Saw my room just now, not so bad ey! At least its 1st floor and not on ground floor. But! The wall and doors are stuck with those chinese paper on them! I'm so not in the mood right now... I was praying and praying that I'll get a room that is free from those but I guess God has His purpose and reasons. On my floor it was like almost all the room had those things on their doors. Like they were really needed for luck or security or something. I just pray that I can get mine ripped off as soon as I can! God, please fill it with your presence even right now...

I've seen my room just now
And I guess I have to call it home for now
Pretty happy that it's not on ground floor
But it seems that the downsides are more

The table was dirty there was actually hair
Curtains not so clean
Dust everywhere
Cleaning and scrubbing, I'll have to do my share

But the worst part is the paper's on the door
Those that "goes-against-my-belief" and more
I really wanna tear it all down
So that I can feel safe and sound

Haven't seen my roommate yet
But sure hope that we'll be good friends
Able to chat late into the night
And confide in each other we might

But for now most importantly
I pray that God's presence will fill my room right now
May His blood cleanse all evil
Seen or unseen

That although I may not be familiar with this new setting
I'll always be ready for our daily meeting
As I do my devotion or read my bible
Help me not feel self-conscious if there are people looking

Just please be with me Dear Lord
In this new place I call
Home
For now

Standing on Transition Point

Standing on a transition point
Not sure what is the next step

Am I on a cliff?
Ready to soar up high
Like an eagle to spread my wings and fly
Or to fall in my failures
With the feeling of defeat

Or on a road?
Where thorns and nails are in my way
Prickling me in a painful way
Or smooth tar up ahead
Where the journey isn't all that bad

Am I by the sea?
The salt water washing painful memories
Healing and making things new
Or salt added to wounds
Just pure pain and hurtful

Or in a dessert?
Where everything is dry
A stagnant feeling with no one in sight
Or refreshed and filled with hope
When I find my well

Am I in a forest?
The concrete jungle
I will learn so much for everything's new
Or lost and not found
Camouflaged by my surrounding

Or on a ship?
Ready to sail to the farthest seas
In search of what life really means
Or ready to sink in
Into a sea of immorality

Am I on top of the world?
Feeling liberated and full of freedom
I'll try not to get distracted by all the glitter
Or would I fall in abomination
Into the traps of this sinful world

One thing I know
Is that I'm on a journey of faith
May be in the dessert or by the sea
In the oceans or floating on a ship
But wherever I go
Something I know
Is that my Daddy King
He's always with me

It may be scary
It may be fun
It may be stuff I've never expected
But standing here on this transition point
I am fully secured
For I know that like the center of gravity
Things will eventually come back to its core
God is my anchor!
Please see my point! =)

Counting down my days,,,

I'm counting down my days
Days where I'll be in college
Can't wait for this new phase
The adventures & challenges I'll face!

Nervous and naive
But excited and curious
Scared and shy
But full of life

All kinds of emotions
Bottled up inside
Hope they don't erupt
When counting down is up!

Who will my roommate be?
What kinda friends will I make?
Will I be accepted?
Will I be cheated?

When will I adapt?
Will I fit in?
How about my grades?
Will I get through this phase?

So many questions
Running through my head
Hopefully they'll get their answers
In my college days up ahead

So many needs
So many wants
Will I succumb to peer pressure
Or be secured and rest assured

That even though I may want
New clothes, new shoes
And everything in style
My God, My Lord is what I truly want

You'll be there with me every step of my way
As I walk through this leg of my life
Not sure whether it's through a tunnel or stream
A road in the dessert, city or beach.

It may be all the above
And even more then what is searched
But for all that's unearth
It'll make up for what it's worth

God is by my side
So who can be against me?
It's me and God against the world
Or maybe in this case "college"

When I cry myself to sleep the first few nights
Please be my "shoulder to cry on"
When I get lost on campus
Please show me the way
When I feel neglected
Please make me feel accepted
When I feel lonely
Please help me know You're beside me
When I don't have a friend
Please bring one in my path
When assignment are overwhelming
Please help me stay in Your presence
When the world seems upside-down
Please help me get it right-side up

And for the hundreds of questions that are yet unheard of
My fears, my doubts, me feelings,my anticipation
My hopes, my dreams, my loves, my LIFE
You'll be my answer that will truly be right

I pray for my classes, my hostel, my roomie
People that I cross path with
The church that I'm going to
And most of all my journey of faith with You

I promise that You'll be on my mind
The center of my life
The One who drives and motivates me
In living life to the fullest

For even as I walk through this phase
Arm linked with You
Counting down my days
To whatever I'll face......


You'll be with me so
College life here I come!!!!

12 days to go

Idol Gives Back

Just watched "Idol Gives Back" and it's great to see so many stars use their status, fame and name to give to America and parts of Africa plus places like Ethiopia. However, it was quite sad and mind boggling to see so much poverty and diseases robbing the lives of millions each year. It's crazy!!! To think that we already have so many problems affecting our lives, yet sitting on the couch watching malaria kill a child every 30 seconds is just way beyond the biggest most possible hard-felt issue I have gone through! We're talking about lives of innocent children here! (Makes my desire to get a few more jeans seem so cheap)...

"Idol Gives back"
More than just a charity act
Stars, celebs, and people with respect

Coming together for the sake of a fact

The fact that millions of children die of Malaria
Malnutrition and bad conditions

Women giving the best gift ever
The gift of life and they die trying
Babies born without mummies
Husbands left alone with no companion

Seeing all these makes me wonder
The same question I hate myself asking
"If there's a God, why all the suffering?"
"Why the pain, the hurt, the dying?"

Seeing this videos makes me wanna cry
Does God see them and does He cry?
If He does why not reach out
For they'll be healed without a doubt

There are so many questions I wonder "Why" & "How"
Thought I was convicted and already believe
That God sees and help
But why all these?

It just doesn't seem fair
Children living life without a care
Picking food, choosing toys
Which is quite a share

While other kids strive to live from day-to-day
A 10 dollar mosquito net could save a live
And a mere few dollars could bring food on the table
A dollar a day to raise a child

I'm glad that "American Idol" sees
And is helping as much as can be
But does God see?
And smile upon the effort of these people?

It's crazy to ask such a question
For we already know the true fact
That He cares more than we know
Even helps where man cant

But seeing this footage
I cant help but wonder
God You're the answer
And I want to see
If "Idol" can help
So can You a million times more!
Just help me trust and believe
That these people have the aid they need
And faith in You cos that'll determine
Whether they're suffering will end with Joy.
