Ang buhay ay parang bato...

...it's hard.






When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin"
I'm whisperin "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
But God believes I am worth it

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou
I'm just a simple sinner who received
God's good grace, somehow...

And the Year 2005 ends...

Thoughts on blogging...

I've tried blogging before, but I tend to delete what few blogs I've ever posted. I dunno why, maybe coz I'm a really private person. And I don't really like to broadcast to the world what I'm really feeling. And I think it's generally pointless to write about generic stuff like "I went to the mall today...", so if I do write, I'd like it to be about what I'm feeling today, or the thoughts in my head. But I don't really like the idea that anyone could just read it and make sloppy judgements or conclusions about me or my life - or what I'm probably feeling for that matter - coz only a handful of close friends have a right to really do that - only the people who know the real me, but more than that, people who know what's really up with my life. But, yeah, I'd like to give blogging a try, after all, I'm a self-confessed can't-live-without-my-journal person. Maybe online journaling could also work for me. So you could count on me making regular posts this coming year. :)

Today...

Well, today is December 23, 2005. It's another boring day at the office. Even the lunch break is boring! :| But I'm also glad for this day, coz it's my last day of work! I'll be on leave next week, hehe.
I'm also quite sick, in fact I even had a fever last night. I was supposed to spend last evening bonding with officemates at starbucks, but then I couldn't go coz I was too weak. Hehe, sayang! But it was absolutely great to sleep for 9 hours!! WOH! Loved that! I probably got sick coz of the work load this past few days.
