you just can't buy favour from people. not with charm, not with money. maybe once in a while if you have connexions, but mostly you just can't. you just rely on God to grant you favour. And favour plus grace gets you everywhere in this world. It also takes away the pressure to kiss your superior/educator's ass whenever you can. So I am happily under God's grace. Tis going to be a good next 6 weeks.

i subscribe to positivism

i hear the internal clock inevitably ticking away, the one associated with deadlines & responsibilities. shed the old skin, put on the new. dispense with the attitude that tears down, rather adopt the personality that is driven.

being antisocial is one of the ways to survive final year. relying on God is the other far more important one. He is my refuge & my wisdom. i will survive!

metaphores

The end of holidays always invokes a "death-row" state of mind.

There is an eternal black hole in my stomach, as Obelix would say, "I have an empty hole, right here". hence, the constant craving for food.

Then there is that frantic re-reading of favourite children storybooks like Malory Towers, Tintin etc.

Not forgetting lolling around in bed on a nice rainy day.

Its a wonder I'm not the size of a hippo yet, but its getting there. Hence some good in going back to a self-inflicted pauper lifestyle students love to adopt eh.

Yet I have plenty to give thanks for this summer holidays. I have made the most of it and have been mightily blessed. Work, fellowship, outings, food, lolling around, children's stories...loved it all.

May the wheels of time move at a torturous slow pace! Just for these 2 days!

the wailing wall

The calendar sitting on the wall yells the 16th, less than a week till I go back to cold rainy days, massaging fat backs, smelling rank feet and completing pointless assignments. YAY! never mind, that much closer to graduation eh.

old school the christian way

am the happiest camper in the world. found most of Hosanna music on youtube. hoooooray!
